3. The PS-03 has 4 outputs located on the rear panel:
- The MASTER RCA OUTPUT (5) connects the mixer to your main amplifier using standard audio cables with RCA-type connectors.
- The BALANCED MASTER OUTPUT (8) connects the mixer to your main amplifier using standard cables with 1/4" connectors. We recommend using balanced cables if the distance to your amp is 10 feet or more.

• The ZONE (7) output jacks allow the connection of an additional amplifier with RCA cables.
• The REC (6) output jacks can be used to connect the mixer to the record input of your recording unit, thus enabling you to record your mix with RCA cables.
• Headphones may be plugged into the front panel-mounted HEADPHONES (22) 1/4 " jack.
• Microphones may be plugged into the front panel-mounted MICROPHONE (21) 1 / 4 " jack.
• The PS-03 has 3 CONVERTIBLE PHONO/LINE (PH/LN) RCA INPUTS (10, 14, 18) located on the rear panel. Facing the rear panel, the CONVERTIBLE RCA input on your right is for PH1/LN1 (18). The convertible RCA input in the middle is for PH2/LN3 (14). The convertible RCA input on your left is for PH3/LN5 (10). Using the PH/LN CONVERTER SWITCHES (11, 15, 19), located just below each input, you may convert the PH to LN and vice versa. Plug the RCA's from your playable medium into each input to be connected to their respective CHANNELS (CH). The PH INPUTS (10, 14, 18) only accept turntables with a magnetic cartridge and require the PH switch setting as indicated in the PH/LN CONVERTER SWITCHES (11, 15, 19). The STEREOLN INPUTS (9, 10, 13, 14, 17, 18) only accept line level inputs such as a CD, DAT, Mini Disc, etc and require the LN switch setting as indicated in the PH/LN CONVERTER SWITCHES (11, 15, 19).
• When using (a) turntable(s), you will need to ground the RCA cable(s) by screwing in the grounding fork(s) to the TRIPLE GROUND THUMB SCREWS (12, 16, 20) located in the rear panel of the PS-03 mixer. Attach each PHONO ground line to one of the TRIPLE GROUND THUMB SCREWS (12, 16, 20). These are adjacent to each PH/LN CONVERTER SWITCH (11, 15, 19).

NOTE: WHEN USING TURNTABLES, NOT ATTACHING A GROUND MAY CAUSE A SYSTEM "HUM."

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Once all of your connections have been made in the rear panel, turn on the mixer by pressing the POWER SWITCH (4).
2. CH1: To bring this channel into program output (PGM), you must first decide which line will be in use. Use the LN SWITCH (23) to toggle from PH1/LN1 (18) to LN2 (17) on this channel. Once you have selected the proper line, slowly raise the CH1 FADER CONTROL (29) to a comfortable level. You can further modify the sound output of this channel by adjusting the rotary GAIN (24), HIGH (25), MID (27), LOW (26) controls located above the CH1 FADER CONTROL (29).
3. CH2: To bring this channel into PGM, you must first decide which line will be in use. Use the LN SWITCH (30) to toggle from PH2/LN3 (14) to LN4 (13) on this channel. Once you have selected the proper line, slowly raise the CH2 FADER CONTROL (36) to a comfortable level. You can further modify the sound output of this channel by adjusting the rotary GAIN (31), HIGH (32), MID (34), LOW (33) controls located above the CH2 FADER CONTROL (36).
4. CH3: To bring this channel in to PGM, you must first decide which line will be in use. Use the LN SWITCH (37) to toggle from PH3/LN5 (10) to LN6 (9) on this channel. Slowly raise the CH3 FADER CONTROL (43) to a comfortable level, once you have selected the proper line. You can further modify the sound output of this channel by adjusting the rotary GAIN (38), HIGH (39), MID (41), LOW (40) controls located above the CH3 FADER CONTROL (43).

NOTE: FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE, BEGIN PROGRAM MIX WITH ROTARY GAIN (24, 31, 38) CONTROLS SET TO MINIMUM (ROTATE IT TO THE COUNTER CLOCKWISE POSITION). MAKE ALL ADJUSTMENTS IN SOUND OUTPUT WITH THE USE OF YOUR CHANNEL FADER CONTROLS (29, 36, 43), ZONE (51), BALANCE (52), AND MASTER VOLUME (47) CONTROLS. THIS WILL PREVENT SIGNAL OVERLOAD AND DECREASE DISTORTION. ONCE YOU HAVE MODIFIED YOUR SOUND AND WOULD LIKE TO INCREASE THE OUTPUT OF YOUR SOUND, THEN YOU MAY ADJUST THE ROTARY GAIN CONTROL IF NEEDED.
5. CUE: By connecting a set of headphones to the HEADPHONE (22) jack, you can monitor any or all channels. Press the CUE BUTTONS (28, 35, 42) for CH1 (29) through CH3 (43) to assign the CH(s) to be monitored in your headphones. The respective CUE LED indicators will glow when in use. Use the front panel located rotary CUE VOLUME CONTROL (44) to adjust the cue volume without changing the overall mix. By turning the front panel located CUE/MIX/PGM ROTARY CONTROL

(45) counter clockwise you will be able to monitor the assigned CUE signal. Slowly turning the control clockwise to the middle position allows you to monitor CUE mix with PGM. Moving the control clockwise to the right allows you to monitor PGM output.

Use the CUE SPLIT/MIX (48) switch to split the audio input playing in your head phones. Flip the CUE SPLIT/MIX (48) switch to MIX mode to monitor your CUE/PGM signal mixed in both headphones, while CUE/MIX/PGM (45) rotary control is in the middle position. When the CUE SPLIT/MIX (48) switch is in SPLIT mode, this enables you to monitor both outputs separately. Notice one side of your headphones will play your CUE and the other side will play PGM. This feature will only work properly if the CUE/MIX/PGM (45) rotary control is placed at the middle position. If the CUE/MIX/PGM (45) rotary control is set to CUE you will only here the CUE signal playing on the left side of your headphones. If the CUE/MIX/PGM (45) rotary control is set to PGM, the PGM will be the only signal heard from the right side of your headphones.

1. CROSS FADER SECTION: The CROSS FADER (46) allows you to mix from one source to another. The CROSS FADER (46) in your unit is removable and if the need arises can be easily replaced. Your Gemini mixer comes with an RG-45 (RAILGLIDE™) DUAL-RAIL CROSS FADER. RAIL GLIDE™ CROSS FADERS have internal dual stainless steel rails that allow the slider to ride smoothly and accurately from end to end. Also available is our RG-45 PRO (PROGLIDE™) DUAL-RAIL CROSS FADER. This unique CROSS FADER features, a special curve designed for scratch mixing.

NOTE: DO NOT APPLY PRESSURE WHILE USING THE CROSSFADER. LIGHTLY GLIDE THE CROSSFADER BACK AND FORTH. PRESSING DOWN ON THE CONTROLS CAN BEND CONTACTS AND CAUSE A LOSS OF SOUND.

1. SLOPE CONTROL: The CROSS FADER SLOPE SWITCH (57) allows you to adjust the kind of curve the CROSS FADER (46) has. Flip the CROSS FADER SLOPE SWITCH (57) down to make the slope steep and cutting (perfect for scratching). Flip the CROSS FADER SLOPE SWITCH (57) up to make the slope gradual and gentle.
2. REVERSE CONTROL: The CROSS FADER REVERSE SWITCH (56) allows you to reverse the CROSS FADER (46) so that the left side CH1 (29) or CH2 (36) is controlled by the right side of the CROSS FADER (46) and the right side CH3 (43) is controlled by the left side of the CROSS FADER (46). Flip the switch up to engage the REVERSE (56) function, down to disengage the REVERSE (56) function.
   NOTE: WHEN THE CROSS FADER REVERSE SWITCH (56) IS ACTIVATED (SWITCHED UP), ONLY THE CROSSFADER (46) REVERSES. THE CHANNEL FADER, GAIN, FILTER EFFECTS AND TONAL CONTROLS DO NOT REVERSE.
3. CROSS FADER ASSIGN: The CROSS FADER ASSIGN (58) switch is used to place CH(s) on either side of the CROSS FADER (46). When the ASSIGN (58) switch is in the top position, CH1 (29) & CH3 (43) are assigned to the CROSS FADER (46). When the REVERSE (56) control is not activated, CH1 (29) will be on the left and CH3 (43) will be on the right. When the REVERSE (56) control is activated CH1 (29) will be on the right and CH3 (43) will be on the left. When the ASSIGN (58) switch is in the bottom position, CH2 (36) & CH3 (43) are assigned to the CROSS FADER (46). When the REVERSE (56) control is not activated, CH2 (36) will be on the left and CH3 (43) will be on the right. When the REVERSE (56) control is activated CH2 (36) will be on the right and CH3 (43) will be on the left. The unassigned CH1 (29) or CH2 (36) will be controlled by their respective slide controls.

4. OUTPUT SELECTION CONTROL: Once you are comfortable with the sound level of your music you may adjust the volume with the MASTER VOLUME (47) slide control. You may adjust the volume of the zone output with the ZONE (51) rotary control. You may also pan the audio output from left to right with the BALANCE (52) rotary control.

5. MIC SECTION: Plug your main MIC into the MIC 1/4" INPUT (21) located on the front panel. Connecting a microphone to the MIC 1/4" JACK (21) allows voice amplification through the mixer to the stereo through the MASTER RCA (5), ZONE (7), BALANCED (8) and REC (6) outputs. This MIC is controlled by the MIC VOLUME (55), HIGH (54), LOW (53) rotary controls. To activate this section, raise the level of the MIC VOLUME (55). The rotary knob will click and a green LED will light up to indicate that the MIC (21) is in use. To deactivate the MIC section rotate counter clockwise until the knob clicks and the MIC VOLUME LED will shut off.

6. VU METER: The PS-03 has a dual mode VU METER (50) that allows you to monitor the decibel levels of CUE and PGM or LEFT and RIGHT stereo levels of the MASTER output. With the VU MODE SWITCH (49) you may monitor the output level of the CUE and PGM when the switch is UP. When this mode is engaged the CUE will be located on the left of the VU METER (50), while the PGM will be located on the RIGHT. Or you can monitor the LEFT and RIGHT stereo decibel levels of the MASTER OUTPUT when the VU MODE SWITCH (49) is in the DOWN position.

FILTER/EFX SECTION:

NOTE: WHEN USING THE FILTER EFFECT, YOU MAY EXPERIENCE A TONAL BOOST DURING A HIGH PASS THAT WILL SEND YOUR MASTER OUTPUT LEVELS INTO THE BLUE (0 THROUGH +11), AS INDICATED IN YOUR VU METER (50). ADJUST THE CHANNEL FADERS (29, 36, 43), IN ORDER TO PROTECT YOUR EQUIPMENT FROM A SYSTEM OVERLOAD. TO BEGIN FILTER EXPERIMENTATION, START WITH A LOW PASS (RESONANCE FADER (65) TO THE LEFT) WITH YOUR CHANNEL FADERS (29, 36, 43) AT MID LEVEL. THEN MOVE SLOWLY THROUGH THE MID AND HIGH PASS TO EXAMINE THE TONAL BOOST, SAFELY.

The PS-03 is equipped with DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR (DSP) FILTER effects. This means you may augment the cut off frequency of your program mix by filtering out the tonal boost located in the LOW, MID, and/or HIGH frequency range. When an audio signal is processed through the FILTER the unselected frequency(ies) will be muffled until it is completely cancelled depending on the level of filtration. A wide range of effects can be achieved with the PS-03 FILTER. Please follow these instructions to operate the FILTER effects section of your mixer:

1. EFX ASSIGN: The PS-03 allows you to select the CH to be filtered, while choosing multiple levels of filtration. Use the EFX ASSIGN (66) switch to select a CH to filter by flipping the switch to the LEFT or RIGHT until the EFX ASSIGN LED reaches the CH you wish to filter. You may filter the audio outputs of CH1 (29), CH2 (36), CH3 (43), MIC (21), or the MASTER (47). The blue LED indicator will show you which CH will be filtered. When the CUE FILTER mode is activated the EFX ASSIGN LED will blink to indicate which CH will be filtered in CUE. In order to choose the frequency pass to FILTER press any of the 3 BAND FILTER PASS (62) buttons located to the right of the CUE FILTER/TEMPO ON (63) button.
   NOTE: WHEN FLIPPING THROUGH CHANNELS AND THE DRY/WET FADER (59) IS AT THE WET POSITION, AN AUDIBLE CLICK MAY BE HEARD IN PGM. TO PREVENT THIS CLICK FROM BEING HEARD, LOWER THE CH SLIDES NOT IN USE TO THE CLOSED, ZERO POSITION, PLACE THE DRY/WET FADER (59) IN THE DRY POSITION BEFORE FLIPPING THROUGH THE CH WITH THE EFX ASSIGN (66).
2. FILTER PASS BUTTONS: When you press one of the frequency FILTER PASS (62) buttons you will engage the pass, or direct the frequency to pass through the FILTER. You will notice this effect more when the DRY/WET FADER (59) is at WET. You may filter up to 3 band frequencies (LOW, BAND, & HIGH) at the same time. These filtration settings can be saved into the filter memory via the FILTER RECALL (61) buttons located on the left of the CUE FILTER/TEMPO ON (63) button. See FILTER RECALL for more info.
3. FILTER RECALL: You may store up to 3 filtration settings into the PS-03 filter memory with the use of the FILTER RECALL (61) section. With this feature you will store various levels of filtration, as set in the FILTER PASS (62) buttons, the DRY/WET (59), Q FACTOR (60), RESONANCE (65), CUE FILTER/TEMPO ON (63) & TEMPO (64) control settings. To store these filtration settings, first set your filter as instructed in the respective filter section instructions in the manual.
   Once your filter has been set, press & hold one of the FILTER RECALL (61) buttons for 2 seconds. The chosen FILTER RECALL LED will flash when a filter setting is stored or the FILTER RECALL (61) is in use. The LED will stop blinking and remain lit when this button is not in use. The LED will remain lit to indicate that a filter setting is stored into the filter memory.

Set your filter to be stored into another filter memory bank.

Repeat these steps to store filter settings into all of the filter memory banks.

The FILTER RECALL (61) buttons have an overwrite feature that is used in the event that the filter setting stored in the memory can be changed. In order to overwrite the FILTER RECALL (61) button, which has a filter setting already stored in the memory, repeat the instructions for storing memory in the FILTER RECALL (61) buttons.

After the filter settings are saved in the filter memory, press a FILTER RECALL (61) button. The saved filter settings will be engaged and the FILTER RECALL (61) button will flash indicating that this button is in use. Press the button again and it will stop flashing indicating that the button is not in use. The LED will remain lit indicating that the setting is still stored in the filter memory. The FILTER RECALL (61) will be disengaged when changing the settings during FILTER RECALL (61). When the FILTER RECALL (61) button is in use, adjusting the filter setting after a setting has been stored into the memory will cancel the FILTER RECALL (61). You will notice the PGM output will change according to the filter setting. The FILTER RECALL LED(s) will remain lit.

To preview the FILTER RECALL (61), engage the CUE FILTER mode, as instructed in the CUE FILTER/TEMPO ON section of the manual. Engage the FILTER RECALL (61) to be previewed. If you are satisfied with your setting, leave the FILTER RECALL (61) button alone. If you are not satisfied and would like to change this setting, you may overwrite the memory by setting the FILTER and pressing and holding the FILTER RECALL button to be overwritten for 2 seconds.

To erase a filter memory bank, press and hold the FILTER RECALL (61) button in use for 5 seconds. The filter memory will be cleared and the FILTER RECALL LED will no longer be on. You may also clear the filter memory by turning the PS-03 mixer off, then turning it back on. The FILTER RECALL LED will no longer be lit to indicate that the memory has been cleared.

1. CUE FILTER/TEMPO ON BUTTON: You can plan your filters by placing your filter in preview mode by engaging the CUE FILTER mode. To do this you must press & hold the CUE FILTER/TEMPO ON (63) button for 5 seconds. The EFX ASSIGN LED will blink when the CUE FILTER mode is engaged. Then use the EFX ASSIGN SWITCH (66) to assign the filter to the CH in CUE. Use your headphones to monitor the progress of the CUE FILTER mode. You may control the volume of the CUE FILTER mode with the respective CH slide controls being monitored. Press and hold the CUE FILTER/TEMPO ON (63) button for 5 seconds to disengage the CUE FILTER mode. The EFX ASSIGN LED will stop blinking to indicate that the CUE FILTER mode has been disengaged.

Engage the TEMPO ON mode to control the recycling speed of the FILTER's effect by pressing the CUE FILTER/TEMPO ON button (63). When in use the CUE FILTER/TEMPO ON LED (63) will blink at the recycling speed you have set into the mixer via the TEMPO (64) rotary control. Use the TEMPO (64) rotary control to adjust the recycling speed of the FILTER's effect. Rotate the TEMPO (64) rotary control clockwise to increase the recycling speed of the FILTER's effect. Rotate the TEMPO (64) rotary control counter clockwise to decrease the recycling speed of the FILTER's effect.

1. DRY/WET FADER: To control this section you must adjust the DRY/WET FADER (59) in order to increase the depth of the FILTER effect. Glide the DRY/WET FADER (59) to the RIGHT to increase the FILTER effect, drowning out the program mix with a WET effect. Glide the DRY/WET FADER (59) to the LEFT or DRY area to decrease the FILTER effect, thus disabling all FILTER effects.
2. RESONANCE FADER: Use the RESONANCE FADER (65) to channel the PGM through variable cut-off frequency responses. Glide the RESONANCE FADER (65) to the LEFT to increase the cut-off frequency response. You will notice the activated FILTER PASS (62) frequencies in your program mix will become the focal point in your audio mix and all other frequencies will sound muffled. While gliding the RESONANCE FADER (65) to the RIGHT from the LEFT, you will notice the FILTER frequency(ies) will begin to blend with the other frequency(ies). Notice how the cut off response goes through the steps, from very sharp cut off on the LEFT to very dull on the RIGHT.
3. Q FACTOR: Use the Q FACTOR (60) rotary control to adjust the FILTER effect's frequency volume. Rotate the Q FACTOR (60) rotary control clockwise to increase the effect's frequency volume, giving the effect a very sharp, audible cut-off response. Rotate the Q FACTOR (60) rotary control counter-clockwise to decrease the effect's frequency volume, giving the effect a dull, less audible cut-off response.
