1. Make sure all items listed in the BOX CONTENTS section are included in the box.

2. READ SAFETY & WARRANTY INFORMATION BOOKLET BEFORE USING THE PRODUCT.

3. Study the connection diagram in this guide.

4. Place mixer in an appropriate position for operation.

5. Make sure all devices are turned off and all faders and gain knobs are set to "zero."

6. Connect all stereo input sources as indicated in the diagram.

7. Connect the stereo outputs to power amplifier(s), tape decks, and/or other audio sources.

8. Plug all devices into AC power.

9. Switch everything on in the following order:

• Audio input sources (i.e. turntables, CD players, etc.)

10. When turning off, always reverse this operation by turning off:

1. POWER IN – Use the included power adapter to connect the mixer to a power outlet. While the power

is switched off, plug the power supply into the mixer first, then plug the power supply into a power outlet.

2. VOLTAGE SELECTOR – This 2-position switch sets the AC input voltage for the speaker. U.S. users

should set this switch to "100-120V" whereas U.K. and most European users will need to set this to "220-240V".

3. POWER SWITCH – Turns the mixer on and off. Turn on the mixer after all input devices have been

connected and before you turn on amplifiers. Turn off amplifiers before you turn off the mixer.

4. GROUNDING TERMINAL – If using phono-level turntables with a grounding wire, connect the

grounding wire to these terminals. If you experience a low "hum" or "buzz", this could mean that your turntables are not grounded. Note: Some turntables have a grounding wire built into the RCA connection and, therefore, nothing needs to be connected to the grounding terminal.

5. PHONO INPUTS (RCA) – Connect phono-level devices, such as turntables, to these inputs.

6. LINE INPUTS (RCA) – Connect line-level devices, such as CD players, samplers or audio interfaces,

7. CH3 USB – Outputs the Record mix to your computer for recording purposes or sends incoming audio

from your computer to mixer's Channel 3.

8. MIC 2 INPUT – If you would like to use an additional 1/4" microphone on Channel 4, connect it to this

input. To route the microphone signal to the mix, you will need to flip the Channel 4 Input Selector switch, located on the top panel, to "Mic".

9. MASTER OUTPUT (BALANCED XLR) – Connect this low-impedance XLR output to a speaker or

amplifier system. The level of this output is controlled with the MASTER FADER on the top panel.

10. MASTER OUTPUT (RCA) – Use standard RCA cables to connect this output to a speaker or amplifier

system. The level of this output is controlled by the MASTER FADER on the top panel.

11. BOOTH OUTPUT (RCA) – Use standard RCA cables to connect this output to a booth monitoring

system. The level of this output is controlled by the Booth knob on the top panel.

12. RECORD OUTPUT (RCA) – Use standard RCA cables to connect this output to a recording device,

such as a CD recorder or tape deck. The level of this output is based upon pre-master levels.5

source to be routed to the corresponding channel. Input jacks are located on the rear panel.

3. CHANNEL LEVEL INDICATOR –

Displays the audio level of the corresponding channel.

4. CHANNEL GAIN – Adjusts the channel's

pre-fader and pre-EQ gain level.

5. CHANNEL TREBLE – Adjusts the high

(treble) frequencies of the corresponding channel.

6. CHANNEL MID – Adjusts the mid-range

frequencies of the corresponding channel.

7. CHANNEL BASS – Adjusts the low

(bass) frequencies of the corresponding channel.

8. CHANNEL CUE – Sends pre-fader audio

to the Cue Channel for headphone monitoring.

9. CHANNEL FADER – Adjusts the audio

level on the corresponding channel.

10. CF ASSIGN – Selects which input channel will be heard when the crossfader is moved towards this

knob. All channels not assigned will remain active.

11. CROSSFADER – Blends audio between the channels assigned to the left and right side of the

crossfader. Note: The crossfader is user-replaceable if it should ever wear out. Simply remove the facepanel, then remove the screws holding it in position. Replace the fader with a quality authorized replacement from your local Numark retailer only.

12. CF SLOPE – Adjusts the slope of the crossfader curve. Flip switch to the left for a smooth fade

(mixing) or to the right for a sharp cut (scratching).

13. HEADPHONES – Connect your 1/4" headphones to this output for cueing and mix monitoring.

14. CUE GAIN – Adjusts the audio level of the Cue channel.

15. CUE MIX / SPLIT – When this switch is in the SPLIT position, the headphone audio will be "split" such

that all channels sent to CUE are mixed to mono and applied to the left headphone channel and the Program mix is mixed to mono and applied to the right channel. When the switch is in the MIX position, Cue and Program audio will be "blended" together.

16. CUE MIX – Turn to mix between Cue and Program in the Headphone channel. When all the way to the

left, only channels routed to CUE will be heard. When all the way right, only the Program mix will be heard.

17. MIC 1 INPUT – Connect a microphone to this input with an XLR cable.

18. MIC GAIN – Adjusts the audio level of the microphone signal.

19. MIC TREBLE – Adjusts the high (treble) frequencies of the microphone channel.

Tip: If you experience feedback when using a microphone at loud levels, try turning down the high frequencies.

20. MIC MID – Adjusts the mid-range frequencies of the microphone channel.

21. MIC BASS – Adjusts the low (bass) frequencies of the microphone channel.

22. MIC ON / OFF – Turns the microphone input on or off. "TALKOVER" reduces the combined levels of

Channels 1-4 to -12dB (an appropriate "talkover" level).

USB OPERATION The M6 USB is equipped with a USB port which allows you to play content from your computer through the mixer, or record audio from the mixer directly into your favorite software application. The USB interface on your mixer works with your computer just like a standard USB sound card. In addition, the USB interface is class-compliant, so there are no special drivers or software to install; simply connect a USB cable from the USB port to your computer and you are ready to go! AUDIO SETUP The M6 USB is a class-compliant device that can be used with any digital audio workstation or recording software that supports USB audio.

4. Close the window.

Be sure your audio software program is set up to receive audio via the M6 USB. This can usually be done in your software's "Preferences" or "Device Setup." Please consult your software manual for more information.

• If you have other USB audio devices connected to your computer, which may have identical names, you may need to try selecting each one until the M6 USB is recognized. If you experience too much latency after adjusting your software latency settings, we recommend the free ASIO4ALL (Audio Stream Input/Output) driver for PC at www.asio4all.com

ASIO drivers generally perform better and with lower latency since they create a more efficient communication between audio devices and software.7
