1-GENERAL FEATURES
The DJ842 and M1262 are multi-source
sound mixers.
Due to its concept, especially
recommended for use in Discos or PA
events, they allow the complete processing
of any signal source coming from
conventional turntables, from reproduction
units for Cassette tapes, CDS, Video-TV,
Tuners or electronic musical instruments,
and from balanced Microphones. They are
also perfectly suitable for small Audio
production studios operated by Video
amateurs, as well as for musical
productions at home.
The structure is divided into three
complete, functional sections: INPUTS,
OUTPUTS and CONTROLS.
At the INPUT section there are various
options for each channel:
a) MIC/LINE, with their corresponding
selection switch.
b) A double-function option combining the
Input for Line-reproducing devices (LINE)
with the Input for conventional
Turntables(PH) or CD (CD)
This double selection function is selected
through a button for that purpose located in
the first function-selection range. Each
channel also includes an input level control
(GAIN). It allows an accurate adjustment
of the sensitivity of the incoming signal
(CD, Phono, Cassette, Micro, Instrument,
etc.) for their correct treatment further on
(Equalizing, Monitoring and Mix).
They also include 3 TONE Controls for the
equalizing of High (HIGH), Mid (MID)
and Low (LOW) frequencies with an
adjustment margin of +12/-26 dB per band.
The PFL, which (by just pressing it) sends
the Post-EQ signal to the Headphones
output.
A 5-Led Bar indicates the presence of input
signal in each channel.
Finally, a 45mm FADER of superb quality
allows an efficient and safe contact with the
tracks, avoiding the risk of breakage due to
accidental blows.
Regarding the OUTPUTS there are various
possibilities:
a) A general (BALANCED OUT) option,
electronically balanced by using integrated
components of excellent quality and
provided with XLR-3 connectors, with a
level control (45mm Stereo Fader IN
M1262), a Mono switch (M1262), a
Balance adjust (L/R) and a VU-meter that
includes 20 Led indicators.
b) Another option Stereo (with RCA
connectors), parallel to the main output and
provided with its own Level control.
c) Output Level 2 (with RCA) and level
control (only in M1262)
d) Auxiliary output , with its own Level
Control.
e) One output for REC, which may be used
8
independently for various functions.
f) HEADPHONES: Headphone Output for
the Control of the Program or of the PFL
through PFL-PGM switch.
Finally, a quick Mix CROSSFADER unit is
also available. It has its own circuit offering
superb mixing quality, efficient and
comfortable determination of the channels
to be mixed and, in case of fault or wear, a
quick exchange option that does not require
the system to be turned off.
A switch connects the power from the
general mains supply (230V).
