PRODUCING SOUND FROM THE TT-500M
Having ensured that all connections between the TT-500’s and the MIX-
3 are correct (see page 9) you are now able to produce sound from the
system. Follow the guides below to test each of the major functions of the
MIX-3 and TT-500’s.
Note: It is necessary to connect the MIX-3 to a suitable amplifier with
speakers in order to hear the overall mix between channels. See page
10.
Initially we suggest that the master level control (7, pg 6) is adjusted to
approximately 10 o’clock (a third of its travel). This will give enough sound
to be heard, but it is not enough volume to damage speakers should an
accidental overload occur.
Before you begin, please ensure the following
1. Ensure that the crossfader (5, pg 6) is in its central position.
2. Ensure that the input selector switches (4, pg 6) are both set to PHONO.
3. Ensure that both of the channel faders are at their medium level.
To begin playing a record follow the steps below:
1. Turn on one of the turntables using the POWER button on the rear of the
turntable (16, pg 5)
2. Place the record onto the turntable platter (use the 45rpm adapter if
necessary)
3. Press the MOTOR OFF button (13, pg 4) to ensure the motor is rotating.
This button will flash to indicate if the motor is switched off.
3. You can then start or stop the rotation of the platter using the START/
STOP button (1, pg 4)
4. Select your desired RPM speed using the REVOLUTION SPEED buttons
(3 & 4, pg 4)
GETTING GOING
5. Whilst ensuring the cueing lever (10, page 4) is in the ‘up’ position, move
the tone arm to the relevant point over the record.
6. Move the cuing lever to the ‘down’ position to allow the needle to make
contact with the record.
Note:
You can also use the MOTOR OFF button (13, pg 4) as a ‘slow’
play/pause button.
Repeat the above process with the remaining TT-500 so that there are
records playing on both turntables.The signals from the turntables will now
be fed into the MIX-3 mixer.
Using the pitch adjust
Each TT-500 is fitting with a pitch adjust feature (7, pg 4) which allows you to
decrease the pitch by 10% or increase the pitch by 10%. Adjusting the pitch
also adjusts the speed at which the record plays. When mixing you should
use the pitch adjust to match the speeds of the two records playing.
