1. THE MANUAL We know that reading manuals can be a bore, and that you are probably impatient to get started with your new DX100 mixer, if you havent already! It is true that with a modicum of knowledge about audio equipment you could get up and running successfully, but chances are you will not be able to exploit the full potential of your DX100 (or yourself) until you have some of its more advanced features explained. Please, please at least read through all the text in this section, which co

2.1 Highly accurate Main / PFL Peak - reading bargraph meters Both music channels have highly-accurate PFL (Pre-Fader-Listen) . This means that you can see (on the bargraph meters ) and hear (on headphones) the music you are about to play without disturbing the main mix - essential if you want to come in at the same level and in time with the music currently playing. (All professional DJs strive to do this, often overlapping two tracks, or slowly cross fading between them. These and other DJ mi

+ Never patch line level devices into your highly sensitive phono inputs. Phono cartridge output is measured in millivolts. Line level signals are of the order of magnitude of a volt. With line levels you are looking at a signal up to 100 times more powerful than the phono pre-amplifier is designed to handle! , If for some reason your turntable has a built-in RIAA pre-amp, you should patch it into a line level input. 3.2 Input gain E When you select PHONO or LINE your DX100 input channels gain

the level of that side of the cross fader. This way it is possible to punch in a piece of music, typically a certain drum track or lyric, into the playing piece of music. Traditionally this is done by rapidly pushing the fader up from minus infinity to 0 or +6 dB or moving a cross fader from one side to the middle to give a stuttering or gated effect. These methods are still valid, but if you are looking for instantaneous transforming check out our ergonomic alternative - a pair of big PUNCH b

6. HEADPHONES, MONITORS & PFL 6.1 PFL : Pre-Fader listening When any PFL button is depressed the main meters will change to displaying PFL level. PFL is the way to hear, cue and set up a piece of music before you play it out in the mix. J In the club environment, things get messy. You cant hear any sound in isolation, either on a E foldback system or headphones, because both are to some extent drowned out by the main PA system. You should, however, be able to hear the PFL signal loud enough to
