S etting Up
You will probably use your D-Mix1000 with a wide range of different types of
sound source, and these will be at varying signal levels. It is important to set the
SENS control correctly to give the best performance. If the input level is too high
the signal will distort as it overloads the channel and causes clipping. If it is too low
the level of any background hiss will be more noticeable and you may not be able
to get enough signal level to the output of the mixer. This is illustrated in the diagram
below.
If the signal level is too low it may be masked
by the noise.

If the signal is too high, clipping distortion
may occur.

Set up the Stereo/Line channels as follows:
(1) Plug in the chosen source (e.g Turntables, CDs).
(2) Set the Master faders up fully.
(3) Provide the chosen source with a typical signal level and press the CUE button
just below the fader. The signal level should now be shown on the CUE bargraph
meter.
(4) Adjust the SENS until the meter is just reaching the yellow LED (0dB) at a
typical maximum source level with a steady signal. This leaves enough headroom
to cope with peaks in the signal without distortion.
(5) Adjust each channel in the same way.
(6) With your amplifier and speakers connected, set the amplifier by using the
amplifiers gain control to give the level that will be required in actual use.
(7) All the levels should now be set correctly to avoid clipping etc.
