Parts Diagram and Functions

Rear Panel

1.

Power Button

Press and hold the Power Button for 1 second to boot up the unit. To turn

the unit off the power button must be held down for 3 seconds to pro-

tect from the unit being accidently shut down.

2.

Microphone Input(s) with Gain and EQ

The Dmix 300 has two microphone inputs-one on the front and one on

the rear of the unit. Both microphone inputs share one gain and two

band EQ, located on the front panel of the unit. Both microphone inputs

are 1/4’‘ style jacks.

3.

Headphone jack and Cue Controls

The headphone jack located on the front of the Dmix 300 is designed

to accept any standard headphone using a 1/4’‘ jack. Use the Cue

fader to fade between channels one and two for cue preview. Use the

cue volume control to control headphone volume.

4. USB Connectors (Type A and B)

The Dmix 300 has two USB connectors, Types A and B. Use the Type A

connector to hook up any standard USB Mass Storage Device (MSD).

Use the Type B connector for situations that you may wish to use the unit

as an Ipod dock to transfer files to your Ipod without disconnecting your

Ipod from your unit. To use the Unit as a Dock, set the switch beside the

USB type B connector to PC Dock.

5. Master, Booth and Record Outputs

The Dmix 300 has three outputs, Master, Booth and Record. The Master

output is to be connected to the main speaker system. The booth output

is to be connected to the speaker system located in the DJ booth. Both

of these outputs have volume controls located on the top panel of the

unit. The record output lacks volume and instead outputs at a -10dB

level for recording your set to the device of your choice.

6. DC inlet w/security clamp

This connector is used in conjunction with the DC adapter to power the

unit. Next to the DC inlet connector is a security clamp, which can be

fastened over top of the cable to prevent it from being dislodged.

7. Input Section

The input section consists of 2 analog RCA inputs, labeled Input 1 and

Input 2. When used together with the Line/Phono switch on each channel,

these can accept either a line level source (CD Player, Cassette Deck) or

a Turntable with a Magnetic Cartridge.
