GUIDED TOUR OF FEATURES AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS...

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

Study the Connections Diagram on page

14. 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 your mixer into AC power. Now you are ready

to switch it on.

We have divided this manual into various

functional blocks:

Input, Crossfader, DJ Mic, Master/Zone Output,

Equalizer, and the onboard options of Beatkeeper

or Sampler. 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 Cue pushbuttons

are used to route channel audio to the Monitor

Section. The channel faders do not control the

Cue 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. On

the DM1285 this button sends signal to the

onboard sampler.

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.

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.

6. The Replaceable Crossfader achieves clean

segues between the two selected input channels.

Off1 2 3 4 Off1 2 3 4

"Hard left" selects the channel set up of the Assign

Left 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.

NOTE: 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 its cable. Re-attach

the new crossfader and screw the mounting plate back

onto the unit - you’re back in business!
