nal carton and packaging. This will reduce the risk of damage
during transit.

CONNECTIONS:
1. Ensure that the POWER SWITCH (1) is in the OFF position
prior to making any connections. This unit comes with a power
cord. Plug into the rear panel POWER CORD (2) jack before
plugging it into a proper power source.
2. The PS-424x has 2 stereo outputs located on the rear panel:
- The MASTER RCA OUTPUT (3) connects the mixer to your
main amplifier using standard audio cables with RCA-type con-
nectors.

.
The REC (4) output jacks can be used to connect the mixer to
the record input of your recording unit, thus enabling you to
record your mix with RCA cables.
4. Headphones may be plugged into the front panel-mounted
HEADPHONE (5) ¼" jack.
5. Microphones may be plugged into the rear panel-mounted
MICROPHONE (6) ¼" jack.
6. The PS-424x has 2 CONVERTIBLE PHONO/LINE (PH/LN)
RCA INPUTS (7) located on the rear panel on either side of the
RCA INPUTS. Facing the rear panel, the convertible RCA input
on your right is for PH 1/LN 1 (7). The convertible RCA input on
your left is for PH 3/ LN 5 (7). Using the PH/LN CONVERTERS
(8), located just below each input, you may convert the PH to LN
and vice versa. Plug the RCA's from your playable medium into
each input to be connected to their respective CHANNELS
(CH). When the PH/LN CONVERTERS (8) are set to Phono,
the CONVERTIBLE PHONO/LINE (PH/LN) RCA INPUTS (7)
only accept turntables with a magnetic cartridge. The STEREO
LN INPUTS (7) only accept line level inputs such as a CD, DAT,
Mini Disc, etc and require the proper switch setting.
7. When using (a) turntable(s), you will need to ground the RCA
cable(s) by screwing in the grounding fork(s) to the GROUND-
ING SCREW (9) located in the rear panel of the PS-424x mixer.
Attach each PH ground line to the GROUND THUMB SCREW
(9). This is located directly above the REAR PANEL MICRO-
PHONE JACK (6).
NOTE: WHEN USING TURNTABLES, NOT ATTACHING A GROUND MAY
CAUSE A SYSTEM "HUM."
1. Once all of your connections have been made in the rear
panel, turn on the mixer by pressing the POWER SWITCH (1).
2. CH 1: To bring this channel into program output (PGM), you
must first decide which line will be in use. Use the LN SWITCH
(10) to toggle from PH 1/LN 1 to LN 2 on this channel. Once
you've selected the proper line, slowly raise the CH 1 SLIDE
CONTROL (11) to a comfortable level. You can further modify
the sound output of this channel by adjusting the rotary GAIN
(12), HIGH (13), MID (14), LOW (15) controls located above the
CH 1 SLIDE CONTROL (11).
3. CH 2: To bring this channel into PGM, you must first decide
which line will be in use. Use the LN SWITCH (10) to toggle from
PH 2/LN 3 to LN 4 on this channel. Once you've selected the
proper line, slowly raise the CH 2 SLIDE CONTROL (11) to a
comfortable level. You can further modify the sound output of
this channel by adjusting the rotary GAIN (12), HIGH (13), MID
(14), LOW (15) controls located above the CH 2 SLIDE CON-
TROL (11).
NOTE: FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE, BEGIN PROGRAM MIX WITH
ROTARY GAIN (12) CONTROLS SET TO MINIMUM (ROTATE IT COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE TO THE COUNTER CLOCKWISE POSITION). MAKE ALL
ADJUSTMENTS IN SOUND OUTPUT WITH THE USE OF YOUR CHANNEL
SLIDE CONTROLS AND MASTER (21) VOLUME ROTARY CONTROLS. THIS
WILL PREVENT SIGNAL OVERLOAD AND DECREASE DISTORTION. ONCE YOU
HAVE MODIFIED YOUR SOUND AND WOULD LIKE TO INCREASE THE OUTPUT OF
YOUR SOUND, THEN YOU MAY ADJUST THE ROTARY GAIN CONTROL IF
NEEDED.
5. CUE: By connecting a set of headphones to the HEAD-
PHONE (5) jack, you can monitor any or all channels.
