User manual STANTON M.304

[. . . ] · To avoid damage due to AC voltage peaks, always disconnect your mixer from the power source during electrical storms. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage or personal injury resulting from unauthorized user-servicing or modifications. In addition, the warranty will be void if any unauthorized service by the user is detected. Always return your mixer to an authorized Stanton dealer for servicing. M . [. . . ] Master output Pan- This is the pan or balance control for the mast output. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS 18. Output meters - These LEDs let you know if the audio coming out of the mixer is loud enough (or too loud!). If the LEDs reach the red, the mixer is probably clipping, or distorting. Input selectors - These toggle switches select the input source between phono and line for each channel. An LED meter is provided on each of the 3 channels for proper adjustment of the levels. Channel equalizer - Individual controls for high frequency, midrange, and low frequency equalization with +9dB/Kill adjustments. Note: Any changes made to EQ settings will change the overall output level. Channel pans - Controls left/right output balance of each channel. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS Power: This is the power switch to turn the mixer "ON" or "OFF" AC IN: This is the Input connection for the included power supply. Send and Return: These connectors are used to connect an outboard signal processor (such as the Stanton DFX-1). Connect a 1/4" mono cable from the SEND output to the Line In on your signal processor. Check it by turning the send and return volume knobs to the center position (12 o'clock) and selecting FX LOOP on any of the mixer's channels. Line: Line inputs (represented by the letter L, followed by the input number) are used to connect to line level sources such as CD players, Mini Discs, DATs, samplers, etc. Ground: Connects to the turntable ground cable to eliminate electrical hum. Master: Connects to an amplifier, EQ, crossover, or other outboard signal processing. It is usually used as a separate output in the DJ Booth for the DJ to monitor the mix. The output level is static in this case, there are no volume controls. The volume can be set from the recording device. FA D E R C L E A N I N G A N D R E P L A C E M E N T After constant use the M. 304 faders may need to be cleaned and lubricated from time to time. This will ensure long life and keep a smooth feeling throughout the fader's lifetime. Follow the instructions below to lubricate and clean your faders: Removing a fader: 1. Make sure mixer is powered off and power supply is disconnected from back of mixer. Remove the fader to be cleaned or replaced by unscrewing the 2 outer screws on the fader plate (removing the 2 inner screws will detach the fader from the fader plate). Disconnect the fader from mixer by removing the connector on the bottom of the fader. [. . . ] Once assembled, move the slider from end to end to ensure operation is smooth. (NOTE: As noted earlier if you do not want to change positioning of fader, keep the 2 fader plate screws loose and shift the fader until it is aligned with the marks you created in step 1, then tighten fader plate screws. ) I G D C A B F G E T E C H N I C A L S P E C I F I C AT I O N S Line Inputs: Phono Inputs Mic Inputs Return Inputs Send Outputs Master Outputs Record Outputs Booth Outputs Headphone Output Dimensions (LxWxD) Weight Frequency Response Max Gain THD+N Signal to Noise Ratio Noise Channel EQ 2 (RCA) x 3 channels, -10 dBV /10 kOhm 2 (RCA) x 3 channels, -50 dBV / 47 kOhm 1(1/4")/ 1 XLR -50 dBV /4. 7 kOhm 2 (1/4"), -10 dBV / 10 kOhm 2 (1/4"), -10 dBV 2 (1/4") Balanced/ (RCA) unbalanced, -2 dBu balanced / -10 dBV unbalanced 2 (1/4") Balanced/ (RCA) unbalanced, -2 dBu balanced / -10 dBV unbalanced 2 (1/4") balanced, -2 dBu / 100 Ohms 1 (1/4 inch), 1 (1/8 inch)greater than 32 Ohm load 15. 3 in x 10. 2 in x 4. 3 in (39 cm x 26 cm x 11 cm) 7. 7 lbs (3. 5 kg ) 20 Hz to 20 kHz +/-1 dB (line) 12 dB < 0. 015 % at 1 kHz 110 dB (main signal path) (ref: max level) < -92 dBV (Line input to any output) Hi +9, -45 dB, Kill: -45 dB Mid +9, -35 dB, Kill: -35 dB Low +9, -55 dB, Kill: -55 dB Crosstalk Fader Kill < -90 dB at 1 kHz < -90 dB (channel and crossfader) R E P L A C E M E N T PA R T S The following user replaceable parts are available from your local Stanton dealer.
