Mixer Controls And Functions - B-52 Instruction And User's Manual

MIXER CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS

1. MIc INPUT JAcK: Use to connect a DJ's microphone
with either XLR or 1/4" TRS Jack connector.
2. MIc ON/OFF/TALKOVER SWITcH: Use to switch
MIC1 on/off, or to activate TALKOVER. When switch
is in the TALKOVER position, the MIC1 is on and the
sound level for everything other than the MIC1will be
attenuated by 14dB.
3. MIc EQ cONTROL: Use to boost or cut the
frequency response of MIC1 by up to +/- 12dB.
Frequency response is flat when all three controls are at
the center position.
---- HI: Use to adjust treble.
---- MID: Use to adjust mid frequencies.
---- LOW: Use to adjust bass.
4. cONTROLS FOR MIc1:
---- VOLUME: Use to adjust the volume of MIC1.
---- Fx LOOP: FX LOOP on/off. Use to route MIC1 to
external effects processor connected to rear
panel. Button illuminates when MIC is routed
to external effects.
• TIP: If external effect processor is off or is not
connected on the rear panel and supplied u-shaped
jumpers are removed from the SEND/RETURN
connectors for external processors, MIC1
will mute when this knob is activated, as the signal
path is open. The Prodigy unit is shipped with
these jumpers in place. Make sure to keep them
and insert into the EXTERNAL EFFECTS SEND/
RETURN connectors if you are not using an
external processor.
5. HAMSTER: Use to reverse connection of the cross-
fader by switching to REVERSE. Switch to NORMAL to
return to normal connection.
6. cONTROL KNOBS FOR cH1 to cH4:
---- GAIN: Adjusts gain of the input signal. Turn to the
right to increase level or turn left to decrease level.
• NOTE: GAIN control does not reduce signal to
zero in FCCW position, it will reduce it by
30dB. You can kill the signal completely with
the slide channel's fader.
PreCision for your PAssion
• TIP: Make sure not to set gain too high, so the
inputs are not overloaded. If the inputs are
overloaded, the mixer will begin to distort. If that
happens, decrease the gain on the overloaded
channel.
• TIP: Different records are recorded with
different levels. Some recordings may produce
unusually high output. Make sure to observe the
output LEVEL METERS periodically when switching
to a new track, and adjust channels' gain
if necessary.
---- HIGH: Use to adjust treble. At the center position,
frequency response is flat. Turn to the right to increase
amount of treble on the output up to +12dB; turn to the
left to decrease amount of treble on the output up to
zero (kill).
---- MID: Use to adjust mid frequencies. At the center
position the frequency response is flat. Turn to the right
to increase the amount of mid frequencies on the output
up to +12dB. Turn to the left to decrease the amount of
mid frequencies on the output up to zero (kill).
---- LOW: Use to adjust bass. At the center position the
frequency response is flat. Turn to the right to increase
the amount of bass on the output up to +12dB. Turn to
the left to decrease the amount of bass on the output up
to zero (kill).
7. INPUT SELEcTOR Switches: These switches select
which input sources, either Prodigy's CD players
or external sources connected on the rear panel, are
routed to channels 1-4.
---- cH-1: Switches between CD1 and LINE1
---- cH-2: Switches between CD2 and LINE2
---- cH-3: Switches between PHONO1, LINE3 and MP3
---- cH-4: Switches between PHONO2, LINE4
and MIC2
8. MONO BUTTON: Use to select either MONO or
STEREO for master output.
9. MASTER BALANcE: Use to adjust the left-to-right
balance of the master output.
