1. Introduction
The XS-4 is a sophisticated 2 channel DJ mixer which allows the connection of many devices, and allows you to mix in a creative way. Following the sophisticated layout design, the XS-4 combines easy operation with a wide range of functions.
It is VERY IMPORTANT that you read this manual before connecting the mixer in order to obtain its maximum performance.
We recommend our authorised Technical Services whenever any maintenance task should be needed so that optimum operation shall be achieved.
1.1. Some notes and precautions
Treat the XS-4 as you would any other piece of precision equipment.
Avoid exposing it to extremes of temperature and humidity and avoid mechanical shocks and vibration.
Keep the unit away from strong magnetic fields (TV sets, computer monitors, large electric motors, etc.).
Environmental considerations
The XS-4 may be used in most areas, but to maintain top performance, and prolong operating life, observe the following environmental conditions:
The nominal temperature should be between 5^ C and 35^ C ( 41^ F and 95^ F).
Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 degrees non-condensing.
As the unit may become hot during operation, always leave sufficient space above and around the unit for ventilation.
Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as a bookcase or similar unit.
You should not place the unit on a piece of equipment generating heat, e.g. an amplifier, to avoid possible problems with overheating.
XS-4 operates under 100 to 240V, 50-60Hz. Make sure that the power cable is far away from the signal cables in order to avoid any possible audio hum.
NOTE
When transporting the unit, always use the original packing materials or a properly-designed equipment case. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you save all the packing materials that came with the XS-4, in case you need to transport it in the future.
In order to protect the unit from an eventual electrical overload it carries a 250mA fuse. Should it ever blow up, unplug the unit from mains and replace it with an identical one. If the new fuse blows again, contact immediately with our authorized technical service.
WARNING
NEVER SHORT-CIRCUIT THE SECURITY PATH NOR USE A HIGHER VALUE FUSE.
Fuse substitutions have to be performed by a qualified technician.
Connections to other equipment
It is extremely important that the power is turned off on all units when making or breaking connections to or from the XS-4.
When turning power on, it is usually a good idea to start with the source (turntables, CD players, etc.), then the XS-4 and finish with the amplifier system.
Turning power off should be done in the other direction (amplifiers first, then other equipment).
1.2. Serial number, etc.
The serial number of the XS-4 is located on a sticker at the front of the unit on the bottom panel. Make a note of this for future reference (warranty, etc.).
