DJ's    countinuing  eveolution  in  audio 

technology. This unit has been built and 

desinged  with  the  typical  DJ  in  mind, 

by  DJ's. We  have  attempted  to  provide 

you with the most relable product on the 

market  by  using  only  componedt  made 

from quility products. 

Master Level - 

Use this level control to set your volume output. Try never to send an output of more 

than +4dB to your sytem. Signal at levels higher than this will start to distord and may cause damage 

to your system and speakers.  Remeber that a distorded signal from you mixer will only be multiplied 

throughout your system.

Channel Trim Level - 

The channel trim levels are not to be used as volume controls, never use the 

channel trim to set the output volume. These controls are used to aid in distortion control. Use these 

control  to  preset  your  signal  level  before  the  crossfader. With  your  channel  faders  in  the  maximum 

position, use the channel trim level to set an average output level of about +4dB on you master level 

meter.

Headphones - 

To avoid sever hearing damage alway be sure the headphone level is set to minimum 

before  plugging  them  in. Never  put  the  headphone  on  without  making  sure  the  headphone  level  is 

turned down. 

Main Mic -

 The main mic connector uses a Nuetrik combo plug which allows you to connect either 

a 1/4" unbalanced jack or by a standart 3-pin XLR balanced connector. The main mic also has an 

indipendent  volume  control  with  seperate  high  and  low  level  adjustments. When  feedback  occures 

when using the mic, try lowering the "low" level this may reduce the feedback. Always leave the mic 

level to it's minimum level when not in use. 

PHONO/AUX/LINE  SWITCH  (5)  - 

This  switch  is  used  to  change  the  selected  input  from  phono 

to  line  and  vice  versa.  Channels  1  and  2  may  be  switched  PHONO/AUX  or  LINE.  Channel  3 

may  be  switched  LINE  3  or  LINE  4.  The  selectors  for  AUX1/PHONO1  and  AUX2/PHONO2  are 

on the rear panel (29).
