Application Example This is a typical setup you'll find in many nightclubs: 2 turntables, 2 CD players, plus a microphone for the DJ. Be sure all equipment is powered "OFF" and all of the RM-22's Channel faders and Level knobs are at minimum volume. Be sure the rear-panel toggle switch for Channel 2 is set to "PH2" or you won't hear anything. To avoid hum, don't forget to connect the ground wires to the grounding terminals. Connect the CD players to the Line 4 and 5 inputs of Channels 3 and 4. Depending on the type of cable you have, connect your microphone to the Mic 1 or Mic 2 input. Connect the Master Output jacks to the club's power amp, EQ or crossover. If you have a separate amp for a particular area of the club, connect this amp to the Zone outputs. Set the Input Selectors on the front panel to the appropriate inputs for each channel. Power everything up and carefully adjust the input levels using the Input Gain knobs and Mic Level knob. If you want to use the crossfader, set Channels 1 and 3 to "A" and Channels 2 and 4 to "B". If your CD players support Fader Start, connect the mini-cables and set the Fader Start switches to "ON". Slowly raise the Channel faders, Master fader, Booth level, Zone level and Mic level as appropriate and start mixing! Mic 2 Here you can connect a microphone using a 1/4-inch cable. If you have an XLR-type cable, use the Mic 1 input located on the front panel. Channel This channel offers two Line inputs for connecting CD/MD players, or the audio output of a DVD player or VCR. Channel 2/3 For each channel, you can connect either two Line inputs or one Line input and a turntable, depending on the position of the push-switch. Connect the Fader Start cable (provided with any Fader Start equipped CD player) to the remote input on your CD player.
