[. . . ] or LINE input. 3. 1 Input selection Stereo inputs toggle switch and are on the back panel. Your source is selectable between PHONO and LINE by the immediately above the channel fader. 8 3. INPUT CHANNEL 1 AND 2 + , Never patch line level devices into your highly sensitive phono inputs. 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 When you select PHONO or LINE your DX100 input channel's gain structure is automatically switched to exactly match the output from a typical phono cartridge (turntable) or line level device (CD/cassette/DAT player etc. ). If your music source has an output level or volume control you can set this level exactly, using the channel PFL button to send the input signal to the main meters. A control LED lights when the PFL function is enabled. E + Normally you will want to PFL only one channel at a time. 3. 3 Output level Channel output level is controlled by a precision stereo 60 mm fader . , The faders used are ultra-high quality true-log faders. 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. (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. 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. 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 that they are only active when your finger (or other appendage) is actually holding them down, like the keys on a MIDI keyboard.
