41. INPUT SOURCE SELECTOR: Used to select the correct input on each channel:
Phono, line, aux or mic. On some channels there are additional input selectors on
the back, near the input connectors!
Hint: Line, Aux, CD, Tuner, etc... are different names for inputs with almost the same signallevels.
42. GAIN LEVEL: Adjusts the input level on each channel, range goes from zero to
maximum. Use this control to adjust the level on the VU-meter at about 0dB.
CONNECTIONS
When connecting or changing connections, always turn off the units before.
This connection diagram is just an example of what is possible. Many other connections
are possible. Just keep the following remarks in mind:
Always connect cinch cables in the same way:
o white or black cinch connector left channel
o red cinch connector right channel

ENGLISH
When you connect a CD-player, Cassette deck, MD-player, tuner, video recorder etc. to
one of the inputs, don't forget to put the source selector of that channel to "LINE" or
"AUX".
When connecting a microphone to channel 4, switch the source selector to "MIC".
When you connect a turntable to one of the inputs, don't forget to put the source
selector of that channel to "PHONO". (attention: newer turntables may have a line
output, read the user manual of your turntable to be sure)
Many Turntables have a GND-connection. It is preferable to connect this signal ground
to the SMX-1. 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 SMX-1 to make analog recordings.
If you have a digital recorder, connect it to the coaxial digital output of the mixer. You
can obtain outstanding digital recordings.
To ensure the best possible sound quality, short-circuit pins are installed on all unused
phono inputs. When connecting a turntable to the SMX-1, first remove the short-circuit
pins of the input you want to use. Keep these short-circuit pins in a safe place for
eventual later use.
CHANGING THE FADERS
One of the big advantages of this mixer is the possibility to change the channel faders,
even while the mixer is in use.
This is what you must do to change a channel fader:
Remove the fader knobs from the faders.
Remove the 4 screws that hold the small
front panel around the faders.
Remove the 3 screws of the fader you want
to change.
Gently remove the fader from its position.
Put the new fader gently in place. Be sure
to fit the contacts into the connector on the
mixer PCB-board.
Put the 3 screws from the fader back in
place
Put the small front plate back in place with
the 4 screws.
Done!
This is what you must do to change the cross fader:
Remove the fader knob from the cross fader.
Remove the 2 screws that keep the cross fader in place.
Gently remove the fader and the cover plate from their position.
Unplug the cross fader from the cable (unplug the cable by pulling the connector, NOT
the cable!)
Press the new cross fader on the cable.
Put the cross fader back in place with the small cover plate and the 2 screws.
Done!
