DX5R™ Controls and Features
1. MIC 1 ON/OFF - This button is used to turn the microphone signal on and off.
2. MIC 1 (MICROPHONE 1 INPUT) - This jack accepts a standard XLR 3-pin balanced male plug.
The volume output level for this microphone is controlled by the MIC 1 VOLUME KNOB (1).
3. MIC 1 VOLUME (MICROPHONE 1 VOLUME LEVEL) - This rotary knob is used to control the
volume output level for any microphone connected to the MIC 1 INPUT JACKS (2 or 31) . Turning the
knob in a clockwise direction will increase volume output.
4. CHANNEL SOURCE SELECTOR SWITCH (TRANSFORMER SWITCH) - These switches are
used to select the input source assigned to each channel. Each channel may only be assigned one
input source at a time. This switch must be in the “phono” position for turntable operation. For all other
input devices such as CD players and tape decks this switch must be in the “line” position.
5. CHANNEL GAIN CONTROL - This adjustment is used to adjust the audio source signal input gain
for a channel. Never use the gain control to adjust a channels output volume. Setting the gain level
properly will ensure a clean output signal. An improper gain level adjustment will send a distorted
signal throughout the entire audio line which may damage speakers and amplifiers. To properly set a
channels the gain level control:
1. Be sure the MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (8) is set to level 8.
2. Set the ROTARY CHANNEL GAIN (6) to level 8.
3. Begin playback on an audio source connected to the channel you are adjusting.
4. Use the Gain Control to adjust an average output volume of +4 dB in the CHANNEL LED
LEVEL INDICATOR (7).
5. Repeat this step for all channels.
6. ROTARY CHANNEL GAIN - The Rotary Channel Gains are used to control the output signal of any
source assigned to its particular channel. However, the master volume for all channels is controlled by
the MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (8).
7. CHANNEL VOLUME LEVEL INDICATORS - The LED’s indicators that run along each channels EQ
