This is a typical setup you’ll find in many nightclubs: 2 turntables, 2
CD players, plus a microphone for the DJ. Here’s how you would set
up your equipment with the RM-22:
1. Be sure all equipment is powered “OFF” and all of the
RM-22’s Channel faders and Level knobs are at minimum
volume.
2. Connect the turntables to the Phono inputs of Channels 1
and 2. Be sure the rear-panel toggle switch for Channel 2 is set to
“PH2” or you won’t hear anything. To avoid hum, don’t forget to
connect the ground wires to the grounding terminals.
3. Connect the CD players to the Line 4 and 5 inputs of Channels 3
and 4.
4. Depending on the type of cable you have, connect your
microphone to the Mic 1 or Mic 2 input.
5. Connect the Master Output jacks to the club’s power amp, EQ or
crossover.Then connect your monitor amp to the Booth output. If
you have a separate amp for a particular area of the club, connect
this amp to the Zone outputs.
6. Set the Input Selectors on the front panel to the appropriate inputs
for each channel.
7. Power everything up and carefully adjust the input levels using the
Input Gain knobs and Mic Level knob.
8. If you want to use the crossfader, set Channels 1 and 3 to “A” and
Channels 2 and 4 to “B”. Otherwise, set them all to “Bypass”.
9. If your CD players support Fader Start, connect the mini-cables
and set the Fader Start switches to “ON”.
10. Slowly raise the Channel faders, Master fader, Booth level, Zone
level and Mic level as appropriate and start mixing!
