NOTE!

If you use a High Level Output Audio Source(s) in the Phono1/Line1 (and/or Phono2/Line3) input jack(s), be sure to place the Input Select switch in the LINE1 (and/or LINE3) position(s)!

Connecting Turntables and Other Level Output Audio Sources

Connect up to 2 turntables to the Phono 1 and Phono 2 input jacks. Please note that Phone 1 and Line 1 (as well as Phono 2 and Line 3) use the same jacks. The selector switch below the jacks should be set to Phono position if the jacks are used for phono inputs.

When using a turntable, you should also securely connect its ground wire (usually green or black) to the Ground screw on the input panel of the mixer.

Use RCA type patch cables

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.

This mixer features two kinds of output jacks for you to choose from: RCA style and 1/4” type. DO NOT USE BOTH SIMULTANEOUSLY.

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.

Zone 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 ZONE L and R jacks to your secondary amplifier’s left and right input jacks.

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.

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.

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.

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 adjacent 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.”

Stereo Headphones

Connecting the Lamp

If you wish to intall a console lamp (not supplied), simply insert the plug end of an appropriate 12V/3W gooseneck style or similar lamp into the lamp socket provided in the upper right corner of the mixer control panel. Power is supplied to this lamp when the mixer power switch is turned on.

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.

12V/3W lamp

Monitoring (”Cueing”) the Inputs

1. Set the CUE ASSIGN switch of the input source (MIC , CH1, CH2, CH3 or CH 4) 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.

PYD-1932 and PYD-1942:

effect being applied.

These models also have an F/X CUE for you to monitor the sound

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/LINE1 or LINE2).

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!

4. If you add or change input sources, adjust the corresponding MIC1, 2 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.

Adding Equalization to the Mix

You can further tailor the sound processed through the mixer to match your acoustic surroundings or suit your personal preferences by using the ten frequency sliders for each channel. To engage the equalization module, press the Equalization On/Off Switch. The LED next to the switch will be illuminated, indicated the EQ mode has been engaged.

Each one of the sliding controls boosts or cuts the selected frequency by up to 10 dB. If you leave a slider at the center (”0”) position, the corresponding frequency range for that stereo channel will be left unaffected (”flat”). Please note that in order to provide a smooth range of control, the frequency ranges overlap slightly. Therefore, for example, if you raise the level in the 2K range, the 1K and 4K ranges are also slightly affected.

Adding External Effects to the Mix

To connect a sound effect device such as an echo reverb or digital sampler processor, first connect the EFFECTS SEND jacks to the external device’s AUDIO IN jacks using RCA type cables. Then connect the device’s audio outputs to the EFFECTS RECEIVE jacks on the mixer.

To activate the loop with which now has an outboard processor, press the Effects Switch.The effect devices are now in the audio chain. Be sure the device is ON.

Using the Mono/Stereo Mode Switch

When the MASTER MONO/STEREO switch is in the MONO position, the mixer combines the right and left channels and sends them to the OUTPUT R and L jacks. These combined outputs can be used by a monoaural amplifier, such as a PA amp.

In the STEREO position, right and left channels remain separate. The mixer outputs can be used by a stereo amplifier or recorder.

The ZONE MONO/STEREO switch works similarly, except that its setting affects the ZONE R & L Outputs.

Using the Crossfader with the Assign Switches

For crossfading effects, you can assign any of the four channels to either A or B sides of the crossfade mix using the Crossfade assign knobs.

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

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.

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 BASS, MID and TREBLE 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 and MIC2 controls permit you to increase or decrease the levels of these microphones within the mix.

Using the MIC Frequency Kill Switches

For unique circumstances or interesting special effects, you can completely eliminate the bass, mid or treble frequency range from the MIC channels by pressing the Kill button for that range. When the Kill mode is active, the LED above the button will be illuminated.

Using the Echo Controls (PYD1922 and PYD1942)

The built-in Echo effect is applied to the total mix. To turn on the Echo mode and activate the DELAY/REPEAT cycle, press the ECHO ON/OFF switch.

To change the length of time a sound is repeated, increase of decrease the REPEAT control. To vary the time in between the repeats, increase or decrease the DELAY control. To adjust the output level of the echo, increase or decrease the LEVEL control.

Using the Sound Effects (PYD1932 and PYD1942)

There are eight pre-programmed sound effects for your selection. Press and hold any button to generate a sound which is added to the mix. The sound will play continuously until you release the button.

The SPEED control lets you raise or lower the pitch of the sound effect, and the VOLUME control allows you to increase or decrease the effect’s volume level within the mix.
