User manual STANTON SMX401

[. . . ] · Avoid placing your mixer near heat sources, such as power amplifiers. · When in use, place your mixer on a stable surface, away from vibration. Impact, or heavy vibration may compromise the unit's mechanical integrity. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage resulting from an impact, or misuse. [. . . ] Examine the center channel of the fader body and if dirty, clean using cotton buds. Re-assemble and lubricate the fader as follows: 6. 1) Secure the end block and guide rail onto the fader body. 6. 4) Lubricate the guide rail by placing one drop of silicon liquid oil onto the guide rail (F). 6. 6) Insert fader track back into fader body with wires coming out open end of fader body. 6. 7) Secure the remaining end block ensuring that the track wires (I) are not pinched between the end block and fader casing. 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 FADER CLEANING AND REPLACEMENT After constant use the SMX-401 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 original fader has been removed, simply plug the 4-pin connector into the new fader. (NOTE: The P&G fader is designed with floating mounting threads for precise mechanical centralizing of the fader. If you desire to keep your fader`s current mounting position we suggest that you make 2 marks on both ends of the fader on the fader plate to indicate the P&G fader position. ) See Figure 1. Once fader is removed from unit, remove the two screws (A) from the end of the fader body where the wires exit the fader casing. Taking great care, remove the slider assembly (C), ensuring that the wiper contacts (D) are not damaged as this will affect the operation of the fader. Clean the slider assembly by gently wiping the wiper contacts and slider bearings (E) using a tissue or cotton bud. If slider bearing are excessively worn, as indicated by excessive slider rocking then contact Stanton for replacement. Remove the single upper screw on the opposite end block to remove the guide rail. Clean the guide rail (F) with a tissue or cloth, remov- DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS 1. Microphone 1 input - This combo (1/4"/XLR) connector is used to connect a microphone. [. . . ] 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.
