1. The PS-121x has 1 stereo output located on the rear panel:
- The MASTER RCA OUTPUT (2) connects the mixer to your
main amplifier using standard audio cables with RCA-type con-
nectors.
2. Headphones may be plugged into the front panel-mounted
HEADPHONE (5) ¼" jack.
3. Microphones may be plugged into the rear panel-mounted
MICROPHONE (3) ¼" jack.
4. The PS-121x has 2 PHONO and 2 LINE inputs (PH/LN) (7)
located on the rear panel.
The RCA input(s) on your left are for PH 2/Line 2 Plug the
RCA's from your playable medium into each input to be connect-
ed to their respective CHANNELS (CH). The PH INPUTS (7)
only accept turntables with a magnetic cartridge. The STEREO
LN INPUTS (7) only accept line level inputs such as a CD, DAT,
Mini Disc, etc and require the proper switch setting.
5. When using (a) turntable(s), you will need to ground the RCA
cable(s) by screwing in the grounding fork(s) to the GROUND-
ING SCREW (4) located in the rear panel of the PS-121x mixer.
Attach each PH ground line to the GROUND THUMB SCREW
(4). This is located directly above the REAR PANEL MICRO-
PHONE JACK (3).
N
OTE: WHEN USING TURNTABLES, NOT ATTACHING A GROUND MAY
CAUSE A SYSTEM "HUM."
1. Once all of your connections have been made in the rear
panel, turn on the mixer by plugging in the Power Cord (1).
2. CH 1: To bring this channel into program output (PGM), you
must first decide which line will be in use. Use the LN SWITCH
(6) to toggle from PH 1 to LN 1 on this channel. Once you've
selected the proper line, slowly raise the CH 1 SLIDE CON-
TROL (15) to a comfortable level. You can further modify the
sound output of this channel by adjusting the rotary GAIN (8),
HIGH (9) and LOW (10) controls located above the CH 1 SLIDE
CONTROL (15).
3. CH 2: To bring this channel into program output (PGM), you
must first decide which line will be in use. Use the LN SWITCH
(6) to toggle from PH 2 to LN 2 on this channel. Once you've
selected the proper line, slowly raise the CH 2 SLIDE CON-
TROL (15) to a comfortable level. You can further modify the
sound output of this channel by adjusting the rotary GAIN (8),
HIGH (9) and LOW (10) controls located above the CH 2 SLIDE
CONTROL (15)..
NOTE: FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE, BEGIN PROGRAM MIX WITH
ROTARY GAIN (8) CONTROLS SET TO MINIMUM (ROTATE IT COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE TO THE COUNTER CLOCKWISE POSITION). MAKE ALL
ADJUSTMENTS IN SOUND OUTPUT WITH THE USE OF YOUR CHANNEL
SLIDE CONTROLS AND MASTER (11) VOLUME ROTARY CONTROLS. THIS
WILL PREVENT SIGNAL OVERLOAD AND DECREASE DISTORTION. ONCE YOU
HAVE MODIFIED YOUR SOUND AND WOULD LIKE TO INCREASE THE OUTPUT OF
YOUR SOUND, THEN YOU MAY ADJUST THE ROTARY GAIN CONTROL IF
NEEDED.
4. CUE: By connecting a set of headphones to the HEAD-
PHONE (5) jack, you can monitor any or all channels.
