FADER REPLACEMENT
Replacing the Channel Faders
To replace the channel faders simply remove the 4 screws from the fader plates. Carefully lift the fader to disconnect it from
the mixer. Align the 7-pin connector of the replacement fader with the connector on the mixer’s circuit board and push it
down into place.
Replacing the Crossfader
Remove the two screws from extremities of the crossfader plate. Do not remove the two inner screws, as that will separate
the fader from its plate. Carefully lift the crossfader from the mixer and disconnect it by holding the ends of the connector
and pulling. DO NOT PULL ON THE CABLES DIRECTLY or you will risk damaging them.
GETTING STARTED
• Once your system is set up, make sure the MASTER (28) is turned all the way down.
• Turn on the mixer and check your levels. Start with the channel faders (16) down, GAIN (11) and EQs (12) at 12 o’clock.
Start the music. Adjust the GAIN until the LED indicator is blinking. You can also use the main LED meter to view the input
level of each channel by setting the LEVEL METER ASSIGN (29) to PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) and pressing the CUE button
on the channel you want to monitor.
• Assign your channels of choice to either side of the crossfader (19) (or just leave it bypassed if you don’t want to use it)
using the crossfader assign switches (15).
• Make sure your levels are properly set on your sound system and turn the MASTER volume to the desired level. Now you
are ready to go.
USING EFFECTS
The M.505’s send and return circuit was designed to enable DJs to use the crossfader as a wet/dry mix control.
• Once you have connected your effects box as indicated above, select the channel you want to process by pressing the
SEND (13) button.
• Adjust the SEND LEVEL (7) and SEND EQ (8) as desired, making sure you have a good signal going into the effects box.
• You can preview the effects in your headphones by engaging the CUE RETURN (21).
• Once you are ready to activate the effect you return it either to the crossfader by pressing the CROSSFADER RETURN
(17) or directly to the master output by pressing the MASTER RETURN (27).
: Press the SEND button on channel 1. Set the channel 1 CF assign to A. Turn on the RTN on side B of the crossfader.
Make sure no other channel is assigned to the crossfader while mixing the effects in and out. Make sure your SEND and
RETURN levels are set properly. Slide the crossfader from A to B. Once side B is reached, the wet signal is audible.
