Operation
1. POWER ON: Once you have made all the equipment connections to
your mixer, press the POWER (22) switch. The power will turn on
and the POWER LED (17) will glow RED.
2. CHANNEL 1: The GAIN (13) control allows you to individually adjust
the gain of the channel. Switch # (14) allows you to select the
PHONO 1 (8) or the LINE 1 (7) input. The CHANNEL SLIDE (15)
controls the input level of this channel.
3. CHANNEL 2: The GAIN (20) control allows you to individually adjust
the gain of the channel. Switch # (18) allows you to select the
PHONO 2 (5) or the LINE 2 (4) input. The CHANNEL SLIDE (19)
controls the input level of this channel.
4. CROSSFADER SECTION: The CROSSFADER (24) allows the mixing
of one source into another. The left side of the CROSSFADER (24) is
channel 1 and the right side is channel 2. The CROSSFADER (24) in
your unit is removable and if the need arises can be easily replaced.
Crossfader units are available in three varieties. Part # RF-45 (which
is identical to the crossfader supplied with the mixer) has a 45 mm
travel from side to side. Part # RF-30 is available with a 30 mm travel
distance. Also available is the PSF-45 with a special curve designed
for scratch mixing. Just purchase one of these crossfader units
from your Gemini dealer and follow these instructions:
1. Unscrew the outside FADER PLA TE SCREWS (B). Do not
touch the INSIDE SCREWS (C).
2. Carefully lift the fader and unplug the CABLE (D).
3. Plug the new fader into the cable and place it back in the
mixer.
4. Screw the fader to the mixer.
Connections
1. Make sure that the POWER (22) switch is in the off position. The
POWER LED (17) will be off. This unit comes supplied with a 15 volt
AC adaptor. Plug the male pin of the adaptor into the rear panel
POWER JACK (1). Then plug the adaptor into a proper power
source.
2. The XDJ-19 is supplied with 2 sets of amp output jacks. Use the
MASTER 1 (3) or the MASTER 2 (2) jacks to connect to your mixer
to your main amplifier. You can use the second set of jacks to
connect the mixer to the record input of your recorder enabling you
to record your mix or as a second zone with an additional amplifier.
3. The MIC (9) input (found on the rear panel) accepts a 1/4"
connector. Both balanced and unbalanced microphones can be
used.
4. On the rear panel are 2 stereo PHONO (5, 8) inputs and 2 stereo
LINE (4, 7) inputs. The phono inputs will accept only turntables with
a magnetic cartridge. A GROUND (6) screw for you 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.
5. PUNCH IN: The PUNCH IN (23) buttons allow you to add a channel’s
signal to the mix when the crossfader is set to the opposite channel.
6. OUTPUT CONTROL: The level of the MASTER OUTPUT (2, 3) is
controlled by the MASTER (21) slide.
7. TALKOVER SECTION: The purpose of the talkover section is to allow
the program playing to be muted so that the mic can be heard above
the music. The MIC/TALKOVER (10) switch has three settings.
When the MIC/TALKOVER (10) switch is in the bottom position, the
MIC and talkover are both off. When the MIC/TALKOVER (10)
switch is in the center position the MIC is on, the MIC INDICATOR
(11) will glow, but talkover is off. When the MIC/TALKOVER (10)
switch is in the top position, the MIC and talkover will be on and the
volume of all sources except the Mic input are lowered by 16 dB.
The MIC (12) level controls the level of the MIC.
8. CUE SECTION: By connecting a set of headphones to the
HEADPHONE (27) jack, you can monitor either channel or both
together. Select the Channel 1 by sliding the CUE SLIDER (26)
control to the left or Channel 2 by sliding the CUE SLIDER (26)
control to the right. Use the CUE LEVEL (25) control to adjust the
