1.POWER ON: Once you have made all the equipment connections to your mixer, press the POWER (1) switch.

2.CHANNEL 1: The GAIN (11), HIGH (12), MID (13), and LOW (14) controls allow you to fully adjust the volume and EQ of the sound source. The Channel 1 REVERSE SWITCH (15) allows you to reverse the direction of the Channel 1 slide fader. (17) The Channel 1 SLIDE FADER (17) controls the input level of this channel.

3.CHANNEL 2: The GAIN (11), HIGH (12), MID (13), and LOW (14) controls allow you to fully adjust the volume and EQ of the sound source. The Channel 2 REVERSE SWITCH (16) allows you to reverse the direction of the Channel 2 slide fader. (18 ) The Channel 2 SLIDE FADER (18 ) controls the input level of this channel.

4.EQ CONTROLS: There is Low, Mid and High equalization for each channel with an extremely wide range of adjustment.

5.INPUT ASSIGN SWITCHES: You can adjust the position of the INPUT ASSIGN SWITCHES (21, 22) to move left to right, up and down, or at a 45 degree angle.

Make these adjustments with the power OFF.

1) Remove the channel slide knobs, crossfader knobs and the 4 screws from the sides of the lower faceplate. Then remove the lower faceplate.

2) Remove the 2 screws in the corners of the assign switch plate. Rotate the switch plate to the desired position, and replace the screws and tighten down.

3) To position the switch at a 45-degree angle, you need to reposition the switch on the assign switch plate. First, remove the 2 screws in the corners of the assign switch plate. Then, lift the switch plate up and remove the 2 smaller screws next to the switch. Rotate the switch plate to the right until the 45-degree holes align with the switch holes, replace the screws and tighten down. Replace the switch plate and tighten down.

NOTE: Keep track of where you position the input assign switches.

6.CHANNEL SLIDE CURVE SWITCHES: Use the 3 position CHANNEL SLIDE CURVE SWITCHES (23,24) to adjust the kind of curve the channel slides have. Move the selected channel slide curve switch to the 6 (top) position to make the increase in level gradual and even. Move the channel slide curve switch to the 20 (center) position to make the increase in level less gradual as you move channel slide up. Move the channel slide curve switch to the 30 (bottom) position to make the increase in level even less gradual, especially at the top of the slide.

7.CROSSFADER SECTION: The CROSSFADER (25)

allows the mixing of one source into another. The left side of the CROSSFADER (25) is CHANNEL 1 and the right side is CHANNEL 2. The CROSSFADER CURVE CONTROL (26) allows you to adjust the kind of curve the crossfader has. Move the CROSSFADER CURVE CONTROL (26) to the right to make the curve steep and cutting (perfect for scratching). Move the CROSSFADER CURVE CONTROL(26) to the left to make the curve gradual and gentle. The CROSSFADER REVERSE BUTTON (27) allows you to reverse the crossfader so that CHANNEL 2 is controlled by the left side of the crossfader and CHANNEL 1 is controlled by the right side of the crossfader. When REVERSE is activated the REVERSE LED (28) will light.

NOTE: When the CROSSFADER REVERSE BUTTON is activated (depressed), only the crossfader reverses. The Channel Slides, Gain, and EQ controls do not reverse.

8.OUTPUT CONTROL SECTION: The level of the MASTER OUTPUT (2, 3) is controlled by the MASTER CONTROL (20). The BALANCE CONTROL KNOB (19) controls the balance between the output of the left and right channels.

NOTE: The RECORD OUT (4) has no level control. The level is set by the channel slides and the gain controls of the selected channel. The EQ of the channels is set by the low, mid and high controls of that same channel.

9.CUE SECTION: By connecting a set of headphones to the PHONES JACK (10), you can monitor the music coming out of each channel separately or both channels together. Move the CUE FADER (29) to the left to hear CHANNEL 1 and to the right to hear CHANNEL 2. Move the CUE FADER (29) to the center to listen to both channels together. The PHONES MUTE BUTTON (30) will instantly mute your cue mix.

10.DISPLAY: The red LED in the center of the display tells you that the power in your EX-26 Mixer is on.

The multi-colored LED DISPLAY (31) on either side of the center tells you the output level of your 2 channels.

Okay, that’s it! NOW you’re ready to grab a couple of great CD’s or records, crank it up and get the party started!
