FEATURES

Effect Mixing

Changing between three kinds of effect mix (ECHO, ZIP, ROLL) can be performed easily merely by operating the Cross fader lever, or by pressing the Effect select/start switch.

3-Band Equalizer and Kill

This 3-band equalizer corresponds to the HI, MID, and LOW channels. The attenuation level also serves as a kill function, which can decrease the level to –26 dB.

Variety of Effects

BPM Counter

The auto BPM counter provided makes music tempo visible to the eye.

Both internal and external effects can be applied to all channels, the microphone, and master. A variety of effects can be enjoyed, including delay, echo, auto pan, auto trans, filter, flanger, reverb and pitch shifter.

Peak Level Meter

The peak level meter provided is equipped with 11-bit LED indicators for all channels.

Fader Start/Stop

The CD player can be started or stopped simply by increasing or decreasing the level of the cross fader or channel fader. (This function can only be used when the Pioneer CD player series CMX-3000, CMX-5000, CDJ-1000, CDJ-100S, CDJ700S or CDJ-500

II is connected.)

Full range of input and output functions

This DJ Mixer is equipped with 4 (+3*) LINE inputs, 4 PHONO (dedicated MM) inputs, and 2 (+1*) MIC inputs, for a total of 10 inputs. In addition to 2 master output lines (one supporting professional-grade XLR mode), a variety of other independent outputs are also provided, including booth monitor output, recording output, and two digital outputs. SEND/RETURN jacks are also provided for the connection of external effects units. * These additional connectors can optionally be switched

from PHONO input to make up the total.

CAUTIONS REGARDING HANDLING

Location

Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will not be exposed to high temperatures or humidity.

÷ Do not install the unit in a location which is exposed to

direct rays of the sun, or near stoves or radiators. Excessive heat can adversely affect the cabinet and internal components. Installation of the unit in a damp or dusty environment may also result in a malfunction or accident. (Avoid installation near cookers etc., where the unit may be exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat.)

÷ When the unit is used inside a carrying case or DJ booth,

separate it from the walls or other equipment to improve heat radiation.

Installing the DJM-3000 in an EIA rack

The screw holes on the front panel of the DJM-3000 are designed for use in attaching the unit to a 19-inch EIA rack. ÷ Attach the unit to the rack using screws of the appropriate

size (screws not provided with the unit).

Note

÷ Never place this unit directly above a power amplifier, as

the heat given off by the amplifier might result in damage to the unit. Placing the unit directly above a power amplifier might also result in ham radio signals being picked up or in other types of interference.

÷ Always be sure to remove the unit from its rack before

shipping.

÷ When moving the unit while still installed in its rack,

exercise caution to avoid subjecting the unit to shocks or vibration.

Condensation

When this unit is brought into a warm room from previously cold surroundings or when the room temperature rises sharply, condensation may form inside, and the unit may not be able to attain its full performance. In cases like this, allow the unit to stand for about an hour or raise the room temperature gradually.

Cleaning the Unit

÷ Use a polishing cloth to wipe off dust and dirt. ÷ When the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth

dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water and wrung out well, then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.

÷ Never use thinners, benzene, insecticide sprays or other

chemicals on or near this unit, since these will corrode the surfaces.

CONNECTIONS

When connecting or changing the connection of units, make sure to first turn off the power switch and disconnect the power cord from the outlet.

Player 3 Player 2 Player 1

When connecting an analog player to the CH-4 PHONO 4 connectors, first remove the short-circuit pin plugs (2) from the jacks. The short-circuit pin plugs are provided to reduce any residual noise when an analog player is not connected to the PHONO 4 jacks, thus producing the highest possible sound quality. After removing the pin plugs, store them securely, and replace them in their original jacks any time an analog player is not physically connected.

*1 Connect the cord for the analog player’s ground.

This terminal is exclusively for an analog player and is not a safety earth.

*2 If you are using the unit with the separately sold CMX-

3000, CMX-5000, CDJ-1000, CDJ-100S, CDJ-700S, or CDJ-500

II connected to the LINE terminals, the fader

start function can be used if the unit and CD player are connected with a control cord.

*3 Because the unit’s PHONO input terminals are

exclusively for MM, use MM-type cartridges for the analog player connected.

Cassette deck, etc.

*4 When connecting a cassette deck, set the PHONO/LINE

switch to the LINE position.

*5 When connecting an analog record player, set the

PHONO/LINE switch to the PHONO position.

Connecting audio cords

Use the cords with the red and white pin plugs. Connect the white plug to ”L“ and the red plug to ”R“. Make sure to insert the plugs completely.

‘ Cross Fader Controls

_ CROSS FADER ASSIGN A switch

When using the cross fader with two sources (A, B), this switch selects the source assigned to A.

THRU: When cross fader is not used, sets to THRU. 1-4: Use to select the channel (CH-1 to CH-4) assigned

to A. Channels other than those assigned to A and B can be output without passing through the cross fader.

+ CROSS FADER CURVE selector switch

Use to select one of three rising curve patterns for the cross fader function.

¡ Fader display A

During the effect mix mode, displays the output of sounds from the channel selected with the CROSS FADER ASSIGN A switch.

™ Cross fader lever

¢ CROSS FADER ASSIGN B switch

When using the cross fader with two sources (A, B), this switch selects the source assigned to B.

THRU: When cross fader is not used, sets to THRU. 1-4: Use to select the channel (CH-1 to CH-4) assigned

to B. Channels other than those assigned to A and B can be output without passing through the cross fader.

] HEADPHONES Controls

& MONO SPLIT/STEREO selector switch

Use to select whether to split monitor sound on the left and right of the headphones or to keep sound in stereo form. When set to MONO SPLIT, the headphones output is set to 2-channel monaural; the Left channel becomes the source selected with the H.P CUE switch, while the Right channel becomes the master output sound (only when MASTER H.P CUE switch is set to ON).

\ FADER START Switches

CH-1, CH-2, CH-3, CH-4

When a CD player (CMX-3000, CMX-5000, CDJ-1000, CDJ-100S, CDJ-700S or CDJ-500II) is connected to one of the above channels of this unit via a control cord, the CD player’s CUE START/STOP operation will start when the channel fader is moved from “0” upwards, and will stop (back cue) when the channel fader is returned to “0”. The indicator of the selected channel will light orange during this operation. Also, if a channel is assigned to the cross fader, the cross fader is given priority; when the Cross fader lever begins moving from the A side toward B side, the CD player assigned to the B side will start, and when the lever reaches the B side, the A side source will stop (back cue).
