PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS PRINTED BELOW MAY VOID WARRANTY
•Follow all security advice printed on your mixer
•When removing the unit's AC plug from the power source, grasp and pull the plug, NEVER the cord itself!
•Avoid placing your mixer near heat sources, such as power amplifiers.
•When in use, place your mixer on a stable surface, away from vibration. Always use care when carrying your mixer. Impact, or heavy vibration may compromise the unit's mechanical integrity. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage resulting from an impact, or misuse.
•When in use, place your mixer away from sources of hum or noise, such as transformers, or electric motors.
•To prevent overheating, always provide your mixer with adequate ventilation air space.
•Avoid stepping on your mixer's AC cord. Repeated compression of the cord may lead to electrical shorting.
•To avoid damage due to AC voltage peaks, always disconnect your mixer from the power source during electrical storms. If possible connect mixer to a surge protector.
•Your mixer contains no user-serviceable parts. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage or personal injury resulting from unauthorized user-servicing or modifications. In addition, the warranty will be void if any unauthorized service by the user is detected. Always return your mixer to an authorized Stanton dealer for servicing.
SUPERIOR SOUND TECHNOLOGY
Stanton's revolutionary Superior Sound Technology (SST™) also gives the M.505 exceptional sound quality with audio specifications rivaling mixers costing up to four times as much. Developed from the ground up by a team of seasoned audio professionals who have designed world class professional recording studio and broadcast mixers, working hand in hand with experienced and respected DJs, SST™ delivers a dynamic range better than 110 dB through ultra low-noise circuitry with a lower total harmonic distortion (THD) than other mixers in its' class. Glass epoxy PC boards, surface mount technology, and faders that don't bleed add to the superior construction standards. This equates to a cleaner, more transparent sound, allowing your music to be heard the way it was meant to.
We’re proud to bring you the new look, feel and sound of Stanton.
DESCRIPTION OF FEATURES
1.Mic 1 Input: Combo connector to plug-in XLR or TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) 1/4” microphone cables.
2.Mic 1 Level: Controls the level of the microphone connected to (1) mic 1 Input.
3.Mic 1 EQ: Adjusts the high and low frequencies of the signal coming from mic 1. Note: Any changes made to EQ settings will affect the overall output level of the microphone.
4.Mic 1 Effect Send: Sends the mic 1 signal to outboard sound processors connected via the Send & Return circuit.
5.Mic 1 Talkover: Attenuates mic 1’s level by 20dB.
6.Mic 1 On-Off: Turn mic 1’s signal on and off.
7.Effect Send Level: Controls the level of the signal sent to the outboard sound processor via the channel sends (13) or mic 1 send (4).
8.Effect Send EQ: Adjust the high, mid, and low frequencies of the signal sent to the outboard sound processor via the channel sends (13) or mic 1 send (4). Note: Any changes made to EQ settings will affect the overall send level.
9.Effect Return Level: Controls the level of the signal returning from the outboard sound processor.
DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
10. Input Selection: Each input channel features several input sources. These selector switches let you toggle between the various sources. All channels have a phono and line input. Channels 1-2 also have an AUX input which can be switched from mic to line.
11.Input Channel Gain: Controls the input level of the selected audio source for each channel. Each gain control has an LED clip indicator.
• TIP: Turn the gain knob until the LED flashes lightly to the beat of the music. If the LED is constantly on, the signal is too loud and the audio may get slightly distorted.
12.Input Channel EQ: Adjusts the high, mid, and low frequencies of the input source. Note: Any changes made to EQ settings will affect the overall gain of the input source.
13.Input Channel Effect Send: Sends the signal from each channel to the outboard sound processor connected via the effects Send & Return.
14.Cue Selection: Sends the audio for each channel pre-channel fader to the headphone output.
15.Crossfader Assign: Assigns each channel to either side (A or B) of the crossfader (CF). Set to Bypass if you do not want to use the crossfader.
16.Input Channel Level Fader: Controls the output level of each channel.
17.Crossfader Return: Returns the wet signal from the sound processor to either side of the crossfader. When an outboard signal processor is connected via the Send & Return circuit, the crossfader can be used to mix the dry signal with the audio coming back from the sound processor (wet signal). This is done by assigning the channel sent to the sound processor to one side of the crossfader, and turning on the crossfader return (17) on the opposite side of the crossfader.
• TIP: Press the SEND button on channel 1. Set the channel 1 CF assign to A. Turn on the RTN on side B of the crossfader. Make sure no other channel is assigned to the crossfader while mixing the effects in and out. Slide the crossfader from A to B. Once side B is reached, the wet signal is audible.
18.Crossfader Curve Control: Adjusts the curve of the CF from a long fade to a sharp cut in for quick mixing and scratching. Each side of the crossfader has an independent curve control.
19.Crossfader: Fades between any input channels assigned via the CF assign switches (15).
20.Headphone Outputs: Connect your headphones to either 1/8” or _” connector (or both for dual headphones).
21.Effects Cue Return: Returns the signal from the sound processor to cue it before sending it to the master or crossfad-
er.
22.Cue Level: Controls the level of the headphone output.
23.Cue Split: In the split position, the PFL signal is sent to the left ear, and the PGM (Master) signal is sent to the right ear. To hear both signals in this position, the cue pan must be set to the center position.
24.Cue Pan: Mixes between the selected channel (PFL) and the master output (PGM).
25.Booth Level: Controls the level of the booth output.
