The output level for any device connected to these input jacks will be controlled by Fader Channel 1. 23. GND (GrOuND terMiNaL) - This connection is used to ground the excess magnetic flux of phono turntables. Connect your turntable ground lead to the ground terminal. This will reduce the humming and popping noises associated with magnetic phono cartridges. 24. cHaNNeL 2: PHONO 2 Jacks - Connect turntables equipped with MM pickup cartridge to PHONO inputs (All DJ turntable use MM pick-up cartridges). The red colored RCA jack represents the right channel input and the white represents the left channel input. The output level for any device connected to these input jacks will be controlled by Fader Channel 2. 25. cHaNNeL 2: LiNe 2 rca iNPut Jacks - These Jacks are used for line level inputs. Connect CD players such as the American Audio® CDI-100 Mp3 or tape decks to LINE inputs. Line level musical instruments with stereo outputs such as Rhythm Machines or Samplers should also be connected to LINE inputs. Turntables should only be connected to “Phono” inputs. The red colored RCA jack repre- sents the right channel input and the white represents the left channel input. The output level for any device connected to these input jacks will be controlled by Fader Channel 2. 26. rec Out - This is a low current unbalanced output source designed for various tape and CD recorders. The Record Out (REC OUT) level is dictated by the Channel Fader le Vel (8), it is not influenced by the Master Volu Me Control (2). 27. rca Master OutPuts - The Master Output includes a pair of RCA Unbalanced Jacks to form a stereo output. The left channel is clearly marker with “L” and is color coded white, the right channel output is marked “R” and is color coded red. The RCA jacks send a low current unbalanced output signal to your amplifier or tuner. When connecting to a tuner be sure to use the “AUX” inputs. 28. ac vOL taGe iNPut - This connector is used to supply main power to the unit via the included detachable power supply. Only use the supplied power adaptor to avoid damaging the unit. The unit receives an input power supply of AC 9v/1000mA. 29. Mai N POWer sWitc H - This is the main power ON/OFF button. Before main power is applied, be sure you have made all connections to the mixer. Also be sure your amplifier(s) is tuned off. Remem- ber to avoid damaging pops, mixer on first and turned off last.

due to fog residue, smoke, and dust, cleaning the mixer should be carried out periodically to optimize light output. 1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the outside casing. 2. Use a cleaner specially designed for electronics to spray in and around the knobs and switch. This will reduce small particle built up that can effect the proper operation of the mixer. 3. Cleaning should be carried out every 30-60 days. 4. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the mixer in. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the mixer operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). the crossfader is “hot Changeable” which means it may be replaced at any time, even when power is applied. only replace with american audio Feather Fader Plus. replacing with any other model fader may seriously damage your mixer. replacing the crossfader: 1. Using a number two Phillips screw driver, unscrew the each of the stainless steel retaining screws that hold the crossfader in place. 2. Gently remove the crossfader from its seated position. You may need to wiggle the crossfader slightly to unseat it. 3. After removing the crossfader, disconnect the ribbon cable that attaches the crossfader to the PC board. Grasp the crossfader by its base and pull the ribbon cable by its connector not the \ actual cables. The connector is desired to only fit one way, so don’t worry about the connectors orientation. 4. Connect the new crossfader to the ribbon cable. 5. Reassemble in reverse order.
