GUIDED TOUR OF FEATURES AND OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS...

If the D M 1 6 3 5 is your first mixer, please read this entire manual before you begin operation.

If you are an experienced DJ simply replace your old mixer. The D M 1 6 3 5 can be rack-mounted or used as a free-standing unit (five 19" rack unit spaces).

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

Study the Connections Diagram on page 13. First, connect all stereo input sources. Next connect your microphone(s) and monitor headphones. Make sure all faders are at "zero" and the unit is off. Finally, connect the stereo outputs to the power amplifier(s) and/or audio sources. Plug the D M 1 6 3 5 into AC power. Now you are ready to switch it on.

The D M 1 6 3 5 is divided into six functional blocks: Input, Crossfader, DJ Mic, Master/Booth Output, Equalizer, and BEATKEEPER. It is important to learn how each of these work.

CHANNEL INPUTS/CONTROLS SECTION

1.Channels 1, 2, 3 & 4 Input Toggle Switches select which source will be live to that channel based on what you have connected to the rear panel input section.

2.The Input Faders are low-noise, low-impedance, high-quality, smooth Alps™ faders. These control individual source levels in the mix.

3.Channel Cue Assign. The C u e pushbuttons are used to route channel audio to the Monitor Section. The channel faders do not control the C u e send volume.

4.Effect Send (Channels 1-4). Depress these buttons when you want the signal from any input channel to be routed to the Send Out Jacks. The channel faders do not affect the signal levels which are routed to the send output.

CROSSFADER SECTION

5.The Crossfader Assign knob to the left of the crossfader lets you choose which input channel will be heard when the crossfader is in the far left position.

6.The Replaceable Crossfader achieves clean segues between the two selected input channels.

"Hard left" selects the channel set up of the Assign L e f t knob. In this example it is Channel 1. "Hard right" selects the channel set up on the Assign Right knob. In this example it is Channel 4. With the crossfader centered both assigned channels are live. Use the crossfader for fast and seamless segues from one selected channel to the other. To turn off the crossfader simply turn both knobs all the way to the left.

N o t e : The crossfader is user replaceable in case of failure. Simply unscrew the two large screws which hold it in place, lift it out and disconnect it’s cable. Re- attach the new crossfader and screw the mounting plate back onto the unit - you’re back in business!

7.The Crossfader Assign knob to the right of the crossfader lets you choose which input channel will be heard when the crossfader is in the far right position.
