OPERATION:
1.POWER ON: Once you have made all the equipment connections to your mixer, press the POWER (1) switch.
2.CHANNEL 1: The GAIN (14), HIGH (15), MID (16), and BASS (17) controls allow you to fully adjust the selected source. SWITCH # (18) allows you to select either the PHONO 1 (11) or the PHONO 2/LINE 1 (10) input. The CHANNEL SLIDE (19) controls the output level of this channel.
3.CHANNEL 2: The GAIN (20), HIGH (21), MID (22), and BASS (23) controls allow you to fully adjust the selected source. SWITCH #
(24)allow you to select either the PHONO 3/LINE 2 (6) or the LINE 3
(5)input. The CHANNEL SLIDE (25) controls the output level of this channel.
NOTE: THERE IS BASS, MID AND HIGH EQUALIZATION FOR EACH CHANNEL WITH AN EXTREMELY WIDE RANGE OF ADJUSTMENT GIVING YOU A SMOOTHER MIX.
4.CROSSFADER SECTION: The CROSSFADER (26) allows the mixing of one source into another. The left side of the CROSSFADER (26) is CHANNEL 1 and the right side is CHANNEL 2. The CROSSFADER (26) in your unit is removable and if the need arises can be easily replaced. Your Gemini mixer comes with an
1.Unscrew the outside FADER PLATE SCREWS (B). Do not touch the INSIDE SCREWS (C).
2.Carefully lift the fader and unplug the CABLE (D).
3.Plug the new fader into the cable and place it back in the mixer.
4.Screw the fader to the mixer.
5.The CROSSFADER REVERSE SWITCH (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.
NOTE: WHEN THE CROSSFADER REVERSE SWITCH (27) IS ACTIVATED (MOVED TO THE RIGHT), ONLY THE CROSSFADER REVERSES. THE CHANNEL SLIDES, GAIN, AND TONAL CONTROLS DO NOT REVERSE.
6.PUNCH IN: The PUNCH IN BUTTONS (28) allow you to add a channel’s signal to the mix when the crossfader is set to the opposite channel.
7.OUTPUT CONTROL SECTION: The level of the MASTER OUTPUT (3) is controlled by the MASTER (29) control.
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 TONAL QUALITIES ARE SET BY THE BASS, MID AND HIGH CONTROLS OF THAT SAME CHANNEL.
8.TALKOVER SECTION: The purpose of the TALKOVER section is to allow the program playing to be muted so that the MIC can be heard above the music. The MIC/TALKOVER (30) switch has three settings. When the MIC/TALKOVER (30) switch is in the left position, the MIC and TALKOVER are both off. When the MIC/TALKOVER (30) switch is in the center position the MIC is on, the MIC INDICATOR (31) will glow, but talkover is off. When the MIC/TALKOVER (30) switch is in the right position, the MIC and TALKOVER will be on and the volume of all sources except the MIC input are lowered by 16 dB. MIC LEVEL (33) controls the level of the MIC. The MIC EQ (32) control allows you to fully adjust the tone of the MIC.
9.CUE SECTION: By connecting a set of headphones to the HEADPHONE JACK (13), you can monitor either channel or both together. Move the CUE SWITCH (34) to the left to monitor CHANNEL 1. Move the CUE SWITCH (34) to the right to monitor CHANNEL 2. By rotating the CUE PGM PAN (35) control to the left you will be able to monitor the assigned cue signal. Rotating to the right will monitor the PGM (program) output. Use the CUE LEVEL (36) control to adjust the headphone volume without affecting the overall mix.
10.DISPLAY: DISPLAY (37) indicates the MASTER OUTPUT (3) left and right levels, as controlled by the MASTER (29) level.
