Connecting A Microphone; Dj Console Rmx Features; Jog Wheels - Hercules DJ CONSOLE RMX User Manual

You can use the two Source buttons on your DJ Console Rmx (Source 1 for Deck A, Source 2
for Deck B) to control the audio input for the corresponding deck. By default, the input is set to
computer audio tracks: simply press the Source button to switch to the external audio source.
Press the button again to disable the external source and return to computer audio (please see
section 7.6 Source buttons).
You can use the Gain knobs on your DJ Console Rmx to adjust the volume for each deck.
To connect a CD player with an output in excess of +4dBu to the DJ Console Rmx inputs, you
must attenuate (i.e. reduce) the strength of the CD player's output signal using an attenuator such
as the Nano patch from SM Pro Audio.

6.2. Connecting a microphone

Your DJ Console Rmx features 2 microphone connectors: 1 mono ¼" jack plug on the top face,
and one on the front face. You can only use one microphone input at a time: if two microphones
are connected simultaneously, the microphone input on the unit's top face will take precedence
over the input on the front face.
You can use your microphone to talk over the music and communicate with your audience (mix
the microphone input with audio outputs 1-2, for example), or use your microphone to replace the
music on Deck A with your voice.
Press the Mic On/Off button on your DJ Console Rmx to toggle the microphone on or off. You
can use the volume knob beside it to adjust the input volume for your microphone.
The DJ Console Rmx features a talkover function for the microphone input, which automatically
reduces the level of the music that's playing to allow you to be heard when you're speaking. The
music level is restored once the microphone input is disabled.
Please see section 8.2 Using the DJ Console Rmx control panel for more information on adjusting
the talkover attenuation function and using your microphone.

7. DJ CONSOLE RMX FEATURES

7.1. Jog wheels

The jog wheels on your DJ Console Rmx emulate vinyl turntables: turning a jog wheel lets you
scratch or move the cursor backward or forward within music tracks, allowing you to select the
cue point where playback will start for the audience.
The jog wheels feature adjustable resistance: if you wish, you can adjust the screws located on
the underside of the device under each jog wheel to increase or decrease its resistance,
according to your preference. You can also adjust their sensitivity using the control panel: you
can either keep the default sensitivity, or divide it by a factor of 2 or 4 to make them less sensitive.
The jog wheels can also be disabled via the control panel.
You can use the Scratch button to change the function of the jog wheels (scratch mode is
enabled by default): press the button to switch to the seek function, allowing you to move
