    Ins tallation The D-MIX1000 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.

  • Page 12: Precautions And Safety Instructions

    Prec autions and S afety Ins truc tions 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.
  • Page 13 S ig nal L evels 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.

    C onnec tions Wiring conventions The D-MIX1000 uses various different types of audio connector: 3-pin XLR , " 3-pole jacks and RCA phono connectors. This section describes how to connect external equipment to the console. Correctly-made cables of the proper type will ensure peak performance from your mixer.
  • Page 16 C onnec tions Input 1 Stereo Inputs The Input 1 sockets accept phono jacks. The Inputs are UNBALANCED. Input 1 may be used for tape machines, CDs or turntables. If they are used for turntables Signal Gnd/Screen then the inbuilt RIAA input filters must be selected. This is done by setting the module jumpers J1 and J2 to position A.
  • Page 17 The left and right outputs are on 3-pole XLR sockets, wired as shown on the left. They are balanced outputs, allowing long cable runs to balanced amplifiers and other equipment. (a) Balanced Connection From D-Mix 1000 To External Device Signal + Screen Signal - 1.

  • Page 19: Setting Up

    S etting Up You will probably use your D-Mix1000 with a wide range of different types of sound source, and these will be at varying signal levels. It is important to set the SENS control correctly to give the best performance. If the input level is too high the signal will distort as it overloads the channel and causes clipping.

    R emoving A nd R eplac ing Modules Removing Modules Each Input Module is secured to the D-Mix1000 frame by two screws, the Master module is secured by four screws. Remove the screws using a cross-head screw driver. Turn the console on to its underside, so it is face down. Here the connectors can be located.

    R emoving A nd R eplac ing The C ros s F ader With a cross-head screw driver, remove the two Cross Fader fixing screws. These are labelled numbers 1 and 2 on the diagram. Gently lift out the fader, being careful not to apply too much force on the wire loom connecting the Cross Fader to the console.

  • Page 22: Jumpers

    J umpers Several functions on the D-Mix1000 may be altered by internal adjustment of jumpers on the PCBs. Mic/Line Input Module Jumper Options (SC3451) Fit to disable +48V phantom power to the Mic input XLR. (Default) Fit to enable +48V phantom power to the Mic input XLR. Fit in position A to enable Voice-Over.

    Mic /L ine Input Module Input Stage Two inputs are provided to the module, one microphone level input on an XLR connector, and one line level on a 1/4" stereo jack. The MIC input has +48V Phantom Power available for condenser microphones which may be activated by setting an internal jumper on the circuit board.

    The PEAK LED warns the DJ of excessive signal level in the channel before distortion occurs. The signal is sampled just after the EQ section, and illumination of the LED will indicate that the input sensitivity is set too high, or that the EQ settings are too extreme.

    S tereo Input Module Input Stage Two switched stereo inputs are provided to the module, one on 1/4" stereo jacks and one on RCA phono plugs. The inputs would typically be used for CD players, DAT machines or VTRs, and Line 1 input may also be reconfigured by changing internal jumpers to provide RIAA equalisation for turntables.
  • Page 31 Channel Output The channel signal may be assigned directly to the main L/R mix, or may be switched to either the A or B side of the Crossfader which enables smooth transitions between selected sources. The routing switches are interlocking. The output signal level from the channel is set by the long-travel FADER.
