3 Applications

The stereo mixer with integrated audio player and Bluetooth receiver is suited for professional or private DJ applications as well as for a PA system. The mixer is equipped with four stereo input channels and a DJ microphone channel. Headphones may be connected for prefader listening to the input signals or to the sum signal.

The mixer can be placed as desired or may be installed in a rack (482 mm/19"). Rack installation requires a height of 2 RS (rack spaces) = 89mm .

4 Connecting Units

To avoid interfering noise, switch off the mixer or turn back the following controls to minimum prior to connecting/disconnecting:

-BOOTH (7)
- MASTER (9)
PFL (18)

1) Connect the audio sources to the appropriate input jacks (28):

-jacks LINE and AUX to connect units with line level (e.g. CD player, radio)
-jacks PHONO to connect turntables with magnetic system

-jacks MIC to connect microphones

A maximum of three audio sources can be connected to each input channel. Use the appropriate input selector switches (6) to switch between audio sources.

2) Connect a DJ microphone to the jack DJ MIC (11) on the front panel.
3) Connect the amplifier for PA applications to the XLR jacks MASTER (25) or to the RCA jacks MASTER (26). The two jack pairs may be used simultaneously, e. g. for two amplifiers.
4) Connect a monitor system located in a separate control room to the jacks BOOTH (24). Use the control BOOTH (7) to adjust the volume separately.
5) For audio recordings, connect a recorder to the output jacks REC (27). The recording level is irrespective of the position of the control MASTER (9).
6) Use headphones for prefader listening to the signals of the individual input channels and to the sum signal [i.e. the signals can also be monitored when the appropriate channel fader (5) is completely closed or the control MASTER (9) is turned back to minimum]. Connect the headphones (minimum impedance: 8 ) to the jack 19).
7) Use the mains cable provided to connect the mains jack (22) of the mixer to a mains socket (230V / 50Hz)

5 Operation

CAUTION

Never adjust the audio system and the headphones to a very high volume. Permanent high volumes may damage your hearing! Your ear will get accustomed to high volumes which do not seem to be that high any more after some time. Therefore, do not further increase a high volume after getting used to it.

5.1 Switching on and off

To prevent switching noise and excessive volume, set the following output controls to minimum prior to setting the mixer into operation:

-BOOTH (7)
- MASTER (9)
PFL (18)

Use the POWER switch (21) to switch the mixer on and off. When the mixer is switched on, the LED indicator above the POWER switch will light up.

5.2 Level control of the input channels

The following steps merely serve as an aid; other procedures are possible.

1) First, make the following basic adjustments:
a) In all input channels, set the control GAIN (4) and the tone controls HIGH and LOW (14) to mid-position and completely close the channel fader (5).
b) Turn back the control LEVEL (12) to minimum.
c) To deactivate the crossfading function, set the two sliding switches (16) for the crossfader to position 0.
d) Set the control BALANCE (20) to mid-position.
2) To make sure that the input signal can be indicated ahead of the level indicators (8), turn up the control MASTER (9) to approximately % of its maximum.
3) Advance the channel fader of the first channel used to approximately % of its maximum (position number 7 of the fader), use the input selector switch (6) to select the signal source and then feed an audio signal to the channel (e.g. piece of music, microphone announcement).

For channel CH 1, the audio player or the Bluetooth receiver can be selected as a signal source; please refer to chapters 5.5 and 5.6 for more information on how to operate the audio player and the Bluetooth receiver. Set the input selector switch of channel CH 1 to the position MP3.

4) Observe the level indicators for an optimum adjustment of the input amplification: Adjust the control GAIN so that a level of approximately 0 dB is indicated for music peaks.
5) Adjust the sound, using the tone controls HIGH for high frequencies and LOW for low frequencies. Check the level of the channel and, if necessary, use the control GAIN to correct the input amplification.
6) Close the channel fader. Repeat this procedure for all the other input channels.

5.3 Mixing audio sources

Crossfading between two channels

1) After level control of the input channels has been completed, the channel faders (5) can be used to mix the signals of the input channels or to fade them in and out. Always completely close the faders of the channels that are not used.

2) Use the control MASTER (9) to adjust the definite volume of the sum signal, and use the control BALANCE (20) to adjust the stereo balance. The signal level is indicated by the level indicators (8). Usually, the optimum level is obtained at 0 dB. However, if the output level of the mixer is too high or too low for the amplifier connected, attenuate or boost the sum signal accordingly, making sure that no distortions occur.

Use the control BOOTH (7) to separately adjust the volume of a monitor system that has been connected to the jacks BOOTH (24).

3) For an announcement via a microphone connected to the jack DJ MIC (11), use the control LEVEL (12) to adjust the volume, and the tone controls HIGH and LOW (13) to adjust the sound. If it is necessary to improve the audibility of the announcement, use the faders to attenuate the volume of the input channels CH 1 to 4.
4) The crossfader (15) allows crossfading between two channels. Use the sliding switches (16) to select the two channels that are to be crossfaded.

5.4 Prefader listening to the channels

CH 1-4 and to the sum signal

The input channels CH 1 - 4 can be separately monitored via headphones even when the corresponding channel fader (5) is closed. Thus, it is possible to choose the next title to be played, for example. In addition, the sum signal can be monitored even when the control MASTER (9) has been set to minimum.

1) For prefader listening to an input channel, press the appropriate button CH 1-4 (17), or for monitoring the sum signal, press the button MASTER.
2) Use the control PFL (18) to adjust the headphone volume.

5.5 Operating the audio player

Using the audio player, it is possible to replay MP3, WAVE and WMA audio files from USB flash drives, USB hard disks with separate power supply, and memory cards of up to 32 GB.

1) To replay audio files by means of the audio player, use the input channel CH 1: Set the input selector switch (6) of the channel CH 1 to the position MP3.
2) To replay audio files from a memory card, insert the memory card into the slot for the SD card (3) [notched corner downwards and facing the unit].
3) To replay audio files from a USB storage device, insert a USB flash drive, for example, into the USB port (2) or connect a USB hard disk to the USB port.
4) Replay of the audio files will start after the USB storage device or the memory card has been loaded. Various indications will appear on the display (1) for information; please refer to chapter 1.1, item 1. Use the buttons (10) located beneath the display to operate the audio player. If PLEASE PUSH PLAY appears on the display, first press the button otherwise, it will not be possible to operate the player.

5.6 Operating the Bluetooth receiver

The Bluetooth receiver can be used to establish a radio communication to a Bluetooth signal source (e.g. notebook, Smartphone, tablet PC) which allows the mixer to replay audio files stored at the Bluetooth signal source.

Note: The Bluetooth signal source must be compatible with the A2DP protocol (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile); otherwise, no radio communication will be possible.

1) To replay audio files by means of the Bluetooth receiver, use the input channel CH 1: Set the input selector switch (6) of the channel CH 1 to the position MP3.
2) If PLEASE PUSH PLAY appears on the display (1), first press the button.
3) To switch to the Bluetooth receiver, press the button MODE (10) repeatedly until Blue-tooth appears on the display.
4) Activate the Bluetooth function at the notebook, the Smartphone or the tablet PC and establish the connection to the mixer (please refer to the instructions of the respective device, if necessary).

Note: On the display of the Bluetooth signal source, the mixer is indicated by "RST-02".

5) At the Bluetooth signal source, start the replay of a title.
Note: Player functions such as pause, continue or title selection are only available at the Bluetooth signal source.
6) To switch to audio replay from a memory card or from a USB storage device, press the button MODE repeatedly until SD or USB appears in the first line to the left of the display.
