Gemini EX-26 Musical Instrument User Manual


 
Congratulations on purchasing the Gemini EX-26 mixer!
This state of the art mixer is backed by a three-year
warranty, excluding crossfader and channel slides. We
know you’re anxious to hook everything up and start mixing
beats and cranking up the volume on those hot dance
tracks, but we suggest reading this instruction manual first
as there are really cool features on this mixer that we
wouldn’t want you to miss!
The EX-26 Mixer features a crossfader which controls a
super-quiet photo coupler to give you smooth operation and
the cleanest possible sound, along with a "hamster" switch
that is easily accessible on the front of the mixer. This
“hamster” switch reverses the direction of the main
crossfader. This mixer also features individual “hamster”
switches for the separate channel input faders as well.
For additional information, refer to the diagrams on pages 1
& 2 for crossfader adjustment and channel slide curve.

1. Make sure that the
POWER
(1)
switch is in the “OFF”
position. This unit comes supplied with a 15 volt AC
adaptor. Plug the adaptor into the rear panel power jack.
Then plug the adaptor into your power strip or outlet.
2. The EX-26 mixer is supplied with 3 sets of output jacks.
The
BALANCED MASTER OUTPUT
(2)
jacks are used to
connect to your main amplifier using standard cables with
1/4” connectors. We recommend using the balanced amp
outputs if the cables to your amp are 25 feet or more.
BALANCED MASTER OUTPUTS
have three separate
conductors, two of which are signal (positive and negative)
and one shield (ground). The balanced line uses a tip-ring-
sleeve connection. Tip = hot or positive (+), ring = cold or
negative (-), and sleeve = shield/ground.
The
MASTER OUTPUT
(3)
jacks are unbalanced and are
also used to connect to your main am plifier. The
REC
OUTPUT
(4)
jacks can be used to connect the mixer to the
record input of your recorder enabling you to record your
mix.
