In the USA: If you experience problems with this unit, please call 1 [phone] for Gemini Customer Service. Do not attempt to return this equipment to your dealer.
3. Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or to a heat source such as a radiator or stove. When operating, ensure that the unit has adequate ventilation.
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.

CONNECTIONS / SETUP:

1. POWER SWITCH: The POWER SWITCH (67) turns the unit ON or OFF. Make sure the switch is in the 'OFF' position prior to making any connections.

2. AC INLET W/FUSE: The AC INLET (65), located on the rear of the unit, is the connector which accepts the AC POWER CABLE (supplied) used to power the unit.

3. VOLTAGE SELECTION SWITCH: The VOLTAGE SELECTION SWITCH (66) 115 allows the unit to operate on either 115 or 230 volt configura- tions, for worldwide operation. Prior to using the unit, make sure that this switch reflects the voltage supplied in your locality.

4. PHONO/LINE INPUTS (42, 45, 48) and PHONO/LINE SELECTION SWITCHES (43, 46, 49): These inputs allow for the connection of a phono-level turntable or a line-level device. If you are connecting a phono-level device, you must switch the corresponding PHONO/LINE SELECTION SWITCH to the PH position. When using a line-level device, such as a CD player, the corresponding PHONO/LINE SELECTION SWITCH must be set to the LN position. Note that if the respective PHONO/LINE SELECTION SWITCH is not in the correct position, it may result in inaudible or distorted sound.

5. LINE INPUTS (44, 47, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54): These inputs will accommodate an analog line-level signal, such as that from a CD player.

GND GND 6. GROUND TERMINAL: When using turntables with the PHONO/LINE INPUTS (42, 45, 48), it will be necessary to connect the GROUND TERMINAL (55), to eliminate hum. With the Power OFF, Simply fasten the grounding fork (included with the turntable's Phono Cable) underneath any of the GROUND TERMINALS (55) found on the rear of the mixer.

7. XLR-1/4" COMBO MIC 1 INPUT (1): This input is found on the face of the mixer, and is used for connecting microphones that are terminated with a 1/4" or XLR connector. This input is controlled solely by the volume and EQ controls found directly below the jack. For more information about using these controls, see the Functions section.

MIC 3 MIC 2 8. Mic 2 AND Mic 3 1/4" INPUTS (57, 58): These inputs are used for connecting additional microphones that are terminated with a 1/4" connector. This is useful for situations that require multiple microphones to be used at the same time. Keep in mind, however, that the using the Mic 2 AND Mic 3 1/4" INPUTS will require that they occupy audio Channels 1 and 2 on the mixer.

BALANCED 9. BALANCED XLR MASTER OUTPUTS (59): These audio outputs carry balanced audio signals from the Master bus of the mixer. Pin 2 is hot, Pin 3 is cold, and Pin 1

is ground. The MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (30) determines the level of audio which is sent to these outputs.

10. RCA MASTER OUTPUTS (60): These audio outputs carry unbalanced audio signals from the Master bus of the mixer. The MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (30) determines the level of audio which is sent to these outputs.

MASTER ATTENUATION □□ 11. MASTER VOLUME ATTENUATION SWITCH (61): This switch allows you to decrease the dB output of the MASTER OUTPUTS (59, 60).

This is useful for situations where the output voltage of the mixer needs to be adjusted for use with certain PA and recording setups. By default, it is OK to leave the MASTER VOLUME ATTENUATION SWITCH in the 'OFF' position. If you notice that the output seems overdriven, or that the maximum volume level that you wish to achieve is reached before the MASTER LED VU METER (24) approaches 0dB, you may move the MASTER VOLUME ATTENUATION SWITCH to the '-10dB' or '-20dB' position.

12. RECORD RCA OUTPUTS (28, 62): These outputs is best suited for connecting a recording device, as it is not altered by the MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (30), MONO BUTTON (32), or BALANCE CONTROL (29). This is useful in a live setting when you are required to change the overall volume of your output, but you do not want to change the level (or properties) of audio being fed to the recording device. The Face-mounted RECORD RCA OUTPUTS (28) are useful for connecting a recording device when the rear of the mixer is not easily accessible.

13. BOOTH RCA OUTPUTS (63): This output is typically used to control only the volume level sent to a monitoring system that is used within the DJ booth. Although these RCA line-level outputs can be used for virtually anything, they are designed to allow a performing DJ to control the level of his monitors while spinning. Changing the level of the booth outputs is accomplished by using the BOOTH VOLUME CONTROL (31).

14. ZONE RCA OUTPUTS (64): This output differs from the rest of the ZONE outputs on this mixer, in the sense that any one of the Audio Channels (1 through 5), or the Master, can be assigned directly to this output by using the ZONE SELECT CONTROL (25). When one of the Audio Channels (1 through 5) is assigned to the Zone Bus, it is sent Pre- Fader to the ZONE RCA OUTPUTS. An example of this would be a club that has two rooms with separate systems but only one DJ. The DJ could have a lounge music CD playing through Channel 1, with the CHANNEL VOLUME FADER (22) all the way down, and the ZONE SELECT CONTROL (25) set to Channel 1. The audio system in the second room, being driven by the Zone Bus would output only the lounge music connected to Channel 1, while the DJ could be actively spinning a completely different style of music using the other channels on the mixer, which would only be output to the system in the main room, connected via the MASTER OUTPUTS (59, 60).

15. AUXILARY RCA INPUTS (27): These inputs can be used to connect any line-level audio device when the rear panel is not easily accessible. The audio being fed to these jacks can be assigned to Channels 4 or 5 by using the respective DEVICE/CHANNEL ASSIGN KNOBS (8).

1. GROUND LIFT SWITCH (56): This switch lifts the signal ground, GND LIFT and may help in the event of a stubborn ground loop issue. Using the GROUND LIFT SWITCH is in no way a substitute for proper wiring, but in a live scenario, it can help to eliminate ground hum. Before changing the position of the switch, make sure to turn the unit Off. If both 'GND' and 'LIFT' settings sound identical, then keep the switch set to 'GND'. FUNCTIONS:

1. HEADPHONE OUTPUT (18): This jack accepts a standard 1/4" (6.35mm) connector, and will power virtually any headphones. OFF

2. X-FADER ASSIGN SWITCH (19): These switches, which are found on each channel, are used to assign each respective audio channel to either the left side (A) or the right side (B) of the X-FADER (21). When the switch is in the middle position (Off), the audio of each channel will be controlled solely by the CHANNEL VOLUME FADER (22), and not by the X-FADER (21).

3. X-FADER CURVE SWITCH (20): This switch determines the X-FADER CURVE taper of the X-FADER (21). When the switch is set to the left (gradual taper), the X-FADER (21) will have a smooth and gradual response which is best suited towards mixing. When the switch is set to the right (short taper), the X-FADER (21) will have a sharper response which is best suited towards scratch and battle use. For an even sharper response, replace the stock fader with an RG-45PRO Scratch Fader (sold separately).

4. X-FADER (21): With this control, you can fade between all of the active channels that are assigned to the 'A' side of the X-FADER and the active channels that are assigned to the 'B' side of the X-FADER. Assigning channels to the X-FADER is accomplished using the X-FADER ASSIGN SWITCHES (19).

5. CHANNEL VOLUME FADER (22): These controls, found on each channel, allow you to control the amount of signal that is sent to the output of the mixer.

6. CHANNEL LED VU METER (23): This VU meter displays the prefader level of the audio source. This has a multitude of uses, such as visually verifying which channels are receiving audio signal or matching the volume levels between two sources. For optimal sound, you should adjust the CHANNEL GAIN CONTROLS (9) until the CHANNEL LED VU METER begins to light the first blue LED.

7. MASTER LED VU METER (24): This VU meter displays the level of the signal being output through the MASTER OUTPUTS of the mixer. For optimal sound, this should not exceed +5dB on the meter.

8. ZONE SELECT CONTROL (25): By using this control, you can select a source to be output directly to the ZONE RCA OUTPUTS (64) found on the rear panel of the mixer. The audio signal output will be completely prefader, which means that the CHANNEL VOLUME FADER (22) has no effect on the level of the output. However, the audio will still be affected by the CHANNEL GAIN CONTROL (9) and CHANNEL EQS (10, 11, 12). When the ZONE SELECT CONTROL is set to Master, the ZONE RCA OUTPUTS (64) will behave the same as the BOOTH RCA OUTPUTS (63).

9. ZONE VOLUME (26): This rotary control determines the volume of the audio being sent out through the ZONE RCA OUTPUTS (64).

10. BALANCE CONTROL (29): This control allows you to pan the Master signal from Left to Right. By default, this control should be in the middle position, which is an equal balance of left and right channels.

11. MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (30): This rotary control determines the volume of the audio being sent out through the MASTER OUTPUTS (59, 60).

12. BOOTH VOLUME CONTROL (31): This rotary control determines the volume of the audio being sent out through the BOOTH RCA

MONO OUTPUTS (63).

1. Mono OUTPUT SWITCH (32): This switch toggles whether the MASTER OUTPUTS (59, 60) will be in Mono or Stereo.

2. AUTO BPM/TAP BUTTON (33): This button controls the BPM detection engine. By pressing and holding this button for 1 seconds, the unit will attempt to automatically detect the beats per minute of the audio channel which is selected via the CHANNEL EFX ASSIGN BUTTON (13). If there is no channel selected, the unit will attempt to detect the BPM of the Master signal. If the unit is not able to accurately detect the BPM, you may tap the AUTO BPM/TAP BUTTON in time to the music until the correct BPM is displayed on the LCD PARAMETER DISPLAY (36). To show the BPM at any time, press the AUTO BPM/TAP BUTTON (33) momentarily, and it will again be displayed on the LCD PARAMETER DISPLAY (36). When the letters 'A BPM' are displayed with the beats per minute, it indicates that the value displayed was automatically detected. When the letters 'T BPM' are displayed with the beats per minute, it indicates that the value displayed was calculated via the TAP function.

3. EFX-TEMPO SYNC ON/OFF (34): When this feature is turned on, any effects that can be synchronized to tempo will be linked to the tempo that is set via the AUTO BPM/TAP BUTTON (33).

4. TEMPO RATIO SELECTOR (35): This selector controls the ratio of the tempo that is set via the AUTO BPM/TAP BUTTON (33). When the control is set to any other value other than 1 (1:1 ratio), the tempo will be multiplied by that value. For instance, if a track is 125 beats per minute, then switching the TEMPO RATIO SELECTOR to 2 would be a 2:1 ratio, and the effect would be applied at 250 beats per minute. If the TEMPO RATIO SELECTOR is set to 1/2, it would be a 1:2 ratio, which means the effect would be applied at 62.5 beats per minute.

5. LCD PARAMETER DISPLAY (36): This blue backlit display shows the effect name and parameter that is relative to the effect. It also shows the detected BPM, when applicable.

MEMORY RECALL 35. MEMORY RECALL BANKS (37): These banks are useful for memorizing effect settings during a performance. By pressing and holding any one of the numbered buttons for 2 seconds, you can memorize all of the effects settings that are currently in place, including Channel, BPM, Tempo Ratio, Tempo Sync On/Off, Parameter, and EFX On/Off. Once you have memorized settings into a recall bank, it can be recalled by simply pressing the button momentarily.

1. EFX PROGRAM SELECTOR (38): This rotary control selects the DSP effect which will be applied to the audio, when engaged.

2. EFX PARAMETER CONTROL (39): This slide control allows you to alter the parameter associated with the DSP effect.

3. EFX DRY/WET CONTROL (40): This rotary control allows you to alter how much of the audio signal is sent through the DSP effects section. For less intense effects, turn the control towards 'Dry'. For more intense effects, turn the control towards 'Wet'.

1. EFX ON/OFF BUTTON (41): By pressing this button, the DSP effect that is selected is turned On or Off.

REPLACING THE X-FADER AND CHANNEL FADERS:

1. Remove the black brushed aluminum plate which outlines the Channel and X-Fader section. The screws can be found at each corner of this plate.

2. To remove a channel fader, simply remove the two screws on the top and bottom of the fader. Disconnect the connector which plugs into the bottom of the fader, and replace it with a new fader. Verify that the fader is facing the appropriate direction before screwing it back in.

3. To replace the X-Fader, first unscrew the two outermost screws from the X-Fader, and disconnect the connector which plugs into the bottom of the fader. Remove the two innermost screws on the front of the fader, to remove the steel limiting plate. Attach the limiting plate to the new replacement X-Fader (model RG-45 or RG-45PRO). Then, replace the connector which plugs into the bottom of the fader, and replace the fader in the appropriate direction before screwing it back in.
