INTRODUCTION:
Congratulations on purchasing the
UMX DIVISION UMX-SE VCA
mixer.
This state of the art mixer is backed by a three year warranty, excluding
CROSSFADER
and channel slides. Prior to use, we suggest that you
carefully read all the instructions. With
VCA
technology, audio is
processed in a voltage-control
LED
amplifier
(VCA)
removing it from the
CROSSFADER
and channel slides giving them extended life and
reducing travel noise. The
CROSSFADER
and channel slides regulate
the
DC
voltage that controls the
VCA
circuit. Additional advantages of
VCA
technology include the ability to provide precise curve adjustments
for the
CROSSFADER
and channel slides without sacrificing audio
quality. For additional information, refer to the diagrams on
PAGE 3
for
CROSSFADER
adjustment and channel slide curve.
FEATURES:
• 3 Stereo Channels
• State of the Art Cue Section
• 3 Phono/Line Convertible, 2 Line, and 1 Mic Input
• Cut Feature for Low, Mid and High on each channel
• Gain, High, Mid and Low tone controls on each channel
• Balanced and Unbalanced Master Outputs
• Zone and Record Outputs
• Master Output Peak Hold LED Meters
• Prefader Input Level Peak Hold LED Meters for each channel
• Adjustable Input Assign Switches
• Channel Slide Curve Control
• Assignable CROSSFADER with Curve Control
• CROSSFADER Reverse (Hamster) Switch

1. All operating instructions should be read before using this equipment.
2. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not open the unit. There are
NO
USER REPLACEABLE PARTS INSIDE
. Please refer servicing to a
qualified service technician.
IN THE U.S.A., IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS UNIT, CALL 1-732-738-9003
FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. DO NOT RETURN EQUIPMENT TO YOUR DEALER.
3. Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or to a heat source such as a
radiator or stove.
4. This unit should be cleaned only with a damp cloth. Avoid solvents or
other cleaning detergents.
5. When moving this equipment, it should be placed in its original carton and
packaging. This will reduce the risk of damage during transit.
6.
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
7.
DO NOT USE ANY SPRAY CLEANER OR LUBRICANT ON ANY
CONTROLS OR SWITCHES.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT:
When using a
UMX
mixer with professional turntables, such
as the
UMX DIVISIONPT
Series, you can make the mixer
level with
the turntable by removing the mixer’s feet.
1. Place a small screw driver under the foot’s center anchor.
2. Gently pry the center anchor up and the foot will come
OFF
.
To replace the foot:
1. Place the foot on the mixer without the center anchor.
2. Replace the center anchor and push down on it to anchor the foot to the
mixer.
CONNECTIONS:
1. Before plugging in the power cord, make sure that the
VOLTAGE
SELECTOR (1)
switch is set to the correct voltage.
2. Make sure that the
POWER (8)
switch is in the
OFF
position. The
POWER LED (20)
will be
OFF
.
3. The
UMX-SE
is supplied with 4 sets of output jacks. The
BALANCED
MASTER OUTPUT (9)
jacks are used to connect to your main amplifier
using standard
XLR
cables. We recommend using the balanced amp
outputs if the cables to your amp are 10 feet or more.
BALANCED
MASTER OUTPUTS
have three separate conductors, two of which are
signal (positive and negative) and one shield (ground). Pin 1 is ground
(shield). Pin 2 is signal hot (positive). Pin 3 is signal cold (negative). The
MASTER OUTPUT (11)
jacks are unbalanced and used to connect to
your main amplifier. The
REC OUTPUT (10)
jacks can be used to
connect the mixer to the record input of your recorder enabling you to
record your mix. The
ZONE OUTPUT (12)
jacks allow you to hook up an
additional amplifier.
4. The
MIC (7)
input (found on the rear panel) accepts a 1/4" connector
and balanced and unbalanced microphones.
5. On the rear panel are 3 stereo
PHONO/LINE (14, 16, 17)
inputs and 2
stereo
LINE (13, 15)
inputs. The
PHONO/LINE
SWITCH (3)
enables you
to set the
(14)
input to Phono or Line. The
PHONO/LINE
SWITCH (4)
enables you to set the
(16)
input to Phono or Line. The
PHONO/LINE
SWITCH (6)
enables you to set the
(17)
input to Phono or Line. The
phono inputs will accept only turntables with a magnetic cartridge.
GROUND SCREWS (5)
for you to ground your turntables are located on
the rear panel. The stereo line inputs will accept any line level input such
as a CD player, a cassette player, etc.
6. Headphones can be plugged into the front panel mounted
PHONES (45)
jack.
USING THE GROUND LIFT SWITCH:
Depending on your system configuration, sometimes applying the ground
will create a quieter signal path. Sometimes lifting the ground can
eliminate ground loops and hum to create a quieter signal path.
1. With the mixer on, listen to the system in idle mode (no signal present)
with the ground applied (the
GROUND LIFT
SWITCH (2)
in the left
position).
2.
Then turn the power OFF before moving the GROUND LIFT
SWITCH (2)
. Lift the ground by moving the
GROUND LIFT SWITCH
to
the right, turn the power back on and listen to determine which position
will provide a signal devoid of background noise and hum. Keep the
GROUND LIFT SWITCH
in the ground position if the noise level remains
the same in either position.
CAUTION: DO NOT TERMINATE THE AC GROUND ON THE POWER MIXER IN ANY WAY.
TERMINATION OF THE AC GROUND CAN BE HAZARDOUS.
