ENGLISH
In this manual we talk about "line inputs". This is a global name for inputs with a level between 750mV and
2V. This includes tuners, videos, CD-players, etc.
There are many ways to connect audio equipment to this mixer. Just keep the following remarks in mind:
Always connect cinch cables in the same way:
white or black cinch connector left channel
o
red cinch connector right channel
o
Some inputs on the back panel have the possibility to receive a USB, phono or line input. Make sure to
assign the associated switch correctly:
When you connect a CD-player, Cassette deck, MD-player, tuner, video recorder etc. don't
o
forget to put the associated switch to "LINE".
When you connect a turntable don't forget to put the associated switch to "PHONO".
o
When you connect a PC don't forget to put the associated switch to "USB".
o
Many Turntables have a GND-connection. It is preferable to connect this signal ground to the MIX6 USB.
Use the GND-connections, close to the signal input connectors.
The record input of an analog recording device can be connected to the record output of the MIX6 USB to
make analog recordings.
FUNCTIONS (FRONT)
1. 3-BAND TONE CONTROL : The frequency can be controlled. In the center position the tone control is
flat. (switched off)
2. MIC VOLUME: Used to adjust the level of the microphone.
3. MIC ON/OFF SWITCH: Used to switch the microphone on/off
4. PEAK LED: Facilitates proper setting of input gain levels. The LED lights up when the signal after the
Gain control (5) reaches 0dB. Warning: the LED should only light up from time to time. If it's on
continuously, you should turn down the gain level (5) to avoid distortion.
5. GAIN LEVEL: Adjusts the input level on each channel, range goes from zero to maximum. Use this
control to adjust the level at about 0dB (see PeakLED '4').
6. 3-BAND TONE CONTROL : The frequency can be controlled. In the center position the tone control is
flat. (switched off)
7. INPUT SOURCE SELECTOR: Used to select the correct input on each channel: phono, line or USB.
There are also additional input selectors on the back.
Hint: Line, Aux, CD, Tuner, etc... are different names for inputs with almost the same signal levels.
8. CHANNEL FADERS: Used to control the level of each channel. MIX6 USB uses high quality smooth
dual-rail 60mm DJ-faders for maximum reliability.
9. LED VU METER: Accurate level meter. Very important: If you want a nice and clean sound, please pay
attention the VU-meters. Most DJs use this important instrument as a "flashy light effect" . They try to
push the meter constantly to its maximum. Let's be clear: a good DJ wants a clean, undistorted sound.
Levels over 0dB mean "distortion" so please keep an eye on the meter!
10. AUX INPUT: can be used to connect an MP3 player, smartphone, etc. to channel 4
