Cautions
1. All operating instructions should be read before using this equipment.
2. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not open the unit. There are
NO USER REPLACEABLE PARTS INSIDE. Please refer servicing to
a qualified service technician.
In the U.S.A., if you have any problems with this unit,
call 1-732-969-9000 for customer service. Do not return
equipment to your dealer.
3. Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or to a heat source such as
a radiator or stove.
4. This unit should be cleaned only with a damp cloth. Avoid solvents or
other cleaning detergents.
5. When moving this equipment, it should be placed in its original carton
and packaging. This will reduce the risk of damage during transit.
6. DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
7. DO NOT USE ANY SPRAY CLEANER OR LUBRICANT ON ANY
CONTROLS OR SWITCHES.
Connections
1. Before plugging in the power cord, make sure that the VOLTAGE
SELECTOR (33) switch is set to the correct voltage.
NOTE: This product is double insulated and not intended to
be grounded.
2. Make sure that the POWER (1) switch is in the off position. The
POWER LED (2) will be off.
3. The KL-10 PRO is supplied with 3 sets of output jacks. The OUTPUT
AMP (34) jacks are used to connect to your main amplifier. The
OUTPUT REC (36) jacks can be used to connect the mixer to the
record input of your recorder enabling you to record your mix. The
OUTPUT BOOTH (35) jacks allow you to hook up an additional
amplifier.
4. The DJ MIC (3) input (found on the front panel) accepts a 1/4" or XLR
connector and balanced and unbalanced microphones.
5. On the rear panel are 2 stereo PHONO/LINE (40, 42) inputs and 2
stereo LINE (39, 41) inputs. The PHONO/LINE SWITCHES (43, 44)
enable you to set the (40, 42) inputs to Phono or Line. The phono
inputs will accept only turntables with a magnetic cartridge. A
GROUND SCREW (45) for you to ground your turntables is located
on the rear panel. The stereo line inputs will accept any line level
input such as a CD player, a cassette player, etc.
6. Headphones can be plugged into the front panel mounted
HEADPHONE (9) jack.
7. There are LOOP INPUTS (37) and LOOP OUTPUTS (38) located on
the rear panel. If you are using an outboard signal enhancer, you can
use the LOOP OUTPUTS (38) to send the signal to the device and
the LOOP INPUTS (37) to bring the signal back in to the mixer. The
unit comes with jumpers to be used with the loop inputs and outputs.
Keep the jumpers in the unit if you are not using the loop to prevent
interruptions in your music program by the accidental touching of the
loop button.
Using the Ground Lift Switch
Depending on your system configuration, sometimes applying the ground
will create a quieter signal path. Sometimes lifting the ground can
eliminate ground loops and hum to create a quieter signal path.
1. With the mixer on, listen to the system in idle mode (no signal
present) with the ground applied (the GROUND LIFT SWITCH (46) in
the bottom position).
2. Then turn the power off before moving the GROUND LIFT
SWITCH (46). Lift the ground by moving the GROUND LIFT SWITCH
to the top position, turn the power back on and listen to determine
which position will provide a signal devoid of background noise and
hum. Keep the GROUND LIFT SWITCH in the ground position if the
noise level remains the same in either position.
CAUTION: DO NOT TERMINATE THE AC GROUND ON THE POWER
MIXER IN ANY WAY. TERMINATION OF THE AC GROUND CAN BE
HAZARDOUS.
Operation
1. POWER ON: Once you have made all the equipment connections to
your mixer, press the POWER SWITCH (1). The power will turn on
and the POWER LED (2) will glow RED.
2. CHANNEL I: The GAIN (10), BALANCE (11), HIGH (18), MID (17),
and LOW (16) controls allow you to fully adjust the selected source.
Switch # (12) allows you to select either the PHONO 1/LINE 1 (42) or
the LINE 2 (41) input. The CHANNEL SLIDE (14) controls the output
level of this channel.
3. CHANNEL II: The GAIN (10), BALANCE (11), HIGH (18), MID (17),
and LOW (16) controls allow you to fully adjust the selected source.
Switch # (13) allows you to select either the PHONO 2/LINE 3 (40) or
the LINE 4 (39) input. The CHANNEL SLIDE (15) controls the output
level of this channel.
4. CROSSFADER SECTION: The CROSSFADER (19) allows the
mixing of one source into another. The left side of the CROSSFADER
(19) is channel I and the right side is channel II. The CROSSFADER
(19) in your unit is removable and if the need arises can be easily
replaced. Crossfader units are available in three varieties. Part # RF-
45 (which is identical to the crossfader supplied with the mixer) has a
45 mm travel from side to side. Part # RF-30 is available with a 30
mm travel distance. Also available is the PSF-45 with a special curve
designed for scratch mixing. Just purchase one of these crossfader
units from your Gemini dealer and follow these instructions:
