Frequently Asked Questions - FX-120 Omnitronic

How to connect a turntable to the FX-120?

Connect the turntable to the PHONO inputs (CH-1 or CH-2) and set the PHONO/LINE selector to PHONO. Also connect the ground wire to the GND terminal to avoid hum. Use MM cartridges.

How to use the Kill switches?

The KILL switches (TREBLE, MIDDLE, BASS) completely cut the corresponding frequency band (attenuation of -40 dB). Press the switch to mute treble, mid, or bass. Release to restore normal sound.

How to replace the crossfader?

Remove the fader knob, then the two outer screws of the plate. Disconnect the old crossfader and connect the new one (ref. 10007190). Replace the plate and tighten the screws. To change the fader plate, remove the two inner screws.

How to clean the mixer?

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth. Never use cleaning spray on the faders or abrasive products. For the faders, specific cleaning by a technician is recommended.

What does the Talkover function do?

When you press TALKOVER, the microphone level is emphasized and all other audio signals are attenuated by -14 dB. Ideal for making announcements during a mix.

How to connect a microphone?

Connect a microphone with a 6.35 mm jack plug to the MIC jack on the front or rear. Adjust the level with the MIC LEVEL potentiometer. Use the Talkover function if necessary.

Why is there no sound in the headphones?

Check that the headphones are plugged into the HEADPHONES jack. Adjust the level with CUE LEVEL. Use the CUE MIXING fader to select the channel to pre-listen. The CUE SPLIT/MIX button switches between modes.

How to record a mix with the FX-120?

Connect your recorder (cassette, computer) to the REC OUT outputs (RCA). The REC OUT level is not affected by the master; it is controlled by the channel faders.

What is the supply voltage and how to connect the device?

The FX-120 operates on 230 V / 50 Hz via the supplied mains power supply (output AC 10 V / 1 A). Plug the power supply into the mains, then the plug into the POWER jack on the rear. Make sure the switch is OFF before connecting.

What to do if the device does not turn on?

Check that the power supply is correctly connected and that the mains outlet works. Make sure the POWER switch is in the ON position. If the problem persists, contact a qualified technician.
