Introduction

With a wide variety of choices in both inputs and outputs, the D-MIX500 delivers class-leading flexibility in a cost effective package. A total of seven input channels, four main stereo, one auxiliary stereo and two mono, each with two inputs, will handle up to ten stereo input sources. To keep the DJ fully informed of selected signal sources and outputs, coloured LEDs accompany every major switch on the front panel. Both professional and consumer CD output levels are catered for, and three RIAA equalised phono inputs accommodate turntable pickups.

The D-MIX500 is designed as a high performance mixer for the professional DJ. Front panel controls are kept to a minimum to give a clear and uncluttered appearance while providing sufficient flexibility and choice to meet individual requirements.

The design of the mixer allows for a choice of installations from standard 19" rack mountings, occupying 7U of height, to free standing use on a desk top or table.

All connections are on the rear panel of the mixer for easy access once installed.
