Always use care when carrying your mixer. Impact, or heavy vibration may compromise the unit's mechanical integrity.The manufacturer is not responsible for damage resulting from an impact, or misuse. ¥When in use, place your mixer away from sources of hum or noise, such as transformers, or electric motors. ¥ To prevent overheating, always provide your mixer with adequate ventilation air space. ¥ Avoid stepping on your mixer's AC cord. Repeated compression of the cord may lead to electrical shorting. ¥ To avoid damage due to AC voltage peaks, always disconnect your mixer from the power source during electrical storms. ¥ Your mixer contains no user-serviceable parts. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage or personal injury resulting from unauthorized user-servicing or modifications. In addition, the warranty will be void if any unauthorized service by the user is detected.

Low frequency hum while operating source unit.Cause Poor ground connection. Loose cartridge/headshell connection. Poor AC source ground. Loose input/output connec- tion. Shorted cable.Solution Properly connect turntable ground wire to mixer ground terminal. Check cartridge connection to headshell. Check head- shell connection to tonearm. Properly ground the AC source. Check all input and output connections for s e c u re fit. Isolate and re p l a c e the damaged cable. Pro g ram volume canÕt be adjusted with master vo l u m e c o n t ro l . No powe r.Amplifier or outboard gear connected to the re c o rd out- put. I m p roperly connected AC cord or power line source not on. B l own fuse.Connect amplifier or outboard gear to master output. Properly connect AC cord to AC power source. Turn powe r o n . Re m ove the fuse cover with a flat-bladed scre wd r i ve r. Replace fuse with a new 500mA fuse. The amplifier is turned up, but there is no signal. No signal in headphones.Faulty output connections Improper level adjustment. Improper connection. Improper level or cue mix settings.Properly connect amplifier, or outboard gear to mixer. Properly set crossfader, channel faders, gain con- trols, and input selector tog- gles. Check headphone connec- tion to mixer. Tighten if nec- essary.

D E S C R I P TI O N O F FU N C TI O NS1. BNC jack: 12V gooseneck light input 2. Power switch: Selects power "ON" or "OFF" 3. Mono/stereo switch: switches the of Master output between a stereo and mono signal 4. Master balance control: Controls left/right signal balance of the master output. 5. Headphone level control: Controls the overall headphone output level. It is recom- mended headphones with an impedance rating of 200 ohms or less be used for maxi- mum volume. 6. Headphone output: Connection for 1/4 inch headphone. Recommended headphone impedance is 32-200 ohms for maximum volume. 7. Booth level control: Controls the signal level of the booth output. 8. Cue pan: Fades the headphone output between the channel(s) selected by the cue assign switches (17) and the master one output, effectively allowing the user to pre- view a mix. 9. Master level control: Controls the overall signal output level of the master output. 10. Equalizer: Individual controls for low frequency, midrange, and high frequency equalization with (+10/-10 dB) Note: Any changes made to EQ settings will change the overall output level. 11. Crossfader source selectors:When set to A, the select channel will be assigned to the left side of the crossfader. when set to B, the selected channel will be assigned to the right side of the crossfader.When set to BYPASS, the crossfader will be bypassed altoghter. 12 . Crossfader: Fades the master output between the channels selected by the Crossfader source selectors (13). 13. Cue assign switch: Selects the channel to be monitored. 14. Fader Start: Turns the fader start function ON or OFF.The fader start will work with CD 22. Output Level meter: Displays the overall signal level of the master output. 23. Fader Start connector:Connects to the sound moduleÕs remote start output (such as StantonÕs S-Series CD players) to control the cue-start via the mixerÕs crossfader. 24. Audio signal inputs: Line inputs are used to connect to line level sources such as CD players, samplers, tape players, etc. Phono inputs are used to connect to turntables. Mic inputs connect directly to microphones. To prevent potential circuit damage, never connect line level source to phono inputs. 25. Audio signal outputs: Master output connects to an amplifier, EQ, crossover, or other outboard signal processing. Record out connects to tape recorder, mini disk recorder, etc. Booth output is a second master output used mostly for in-booth monitoring. 26. AC cord connector: Input connection for the supplied removable AC cord. players (such as StantonÕs S-Series) to start the audio from the CD playerÕs cue point. 15. Channel fader: Controls the input channel level. 16. Microphone volume: Controls the output levels of mics 1, 2, and 3. 17. Mic selector: Turns the mic on or off and activates the automatic talkover circuit. When activated, the automatic talkover circuit reduces the music output based on the setting of the talkover attenuation control (19). 18. Mic EQ: Individual controls for low frequency and high frequency equalization with (+10/-10 dB) for mics 1, 2, and 3. Note: Any changes made to EQ settings will change the overall output level. 19. Microphone 1 and 2 inputs: Combo connector is for mic 1, and the 1/4Ó connector is for mic 2. 20. Input Level meter: Displays the input level. The input level is determined by the input channel controls (24). 21. Input selector switches: Selects phono or line input.
