3. Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or a heat source such
as a radiator or stove.
4. This unit should be cleaned only with a damp cloth. Avoid sol-
vents or other cleaning detergents.
5. When moving this equipment it should be placed in its origi-
nal carton and packaging. This will reduce the risk of damage
during transit.
6. DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
7. DO NOT USE SPRAY CLEANERS OR LUBRICANTS ON
CONTROLS, SURFACES OR SWITCHES.
CONNECTIONS:
1. Before plugging this unit into any outlet, make sure that the
VOLTAGE SELECTION SWITCH (1) is set to the proper volt-
age. To change the selection, unscrew the hard plastic protec-
tive top with a Phillips head screw driver. Then use a flat head
screw driver to move the switch to the proper selection
(115V/230V).
2. Ensure that the POWER (4) switch 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.
NOTE: LOCATED BY THE POWER CORD (2) JACK IS A 250V FUSE (3) TO
PROTECT AGAINST ELECTRICAL SURGES. TO REPLACE THE FUSE,
PLACE A FLAT HEAD SCREWDRIVER INTO THE GROOVE LOCATED INSIDE
THE POWER CORD JACK (2) AND POP THE FUSE OUT. REPLACE THE FUSE
WITH ONLY A 250V FUSE.
3. The PS-02 has four outputs located on the rear panel:
- The MASTER RCA OUTPUT (5) connects the mixer to your
main amplifier using standard audio cables with RCA-type con-

nectors.
- The BALANCED MASTER OUTPUT (8) connects the mixer
to your main amplifier using standard cables with 1/4" connec-
tors. We recommend using balanced cables if the distance to
your amp is 10 feet or more.
- The ZONE (7) output jacks allow the connection of an addi-
tional amplifier with RCA cables.
- The REC (6) 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
HEADPHONES (22) ¼" jack.
5. Microphones may be plugged into the front panel-mounted
MICROPHONE (21) ¼" jack.
6. The PS-02 has 3 CONVERTIBLE PHONO/LINE (PH/LN)
RCA INPUTS (10, 14, 18) 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 PH1/LN1 (18). The convertible
RCA input in the middle is for PH2/LN3 (14). The convertible
RCA input on your left is for PH3/LN5 (10). Using the PH/LN
CONVERTERS (11, 15, 19), 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). The PH INPUTS (10, 14, 18) only
accept turntables with a magnetic cartridge. The STEREO LN
INPUTS (9, 10, 13, 14, 17, 18) only accept line level inputs such
as a CD, DAT, Mini Disc, etc and require the proper switch set-
tingand require the LN switch setting as indicated in the PH/LN
CONVERTER SWITCHES (11, 15, 19).
7. When using (a) turntable(s), you will need to ground the RCA
cable(s) by screwing in the grounding fork(s) to the TRIPLE
GROUNDING SCREWS (12 ,16, 20) located in the rear panel of
the PS-02 mixer. Attach each PH ground lines to one of the
TRIPLE GROUND THUMB SCREWS (12, 16, 20). These are to
the right of each PH/LN CONVERTER (11, 15, 19).
NOTE: WHEN USING TURNTABLES, NOT ATTACHING A GROUND MAY
CAUSE A SYSTEM "HUM."
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Once all of your connections have been made in the rear
panel, turn on the mixer by pressing the POWER SWITCH (4).
2. CH1: To bring this channel into program output (PGM), you
must first decide which line will be in use. Use the LN SWITCH
(23) to toggle from PH1/LN1 (18) to LN2 (17) on this channel.
Once you've selected the proper line, slowly raise the CH1
SLIDE CONTROL (29) to a comfortable level. You can further
modify the sound output of this channel by adjusting the rotary
GAIN (23), HIGH (25), MID (27), LOW (26) controls located to
the left of the CH1 SLIDE CONTROL (29).
3. CH2: To bring this channel into PGM, you must first decide
which line will be in use. Use the LN SWITCH (30) to toggle from
PH2/LN3 (14) to LN4 (13) on this channel. Once you've select-
ed the proper line, slowly raise the CH2 SLIDE CONTROL (36)
to a comfortable level. You can further modify the sound output
of this channel by adjusting the rotary GAIN (31), HIGH (32),
MID (34), LOW (33) controls located to the left of the CH2
SLIDE CONTROL (36).
4. CH3: To bring this channel in to PGM, you must first decide
which line will be in use. Use the LN SWITCH (37) to toggle from
PH3/LN5 (10) to LN6 (9) on this channel. Slowly raise the CH3
SLIDE CONTROL (43) to a comfortable level, once you've
selected the proper line. You can further modify the sound out-
put of this channel by adjusting the rotary GAIN (38), HIGH (39),
MID (41), LOW (40) controls located to the left of the CH3
SLIDE CONTROL (43).
NOTE: FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE, BEGIN PROGRAM MIX WITH
ROTARY GAIN (24, 31, 38) CONTROLS SET TO MINIMUM (ROTATE IT TO THE
COUNTER CLOCKWISE POSITION). MAKE ALL ADJUSTMENTS IN SOUND
OUTPUT WITH THE USE OF YOUR CHANNEL SLIDE CONTROLS (29, 36, 43),
ZONE (51), BALANCE (52), AND MASTER VOLUME (47) CONTROLS. THIS
