1. Introduction
The XS-3 is a sophisticated 2 channel DJ mixer which
allows the connection of many devices, and allows you
to mix in a creative way.
Following the sophisticated layout design, the XS-3
combines easy operation with a wide range of functions.
It is VERY IMPORTANT that you read this manual
before connecting the mixer in order to obtain its maximum performance.
We recommend our authorised Technical Services
whenever any maintenance task should be needed so
that optimum operation shall be achieved.
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, e.g. an amplifier, to avoid possible
problems with overheating.
XS-3 operates under 120, 50 Hz. Make sure that the
power cable is far away from the signal cables in order
to avoid any possible audio hum.
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 XS-3, 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 XS-3.
When turning power on, it is usually a good idea to
start with the source (turntables, CD players, etc.), then
the XS-3 and finish with the amplifier system.
Turning power off should be done in the other direction (amplifiers first, then other equipment).
1.1. Some notes and precautions
Treat the XS-3 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 XS-3 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 non-condensing.
4 TASCAM XS-3
When turning the unit on again, wait for three seconds
or more after turning it off.
1.2. Serial number, etc.
The serial number of the XS-3 is located on a sticker at
the front of the unit on the bottom panel. Make a note
of this for future reference (warranty, etc.).

1. Introduction
La XS-3 est une console DJ 2 voies permettant de
brancher de nombreux appareils et de réaliser des mixages créatifs. Son ergonomie très étudiée lui permet de
combiner un accès très simple à des fonctionnalités
étendue.
Il est TRÈS IMPORTANT de lire ce manuel en totalité
et attentivement avant tout branchement pour en
exploiter au mieux les possibilités.
Nous conseillons vivement de faire réaliser les
opérations de maintenance exclusivement par des techniciens agréés TASCAM.
1.1. Remarques et précautions
Traitez votre XS-3 avec tout le soin que vous accordez
normalement à un outil de précision.
Évitez de l’exposer à des conditions extrêmes de
température ou d’humidité et évitez de la soumettre à
des chocs ou à des vibrations.
Gardez-la à l’écart des champs magnétiques intenses
(récepteurs TV, moniteurs, moteurs électriques puissants etc.).
Considérations environementales
La XS-3 peut être utilisée à peu près partout, mais
pour lui assurer des performances et une durée de vie
maximum nous vous conseillons de veiller aux points
suivants :
ménager un espace suffisant au dessus et sur les côtés
de l’appareil pour permettre sa ventilation. Ne l’installez pas dans un espace confiné, dans une bibliothèque ou un mobilier équivalent.
Pour éviter toute surchauffe , ne la placez pas audessus de sources de chaleur importantes (amplificateurs ou autres).
La XS-3 fonctionne sur un courant secteur de 100 à
240V, à 50 ou 60Hz. Vérifiez que le câble secteur
chemine à distance des câbles audio pour éviter toute
induction de ronflement ou de souffle.
REMARQUE
Veillez à ne transporter cet appareil que dans un
conditionnement approprié ou dans son emballage d’origine. Nous vous conseillons donc de
conserver celui-ci en lieu sûr à toutes fins utiles.
Connexions aux autres appareils
Il est extrêmement important que l’appareil et toutes
les unités qui lui sont reliées soient bien hors tension
avant d’effectuer quelque modification de branchement que ce soit sur la XS-3.
Lors de la mise sous tension du système, il est
habituellement préférable de commencer par les
appareils sources (platines disques, lecteurs CD etc.)
puis d’allumer la XS-3 et de finir par le système d’amplification.
La mise hors tension doit se faire dans l’ordre inverse
(amplificateur d’abord, puis autres appareils).
Après avoir éteint l’appareil, attendez toujours au
moins 3 secondes avant de le remettre éventuellement
sous tension.
1.2. Numéro de série, etc.
Le numéro de ssérie de la XS-3 se trouve sur une
étiquette placée vers l’avant à la face inférieure de
l’appareil. Notez-le à toutes fins utiles (mise en œuvre
de la garantie, etc.). Après avoir éteint l’appareil,
attendez toujours au moins 3 secondes avant de le
remettre éventuellement sous tension.
Sa température de fonctionnement doit rester comprise
entre 5°C et 35°C, avec une humidité relative située
entre 30 et 90 degrés sans condensation.
Une chauffe modérée intervenant normalement pendant son fonctionnement, nous vous conseillons de
