CAUTIONS:

1. All operating instructions should be read before using this equipment.

2. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not open the unit. There are

NO USER REPLACEABLE PARTS INSIDE. Please refer servicing to a
qualified GEMINI Sound Products service technician.

In the USA: if you experience problems with this unit,

please call 1 [phone] for GEMINI Customer Service.

Do not attempt to return this equipment to your dealer.

3. Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or to a heat source such as a
radiator or stove.

4. This unit should be cleaned only with a damp cloth. Avoid solvents or
other cleaning detergents.

5. When moving this equipment, it should be placed in its original carton
and packaging. This will reduce the risk of damage during transit.

6. DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

7. DO NOT USE ANY SPRAY CLEANER OR LUBRICANT ON ANY

CONTROLS OR SWITCHES.

CONNECTIONS:

1. Before plugging in the power cord, make sure that the VOLTAGE
SELECTOR (1) switch is set to the correct voltage.

NOTE: THIS PRODUCT IS DOUBLE INSULATED AND IS NOT INTENDED TO BE GROUNDED.

2. Make sure that the POWER (2) switch is in the off position. The POWER
LED (3) will be off.

THE GROUND LIFT SWITCH:

Depending on your system configuration, applying the ground
sometimes creates a quieter signal path. Sometimes “lifting” the ground
eliminates loops and hum to create a quieter signal path.

1. Listen to the system with the unit ON, without music, and with the

ground “applied”. GROUND LIFT SWITCH (17) should be to the left.

2. Turn power OFF before moving the GROUND LIFT SWITCH (17).

3. Now, “lift” the ground by moving the GROUND LIFT SWITCH (17) to the

right. Turn the power back ON and listen to determine which position
provides a signal free of background noise and hum.

NOTE: KEEP GROUND LIFT IN THE GROUND “APPLIED” OR LEFT POSITION IF NOISE LEVEL

REMAINS THE SAME IN EITHER POSITION.

CAUTION: DO NOT TERMINATE THE AC GROUND ON THE POWER CABLE. TERMINATION OF

THE AC GROUND CAN BE HAZARDOUS.

OPERATION:

1. POWER ON: Once you have made all the equipment connections to
your mixer, press the POWER SWITCH (2). The power will turn on and
the POWER LED (3) will glow RED.

2. CHANNEL 1: The GAIN (18), HIGH (19), MID (20), and LOW (21).
Controls allows you to fully adjust the selected source. SWITCH (22)
allows you to select either the MIC (13) or the PHONO 1/LINE 1 (12)
input. The CHANNEL (25) slide controls the output level of this channel.

3. MAIN CHANNEL SECTION: To assign an input source to a channel,
first set the PHONO/LINE (23,24) switches to their appropriate
positions. To make the proper adjustments to your music, set the GAIN

(18), HIGH (19), MID (20), and LOW (21) controls and position the
CHANNEL (26,27) slide.

PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS LOW, MID AND HIGH EQUALIZATION FOR EACH CHANNEL WITH AN

EXTREMELY WIDE RANGE OF ADJUSTMENT.

SUGGESTION: YOU CAN USE THE CUT FEATURES ON EACH CHANNEL TO REMOVE LOW, MID

AND/OR HIGH RANGE TO CREATE SPECIAL EFFECTS.

Your Gemini mixer comes with an RG-45 PRO (RAIL GLIDE™) DUAL­RAIL CROSSFADER. RAIL GLIDE™ Crossfaders have internal dual

stainless steel rails that allow the slider to ride smoothly and accurately
from end to end. Gemini replacement Crossfaders are available in
three varieties: the RG-45 PRO (RAIL GLIDETM) Dual-Rail Crossfader;
the RF-45, which has a 45mm travel from side-to-side; and the PSF-45,
which features a special “curve” designed for scratch mixing.The
CROSSFADER in your unit is removable and, should the need arise, can
easily be replaced by following these instructions.

3. The PS-626i/676i is supplied with 4 sets of output jacks.

• The 1/4" BALANCED OUTPUT (4) jacks are used to connect to your

main amplifier using standard balanced cables. We recommend using
balanced amp outputs if the cables to your amplifier are 25 feet or more.

• The MASTER OUTPUT (5) (RCA type) jacks are unbalanced and used

to connect to your main amplifier.

• The BOOTH OUTPUT (6) (RCA type) jacks allow you to hook up an

additional amplifier.

• The REC OUTPUT (7) (RCA type) jacks can be used to connect the

mixer to the record input of your recorder enabling you to record your mix.

5. On the rear panel are 2 stereo PHONO (8, 10) inputs, 2 stereo LINE

(9, 11) inputs and 1 stereo PHONO 1/LINE 1 (12) input. The PHONO/LINE
(14) switch enables you to set the input to PHONO 1/ LINE 1 (12). The

phono inputs will accept only turntables with a magnetic cartridge. A
GROUND (15) screw to ground your turntables is located on the rear
panel. The stereo line inputs will accept any line level input such as a
CD player, a cassette player, etc.

BEAT INDICATOR (29, 30). They flash at the low frequency peak level
