5.When moving this equipment it should be placed in its origi- nal carton and packaging. This will reduce the risk of damage during transit.

6.DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

7.DO NOT USE SPRAY CLEANERS OR LUBRICANTS ON CONTROLS, SURFACES OR SWITCHES.

CONNECTIONS:

1.Before plugging this unit into any outlet, make sure that the VOLTAGE SELECTION SWITCH (1) is set to the proper volt- age. To change the selection, unscrew the hard plastic, protec- tive top with a Phillips head screw driver. Then use a flat head screw driver to move the switch to the proper selection (115 V/230 V).

2.Ensure that the POWER SWITCH (4) is in the OFF position prior to making any connections. This unit comes with a power cord. Plug into the rear panel POWER CORD (2) jack before plugging it into a proper power source.

NOTE: LOCATED BY THE POWER CORD (2) JACK IS A 250V FUSE (3) TO PROTECT AGAINST ELECTRICAL SURGES. TO REPLACE THE FUSE, PLACE A FLAT HEAD SCREWDRIVER INTO THE GROOVE LOCATED INSIDE THE POWER CORD (2) JACK AND POP THE FUSE OUT. REPLACE THE FUSE WITH ONLY A 250V FUSE.

3. The PS-01has 4 outputs located on the rear panel:

-The MASTER RCA OUTPUT (5) connects the mixer to your main amplifier using standard audio cables with RCA-type con- nectors.

-The BALANCED MASTER OUTPUT (8) connects the mixer to your main amplifier using standard cables with 1/4" connec- tors. We recommend using balanced cables if the distance to

your amp is 10 feet or more.

- The ZONE (7) output jacks allow the connection of an addi- tional amplifier with RCA cables.

-The REC (6) output jacks can be used to connect the mixer to the record input of your recording unit, thus enabling you to record your mix with RCA cables.

4.Headphones may be plugged into the front panel-mounted HEADPHONE (22) ¼" jack.

5.Microphones may be plugged into the front panel-mounted MICROPHONE (21) ¼" jack.

6.The PS-01 has 3 CONVERTIBLE PHONO/LINE (PH/LN) RCA INPUTS (10, 14, 18) located on the rear panel on either side of the RCA INPUTS. Facing the rear panel, the convertible RCA input on your right is for PH 1/LN 1 (18). The convertible RCA input in the middle is for PH 2/LN 3 (14). The convertible RCA input on your left is for PH 3/ LN 5 (10). Using the PH/LN CONVERTERS (11, 15, 19), located just below each input, you may convert the PH to LN and vice versa. Plug the RCA's from your playable medium into each input to be connected to their respective CHANNELS (CH). The PH INPUTS (10, 14, 18) only accept turntables with a magnetic cartridge. The STEREO LN INPUTS (9, 10, 13, 14, 17, 18) only accept line level inputs such as a CD, DAT, Mini Disc, etc and require the proper switch set- ting.

7.When using (a) turntable(s), you will need to ground the RCA cable(s) by screwing in the grounding fork(s) to the TRIPLE GROUNDING SCREWS (12, 16, 20) located in the rear panel of the PS-01mixer. Attach each PH ground line to one of the TRIPLE GROUND THUMB SCREWS (12, 16, 20). These are to the right of each PH/LN CONVERTERS (11, 15, 19).

NOTE: WHEN USING TURNTABLES, NOT ATTACHING A GROUND MAY CAUSE A SYSTEM "HUM."

OPERATIONS:

1.Once all of your connections have been made in the rear panel, turn on the mixer by pressing the POWER SWITCH (4).

2.CH 1: To bring this channel into program output (PGM), you must first decide which line will be in use. Use the LN SWITCH (23) to toggle from PH 1/LN 1 (18) to MIC 1 (21) to LN 2 (17) on this channel. Once you've selected the proper line, slowly raise the CH 1 SLIDE CONTROL (29) to a comfortable level. You can further modify the sound output of this channel by adjusting the rotary GAIN (24), HIGH (25), MID (27), LOW (26) controls locat- ed above the CH 1 SLIDE CONTROL (29).

3.CH 2: To bring this channel into PGM, you must first decide which line will be in use. Use the LN SWITCH (30) to toggle from PH 2/LN 3 (14) to LN 4 (13) on this channel. Once you've select- ed the proper line, slowly raise the CH 2 SLIDE CONTROL (36) to a comfortable level. You can further modify the sound output of this channel by adjusting the rotary GAIN (31), HIGH (32), MID (34), LOW (33) controls located above the CH 2 SLIDE CONTROL (36).

4.CH 3: To bring this channel in to PGM, you must first decide which line will be in use. Use the LN SWITCH (37) to toggle from PH 3/LN 5 (10) to LN 6 (9) on this channel. Slowly raise the CH

3SLIDE CONTROL (43) to a comfortable level, once you've selected the proper line. You can further modify the sound out- put of this channel by adjusting the rotary GAIN (38), HIGH (39), MID (41), LOW (40) controls located above the CH 3 SLIDE CONTROL (43).

NOTE: FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE, BEGIN PROGRAM MIX WITH ROTARY GAIN (24, 31, 38) CONTROLS SET TO MINIMUM (ROTATE IT COUN-

TERCLOCKWISE TO THE COUNTER CLOCKWISE POSITION). MAKE ALL ADJUSTMENTS IN SOUND OUTPUT WITH THE USE OF YOUR CHANNEL SLIDE CONTROLS (29, 36, 43), ZONE (51), BALANCE (52), AND MASTER (47) VOLUME SLIDE CONTROLS. THIS WILL PREVENT SIGNAL OVERLOAD AND DECREASE DISTORTION. ONCE YOU HAVE MODIFIED YOUR SOUND AND WOULD LIKE TO INCREASE THE OUTPUT OF YOUR SOUND, THEN YOU MAY ADJUST THE ROTARY GAIN CONTROL IF NEEDED.

5.CUE: By connecting a set of headphones to the HEAD- PHONE (22) jack, you can monitor any or all channels. Press
