GETTING STARTED
Before use, please observe the following guidelines:
CONNECTIONS: Before making any connections, make sure that the power on all your equipment is turned OFF. Connect the
audio cables for a typical system setup as shown on page 13. Connect the power cord to the mains power socket on the rear panel
of the mixer and plug it into a suitable AC outlet.
TURNING ON THE POWER: Make sure all connections have been made correctly and the volume controls on the 1601S/1601mixer
and the amplifier system are turned completely down. Turn ON the power at the wall. Turn ON the power to the connected CD/
analog players and amplifier system.
POWER ON INDICATION: When the 1601S/1601mixer is powered up the front panel input meter LEDs will light in sequence. If this
does not happen, check the mains supply is correct, correctly connected, and powered on.
Your Urei mixer is now ready for use.
MIC / LINE INPUT
This section of 1601S/1601mixer features controls and connectors for the DJ microphone. The circuitry is totally analog and is fed
directly to the master output bus (also analog). The associated RCA phono plugs on the rear conn. panel allow you to use this input
as a 3rd line-level input, ideal for introducing a further CD/tape player or other sound source such as MIDI synthesizer/sequencer.
COMBI -XLR CONNECTOR
This connector accepts the standard XLR plug fitted to BALANCED microphone cables. Before attempting to connect the microphone,
first ensure the [LEVEL] control is set to minimum and the [MIC] switch is set to the MIC position (down). Align the three pins on the
plug with those on the socket and then push home fully until the retaining latch clicks into place. To disconnect the microphone, first
press down the retaining tab labelled [PUSH] and then gently pull out the XLR microphone plug.
The centre area of this connector also accepts a standard 1/4” jack plug for connecting line-level devices. Only mono signals can be
routed through this section. Before attempting to connect the line-level device, first ensure the [LEVEL] control is set to minimum. If
you want to route a stereo pair signal use the RCA phono plugs on the rear conn. panel instead, and ensure the [MIC] switch is set
to the LINE position (up). Note that the stereo signal is mono summed inside the mixer.
Important Note: when the [MIC] switch is in the MIC position (down) the signal from the combi-xlr will not be routed to the
Booth Outputs if the [MIC DEFEAT] switch on the rearcon is pressed in. The [MIC DEFEAT] switch is accessed via a hole
located between the booth XLRs on the rearcon.
