Outputting sound

Check that this unit is properly connected to the DJ player, etc., before outputting sound. For instructions on connections, see Connecting the input/output terminals on page 6.

Set the volume of the powered speakers connected to the [MASTER 1] and [MASTER 2] terminals to a suitable level. Note that sound will be output at a high volume if the volume is set too high.

For instructions on monitoring the sound, see Monitoring the sound over headphones (headphones section) on page 12.

To output the sound of channel 1 [CH-1] 1

To output the sound of channel 2 ([CH-2]) 2, perform the procedure below replacing [CH-1] with [CH-2].

1Switch the [CH-1] 1 [CD, PHONO/LINE] input selector switch 9.

Select the input source for [CH-1] from among the devices connected to this unit.

[CD]: Selects the DJ player connected to the [CD] terminals.

[PHONO/LINE]: Selects the device connected to the [PHONO/LINE] terminals.

Adjusts the audio level input to the [CH-1] terminal.

The [CH-1] channel level indicator D lights when audio signals are being properly input to [CH-1].

Adjust the [TRIM] control so that the orange indicator lights where the track’s volume is highest (at the climax, etc.)

Be careful that the red indicator does not light, or the sound could be distorted.

3 Move the [CH-1] 1 channel fader E away from you.

The level of the sound output from the [CH-1] terminals is adjusted.

4Switch [THRU, ,] (the crossfader curve selector switch) J.

This switches the crossfader’s curve characteristics. For details, see Selecting the crossfader’s curve characteristics (crossfader section) on page 11.

Mixing using the faders

Prepare the unit in advance so that the sound of [CH-1] 1 is being output from the speakers. For instructions on preparation, see Outputting sound on page 10.
