sales receipt for warranty purposes.
2. All operating instructions should be read before using this equipment.
3. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not open the unit. There are
NO USER REPLACEABLE PARTS INSIDE. Please refer servicing to a
qualified service technician.
In the U.S.A., if you have any problems with this unit,
call 1-732-738-9003 for customer service. Do not return
equipment to your dealer.
4. Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or to a heat source such as a
radiator or stove.
5. This unit should be cleaned only with a damp cloth. Avoid solvents or
other cleaning detergents.
6. When moving this equipment, it should be placed in its original carton

7. DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
8. DO NOT USE ANY SPRAY CLEANER OR LUBRICANT ON ANY

Connections
1. Before plugging in the power cord, make sure that the VOLTAGE
SELECTOR SWITCH (50) is set to the correct voltage.
NOTE: This product is double insulated and not intended to be
grounded.
2. Make sure that the POWER SWITCH (1) is in the OFF position.
3. The CS-19 and CS-19R are supplied with 2 sets of amp output jacks.
The BALANCED MASTER OUTPUT JACKS (44) are used to connect
to your main amplifier using standard XLR cables. We recommend
using the BALANCED MASTER OUTPUT JACKS if the cables to your
amp are 25 feet or more. Balanced outputs have three separate
conductors, two of which are signal (positive and negative) and one
shield (ground). Pin 1 is ground (shield). Pin 2 is signal hot (positive).
Pin 3 is signal cold (negative). The MASTER OUTPUT JACKS (45) are
unbalanced and used to connect to your main amplifier. The OUTPUT
BOOTH JACKS (46) allow you to hook up an additional amplifier. The
RECORD OUTPUT JACKS (47) allow you to record your mix to a
cassette recorder, CD recorder, etc. The ZONE 1 OUTPUT (48) and
ZONE 2 OUTPUT (49) can be used to connect to additional amplifiers.
4. The MIC 1 and MIC 2 (3) INPUTS (found on the front panel) are
Neutrik Combo connectors, which accept either an XLR jack or a
standard 1/4" jack. Each MIC input has its own individual TREBLE
CONTROL (4), BASS CONTROL (5), LEVEL CONTROL (6), CUE
BUTTON (7) and OVERLOAD LED (43). MIC 3 INPUT (52) is located
on the rear panel. GAIN CONTROLS (53) for MICS 1, 2 & 3 are located
on the rear panel.
The MIC OVERLOAD LEDS (43) will light if the signal to MIC INPUTS 1
& 2 is too high.
5. On the rear panel are 4 stereo PHONO/LINE INPUTS (54, 55, 56, 57),
and 4 stereo LINE INPUTS (58, 59, 60, 61). The PHONO/LINE SWITCH
(62) enables you to set the PHONO/LINE INPUTS (54, 55, 56, 57) to
Phono or Line. The phono inputs will accept only turntables with a
magnetic cartridge. GROUND SCREWS (51) for you to ground your
turntables are located on the rear panel. The stereo line inputs will
accept any line level input such as a CD player, cassette player, etc.
6. Headphones can be plugged into the front panel mounted HEADPHONE
JACK (13).
Using the Ground Lift Switch
Depending on your system configuration, sometimes applying the
ground will create a quieter signal path. Sometimes lifting the ground
can eliminate ground loops and hum to create a quieter signal path.
1. With the mixer on, listen to the system in idle mode (no signal present)
with the ground applied (the GROUND LIFT SWITCH (63) in the "GND"
position).
2. Then turn the power OFF before moving the GROUND LIFT SWITCH
(63). Lift the ground by moving the GROUND LIFT SWITCH (63) to the
"LIFT" position, turn the power back on and listen to determine which
position will provide a signal free of background noise and hum. Keep
the GROUND LIFT SWITCH (63) in the "GND" position if the noise level
remains the same in either position.
CAUTION: DO NOT TERMINATE THE AC GROUND ON THE POWER
MIXER IN ANY WAY. TERMINATION OF THE AC GROUND CAN
BE HAZARDOUS.
