The Ultimate Party Machine

DJ Mixing System

Introduction….

Thank you for purchasing the Ultimate Party Machine. The Ultimate Party Machine is designed with a built in power amplifier and speakers for your enjoyment. For larger venues you will want to use an external power amplifier and speakers.

The Ultimate Party Machine has been built with five primary components:

1. Two channel stereo audio mixer

2. Two CD players

3. Microphone

4. Amplifier

5. Speakers

Portability of the unit allows you to be on the move quickly and easily if needed. Ultimate Party Machine is equipped with sufficient input and output connections, so you can connect it to the external sources (tape players, amplifiers, receivers, etc.) Overall you will find the Ultimate Party Machine simple to set up and easy to use…… after all mixing music is about being creative - so why make life complicated.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION….

Please read this entire manual before connecting this unit to your system.

For optimum performance:

1. Never use spray cleaners on the slide controls.

Residues cause excessive dirt build-up and this will void your warranty. In normal use slide controls can last for many years. If they malfunction (usually because of a dirty or dusty environment) consult a professional technician.

2. Always make sure that AC power is OFF while

making any connections.

3. Use appropriate cables throughout your system. Do

not use excessively long cables (i.e. over 50ft/14m) Be sure plugs and jacks are tightly mated. Loose connections can cause hum, noise or intermittents that could easily damage your speakers. Make the input and output connections with readily available low-capacitance stereo cables. Quality cable makes a big difference in audio fidelity and punch. See your Numark dealer or an electronics or audio specialist store if you are not sure which cables to get.

4. Never attempt to make any adjustments or repairs

other than those described in this manual. Take the unit to your dealer or to an authorized Numark Service Center.

- Consumer Products Division

5. ALWAYS remember: “TURN AMPS ON LAST AND OFF FIRST”. Begin with master faders or volume controls on minimum and the amplifier gain/input control(s) down. Wait 8 to 10 seconds before turning up the volume. This prevents transients which may cause severe speaker damage.

6. Use restraint when operating controls. Try to move them slowly. Rapid adjustments could damage speakers due to amplifier clipping.

7. Avoid amplifier “clipping” at all costs: this occurs when the red LEDs (usually on the front panel of most professional power amplifiers) start flashing. “Clipping” is when the power amplifier is distorting and working beyond it’s limits. Amplifier distortion is THE major cause of speaker failure.

8. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. Never place cans of beer, soda, glasses of water or anything wet on top of the unit!
