DM1685
GUIDED TOUR OF FEATURES AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS...
If the DM1685 is your first mixer, please read this entire
manual before you begin operation.
If you are an experienced DJ simply replace your old
mixer. The DM1685 can be rack-mounted or used as a
free-standing unit (five 19" rack unit spaces).
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Study the Connections Diagram on page 13. First,
connect all stereo input sources. Next connect your
microphone(s) and monitor headphones. Make sure all
faders are at "zero" and the unit is off. Finally, connect
the stereo outputs to the power amplifier(s) and/or audio
sources. Plug the DM1685 into AC power. Now you
are ready to switch it on.
The DM1685 is divided into six functional blocks:
Input, Crossfader, DJ Mic, Master/Zone Output,
Equalizer, and Sampler. It is important to learn how
each of these work.
CHANNEL INPUTS/CONTROLS SECTION
1. Channels 1, 2, 3 & 4 Input Toggle Switches
select which source will be live to that channel based on
what you have connected to the rear panel input
section.
2. The Input Faders are low-noise, low-impedance,
high-quality, smooth Alps™ faders. These control
individual source levels in the mix.
3. Channel Cue Assign. The Cue pushbuttons are
used to route channel audio to the Monitor Section.
The channel faders do not control the Cue send
volume.
4. Effect Send (Channels 1-4). Depress these
buttons when you want the signal from any input
channel to be routed to the Sampler and the Send Out
Jacks on the rear panel. The channel faders do not
affect the signal levels which are routed to the send
output.
CROSSFADER SECTION
5. The Crossfader Assign knob to the left of the
crossfader lets you choose which input channel will be
heard when the crossfader is in the far left position.
6. The Replaceable Crossfader achieves clean
segues between the two selected input channels.

"Hard left" selects the channel set up of the Assign
Left knob. In this example it is Channel 1. "Hard right"
selects the channel set up on the Assign Right
knob. In this example it is Channel 4. With the
crossfader centered both assigned channels are live.
Use the crossfader for fast and seamless segues from
one selected channel to the other. To turn off the
crossfader simply turn both knobs all the way to the
left.
Note: The crossfader is user replaceable in case of
failure. Simply unscrew the two large screws which
hold it in place, lift it out and disconnect it’s cable. Re-
attach the new crossfader and screw the mounting
plate back onto the unit - you’re back in business!
7. The Crossfader Assign knob to the right of the
crossfader lets you choose which input channel will be
heard when the crossfader is in the far right position.
