GETTING STARTED

1. Before turning the power on, set the Master output

control on each channel all the way down.

2. Always turn the power off before connecting or disconnecting cables.

3. Check the AC Voltage before connecting the AC plug.

USB PLAYER

1. Ensure the Channel 3 / USB button is pushed in to

allow channel 3 to accept the USB player’s signal.

2. Connect a USB ash drive to the USB port on the front

panel of the MX300 USB or MX300 USBW.

3. Wait a couple of seconds while the USB player initializes the USB drive.

4. Push the Play / Pause button to start playback

5. Playback will start from the rst track, where les are

ordered in ‘numerbetical’ order.

Please note that the maximum possible bit rate for playback of tracks is 320 kbps.

BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY

The MX300 USBW features built in Bluetooth connectivity that allows connection to any modern cellphone, tablet computer or laptop that has a Bluetooth interface. Signals from the Bluetooth connection are sent directly to the

channel 1 mix when “Bluetooth” is selected on the Channel

1 / Bluetooth select switch. To establish a connection between your MX mixer and your Bluetooth device, do the following:

1. Push the Channel 1 / Bluetooth button in to ensure the Bluetooth signal is assigned as the channel 1 source.

2. Search for and pair with “Phonic.BT” in the Bluetooth

setup menu of your cell phone, tablet, PC, or other

Bluetooth-enabled device.

3. If your device asks for a password, please enter “0000”.

4. Audio signals received through the Bluetooth interface

will be routed to channel 1 on the mixer.

5. If you cannot connect to the Phonic’s Bluetooth input, it might be because it is already connected to another device or someone has erroneously connected to it. Please restart your MX mixer and attempt the Bluetooth connection again.

6. When using smartphones and tablets, we advise that

you turn on “Airplane Mode” or “Flight Mode” to stop phone calls or push notications from interrupting your

audio.

NOTE: Not all Bluetooth-enabled devices allow for use of external

audio playback. In the case of laptops in particular, Bluetooth may

be used for data transmission only. This is a limitation of these

devices and you will not be able to use the MX300 USBW with

these devices.

30. AC Connection

This connector is used to plug in the power cord. Please use the power cord provided along with the mixer only.

31. Fuse Holder

This holder contains the fuse of the MX DJ mixer. Be sure only remove and replace the fuse when the device is disconnected from the main power source. Only fuses of the same rating and power should be used.

32. Master Output

Connect these RCA outputs to the main amplier or active

speakers as necessary. This mix is taken directly after the

DJ’s nal mix from the crossfader section.

33. Booth Output

Connect your monitor system here.

34. Record Output

Connect these RCA outputs to a recorder or other input device. These jacks are RCA types, which are suitable for connection of most analog recording devices. The level

of these outputs is not inuenced by the master control.

35. Phono / Line Inputs Sockets

These inputs, for channels 1 to 3, accept RCA-plug

connectors. Use phono input socket for phonograph turntables. Use line socket for CD players, cassette players. Line level musical instruments with stereo outputs such as rhythm machines or samplers should also be connected with the line input socket.

36. Microphone Inputs

Connect a microphone with 1/4” phone jack connectors

here. The signals of these inputs can be routed through the corresponding channels and controlled via the respective level controls. This is dependent on the phono/line/mic switch being set to mic.

37. Ground (GND)

Connect the earth cable from turntables here. This helps to reduce humming and pop noise.

REPLACING THE CROSSFADER

1. Remove the fader knob from the crossfader itself.

2. Unscrew and remove the two outer screws on the fader panel.

3. Remove the fader and unplug the cable connected to it.

4. Replace with the new fader and x it to the device with the screws.
