Welcome
Congratulations and thank-you for purchasing the latest addition to the growing Stanton family. Sporting a new attitude, and a fresh, modern look, the
RM.406 is a 4-channel, rackmount mixer loaded with features and innovations giving club and mobile DJs a complete, powerful, yet simple tool to mix,
create, and perform their best. 1/4" and 1/8" headphone outputs, XLR, RCA,
and 1/4" Master and Zone outputs, plus plenty of inputs, including three Mic
inputs, and a separate 1/8" jack for connecting portable devices such as
TM
iPods
by adding an FX Loop, Booth, and Subwoofer outputs. Colored, backlit
knobs, adjustable Crossfader curve, separate LED level indicators, gain and
3-band EQs on every channel with a fully assignable Crossfader, offer
increased control and functionality. Thoughtfully designed and engineered to
give you the most intuitive and instinctual experience possible, the RM.406
delivers all these features in a logical layout with quality components, all at
an affordable price.
Stanton's revolutionary Superior Sound Technology (SST™) also gives the
RM.406 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.
, ensure the utmost in flexibility. The RM.406 even goes a step further

Section D: Cue Controls
12. Cue FX: Sends the effected signal from the FX Loop to the Headphone Cue for
monitoring (see Section-B.) This allows DJs to hear what the FX Loop sounds like,
before sending it to the Master Outputs.
13. Split Cue: Controls how the CUE will be heard in the headphones. In the "stereo"
position, the pre-selected Cue (#41) will be heard as a stereo signal in the headphones (full stereo audio signal in both ears.) In "split" position, the pre-selected Cue
(#41) will be heard on one side of the headphones, while the Master Output (#6) signal is heard on the other side (different audio signals in each ear.)
14. Headphone Output 1: Connection for 1/4 inch headphone (phono-jack.)
Recommended headphone impedance is 32-200 ohms for maximum volume.
15. Headphone Output 2: Connection for 1/8 inch headphone (mini-jack.)
Recommended headphone impedance is 32-200 ohms for maximum volume.
16. Cue Level: Controls the overall headphone output level of both output jacks. It is
recommended headphones with an impedance rating of 200 ohms or less be used for
maximum volume.
17. Cue Pan: This controls the blend of audio signals that can be heard in the head
phones. In the left-most “Cue” position, only channels selected by the Cue Assign
switches (#41) will be heard. In the right-most “Master” position, ony signals being
sent to the Master Output (#6) will be heard in the headphones. Any setting inbetween provides a mix of both Cue and Master signals.
