1. Pro Mixer DX2000USB

1.1 Highly accurate main and PFL peak—
reading bargraph meters
The main output level is constantly monitored by a pair of highly accurate main
bargraph meters (38) . In addition, all channels have PFL (Pre-Fader-Listen) (13) .
This means that you can see (on a separate PFL bargraph meter (39) ) and hear
(on your headphones and/or monitors) the music you are about to play without
disturbing the mix—essential if you want to come in at the same level and
in time with the music currently playing. All professional DJ's strive to do this,
often overlapping two tracks, or slowly crossfading between them. (These and
other DJ mixing tricks will be explained elsewhere in this manual.)
1.2 How will you use your DX2000USB?
Your DX2000USB is a creative instrument. Learn to play it well. If possible,
experiment with it "off-line"—before you use it in earnest in a club or studio.
It offers you many creative music mixing possibilities, with its ultra DJ-friendly
control surface. In addition, many special features have been included to enhance
the flexibility and ease of operation of your mix. For example, the adjustable
TALK OVER feature can automatically and temporarily reduce the music level
while you are speaking. We have given particular attention to metering your
music with PFL offered on every channel. In addition, all channels have signal
present and clip LEDs constantly monitoring input levels. You will also see

virtually every switch on your DX2000USB has an associated status LED to let you
know when it is engaged. Just another way in which we try to make life easier for
you, the DJ.
It is true that not all the features of the DX2000USB are relevant to every
application. For example, the TRACK START (20) buttons buttons may be
extraneous to the needs of the vinyl DJ. Nonetheless, the superior quality of
all of the features of your DX2000USB means you will be well equipped for
any situation.
1.3 PSU (Power Supply Unit)
Please connect the IEC cable to the power socket (72) on the back panel of
your mixer.
1.4 Rack mounting the DX2000USB
Your DX2000USB is shipped with optional rack ears. If you want to make your
DX2000USB a desktop mixer, loosen the screws from the side panels and remove
the rack ears (note that there is a left and a right one).
1.5 Warranty
Please register your mixer on our website at behringer.com to become eligible for
our extended warranty. The serial number (71) can be found on the rear panel.
