IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING THE EQUIPMENT
1) For your own safety please read the user manual before operating or connecting the unit.
2) The user manual must be in possession of the owner of the mixing panel. This manual
must be kept in a safe place for future reference.
3) The mixing panel must be connected to a mains power supply with appropriate grounding.
This is necessary for the optimal working of the mixing panel and to assure the safety of
the user.
4) Always handle the power cord by the plug, do not pull the cord. Do not use damaged
power cord or plug. Damaged power cords or plugs can cause fire or create a shock
hazard.
5) Do not open the unit. There are no serviceable parts inside. Only qualified service
technicians can service the unit.
6) Do not expose to rain or water. Do not spill liquid or insert objects inside the unit. Rain,
water or liquid such as cosmetics as well as metal may cause electric shocks, which can
result in fire or shock hazard. If anything gets inside, immediately unplug the power cord.
7) If the mixing panel is not used for a longer period (more than one day), it is recommended
to disconnect the unit from the power supply. Switching off the power switch does not
completely isolate the mixing panel.
8) WARNING! The sound and intensity volume of this product can be very strong and, if not
used properly or if used in close proximity, can cause temporary or permanent damage to
one’s hearing, perhaps even deafness. Use with caution and common sense.
INSTALLATION OF THE MIXING PANEL
1) The set can be used in every position.
2) Do not place the set into direct sunlight or in a warm, humid or dusty place. The operating

impedance between 32 and 600Ω.
16
ATTENTION!
Always turn headphones volume to “0” (fully counter clockwise) BEFORE
putting the headphones on your or somebody else her/his ears! Then slowly
raise the volume by turning the volume knob in clockwise direction.
3) Choose with the input select switch (1) the right audio-source.
4) Switch the PFL button (5) in position ON to listen at the desired source. Turn the phones select
button (19) completely to the left and turn the phones volume potentiometer (18) to the desired
position to get the stereo signal on the headphones and the two left VU-meters. The PFL circuit
works as a sum-system, there is a possibility to listen to more sources at the same time. All
these operations have no influence on the output signal! Adjust with the level control (2) the
input signal until the red indicators of the level meters (23) will light up occasionally. Adjust if
necessary the quality of the sound with the equalizer (3).
LOOK OUT:
The equalizer at each input is used to manipulate the sound of each of the
input sources. To correct the acoustics of the room it is recommended to use
an external equalizer.
5) Open up the fader (6) of the chosen input channel
6) Slide up one or both master faders (20 and or 21) till the desired volume is reached. Also open
the monitor fader (22) to hear the music at the DJ-booth.
7) Correct if necessary the balance with button (4), for monophonic sound on master 1 and 2 set
switch (11) in mono position.
8) If you prefer to use the Crossfader (14) to mix between two channels with one fader, you have
to slide up the channel faders (6) of both channels (channel 1 or 2 and channel 3 or 4).
Afterwards you can fade between both chosen channels by sliding the crossfader-knob from
left to right.
9) To change the source, repeat point 3) to 5).
10) By turning the headphones select potentiometer (19) more clockwise, you will increase the
amount of the main mix signal in the headphones.
11) To add a microphone signal, connect the microphone to the MIC input (7 or P). Turn the level
control (8) and the talk-over (16) to zero, slide up the MIC fader (15) to maximum and adjust
with the level button (8) the volume of the microphone. Adjust with the equalizer (9) the sound
of the microphone. To use the talk-over, adjust the talk-over button (16) (0= no decrease, 10=
total decrease). With the Pan MIC (10), the DJ microphone signal can be positioned anywhere
between left and right. You can connect an external processor e.g. a Compressor or Reverb to
the Effects insert (O) of the microphone channel.
12) The mixed signal can be recorded simply by connecting a recorder to the record-connectors (I).
Depending on the position of the record-select switch (11) you can decide if the microphone
signal is also recorded or not.
13) The main mix signal can also be routed via the Effects insert connectors. In that way a DJeffects processor (preferably with wet/dry control) can be included in the signal path.
14) On the right VU-meters the signal appears selected with the VU2-signal select switch (13). To
compare the pre-fade signal with the output signal over the headphones and the left VUmeters, set the rotative switch (13) on the SUM-position. The PFL-signal now appears on the
two left VU-meters and the output-signal on the other two VU-meters.
17
SUBSONIC FILTER
The two master outputs and the monitor output have a subsonic filter to protect the bass loudspeakers
from DC and subsonic signals. This filter cannot be switched off. The filter generates a reduction of
25dB at 10Hz.

Explanatory words list
Amplitude: The amplitude is the size or the strength of a vibration. This can be a mechanical vibration,
for example a guitar string or the resulting sound wave or from any other cyclical varying appearance in
time. Because any waveform always varies in size, the value of the wave will also vary. The amplitude
is the value from zero to the maximum hit out or strength of the wave.
Analogue signal: (synonym: analog signal) An analogue signal is any time-continuous signal. The
amplitude of the signal varies continuously in function of time. Human ears can only hear analogue
signals (sounds). Digital sounds must always be converted to analogue signals to make them audible.
Asymmetrical (synonym: unbalanced): An unbalanced line is a transmission line, usually coaxial cable,
whose conductors have unequal impedances with respect to ground.
Balance: Balance means the amount of signal from each channel reproduced in a stereo audio
recording. Typically, a balance control will have 0dB of gain in the center position for both channels,
and attenuate one channel as the control is turned, leaving the other channel at 0 dB.
CD: Abbreviation for Compact Disc. It is an optical disc used to store digital data, originally developed
for storing digital audio. The CD, available on the market since late 1982, remains the standard
playback medium for commercial audio recordings to the present day. An audio CD consists of one or
more stereo tracks stored using 16-bit PCM coding at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz. Standard CDs have
a diameter of 120 mm and can hold approximately 80 minutes of audio.
Crossfader (synonyms: CF, X-fader or XF): A crossfader essentially functions like two faders
connected side-by-side, but in opposite directions. It allows a DJ to fade one source out while fading
another source in at the same time with one knob.
DAB: Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) is a technology for broadcasting of audio using digital radio
transmission.
DAT: Digital Audio Tape is a signal recording and playback medium. The audio data is stored on a
magnetic tape. It uses 48, 44.1 or 32 kHz sampling rate and 16 bits quantization.
dB: Abbreviation for decibel (1/10 of a Bel). dB is a logarithmic unit of measurement that expresses the
size of a physical quantity relative to a reference level. Its logarithmic nature allows very large or very
small ratios to be represented by a convenient number. The decibel is commonly used in acoustics to
quantify sound levels relative to some 0dB reference. The reference level is typically set at the
threshold of human perception. A reason for using the decibel is that the ear is capable of detecting a
very large range of sound pressures.
DJ: Abbreviation for Disc Jockey. A DJ is a person who plays pre-recorded (not live) music, either or
not in front of an audience.
Dry signal: Opposite of “Wet signal”. This is the signal as it is, without added deformation, effects,
tone-manipulation, etc.
DVD: Also known as "Digital Versatile Disc" and "Digital Video Disc", is a popular optical disc storage
media format used for data storage, mainly movies. Most DVDs are of the same dimensions as
compact discs, but store more than 6 times the data.
Equalizer: Equalization (or equalisation, EQ) is the process of changing the frequency envelope of a
sound. The audio band is subdivided in 2, 3 or more sub-bands, the volume of each of these bands can
be amplified or attenuated with an equalizer.
27
Fader: Is a linear potentiometer. Faders are mostly used to increase or decrease in the level of an
audio signal. By moving the knob, the volume increases or decreases. A fader can be either analogue
whereby a movement of the knob will result in a change of the resistance, or digital where the
movement of the knob generates a binary code used to change the volume.
Flash card: A memory card or flash memory card is a solid-state (no moving parts) electronic flash
memory data storage device, which can be electrically erased and reprogrammed.
FX: Abbreviation for effects-unit. An effects unit is used to manipulate the sound of music or voice.
Some effect units transform the sound completely, others just color the sound picture in a minor way.
Frequency: Frequency is the measurement of the number of occurrences of a repeated event per unit
of time. The result is measured in hertz (Hz). A baby can hear tones with frequencies from 20Hz to
20000 Hz (20kHz), but these frequencies become more difficult to hear as people age. When a tone
with a frequency of 20Hz is played by a loudspeaker, the loudspeaker will reciprocate 20 times per
second.
HD: Abbreviation of hard disc. It is a non-volatile storage device, which stores digitally encoded data on
rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surfaces.
Headphones: Are a pair of miniature loudspeakers that are hold close to humans ears. DJ’s use types
with pads that go around the ears, usually very large and comfortable.
Hz: Abbreviation of Hertz, named after the German physicist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz. The hertz is the unit
of frequency. Its base unit is cycles per second. Each musical note corresponds to a particular
frequency which can be measured in hertz.
I/O: Abbreviation for input / output
Insert: An insert is an access point built into the mixing console, allowing the user to add external line
level devices into the signal flow.
JACK: It is cylindrical in shape, typically with three contacts (TRS), although sometimes with two (a TS
connector) or four (a TRRS connector). TRS stands for Tip, Ring and Sleeve. In audio-systems, it is
used to connect headphones, microphones, effects-units, electrical musical instruments, etc.
kHz: Abbreviation of kilo Hertz, is 1000 Hertz (see Hz)
LED: Abbreviation of Light Emitting Diode. Is an electronic component that emits light when an
electrical current flows through it.
Loudspeaker: A loudspeaker, speaker, or speaker system is an electromechanical transducer that
converts an electrical signal into sound. The term loudspeaker can refer to individual devices (or
drivers), and complete systems consisting of an enclosure incorporating one or more drivers and
additional electronics.
Line: Line level is a term used to denote the strength of an audio signal used to transmit analogue
sound information between audio components such as CD-players, DVD-players, input signals of audio
amplifiers, mixing consoles, etc. Sometimes also called AUX (auxiliary) signals.
MD: Abbreviation of Mini Disc. It is a rewriteable magneto-optical disc-based data storage device for
storage of up to 80 minutes of digitalized audio.
Micro: Abbreviation of microphone. (synonym: mike or mic) Is an acoustic-to-electric transducer that
converts sound into an electrical signal.
28
Mono: Abbreviation of monaural. Typically there is only one microphone, one loudspeaker, or, in the
case of headphones or multiple loudspeakers, they are fed from a common signal path, and in the case
of multiple microphones, mixed into a single signal path at some stage.
MP3: Abbreviation of MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. This is an audio encoding format. It uses a lossy
compression algorithm that is designed to greatly reduce the amount of data required to represent the
audio recording, yet still sounds like a faithful reproduction of the original uncompressed audio to most
listeners.
Mute: If an audio signal is muted, it is turned off or it’s volume is turned to a lower level.
Pan: Abbreviation of panoramic or panning. Panning is the spread of a monaural signal in a stereo or
multi-channel sound field. A typical pan control is constant power. At one extreme, the sound appears
in only one channel. In the middle, the sound is decreased in that channel by 3 dB, and the other
channel is brought up to the same level, so that the overall sound power level is always constant.
PFL: Abbreviation of Pre Fader Listening. (synonym: cue) This is a function in an audio mixing panel to
allow the user of the mixing panel to listen to the music (mostly via headphones) before the audience
hears the music.
Phono: Abbreviation of phonograph. Also called turntable, record player or pick-up. Is a device to play
music from vinyl records.
Potentiometer: Is an electrical device, which has a user-adjustable resistance. Usually, this is a threeterminal resistor with a sliding contact in the center (the wiper). By moving the wiper, the resistance
changes. These changes are used to to change the characteristics of the audio signal.
RCA (cinch, tulip): Is a type of electrical connector that is commonly used in the audio/video market.
The name "RCA" derives from the Radio Corporation of America, which introduced the design by the
early 1940s to allow phonograph players to be connected to amplifiers. Now these connectors are used
for connections between amplifiers, CD-players, phono-turntables, etc. For analogue audio you need 2
of these connectors for a stereo signal. For digital audio (S/P DIF) only one connector is needed for a
stereo signal. The connectors are colour coded: Left or mono -> White, Right -> Red, S/P DIF ->
Orange.
Rec (recording): Sound recording is the electrical inscription of sound waves, usually used for the voice
or for music. The two main classes of sound recording technology are analogue recording and digital
recording.
RIAA: RIAA equalization is a specification for the correct playback of vinyl records, established by the
Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The purpose of the equalization is to permit greater
playback times, improve sound quality, and to limit the physical extremes that would otherwise arise
from recording analogue records without such equalization. A record is cut with the low frequencies
reduced and the high frequencies boosted, and on playback the opposite occurs. The result is a flat
frequency response.
Sound: Sound can be perceived by the sense of hearing. By sound, we commonly mean the vibrations
that travel through air and are audible to people. Humans and many animals use their ears to hear
sound, but loud sounds and low-frequency sounds can be perceived as vibrations by other parts of the
body via the sense of touch. Sound propagates as waves of alternating pressure, causing local regions
of compression and rarefaction.
Stereo: Stereophonic sound is the reproduction of sound, using two independent audio channels.
Stereophonic sound attempts to create an illusion of location for various instruments within the original
recording.
29
Subsonic signal: This is an audio signal with frequency below 20Hz. This signal is not audible, it only
creates air movement that can be felt.
SUM signal: This signal is the proportional summation (mix) of all input signals. Also called main mix
signal.
Symmetrical (synonym: Balanced): A balanced line or balanced signal pair is a transmission line
consisting of two conductors of the same type, and equal impedance to ground and other circuits.
Balanced lines are operated with differential signals, one of which is the inverse of the other. Balanced
lines reduce the amount of noise per distance, allowing a longer cable run to be practical. This is
because electromagnetic interference will affect both signals the same way. Similarities between the
two signals are automatically removed at the end of the transmission path when one signal is
subtracted from the other.
Talk-over (synonym: voice-over, ducker): It is an effect where the level of one signal is reduced by the
presence of another signal, through the use of side chain compression. A typical application is to
automatically lower the level of the musical background when a talk-over starts, and to automatically
bring the level up again when the talk-over stops.
THD: Abbreviation of Total Harmonic Distortion. When a signal passes through a non-linear device,
additional content is added at the harmonics of the original frequencies. THD is a measurement of the
extent of that distortion.
USB: Abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. It is a serial bus standard to transport data between (mostly
computer related) devices.
Volume: The amount of audio level. If the volume increases, the audio level will increase, which results
in a louder sound.
VU: Abbreviation of volume units. A VU meter is often included in audio equipment to display a signal
level. It is intentionally a "slow" measurement, averaging out peaks and troughs of short duration to
reflect the perceived loudness of the material.
Wave: A wave is a mode of energy transfer from one place to another, often with little or no permanent
displacement of the particles of the medium. Mechanical waves require a medium to transverse the
distance, electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.
Wet signal: Opposite of “Dry signal”. This is the signal inclusive added deformation, effects, tonemanipulation, etc.
XLR: This is a connector invented by Cannon. Originally the "Cannon X" series, subsequent versions
added a Latch ("Cannon XL") and then a Rubber compound surrounding the contacts, which led to the
abbreviation XLR. The most common is the 3-pin XLR3, used almost universally as a symmetrical
audio connector for high quality microphones and connections between equipment.
