Fig. 3.1: The DJX400 rear panel connectors
With the exception of the microphone and headphone connectors, the PRO MIXER DX400 only has cinch jacks, which can be found on the rear panel of the console.
The PHONO inputs for channels 1 and 2 are for connecting a turntable.
These are the CD inputs (Line) to connect a tape deck, CD or MD player etc.
The GND connectors ground the turntables.
With the PHONO/LINE switch it is possible to switch the input sensitivity of the PHONO inputs to
The DJX400 has an integrated effect path for an external effect device The MONITOR section signal is tapped via SEND and routed, for example, to an echo device. Thus, the signal at the SEND connector is identical to the headphones signal and is selected with the MONITOR SELECTOR button.
The externally processed signal is added to the MASTER output signal upon its RETURN. The effect signal volume may only be adjusted at the output control of the effect device itself, as the DJX400 has no additional level control for this purpose. If no effects are needed, the RETURN can also be used as an additional recording path for a sampler or the like. Here, too, the output volume must be adjusted on the external device.
+As soon as you are ready to add an effect signal to the output signal, the channel on your headphones (MONITOR) and the channel at the output (MASTER) must be the same. If you are listening to the other channel on your headphones, the effect signal of a completely different song will be added to the MASTER signal. This is because the effect device gets its input signal from the MONITOR section (see
) and the effect signal produced in this way is added to the MASTER signal.
The MASTER output is for connecting to an amplifier and is to be adjusted with the MASTER LEVEL control.
+Always turn the power amps on last to avoid inrush currents that can easily damage your speakers. And, to avoid sudden and unpleasant surprises for your ears, make sure there is no signal at the
DX400 before turning on the power amps. To be sure, slide all the faders to the bottom and switch all controls to the zero position.
Using the TAPE output you can record your music by connecting devices such as tape decks, DAT recorders etc. Unlike the MASTER output, the output volume is fixed, making it necessary for you to adjust the input level on the recording device.

Turn the DJX400 on with this switch.
This is the connector for the power cable. This is where the advantage of a sophisticated internal power supply can be seen: the pulse behaviour of each amplifying circuit is mainly determined by the voltage reserves available. Each mixing console is equipped with numerous operational amplifiers (op amps) to process line level signals. Due to limited output of their power supplies, many mixing consoles show signs of “stress” when subjected to heavy loads. But not your DJX400: the sound is always clear and transparent.
FUSE HOLDER / VOLTAGE SETTING. Before connecting the unit to the mains, ensure that the voltage setting matches your local voltage. Blown fuses should only be replaced by a fuse of the same type and rating. On some units, the fuses holder can be switched to one of two positions, i.e. 230 V and 115 V. N.B: should you desire to operate the unit outside Europe at 115 V, a higher fuse rating is required.
