Introduction
Your new DJM806 Mixer/Amplifier is designed and
built to provide long-term trouble free performance.
Drawing on thirty-five years of experience in the
design and manufacturing of powered mixing consoles, Yorkville engineers were able to optimize the
design of the first high-powered DJ mixer. Features
include rack mountability, quiet internal fan cooling,
three microphone input-channels, three stereo input
channels with dual, switch-selectable pairs of inputs,
removable interchangeable main crossfader and headphone crossfader, two zones out, stereo balanced line
outputs, headphone monitoring of both the cue and
program buses, switchable stereo 7-band EQ, level
display assignable to Left/Right stereo operation or
cue/program operation, 255-preset digital signal processing, 800 watts of stereo power built-in, a selection
of 1/4-inch and Speakon™ output connectors.
Terminology
• 3-pin microphone inputs are referred to as XLR connectors.
• ¼-inch jack sockets are called phone connectors.
• Balanced ¼-inch inputs or outputs are called TRS or Tip-Ring-Sleeve
• Master control and mixing channels are called buses.
• Overload indicators are called CLIP LED’s.
• Patch cables with dual conductors plus shielding and Tip-Ring-Sleeve (stereo) ¼inch phone plugs are referred to as balanced patch cables.
Basic Features
• Channels 1-3 Balanced XLR & ¼-inch Combination Jack
• Balanced Mic inputs with low-noise input circuit design.
• Stereo Channels have Switchable Phono/Line stereo inputs
• Three-band EQ with +15dB/-15dB of range for Mic Channels.
• Three-band EQ with +15dB/-20dB of range for Stereo Channels.
• Post-EQ, post-fader, EFX (effects) send controls.
• Increased circuit headroom and gain for a more flexible mix.
• Gold internal bus-interconnects for long life and maximum signal integrity.
• Cue buttons and LEDs on all channels
• Pulse-stretching Clip LED’s indicate even the briefest peaks and fire at -3dB, well
before the onset of actual clipping, at all active channel stages.

Feature Details
Mic Channels (MIC 1, MIC 2, MIC 3 )
Inputs
Each mic channel is mono and has a combination XLR/¼-inch TRS (balanced)
microphone connector. The XLR segment is optimized for low-impedance microphones and is wired Pin 1= Ground, Pin 2 = in phase and Pin 3 = reverse phase. It
will accept line-level signals, however the GAIN control will need to be turned to a
lower setting to prevent clipping. The ¼-inch Tip-Ring-Sleeve wiring is; Tip=in phase,
Ring=reverse phase and Sleeve=Ground.
Gain Control
With signal applied to the input, adjust this control so that occasional flashes of the
Clip LED are observed — alternately, you can Cue the channel and adjust for “0”
on the Level Meter. This will ensure that the signal level fits comfortably within the
channel strip’s headroom ~ low enough to prevent distortion, and yet high enough to
preserve the signal-to-noise ratio.
High, Mid, Low Channel EQ
The High, Mid, and Low equalization is variable by +/-15dB. This is a considerable
amount of gain change, roughly equivalent to a 150% variation in audible loudness.
EFX Send Control
The EFX send control varies the amount of post-EQ, post-fader channel signal sent to
the master EFX bus. The output of the EFX bus then goes to the internal 16-bit processor. The output of the effects processor then goes to the Main master section to be
mixed with the signals going there direct from the input channels.
Cue Button
The Cue feature enables you to preview channel signals via headphones before
they go to the main system. The Cue signal is post-EQ so that the channel equalization will be in effect through the headphones, it is pre-fader so that you may
use the Right/Cue Level meter to help set the channel Gain for an average “0”
reading. Use the Phones Level to adjust cueing volume. Cue LED’s remain on
while the cue buttons are depressed.
To test the Cue feature, simply follow these steps:
a) Connect a low, or high, impedance mic to Mic 1, 2, or 3 and set the channel
fader to zero.
b) With the Headphones Crossfader set to Cue, phones plugged in, the Phone Level
turned up and the Display Assign button down in Pgm/Cue position, you are
ready to preview the mic.
c) Depress the channel Cue button. Now that channel will have prominence
through your headphones.
d) Talk through the mic at performance volume. Listen through the phones while
adjusting the channel Gain for maximum signal level before Clip activity on the
channel or for roughly a “0” average reading on the meters.
e) When you are ready to insert the program, simply take it off hold and bring up
the channel level fader. If it is on Channel 1 or Channel 2, you will also need to
Crossfade to it.
Channel Fader
This adjusts the level of the post-EQ channel signal headed directly for the Left and
Right Main masters. It also regulates the EFX send signal level.
2
Clip LED
The channel Clip LED watches all the active electronic stages in the channel circuit.
Whenever any stage’s signal peak approaches clipping to within 3dB, the Clip LED circuitry
captures and displays this event. See under Gain control for more about this feature.
Stereo Channel Inputs (CH1, CH2, CH3 )
Inputs & Selector Buttons
The DJM806 features internal RIAA phono equalizers on Channels 1
and 2. Those channels will directly accept the output from turntables
with the channel input selector up in the Phono position. There are also
CD/TAPE/LINE inputs on all three-program channels, which may be
activated with the input selectors. This way, you can connect up to six
different sources via these three channels and punch them in as desired.
Ground Terminal
Connect turntable ground wire here to
minimize hum and noise.
Gain Control
With signal applied to the input, adjust the GAIN so that occasional
flashes of the CLIP LED are observed — alternately, you can CUE the
channel and adjust for “0” on the Level Meter. This will ensure that
the signal level fits comfortably within the channel strip’s headroom ~
low enough to prevent distortion, and yet high enough to preserve the
signal to noise ratio.
High, Mid, Low Channel EQ
Equalization is varied by three controls labeled High, Mid and Low.
Each control can either boost the amplitude of its frequency band by
+15dB or cut by -20dB. The -20dB cut capability is especially helpful when you are cueing and crossfading cuts of dissimilar tempo and
don’t want the bass beats to conflict. You turn the channel’s LO EQ to
-20dB before crossfading to it, and then simply turn it back up while
completing the crossfade.
Effects Send Control
The EFX send control varies the amount of post-EQ, post-fader
channel signal sent internally to the master DIGITAL EFFECTS
system’s 16-bit processor. The output of the effects processor then
goes to the MAINS master section to be mixed with the dry signals
going there direct from the input channels. Remember, because
this send is post-fader, the channel fader must be pushed up for
EFX signal to get to the effects processor.
Cue Button & LED
The CUE feature enables you to preview channel signals via headphones before they go to the main system. The CUE signal is post-EQ
so that the channel equalization will be in effect through the headphones, and it is pre-fader so that you may use the Right/Cue Level
meter to help set the channel Gain for an average “0” reading. Use
the Phones Level to adjust cueing volume. Cue LED’s remain on while
the cue buttons are depressed.
To test the Cue feature, simply follow these steps:
a) Connect a signal source (tape deck, CD player or turntable)
to CH1, 2 or 3 and set the channel fader to zero. With the
Headphones Crossfader set to Cue, phones plugged in, the
Phones Level turned up and the Display Assign button down in
Pgm/Cue position, you are ready to preview the program.
b) Depress the channel Cue button. Now that channel will have
prominence through your headphones.
c) Listen through the phones while adjusting the channel Gain for
3
maximum signal level before Clip activity on the channel, or for roughly a “0”
average reading on the meter. Also adjust the channel EQ as desired, then put
the program on hold awaiting insertion and take the channel off Cue.
d) When you are ready to insert the program, simply bring up the channel level.
e) When you are ready to insert the recorded material, simply punch the Cue but-
ton into the up position, then take the recorded material off play hold/pause and
bring up the channel fader to the desired mix levels.
Channel Fader
This adjusts the levels of both the post-channel-EQ signal headed directly for the
Mains master and the EFX send signal headed for the effects processor. The shaded
area of the fader indications around “7” are roughly in the slide range where movements produce the smallest, most precise amounts of level change. Above and below
that area, changes occur more quickly to provide fast “max” or “off” settings.
Channel Clip LED
The channel Clip LED watches all the active electronic stages in the channel circuit. Whenever any stage’s signal peak approaches clipping to within 3dB, the
Clip LED circuitry captures and displays this event. See under Gain control for
more about this feature.
Channel Crossfader
The Crossfader selects between Channels 1 and 2 sending them to the MAIN master. This much-used fader is removable for service and is interchangeable with the
Headphone Crossfader in an emergency.
Channel Crossfader On/Off Button
This pushbutton allows you to turn the Crossfader off while replacing the Crossfader,
or you may prefer to disable the Crossfader and use the channel faders for mixing.

Master Features
IMPORTANT!
The mixer section of the DJM806 will remain operational if the built-in power amp ever shuts
down. The Main outputs would be used to connect another power amp in this instance.
Master Fader
The Master Fader determines the Main system’s level along with the channel faders. Leave
at a low setting when playing quietly to reduce bus noise, and for mixing convenience.
Main Out Connectors
These balanced XLR and ¼-inch TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) line-level outputs reflect the
post-EQ, post-effects final mix signal as regulated by the Mains master fader. Connect
external amplifiers here for main system reinforcement. Alternately you may use these
connectors to patch a stereo crossover/processor (e.g. élite) or a compressor/limiter
between the DJM806’s mixer section and built-in power amp. See under Amp In
Jacks for patching instructions You may use balanced or unbalanced patch cables,
however for quietest operation we recommend balanced cables.
Zone Output Section
Located in the upper right area, beside the Mains Output jacks, are the Zone 1 and
Zone 2 line-level Outputs. These are Tip-Ring-Sleeve (balanced) ¼-inch connectors,
which will accept unbalanced patch cords (but we recommend you use balanced
cables for quietest performance). They are included for supplying signal to external
power amplifiers or powered speakers, another mixer, triggered lights, etc. Each Zone
has its own master Level control.
Zone 1 has Left and Right outputs for driving a stereo amp/speaker setup, as well
as a Mono output for driving a powered subwoofer or triggered lighting. The Zone 1
signals go through the 7-band graphic equalizer via the Zone 1 EQ In/Out pushbutton. With the In/Out feature, Zone 1 can bypass the onboard EQ if you are using it to
run a separate amp/speaker system with different sound characteristics than the main
speakers, perhaps near-field powered monitors.
Zone 2 is pre-EQ - i.e. it does not go through the graphic. It may be used for connection to a tape deck, a second mixer or another amp/speaker system.
7-Band Graphic Equalizer & In/Out Button
The stereo, graphic equalizer can be switched In or Out of the Main signal with the
bypass button located just above the Mains fader. Since there is up to +/-12dB of cut/
boost, you can use the EQ for controlling feedback quite effectively.
5
Digital Effects Processor - General
The internal Digital Effects Processor is a full 16-bit,
20kHz bandwidth DSP-based effects subsystem developed by Applied Research & Technology in Rochester,
New York. It has been custom programmed with 255
effects ranging from reverb to echo and special effects.
The selection of effects was determined in collaboration
with a panel of sound engineers experienced in live performance mixing. As a result you should find the internal
effects system to be more than adequate for most applications.
Main Effects In/Out Button
The In/Out button allows you to switch the preset effects
on or off. You might, for example, choose to have a particular special effect on your voice at certain times. The In/
Out button would let you punch it in and out as required.
Digital Effects Clip LED
The Clip LED helps you to set up channel EFX send levels
for optimum signal strength to drive the effects processor.
With signals going into the channels requiring effects,
and with their level faders pushed up half-way or farther (remember, the EFX sends are
post-fader), simply increase the EFX send control levels on those channels until some
Digital Effects Clip LED activity is observed. Then turn EFX send levels down slightly
until the flashing stops.
Effects Cue Button & LED
This feature allows you to preview effects via headphones. First, depress the Cue
button - the LED will illuminate to indicate CUE “on”. Now, with the desired channel’s EFX send controls turned up roughly half-way, the Headphone Crossfader set
to Cue and the Phones level control turned up, Select and Modify the desired effect.
To add that effect to your main program mix, press the Cue button again (Cue LED
goes off) and slide the Headphone Crossfader from Cue to Pgm.
6
Phones Jack, Level Control & Sources
The Phones jack accepts standard stereo headphones. The Phones level control and
Phones jack are located in the lower right area of the control panel. The sources for
all headphone signals are the Mains (or Pgm) and Cue buses.
Level Displays & Display Assign Button
These displays follow either the Left and Right stereo main mix activities or Cue (anything on Cue) and Pgm (a mono mix of the main program), as selected by the Display
Assign button. If either or both of the red Clip lights at the right end of the level display is flashing too much of the time in L/R mode, lower the Mains master level to
avoid possible distortion on peaks.
L & R Amp In Jacks
These are switching jacks, which enable you to directly access either or both channels of the built-in power amplifier while disconnecting them from their normal internal functions. This permits you to insert an external EQ, a processor /crossover (e.g.
élite) or a compressor/limiter between the mixer section’s Main Outputs and the Amp
In jacks. This in-series patch provides the 100% signal processing essential for these
functions to work properly.
