Using the DMIX-600
Mixer Section
(

.Gain/EQ section
The DMIX-600 has a 3 band EQ and Gain above each channel. The
Gain may be used to set the audio level prior to the Line faders to
achieve optimal audio volume. As well, you may use the
HIGH/MID/LOW to adjust the Treble, Mid Range and Bass of your
channel.
Note-
FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE, BEGIN PROGRAM MIX WITH ROTARY
GAIN CONTROLS SET TO MINIMUM (ROTATE IT COUNTERCLOCKWISE TO
THE COUNTER CLOCKWISE POSITION). MAKE ALL ADJUSTMENTS IN
SOUND OUTPUT WITH THE USE OF YOUR CHANNEL SLIDE CONTROLS AND
MASTER VOLUME ROTARY CONTROLS. THIS WILL PREVENT SIGNAL OVER-
LOAD AND DECREASE DISTORTION. ONCE YOU HAVE MODIFIED YOUR SOUND AND
WOULD LIKE TO INCREASE THE OUTPUT OF YOUR SOUND, THEN YOU MAY
ADJUST THE ROTARY GAIN CONTROL IF NEEDED
Line and Cross Faders
The next section of the DMIX-600 is the mixer section are the Line and
Cross Faders. The Line fader is the Volume Control of your channel-use it
to adjust output volume of each individual channel. The Crossfader on
the other hand can be used to fade between each channel. The speed in
which the volume comes in on each side of the Cross Fader can be con-
trolled by the Fader Curve Switch, located above the Cross Fader.
The Crossfader is user relaceable, and can be ordered from any
Authorized Cortex dealer or from our own Tech Support department.
VU Meter
The VU meter can be used to view the volume level of both the Master
output of your Dmix-600 as well as the individual channel output. This
can be controlled by using the Cue/PGM switch located above the VU
meter. Set the switch to CUE to view the volume of Channel 1 and
Channel 2. Set the Switch to PGM to view the volume of the Master
Output. To avoid distortion, try to keep the volume level of the Master
Output at between 0 and +5dB on the VU meter.
Cue Section
The Cue section of the Dmix-600 allows the user to preview Channels 1
and 2 before fading them in to be heard through the Main output sec-
tion. To use the Cue preview function, first plug in a set of headphones to
the front mounted Headphone jack. Then, using the Cue fader located on
the front right hand side of the unit, fade between the two channels. You
may use the Cue Volume knob to increase or decrease volume going to
the headphones. The CUE EFX button allows you to preview the effect
that has been assigned to either channel in your headphones.
Microphone Section
The Microphone section of the Dmix-600 allows for the user to plug in up
to two microphones at the same time. Both microphone jacks are 1/4’‘ TS
(Tip-Sleave) style jacks, and share both Volume and EQ controls which
are located on the left hand side of the front panel. You can use the Mic
High and Low controls to change the tone of the signal, and the Mic
Volume control to change the overall volume. Again, please note that
these controls alter both tone and volume of both the front and rear
mounted microphone jacks.
