+ Never patch line level devices into your highly sensitive phono inputs. Phono cartridge output
is measured in millivolts. Line level signals are of the order of magnitude of a volt. With line
levels you are looking at a signal up to 100 times more powerful than the phono pre-amplifier
is designed to handle!
, If for some reason your turntable has a built-in RIAA pre-amp, you should patch it into a line
level input.
3.2 Input gain
When you select PHONO or LINE your DX100 input channels gain structure is automatically switched to
exactly match the output from a typical phono cartridge (turntable) or line level device (CD/cassette/DAT player
etc.). If your music source has an output level or volume control you can set this level exactly, using the
channel PFL button to send the input signal to the main meters. Pre-Fader Listen is the professional way
to check input levels. A control LED lights when the PFL function is enabled.
+ Normally you will want to PFL only one channel at a time.
3.3 Output level
Channel output level is controlled by a precision stereo 60 mm fader .
, The faders used are ultra-high quality true-log faders made by Panasonic. These give ultra-
smooth operation even at low levels, on a par with those used in the most expensive studio
consoles.
4. DJ MIC CHANNEL
Plug a dynamic microphone into the jack DJ MIC input on the front panel left.
, The mic pre-amp is of the same quality as our award-winning EURODESK range. This gives an
incredibly warm, clear and noiseless performance. Mic input is via a balanced jack connector.
(Balanced operation gives best noise performance.)
There is no PFL switch for the DJ MIC - simply stop the music and set DJ MIC level (top left, top panel)
while observing the high-precision bargraph meters. A latching switch MIC ON activates the mic channel,
while the PEAK LED immediately to the right lets you know if DJ MIC level is set too high.
5. OUTPUT SECTION
5.1 Cross fader
Channels 1 and 2 go to opposing ends of the modestly-legended ULTRA-HIGH QUALITY FADER . When
set fully to the left, only channel 1 is heard in the mix, and vice versa. We know how much you will rely on this
cross fader for mixing. For this reason we have ensured that it is incredibly durable and smooth-acting.
, The cross fader is of a extremely high quality. Its Panasonic monorail design means that you
can expect a massive 200,000 smooth operations before wear & tear even becomes a factor.
5.2 Transforming with punch
Transforming is a DJ term used to describe the inserting of a piece of music rhythmically into another piece.
When the cross fader is to one side of the middle pushing the punch button on the opposite side will bring up
