[. . . ] (3) Provide the chosen source with a typical signal level and press the CUE button just below the fader. The signal level should now be shown on the CUE bargraph meter. (4) Adjust the SENS until the meter is just reaching the yellow LED (0dB) at a typical maximum source level with a steady signal. This leaves enough headroom to cope with peaks in the signal without distortion. (5) Adjust each channel in the same way. (6) With your amplifier and speakers connected, set the amplifier by using the amplifiers gain control to give the level that will be required in actual use. (7) All the levels should now be set correctly to avoid clipping etc. Installation 2. 11 R emoving A nd R eplac ing Modules Removing Modules Each Input Module is secured to the D-Mix1000 frame by two screws, the Master module is secured by four screws. Remove the screws using a cross-head screw driver. Turn the console on to its underside, so it is face down. Remove the screws holding in XLRs and the nuts holding the jack sockets in. You may find it helpful to refer to the black sticker on the console to make sure you are removing the correct components for the module which you require. Slowly turn the console back over to its original position, the module should now be free for removal. Lift the module a few inches out from the desk frame, just enough so the ribbon cable is exposed. Gently ease off the loom connector from the bottom of the PCB. The module should now be completely free from the desk. Replacing modules Line the module up so it can slot easily into the desk frame and connect the ribbon cable back onto the PCB. Turn the console onto its underside and replace XLR fixing screws and Jack socket nuts. Turn the console back to its original position and replace the module fixing screws situated on the face of the module. The module should now be securely fixed to the console. It is important to note that the modules may be configured to the users requirements but caution must be taken not to damage the main wire loom. Be careful not to trap the loom between any of the modules. 2. 12 Installation R emoving A nd R eplac ing The C ros s F ader With a cross-head screw driver, remove the two Cross Fader fixing screws. These are labelled numbers 1 and 2 on the diagram. Gently lift out the fader, being careful not to apply too much force on the wire loom connecting the Cross Fader to the console. [. . . ] The process can then be repeated with sources preset on the `A' side. Ducking 3 A selected mono input can be assigned (by setting an internal link on the input module) to operate in conjunction with the master module to give an automatic VOICE OVER facility for the DJ's microphone. When the VOICE OVER switch is pressed, if the selected mono input is switched to MIC, the mic signal will activate the ducking system on the master module and dim the active output of the Crossfader. The dim threshold is adjusted by an internal preset. Any channels assigned directly to the Stereo Mix are unaffected. Aux Send and Return 4 The Aux signals from the channels are mixed and sent to the Aux Send jack at an overall level set by the AUX SND control. [. . . ]
