[. . . ] Mic EQ (MID): Controls Mid frequency equalization for BOTH microphones (+10/-10 dB. ) [Note: Any changes made to EQ settings will affect the overall output level of the microphones]. Mic EQ (LOW): Controls Low frequency equalization for BOTH microphones (+10/-10 dB. ) [Note: Any changes made to EQ settings will affect the overall output level of the microphones]. Send FX: Turns the FX send ON / OFF for all microphones, and routes the Microphone signal to the FX Send bus (#3) (for use with external effects processor / FX Loop. ) 33. Mic Selector: Turns the mic(s) On or Off and activates the automatic Talk-over circuit.

Gain levels will differ between various types of devices (such as turntables or CD players) or different types of media. The Channel Gain allows DJs to compensate for these differences in order to maintain consistent sound levels between different pieces of music, as well as consistency between the different mixer channels. Power Switch & Connection: This is the ON / OFF power switch for the entire mixer. Only use the supplied adaptor (18v AC 1A) or one authorized by a Stanton dealer or our service department (make sure the AC cable is properly secured by the screw connection. ) In order to protect the RM. 406 and any equipment connected to it, make sure the unit is off before connecting the power or making any other connections. In addition, make sure all volumes are turned all the way down prior to following the proper power on/off sequence.

Make sure your turntables are properly grounded to the back of the mixer if they include a grounding wire. I hear hum. I hear feedback If you are using a microphone, make sure that you are not too close to the speakers or headphones. [. . . ]
