PRO MIXER DX626

Adjust the channel volume with the CHANNEL fader.

The PRO MIXER has a talkover function. This feature is actually quite simple: by pushing the TALK button, the signal of the other input channels is lowered (TALK LED lights up), enabling your voice to be heard more clearly over the microphone.

The MASTER control determines the output volume at the

MASTER output (see ).

A BALANCE control for the MASTER output is for shaping the stereo image.

The BOOTH control determines the output volume at the

BOOTH output (see ).

The CUE control determines the volume of the headphones signal (PFL signal).

+The PFL signal is your headphones signal. It enables you to preview music without affecting the MASTER signal. The headphone channel signal is taken pre- fader (PFL=Pre-Fader Listening).

With the three buttons CH-1, CH-2and CH-3,you determine the signal source for the headphones signal. You can preview the channels individually or listen to all three simultaneously.

The MASTER/CUE fader allows you to control the volume ratio between the input channels’ signal and the MASTER signal on your headphones.

Here you can read the volume level of the PFL and MASTER signals from three, 10-character LED displays. The lower LED chain displays the PFL signal and the two upper LEDs display the right and left MASTER signals.

The PRO MIXER DX626 BPM counter is an extremely useful feature. It ensures smooth transition from one track to the next, making your session an absolute success. It can calculate the various tempi of tracks in bpm (beats per minute). The left display indicates the tempo on channel 2 and the right display shows the tempo on channel 3.

The CROSSFADER is for crossfading between channels 2 and 3.

This is the connector for a commercially available 12-volt BNC lamp.

Turn on the DX626 with the POWER button.

The HEADPHONES connector enables you to preview pieces of music (PFL signal) on your headphones. Your headphones should have a minimum impedance of 32 ohms.

With the exception of the microphone and headphone connectors, the PRO MIXER DX626 only has cinch jacks, which can be found on the rear panel of the console.

This is the INPUT 1 input for channel 1. It can be switched to phono or line input sensitivity.

With the PHONO/LINE switch at the channel 1 input you can choose between LINE and PHONO input. However, in order to do that, the MIC/LINE–PHONO switch on the

front panel must be switched to LINE–PHONO (see ).

The PHONO inputs from channels 2 and 3 are also for connecting turntables.

These are the LINE inputs from channels 2 and 3 for connecting tape decks, CD or MD players etc.

The GND connectors ground the turntables.

Using the TAPE output you can record your music by connecting devices such as tape decks, DAT recorders etc. Unlike the MASTER and BOOTH outputs, the output volume is fixed, making it necessary for you to adjust the input level on the recording device.
