PRO MIXER DX626
2. CONTROL ELEMENTS
Adjust the channel volume with the
CHANNEL
fader.
The PRO MIXER has a talkover function. This feature is
actually quite simple: by pushing the
TALK
button, the
signal of the other input channels is lowered (
TALK
LED
lights up), enabling your voice to be heard more clearly
over the microphone.
The
MASTER
control determines the output volume at the
MASTER output (see
).
A
BALANCE
control for the MASTER output is for shaping
the stereo image.
The
BOOTH
control determines the output volume at the
BOOTH output (see
).
The
CUE
control determines the volume of the headphones
signal (PFL signal).
+
The PFL signal is your headphones signal. It
enables you to preview music without affecting
the MASTER signal
. The headphone channel signal
is taken pre- fader (PFL=Pre-Fader Listening).
With the three buttons
CH-1
,
CH-2
and
CH-3,
you determine
the signal source for the headphones signal. You can
preview the channels individually or listen to all three
simultaneously.
The
MASTER/CUE
fader allows you to control the volume
ratio between the input channels signal and the MASTER
signal on your headphones.
Here you can read the volume level of the PFL and MASTER
signals from three, 10-character LED displays. The lower
LED chain displays the PFL signal and the two upper
LEDs display the right and left MASTER signals.
The PRO MIXER DX626 BPM counter is an extremely useful
feature. It ensures smooth transition from one track to the
next, making your session an absolute success. It can
calculate the various tempi of tracks in bpm (beats per
minute). The left display indicates the tempo on channel 2
and the right display shows the tempo on channel 3.
The
CROSSFADER
is for crossfading between channels
2 and 3.
This is the connector for a commercially available 12-volt
BNC lamp.
Turn on the DX626 with the
POWER
button.

The
HEADPHONES
connector enables you to preview
pieces of music (PFL signal) on your headphones. Your
headphones should have a minimum impedance of
32 ohms.
2.2 Rear panel
Fig. 2.3: The DX626 rear connectors
With the exception of the microphone and headphone
connectors, the PRO MIXER DX626 only has cinch jacks, which
can be found on the rear panel of the console.
This is the
INPUT 1
input for channel 1. It can be switched
to phono or line input sensitivity.
With the
PHONO/LINE
switch at the channel 1 input you
can choose between LINE and PHONO input. However,
in order to do that, the MIC/LINEPHONO switch on the
front panel must be switched to LINEPHONO (see
).
The
PHONO
inputs from channels 2 and 3 are also for
connecting turntables.
These are the
LINE
inputs from channels 2 and 3 for
connecting tape decks, CD or MD players etc.
The
GND
connectors ground the turntables.
Using the
TAPE
output you can record your music by
connecting devices such as tape decks, DAT recorders
etc. Unlike the MASTER and BOOTH outputs, the output
volume is fixed, making it necessary for you to adjust the
input level on the recording device.
