[. . . ] These give ultra-smooth operation even at low levels, on a par with those used in the most expensive studio consoles. 4. DJ MIC CHANNEL Plug a dynamic microphone into the jack DJ MIC input on the front panel left. , The mic pre-amp is of the same quality as our award-winning EURODESK range. This gives an incredibly warm, clear and noiseless performance. Mic input is via a balanced jack connector. (Balanced operation gives best noise performance. ) There is no PFL switch for the DJ MIC ­ simply stop the music and set DJ MIC level (top left, top panel) while observing the high-precision bargraph meters. A latching switch MIC ON activates the mic channel, while the PEAK LED immediately to the right lets you know if DJ MIC level is set too high. 5. OUTPUT SECTION 5. 1 Cross fader Channels 1 and 2 go to opposing ends of the modestly-legended ULTRA-HIGH QUALITY FADER . When set fully to the left, only channel 1 is heard in the mix, and vice versa. We know how much you will rely on this cross fader for mixing. For this reason we have ensured that it is incredibly durable and smooth-acting. , The cross fader is of a extremely high quality. Its monorail design means that you can expect a massive 100, 000 smooth operations before wear & tear even becomes a factor. 5. 2 Transforming with punch Transforming is a DJ term used to describe the inserting of a piece of music rhythmically into another piece. When the cross fader is to one side of the middle pushing the punch button on the opposite side will bring up 4. DJ MIC CHANNEL 9 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 buttons , operating on channels 2 and 3. We are sure you will grow to love their speed and ease of operation. + The big PUNCH buttons on the DX100 are designed to get a quick control. At this point it's worth pointing out that all the smaller switches on your DX100 are latching. This means they stay down until you hit them again. PUNCH buttons are non-latching, or momentary in operation. This means that they are only active when your finger (or other appendage) is actually holding them down, like the keys on a MIDI keyboard. These are ideal for executing transformations, as you will very quickly find as you get into using your DX100.
