American Audio® would like to thank for your purchase of this great product. For those of you that are
to impatient to read the entire user manual we have compiled these quick start instructions. We hope
that you will at least read through these instructions to familiarize yourself with the basic understand-
ing of the unit. The DX5RTM is part of American Audio’s continuing evolution in audio technology. This
unit has been built and designed with the typical DJ in mind, by DJ’s. We have attempted to provide
you with the most reliable product on the market by using only components made from quality prod-
ucts.
MASTER LEVEL (8) - Use this level control to set your volume output. Try never to send an output of
more than +4dB to your system. Signal at levels higher than this will start to distort and may cause
damage to your system and speakers. Remember that a distorted signal from you mixer will only be
multiplied throughout your system.
HEADPHONES (25) - To avoid sever hearing damage, always be sure the headphone level is set to
minimum before plugging them in. Never put the headphone on without making sure the headphone
level is turned down.
MICROPHONE 1 (1) - The main mic connector uses a 1/4” jack unbalanced connector on the rear
of the unit or XLR balanced connection on the face of the unit. Both microphone connection marks
as MIC 1 are controlled by the MIC 1 VOLUME knob. Always leave the mic level to it’s minimum level
when not in use.
BALANCED XLR OUTPUTS (27) - The Master Output includes a pair XLR Balanced JACKS as well
as a pair RCA UNBALANCED JACKS (19). The 3-pin XLR jacks send a high current balanced output
signal. These jacks should be used when you will be driving an amp or other audio equipment with a
balanced input, or whenever you will be running a signal line greater than 15 feet. Always, use these
jacks whenever possible.
FADER ASSIGN SWITCH (19) - This is a five position switch that assigns a channel to the CROSS-
FADER (18). When a channel is assigned to the left side of the CROSSFADER (18) that channels
output level is routed to and controlled by the CROSSFADER (18). Sliding the CROSSFADER (18) to
left position will send the volume output of the assigned channel to the MASTER VOLUME LEVEL (8),
siding the CROSSFADER (18) to right position will cut that channels volume to MASTER VOLUME
LEVEL (8). The reverse is true for the right Rotary Channel Gain assign switch. When the assign switch
is set to the “OFF” position the crossfader will have no function.
BOOTH LEVEL (BOOTH LEVEL VOLUME CONTROL) (22) - This rotary knob is used to control the
output volume to any source connect to the BOOTH OUTPUT JACKS (34) on the rear of the unit. Be
sure this volume control is always set to zero before turning the unit on and off.
SUBWOOFER OUTLEVEL - This knob is used to control a completely independent subwoofer output
level. The output signal is sent through the mono SUBWOOFER OUTPUT JACK (33) on the rear of the
unit.
