PRO405 MIXER

Although its small dimensions, the PRO405 has all the characteristics of a great mixer according to the tradition of the Outline PRO series.

Aesthetically this unit points out an innovative aspect as well as the greatest care for detail which combine with a circuitry of high quality.

PRO405 mixer is designed to work ininterruptly with high stability and affordability, with high performances and no faults or maintenance.

Thanks to its versatility the PRO405 is suitable for discos, where it occupies the bare minimum among turntables on DJ's desk, as well as in hi-fi amateurs' houses.

The PRO405 is part of an expandable system. In fact, it is possible to link two PRO405 mixers together by using a built-in special connection which does not occupy any of the input channels.

The mechanical coupling of two PRO405 mixers allows us to obtain a 19" rack standard dimension.

INTRODUZIONE

PRO405 mixer has the following features:

■ # 4 stereo PHONO/LINE and mono MICRO inputs selectable from back panel.

BAL MIC input allows use of balanced and unbalanced microphones by means of Jack connector.

PHONO and LINE inputs are unbalanced and have RCA Pin connectors.

For each input the following features are available:

• Gain adjusting (INPUT GAIN).
• Three-band tone controls (High, Mid, Bass).
• BALANCE adjusting.
- Input insertion switch (OFF⇒ON).
- Sending button of the input to the Monitor Bus (MON).
• Overload indicator (CLIP).
- Input fader with 60 mm travel slide potentiometer.

The 4 inputs are selectable on a crossfader with a 45 mm slider.

It is possible to assign to the left end of the crossfader (A) either input 1 or 2 by means of the three-position A-SELECT switch, while input 3 or 4 can be given to the right end by B-SELECT switch.

By selecting the centre position (Off) on both A-Select and B-Select switches, crossfader is not in use.

■ DJ MIC input.

This is a balanced input which makes use of a XLR connector on the front panel of the unit.

This input has the following features:

• Screwdriver gain control (GAIN).
• Two-band tone controls (HIGH, BASS).
  • Overload indicator (CLIP).
• Input fader with rotary potentiometer (LEVEL).
• DJ's microphone insertion button with talkover function (TALKOVER ON).

By selecting talkover, the mixing of the program (inputs 1, 2, 3 and 4) with DJ's microphone will be sent to the output by the rotary potentiometer. If talkover is not selected, DJ MIC is not active.

■ OUTPUTS section.

Two outputs are available:

• Main output.
• Auxiliary output.

Both outputs are unbalanced, doubled and make use of RCA Pin connectors.

Levels are controlled by rotary potentiometers (MASTER LEVEL and AUXILIARY LEVEL).

AUXILIARY output is selectable as mono by pressing in L+R button and, during the installation, can be subordinated to the main output level control.

■ PHONES section.

Phones monitoring and volume control can be effected by a stereo Jack with the relative level control (MONITOR LEVEL).

The PROGRAM/MON button selects the signal to be sent on phones monitoring: either the program or the inputs selected by the relative MON buttons (with pre-fader levels and subordinated to the CUE).

CUE MONITOR function allows having a simulation (on phones monitoring circuit) of a cross-fading between inputs 1-2 and 3-4.

MONITOR LINK button enables us to have on phones the monitor line of a second PRO405 mixer linked, by proper cable, to the rear connectors (LINK).

■ VU METERS section.

MAIN OUT/MONITOR button switch allows visual monitor by LED bars (23 dB dynamics) of MAIN output or monitor (what you listen on phones).

SEZIONE INGRESSI 1-2-3-4 :

PHONO/MICRO/LINE

The input mode is selectable from the rear panel, where connectors are located.

On the front panel of the mixer are placed the following controls :

INPUT GAIN: rotary potentiometer which allows adjusting within a 20 dB range the gain of the first preamplifier stage, for all types of signal.

HIGH-MID-BASS : equalization section controls.

HIGH: ±12 dB @ 20000 Hz

MID: ±10 dB @ 2000 Hz

BASS: ±15 dB @ 20 Hz

BALANCE : balance control between left and right channels signal levels, to adjust correct balancing in stereo program output.

OFF ⇒ ON : Input channel insertion. Sending of after-fader signal (under input fader control) to program buses.

MON: Key for sending pre-fade level signal to monitor section. Yellow LED (IN) lights when the module is active.

CLIP: overload indicator of the preamplifier circuitry.

INPUT FADER : signal level controls effected by means of a slide potentiometer with 60 millimetres travel.

SEZIONE CROSSFADER

CROSSFADER SECTION

Differently other inputs, this is located on the front panel of the mixer.

DJ MIC: XLR-type connector for micro input.

Pin 1: shield (GND)

Pin 2: phase signal (HOT)

Pin 3: phase inverted signal (COLD)

In case of unbalanced input connect pin 3 to ground (pin 1).

[12] ADJ: gain adjustment on preamp first stage, with a range from 0 dB to -∞ . This adjustment is made operating with a screwdriver on a multiturn trimmer.

LEVEL : signal level control by rotary potentiometer.

CLIP: overload indicator of the preamplifier circuitry.

HIGH-BASS : equalization section controls.

HIGH: ±15 dB @ 20000 Hz

BASS: ±15 dB @ 60 Hz

TALKOVER ON : DJ microphone insertion button with talkover function.

[17] MIX: When talkover is active, it is possible to control the levels of program signal and of DJ's microphone signal to send to outputs.

In MIX position both signals are present: rotating the knob anti-clockwise (PROG) the signal from DJ's Mic fades out to zero, rotating the knob clockwise (DJ MIC) it is the program signal which fades out.

When talkover is not in use, Program is on and DJ's microphone is off-line

SEZIONE USCITE

OUTPUTS SECTION

ACCOPPIAMENTO MECCANICO DI DUE MIXER PRO405

The PRO405 cabinet dimensions have been studied in order to obtain a coupling of two units in compliance with 19" standard rack dimensions.

The coupling of two units is obtained by removing the bottom panel of the right mixer and putting three M3 x 10 mm hex screws in the relative holes, as shown below. After having placed the two mixers side by side, tighten the screws in the three threaded holes in the left mixer side. Once the bottom panel of the right mixer is definitively put in place, the two mixers will form a single cabinet which could be rack-mounted using the relative rack mount hardware.

COLLEGAMENTO DI DUE MIXER PRO405

Use the special connecting cable supplied with the unit.

The linking of two mixers forms a typical Master-Slave configuration with the following characteristics:

• Outputs of Master mixer are able to pick up the signals present on the output lines of both units. The master volume adjust is executed by the Master Level knob of the Master unit.
• Slave mixer outputs are only relative to the signals mixed in the slave unit itself.

Master level adjust on Slave mixer is still active, but only for the same Slave unit.

- In a two-unit system as depicted above, 10 stereo inputs and 4 stereo outputs are available.

- By linking two units is activated a bi-directional monitoring connection which allows the cross-cueing among the different units according to the position of Monitor Link switch [25].

- Following the same technique it is possible to effect further expansions. Contact the Outline Technical Office for this kind of connection.

PERSONALIZZAZIONI / CUSTOMIZATIONS

SENSIBILITÀ VU METERS

The sensitivity of VU meters reading with [28] control placed in MAIN OUT position is set to make 0dB of the LED bars correspond to a 0dBm (0.775V) signal level on MAIN output.

In particular, feeding the inputs with high-level signals, may require a lowering of VU-meters sensitivity, in order to avoid the continuous reaching of full-scale on the instruments.

By moving two jumpers on # AM13-2 PCB it is possible to decrease by 10 dB the reading sensitivity. 0dB of the LED bar will indicate +10dBm effective output level.

USCITA AUXILIARY DERIVATA DALL'USCITA MAIN

Uscita Auxiliary subordinata al Master level dell'uscita Main Auxiliary out subordinated to the Main out Master level

AUXILIARY OUTPUT DERIVED FROM MAIN OUTPUT

In particular applications may be preferable to submit Auxiliary outputs to Main Output (for example to diffuse music program on a secondary dance-floor).

PRO405 allows this moving two jumpers on # UM16-2 PCB.

This way Auxiliary channel program becomes a Main output sub-channel.
