Since sudden high output levels from your Pyle Pro mixer can damage not only audio devices connected to the mixer output but your hearing as well (especially if you are using headphones), please adjust the mixer’s controls BEFORE connecting AC power or turning on the unit.

Set up the mixer controls like this before you start:

CONTROL SETTING

Connecting High Level Output Audio Sources

Connect up to 7 such sources (tuner, cassette deck, CD Player, camcorder or VCR) to the input jacks for Line 1 , Line 2(if not being used as Phono 1 input), Line 3, Line 4(if not being used as Phono 2 input), Line 5, Line 6, Line 7. Please note that Phono 1 and Line 2 (as well as Phono 2 and Line 4) use the same jacks. The selector switch(e)s below the jacks should be set to Line position if the jacks are used for the High Level input sources described here.

Use RCA type patch cables

Connecting the Mixer Inputs

This mixer permits connection of up to seven (7) audio input sources,and two microphones. Such a system might include, for example:

Two Microphones Two Turntables

Two Microphones Seven CD players

Fire CD players

Output to an Amplifier

To play the mixer’s output signal through your speaker system (for events such as parties, dances, conferences, etc.) connect an audio patch cord (not supplied) from the mixers AMP L and R jacks to your receiver amplifier’s left and right input jacks.

Output to a Tape or Digital Audio Recorder

To play the mixer’s output signal through your speaker system (for events such as parties, dances, conferences, etc.) connect an audio patch cord (not supplied) from the mixers REC L and R jacks to your receiver/amplifier’s left and right input jacks.

Booth Output

To monitor the mixer output to a second set of speakers in the DJ booth (or in a remote location) connect an audio patch cord (not supplied) from the mixers BOOTH L and R jacks to your secondary amplifier’s left and right input jacks.

Using Headphones

Plug a pair of stereo headphones (not supplied) with a 1/4” jack into the Phones input. Using headphones not only affords you the opportunity to listen privately, but also enables you to monitor (”cue”) the incoming audio sources so you can locate an exact passage or section before mixing it in. It also gives you the opportunity to set up the relative volume level of the upcoming passage before it joins the mix.

Stereo Headphones

CAUTION: In order to avoid sudden unpleasant sound output, adjust the output devices controls to these settings before you connect the mixer’s output jacks to these devices’ input jacks.

OUTPUT DEVICE SETTINGCONTROL

TONE

Listen Safely! Please observe the following:

Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended, high-

volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss. Follow these guidelines to protect your hearing, especially when using headphones.

Always start by setting the volume level to the lowest possible level before listening.

Put headphones on, and then gradually increase the volume as necessary.

Once you set the volume level do not increase it. Over

a period of time, your ears adapt to a volume level and there is a temptation to increase it. Even though such an increase may not cause discomfort, it might still damage your hearing.

Pyle Pro Mixer Owner’s Manual – 54 – Pyle Pro Mixer Owner’s Manual

Using the Mixer Controls

Turning on the Mixer

1. Turn on the output amplifier and temporarily set its volume to the minimum setting.

2. On the mixer, turn ON the power switch. The power LED will illuminate.

3. Turn on the audio input sources you wish to mix, and set them to play (or talk continuously into the microphone).

4. To monitor the audio input sources so that you can decide when to mix in each input, see “Monitoring ‘Cueing’ the Inputs.”

5. To mix the audio input sources so that you can play them through your amplifier system or record them on your tape deck, see “Mixing the Inputs.”

Monitoring (”Cueing”) the Inputs

Adding Equalization to the Mix

These high, mid and low 3 band equallzation controls, permit you to tailor the tone frequency of the master output processed through the mix. left in their center positions, the sound is unaffected.

Using the Microphone

Incorporating Voice into the Mix

To blend voice from the microphones with the audio program material, first be sure the MIC/TALKOVER switch is set to the ON position. (In this position, the MIC channel is mixed into the program like any other audio input source.)

Then adjust the corresponding MIC level controls to increase or decrease the microphone level (this will not affect the main volume inputs). When a microphone is not in use, set the MIC/TALKOVER switch to OFF.

1. Set the CUE ASSIGN switch of the input source (CH1, CH2, CH3 or CH4) you wish to monitor.

2. Adjust the Headphone Level control to a comfortable listening level.

3. The Headphone CUE/PGM control permits you to switch easily from listening to CUE material to the playing PROGRAM sound. You can also listen to both simultaneously by moving the Headphone CUE/PGM control to a point midway between the two ends.

Mixing the Inputs

There are a maximum of ten input sources available at one time, including two microphone inputs. Both microphone input sources are always available as part of the mix, if desired. Each of the four audio channels can be linked to two different input sources, and one of these sources for each channel is available for mixing.Turn on all the available audio sources and be sure they are providing sound before continuing.

1. Select the Channel Input Selectors for each channel, choose the audio sources you want to mix for each channel (i.e., choose PHONO1/LINE2 or LINE3).

2. Set the Mic and Channel Level controls all to within the 8 - 10 range.

3. Slide the MASTER volume control toward 10 until you get an average reading of 0 on both Output Level LED Meters. The output level displayed in the meters represents the TOTAL output from all

the channels supplying audio to the mix. NOTE: Once you set this level, we suggest you do not change it!

Talkover Mode

Talkover mode allows a voice to be heard clearly through the microphone by attenuating all the other audio input sources. This mode is engaged by setting the Talkover Switch to the TALKOVER position.

Microphone Tone Controls

These HIGH, and LOW controls, permit you to tailor the tone frequencies of the MIC inputs processed through the mix. Left in their center positions, the sound is unaffected (”flat”).

Microphone Level Controls

The independent MIC1 controls permit you to increase or decrease the levels of these microphones within the mix.

Using the Crossfader

When the crossfader slider is in the center position, the two assigned channels play equally. Sliding the control towards the CH2 position will increase the level of CH2 and fade out CH3 proportionally to the distance from center. Likewise, sliding the control towards the CH3 position will increase the level of CH3 and fade out CH2.

4. If you add or change input sources, adjust the corresponding MIC1 or CH1, CH2, CH3 or CH4

level control(s) to maintain the average reading of 0 on the LED meters.

5. To change the overall sound level, adjust the RECEIVER/AMPLIFIER (NOT THE MIXER) volume

control to the desired volume.

Troubleshooting

Your mixer should require very little maintenance. If you have problems, refer to the chart below for possible solutions. If you cannot solve the problem, contact a qualified technician for assistance.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE SOLUTION

Nothing works • Check the AC connection. Make sure the AC outlet is “live.”

No signal from an audio input source

Hum from other source

Feedback is present

Care and Maintenance

Your Pyle Pro Mixer is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your mixer so you can enjoy years of use:

• Keep the mixer dry. If it gets wet,

wipe immediately.

• Check the power connection to the rest of the system (receiver/amplifier, etc.)

• Check the control setting

• Check the connection between the mixer and the input source

• Check that the turntable’s ground wire (usually black or green) is fastened securely to the GROUND SCREW on the mixer input panel

• Make sure there are no low level inputs connected to the LINE input jacks

• Move the microphone further away from the output speakers, or use a directional microphone

• Use the mixer only in well-

ventilated installations.

• Handle the mixer gently and

carefully - do not drop!

• Keep the mixer away from dust

and dirt.

• Wipe occasionally with a damp

cloth to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents or detergents!
