Note: We recommend you not adjust the GAIN controls after you have preset the in- puts as some sound imbalance could occur.

Setting the Sound Balance

BALANCE lets you adjust the sound balance between the left and right speakers. If your speakers are properly positioned and your listening area is centered between the speakers, the center setting of the control is usually the best.

If the sound seems to be louder from one speaker, adjust BALANCE until the sound seems to be coming from a point midway be- tween the speakers.

USING A MICROPHONE

Using an XLR Microphone

To mix the microphone connected to the XLR jack with other audio input sources, ad- just DJ MIC LEVEL to increase or decrease the microphone volume without affecting the volume of the other inputs.

Set DJ MIC LEVEL to 0 when you are not us- ing the DJ microphone. Or, if the microphone has an ON/OFF control, set it to OFF and leave DJ MIC LEVEL at its preset position.

Using an AUX Microphone

To mix a microphone connected to the AUX MIC jack with other audio input sources, set AUX MIC/LINE to MIC. Adjust AUX LEVEL to increase or decrease the microphone vol- ume without affecting the volume of the other inputs.

When you are not using an AUX microphone, set AUX MIC/LINE to LINE. This lets you mix the output from the device connected to AUX LINE MONO jacks.

Using TALKOVER

To use the microphone and reduce other au- dio inputs so the microphone can be heard more clearly, set TALKOVER to ON.

To turn off TALKOVER, set TALKOVER to OFF. All the audio inputs including DJ MIC

and play at the same output level, and the background music volume is not re- duced.

Using MUTE LEVEL

To increase background music when using TALKOVER, rotate MUTE LEVEL toward MIN. To reduce background music, rotate it to- ward MAX.

Using PAN

To play either microphone or the

output on the left or right channel, adjust the appropriate PAN control. Set it to L to play through the left channel, to R to play through the right channel, or to any other position be- tween L and R to play through both channels.

USING SOUND EFFECTS

There are six preprogrammed sound effects for your mixing selection — a hi-hat close, a rim shot, a cow bell, a cymbal, a bass drum, and a laser drum.

To play a sound effect, repeatedly press or

hold down the desiredbut- ton.

Rotateleft or right to increase and decrease the sound effect vol- ume.

USING ECHO EFFECTS

The mixer plays echo effects, and lets you adjust the echo delay, the number of echo repeats, and the echo's volume.
