Any damage caused by the non-observance of this operation manual excludes any warranty claims. The manufacturer is not liable for any damage to property or for personal injury caused by improper handling or non-observance of the safety instructions.

• This device left the factory in perfect condition. To maintain this condition and to ensure a risk-free operation the user must observe the safety instructions and warnings contained in this operation manual.
• For reasons of safety and certification (CE) the unauthorized conversion and/or modification of the device is prohibited. Please note that in the event of damage caused by the manual modification to this device, any warranty claims are excluded.
• The inside of the device does not contain any parts which require maintenance, with the exception of worn parts that can be exchanged from the outside. Qualified staff must carry out maintenance, otherwise, the warranty does not apply!
• Ensure that the power will only be supplied after the device has been fully set up. Always plug in the USB plug last.
• Only use cables that comply with regulations. Observe that all jacks and bushes are tightened and correctly hooked up. Refer to your dealer if you have any questions.
• Ensure that when setting up the product the USB cable is not squashed or damaged by sharp edges.
• Disconnect the device when not in use and before cleaning! Be sure to hold the USB plug by the body. Never pull the USB cord!
• Position the device on a horizontal and stable base.
• Avoid any concussions or violent impact when installing or operating the device.
• When selecting the location of installation make sure that the device is not exposed to excessive heat, humidity, and dust. Be sure that no cables lie around openly. You will endanger your own safety and that of others!
• Do not rest any containers filled with liquid that could easily spill onto the device or its immediate vicinity. If, however, fluids should access the inside of the device, immediately disconnect the USB plug. Have the device checked by a qualified service technician before reuse. Damage caused by fluids inside the device is excluded from the warranty.
• Do not operate the device under extremely hot (in excess of 35^ C) or extremely cold (below 5^ C) conditions.

Always ensure sufficient ventilation.
• The device must not be operated after being taken from a cold environment into a warm environment. The condensation caused at this moment may destroy your device. Do not switch on or operate the device until it has reached ambient temperature!
• Controls and switches should never be treated with spray-on cleaning agents and lubricants. This device should only be cleaned with a damp cloth. Never use solvents or cleaning fluids with a petroleum base for cleaning.

• When relocating, the device should be transported in its original packaging.

• At commercial facilities, the regulations for the prevention of accidents as stipulated by the organization of professional associations must be observed.

• At schools, training facilities, hobby and self-help workshops the operation of the device must be monitored with responsibility by trained staff.
• Keep this operation manual in a safe place for later reference in the event of questions or problems.

APPLICATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATIONS

• This device is a professional USB-C DVS interface. The Flux Go interface converts the control signal coming from each deck into digital audio, to be sent via USB to the Serato DJ Pro software, which decodes that signal into a stream of information based on what the DJ is doing with the control disc. A virtual “deck” replicates the movements of the control disc. Audio files loaded onto the virtual decks are then played back through the outputs of the hardware, with any manipulation of the control disc reproduced on the audio, effectively emulating vinyl control of the files loaded into the software.
• If the device is used for other purposes than those described in the operation manual, damage can be caused to the product, leading to the exclusion of warranty rights. Moreover, any other application that does not comply with the specified purpose harbors risks such as short circuits, fires, electrical shocks, etc.

MAINTENANCE

• Check the technical safety of the device regularly for damage to the USB cable or the casing, as well as for wear out of wear parts such as buttons and switches.
• If it is to be assumed that a safe operation is no longer feasible then the device must be disconnected and secured against accidental use. Always disconnect the USB cable from the outlet!
• Disconnect the USB cable from your computer.
• It must be assumed that a safe operation is no longer feasible if the device bears visible defects, if the device no longer functions, following longer storage under unfavorable conditions or after major transport stress.

4. Switch the input source between phono/line signal with the phono/line source switches -8-.

CONNECTIONS

To integrate the Flux Go into a typical DJ setup, connect it to your turntables (or CD/Media players) and mixer as follows:

    style E fill:#ffc,stroke:#333

1. INPUTS

Connect your turntables or CD players to the deck inputs -7- on the Flux Go. If you are using turntables, connect their earth wires to the ground terminal -6- on either the Flux Go or your mixer.

2. INPUT LEVEL SELECTION

Set each input to the correct input level using the phono/line switches -8-. Set the switches to UP for phono (turntables) or DOWN for line (CD/Media players).

Note: You can set both channels to either phono or line level input.

3. OUTPUTS

Connect the outputs -3- on the Flux Go to the line inputs on your mixer.

4. CONNECT THE FLUX GO TO YOUR COMPUTER

Using the provided USB cable, connect the USB-C host port -2- on the Flux Go to an available USB-C (optional: USB-A) port on your computer. Make sure you connect it directly to your computer, not through a hub or splitter to ensure stable performance.

DESKTOP SETUP

Deck 1 of the Flux Go features a dedicated 3.5 mm headphone output -4- along with a headphone volume control dial -5-, making it ideal for desktop use as a computer soundcard or headphone pre-amp.

When connected to your computer, the Flux Go can route your full system audio (e.g. media playback) through Channel/Deck 1. This allows you to conveniently monitor audio directly from the Flux Go and via the headphone output -4- and simultaneously through your speakers connected to the Deck 1 RCA outputs:

    G["Speaker 2"] --> H["Microcontroller"]
    I["Head/Headphones"] --> J["Headphones"]
    K["USB-C HostPort"] --> L["USB-C HostPort"]

Note: Usually most operating systems will auto select any new connected soundcard and route the audio signal through channel 1+2 (which represents Deck 1 on the Flux Go Interface). If you hear no sound coming from your computer, make sure the Flux Go is selected as the default soundcard in your Operation System settings.

SERATO DJ PRO & SERATO DVS

The Flux Go includes a built-in Serato DJ Pro and Serato DVS license. Download Serato DJ Pro from here: https://serato.com/dj/pro/downloads. Please see the recommended specifications on the download page.

If you are using Windows, Serato DJ Pro will prompt you to install the required ASIO driver. Click “Install” to proceed. If this does not work, you can also manually download and install the driver from here: Flux Go ASIO driver (Windows only): www.reloop.com/reloop-flux-go If you have needle tracking issues, please see the following article on the Serato website: https://support.serato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202552220-Diagnosing-the-Scope-Views
