Introduction
The X-17 is a sophisticated 4–PGM DJ mixer which allows you to connect many devices, and mix in a creative way. With a sophisticated layout, the X-17 combines easy operation with a wide range of functions. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you read this manual before connecting and using the mixer, in order get the best out of it. We recommend contacting our authorized Technical Service department, or that of your TASCAM dealer or distributor if any maintenance or repair work is necessary, so that you can continue to enjoy the best possible performance and operation.
Only use the AC adaptor provided with the X-17, and do not use the adaptor with any other equipment. Always make sure that the voltage supplied to the adaptor matches the input voltage as specified on the adaptor. In case of doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
To avoid hum in the audio, make sure that the power cable is far away from the signal cables.
NOTE
When transporting the unit, always use the original packing materials or a properly-designed equipment case. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you save all the packing materials that came with the X-17, in case you need to transport it in the future.
Connections to other equipment
It is extremely important that the power is turned off on all units when making or breaking connections to or from the X-17. When turning power on, it is usually a good idea to start with the source (turntables, CD players, etc.), then the X­17 and finish with the amplifier system. Turning power off should be done in the other direction (amplifiers first, then other equipment). If you have to turn off the X-17 and turn it on again, always wait for 3 or more seconds between turning the unit off and on again.
Some notes and precautions
Treat the X-17 as you would any other piece of precision equipment. Avoid exposing it to extremes of temperature and humidity and avoid mechanical shocks and vibration. Keep the unit away from strong magnetic fields (TV sets, computer monitors, large electric motors, etc.).
Environmental considerations
The X-17 may be used in most areas, but to maintain top performance, and prolong operating life, observe the following environmental conditions:
The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F). Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 degrees non­condensing.
As the unit may become hot during operation, always leave sufficient space above and around the unit for ventilation.
Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as a bookcase or similar unit.You should not place the unit on a piece of equipment generating heat, an amplifier for example, to avoid possible problems with overheating.
Serial number, etc.
The serial number of the X-17 is located on a sticker at the rear of the unit on the bottom panel. Make a note of this for future reference (warranty, etc.).

8 TRIM controls and OL indicators
Adjust the input signal level for each PGM. If a PGM’s input signal causes an overload, the PGM’s OL indicator lights.
NOTE
All input sensitivity adjustments must be done very carefully. Use the level meter and/or headphones for reference. Make sure that the top red meter LEDs do not all light up, as this shows that the signal can clip (overload and distort).
9 PGM EQ
Provides three-band EQ (equalization) for each PGM signal. The control for each band can cut the band by up to 26 dB and boost it by up to 12 dB. If all EQ controls on a PGM are set to –26dB, this will almost completely cut the signal of the PGM.
0 Input Selector switches
Select the input signal for each PGM. Each PGM can select from either a LINE input or a PHONO/LINE input (the selection between phono and line is made on the rear panel).
q CUE switches and indicators
Sends the pre-fader signals of the PGMs to the CUE monitor bus. When CUE is activated for a PGM, the CUE indicator lights.
4 OL indicator
When the MAIN MIC and/or AUX MIC input signal cause an overload, this indicator lights (post-insert, but pre-EQ).
NOTE
All input adjustments must be done very carefully. Use the level meters and/or headphones for reference. Make sure that the top red meter LEDs do not all light up, as this shows that the signal can clip (overload and distort).
5 MIC EQ
2-band EQ (HI and LO, both cutting and boosting by 12 dB) affecting both the the MAIN MIC and AUX MIC input signals.
6 ON switch and indicator for AUX MIC channel
Push for on, and push again for off. When this switch is on, the AUX MIC (auxiliary microphone) channel is active and the indicator lights.
w PGM faders
Adjust the level of the PGMs
e FADER START switches
Set the automatic start of A and B using the cross-fader on or off.
r Cross-fader ASSIGN selectors
Select the signal sources assigned to the A and B cross­fader outputs. Each of the four PGMs can be selected as a signal source, and there is also a THRU setting, which means that no PGM is assigned to the cross-fader on that side. Use the PGM and MASTER faders to adjust the output if this setting is made.
t Cross-fader
Mixes between the A and B outs, assigned from the PGM signals. The cross-fader can be reversed, and you can set the cross-fader curve to match your preferences (see below). It is possible for you to replace the cross-fader if this becomes necessary (see below for details).

Vous serez ainsi assuré du bon fonctionnement et des meilleures performances de votre X-17.
N’utilisez que l’adaptateur secteur livré avec la X-17, à l’exclusion de tout autre. Vérifiez avant tout branchement que la valeur de votre tension secteur correspond à celle indiquée sur l’adaptateur. Au moindre doute, veuillez consulter un électricien qualifié. Pour éviter tout parasite dans le signal audio (ronflette ou autre), veillez à éloigner le câble secteur ou l’adaptateur des câbles transportant le signal.
REMARQUE
Pour transporter l’appareil, n’utilisez que son emballage d’origine ou un conditionnement approprié (flight-case ou assimilé). Nous vous conseillons par conséquent de conserver l’emballage d’origine de la X-17, pour tout transport ultérieur.
Connexion aux autres appareils
Il est extrêmement important d’éteindre tous les autres appareils de votre système avant d’effectuer des branchements sur la X-17. Pour mettre sous tension le système, il est conseillé de respecter l’ordre suivant : d’abord les sources de signal (platine tourne-disques, lecteurs de CD, etc.), puis la X­17 et, en tout dernier, le système d’amplification. Pour mettre le système hors tension, il faut adopter l’ordre inverse (d’abord le système d’amplification, puis les autres appareils). Si vous êtes amené à éteindre puis rallumer la X-17, attendez toujours 3 secondes au minimum entre l’extinction et la remise sous tension.
Remarques et précautions
Traitez votre X-17 avec tout le soin souhaitable pour un appareil de précision. Évitez de l’exposer à des conditions extrêmes de température et/ou d’humidité, et évitez de la soumettre à des chocs ou des vibrations d’origine mécanique. Éloignez l’appareil des champs magnétiques intenses (tels que ceux générés par un téléviseur, un moniteur d’ordinateur, un moteur électrique puissant, etc.).
Considérations environnementales
La X-17 peut être utilisée à peu près partout, mais pour assurer des performances maximales et prolonger sa durée de vie, nous vous conseillons de veiller aux points suivants : La température nominale de fonctionnement doit être comprise entre 5 °C et 35 °C, avec un taux d’hygrométrie relatif de 30 % à 90 %, sans condensation. L’appareil subit un échauffement modéré en cours de fonctionnement : nous vous conseillons par conséquent de ménager un espace libre suffisant au-dessus et autour de la X-17 pour assurer une bonne ventilation. N’installez pas l’appareil dans un espace confiné, tel qu’une bibliothèque ou un meuble comparable. Pour éviter toute surchauffe, ne placez pas la X-17 au-dessus d’un autre appareil générant de la chaleur – un amplificateur de puissance par exemple.
Numéro de série, etc.
Le numéro de série de la X-17 se trouve sur une étiquette adhésive placée sur le fond de l’appareil, vers l’arrière. Notez-le en lieu sûr pour toute référence ultérieure (mise en œuvre de la garantie, etc.).

Surface de contrôle (panneau supérieur)
1 Entrée MAIN MIC
Reliez le microphone principal à ce connecteur Combo XLR/TRS, qui accepte des signaux symétriques et asymétriques. Ce connecteur, de type “Combo”, accepte indifféremment des prises mâles de type XLR et jack TRS 1/4 pouce TRS. L’assignation des contacts est la suivante :
XLR TRS GND (masse) : contact 1 corps HOT (point chaud) : contact 2 pointe COLD (point froid) : contact 3 anneau
REMARQUE
Un autre connecteur repéré MAIN MIC se trouve en face arrière de l’appareil. Il est impossible d’utiliser les deux simultanément : veillez donc à utiliser soit celui de la face avant, soit celui du panneau arrière.
La voie MAIN MIC possède également un connecteur d’insertion dédié, situé sur le panneau arrière de la X-17.
2 Touche et indicateur ON de la voie MAIN MIC
Appuyez sur la touche pour activer la voie – l’indicateur s’allume alors et la voie MAIN MIC est active. Pour la désactiver, il suffit d’appuyer de nouveau sur la touche.
3 Potentiomètre LEVEL MAIN MIC
Ce potentiomètre permet de régler le niveau du signal arrivant sur l’entrée MAIN MIC (connecteur avant ou connecteur arrière).
7 Potentiomètre AUX MIC LEVEL
Ce potentiomètre permet de régler le niveau du signal arrivant sur l’entrée AUX MIC.
8 Potentiomètres TRIM et indicateurs OL
Ce potentiomètre permet de régler le niveau du signal arrivant sur chacune des voies PGM. Si le niveau d’entrée d’un signal PGM provoque un écrêtage, l’indicateur OL de la voie PGM correspondante s’allume.
REMARQUE
Tous les réglages de niveaux d’entrée doivent s’effectuer avec une grande prudence. Vérifiez ce qui se passe sur les VU-mètres et/ou au casque. Attention : les LED rouges en haut des VU-mètres ne doivent pas s’allumer, sous peine d’écrêtage (surcharge et distorsion).
9 Égaliseur PGM (EQ)
Chaque voie PGM possède un égaliseur trois bandes HI, MID et LO. Chacune permet d’atténuer la bande de fréquences correspondante de 26 dB ou de l’amplifier de 12 dB au maximum. Si vous réglez les trois potentiomètres HI, LO et MID d’une voie PGM sur –26 dB, le signal résultant sera très faible.
0 Sélecteurs d’entrée
Permettent de choisir le signal d’entrée de chaque voie PGM. Pour chacune de ces voies PGM, vous pouvez choisir entre l’entrée LINE et l’entrée PHONO/LINE correspondante (la sélection entre phono et ligne s’effectue sur le panneau arrière).
4 Indicateur d’écrêtage OL
Dès que le niveau du signal d’entrée MAIN MIC et/ou AUX MIC provoque un écrêtage, cet indicateur s’allume. Le niveau du signal est mesuré après insertion, mais avant l’égaliseur.
REMARQUE
Tous les réglages de niveaux d’entrée doivent s’effectuer avec une grande prudence. Vérifiez ce qui se passe sur les VU-mètres et/ou au casque. Attention : les LED rouges en haut des VU-mètres ne doivent pas s’allumer, sous peine d’écrêtage (surcharge et distorsion).
5 Égaliseur MIC EQ
Cet égaliseur possède deux bandes, HI et LO. Toutes deux permettent d’amplifier ou d’atténuer les graves et/ou les aigus de 12 dB au maximum. Cette égalisation agit simultanément sur les signaux d’entrée MAIN MIC et AUX MIC.
6 Touche et indicateur ON de la voie AUX MIC
Appuyez sur la touche pour activer la voie – l’indicateur s’allume alors et la voie AUX MIC est active. Pour la désactiver, il suffit d’appuyer de nouveau sur la touche.
q Touches et indicateurs CUE
Cette touche permet d’envoyer le signal, prélevé avant fader, de la voie PGM correspondante sur le bus d’écoute CUE. Lorsqu’elle est activée sur une voie, l’indicateur CUE correspondant s’allume.
w Faders PGM
Ces faders permettent de régler avec précision les niveaux des signaux des voies PGM.
e Sélecteurs FADER START
Ces sélecteurs permettent d’activer/désactiver le démarrage automatique de A et de B par l’intermédiaire du crossfader.
r Sélecteurs ASSIGN pour le cross-fader
Permet de choisir les sources de signal assignées aux côtés A et B du crossfader. Vous pouvez choisir n’importe lequel des signaux des quatre voies PGM, et il existe également une position THRU dans laquelle aucun signal n’est affecté à ce côté du crossfader. Dans ce cas, il faut utiliser les faders PGM et MASTER pour mixer le signal de sortie.
t Crossfader
Ce fader horizontal permet de passer du signal PGM assigné au côté A su signal PGM assigné au côté B.
