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.
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 (30) switch is set to the correct voltage.
2. Make sure that the POWER (1) switch is in the off position. The
POWER LED (2) will be off.
3. The PS-626 PRO2 is supplied with 3 sets of output jacks. The
OUTPUT AMP (38) jacks are used to connect to your main amplifier.
The OUTPUT REC (40) jacks can be used to connect the mixer to
the record input of your recorder enabling you to record your mix.
The OUTPUT BOOTH (39) jacks allow you to hook up an additional
amplifier.
4. The DJ MIC (3) input (found on the front panel) accepts a 1/4"
connector and accepts only unbalanced microphones.
5. On the rear panel are 2 stereo PHONO (32, 34) inputs, 2 stereo
LINE (31, 33) inputs and 1 stereo PHONO/LINE (36) input. The
PHONO/LINE (35) switch enables you to set the (36) input to Phono
or Line. The phono inputs will accept only turntables with a magnetic
cartridge. A GROUND (37) screw 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 (4) jack.
7. The PS-626 PRO2 comes with a front panel BNC LIGHT (5) jack.
This jack is for use with a gooseneck light like the Gemini GNL-700.
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 (41)
in the left position).
2. Then turn the power off before moving the GROUND LIFT
SWITCH (41). Lift the ground by moving the GROUND LIFT SWITCH
to the right, 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 1: The GAIN (6), HIGH (7), MID (8), and LOW (9),
controls allows you to fully adjust the selected source. Switch #
(10) allows you to select either the mic or the PHONO/LINE (36)
input. The CHANNEL (13) slide controls the output level of this
channel.
3. MAIN CHANNEL SECTION: To assign an input source to a channel,
first set the PHONO/LINE (11,12) switches to their appropriate
positions. To make the proper adjustments to your music, set the
GAIN (6), HIGH (7), MID (8) and LOW (9) controls and position the
CHANNEL (14, 15) slide.
SUGGESTION: You can use the Cut Features on each channel to
remove Low, Mid and/or High to create special effects.
4. CROSSFADER SECTION: The CROSSFADER (25) allows the mixing
of one source into another. The left side of the CROSSFADER (25) is
channel 2 and the right side is channel 3. The CROSSFADER (25) 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:
