Installation The D-MIX500 is designed for reliability and high performance, and is built to the highest standards. Whilst great care has been taken to ensure that installations are made as troublefree as possible, care taken at this stage, followed by correct setting up will be rewarded by a long life and reliable operation. Wiring Considerations (A) For optimum performance it is essential for the earthing system to be clean and noisefree, as all signals are referenced to this earth. A central

Precautions and Safety Instructions General Precautions Avoid storing or using the mixing console in conditions of excessive heat or cold,or in positions where it is likely to be subject to vibration, dust or moisture. Do not use any liquids to clean the fascia of the unit: a soft dry brush is ideal. Solvents may cause damage to paint or plastic parts. Avoid using the console close to strong sources of electromagnetic radiation (e.g video monitors, high power electric cabling): this may cause de

Signal Levels It is important to supply the correct input levels to the console, otherwise signal to noise ratio or distortion performance may be degraded; and in extreme cases, damage to the internal circuitry may result. Likewise, on all balanced inputs avoid sources with large common-mode DC, AC or RF voltages, as these will reduce the available signal range on the inputs. Note that 0dBu=0.775V RMS. The microphone inputs are designed for use with balanced low impedance (150 or 200 ohms) micro

Connecting The Inputs - Examples Example 1 In this example, 2 CD players are connected: one each to channels 1 and 7. There is also a turntable connected to channel 5. The DJ’s mic would normally be plugged into mic 1 (channel 3) via the front panel, and is therefore not shown in this diagram; an additional mic shown is connected to mic 2 (channel 4). This may be used by, for example the MC. Finally there is an Effects unit and a limiter/compressor connected to the FX insert point: these would b

Connecting The Outputs - An Example In the example below, a 2-channel graphic equaliser is connected to the main outputs’ insert points. The main outputs are driving power amps, with speakers on the main dance floor. A secondary dance floor is served by power amps and speakers which are driven by the stereo 2 outputs. A bar or foyer area may have a mono amp and speaker which is, in the example shown, fed from the mono 1 output. D-MIX500 Installation 2.7

Connecting the DJ System Outputs - An Example In the example below, the DJ booth amps and speakers are shown fed from the Booth outputs. There is also a tape recorder to record the console’s output, this is connected to the record sockets. Finally, a lighting controller is fed from the lights output. 2.8 D-MIX500 Installation
