The Ultimate Party Machine
DJ Mixing System
Introduction….
Thank you for purchasing the Ultimate Party Machine. The Ultimate Party Machine is designed
with a built in power amplifier and speakers for your enjoyment. For larger venues you will want to
use an external power amplifier and speakers.
The Ultimate Party Machine has been built with five primary components:
1.
Two channel stereo audio mixer
2.
Two CD players
3.
Microphone
4.
Amplifier
5.
Speakers
Portability of the unit allows you to be on the move quickly and easily if needed. Ultimate Party
Machine is equipped with sufficient input and output connections, so you can connect it to the
external sources (tape players, amplifiers, receivers, etc.) Overall you will find the Ultimate Party
Machine simple to set up and easy to use…… after all mixing music is about being creative - so why
make life complicated.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION….
Please read this entire manual before connecting this unit to your system.
For optimum performance:
1.
Never use spray cleaners on the slide controls.
Residues cause excessive dirt build-up and this will
void your warranty. In normal use slide controls can
last for many years. If they malfunction (usually
because of a dirty or dusty environment) consult a
professional technician.
2.
Always make sure that AC power is OFF while
making any connections.
3.
Use appropriate cables throughout your system. Do
not use excessively long cables (i.e. over 50ft/14m)
Be sure plugs and jacks are tightly mated. Loose
connections can cause hum, noise or intermittents
that could easily damage your speakers. Make the
input and output connections with readily available
low-capacitance stereo cables. Quality cable makes
a big difference in audio fidelity and punch. See your
Numark dealer or an electronics or audio specialist
store if you are not sure which cables to get.
4.
Never attempt to make any adjustments or repairs
other than those described in this manual. Take the
unit to your dealer or to an authorized Numark
Service Center.
5.
ALWAYS remember: “TURN AMPS ON LAST AND
OFF FIRST”. Begin with master faders or volume
controls on minimum and the amplifier gain/input
control(s) down. Wait 8 to 10 seconds before turning
up the volume. This prevents transients which may
cause severe speaker damage.
6.
Use restraint when operating controls. Try to move
them slowly. Rapid adjustments could damage
speakers due to amplifier clipping.
7.
Avoid amplifier “clipping” at all costs: this occurs
when the red LEDs (usually on the front panel of
most professional power amplifiers) start flashing.
“Clipping” is when the power amplifier is distorting
and working beyond it’s limits. Amplifier distortion is
THE major cause of speaker failure.
8.
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the
unit to rain or moisture. Never place cans of beer,
soda, glasses of water or anything wet on top of the
unit!
