CONNECTIONS:
1. Before plugging in the 15V AC ADAPTER (1), you will notice the VU
METER LED(10) will not be lit. Plug in the 15V AC ADAPTER(1) into the
PMX-01 mixer and then into a proper power source. The VU METER
(10) power LEDs will light up upon plugging the 15V AC(1) into the power
outlet.
2. The PMX-01 has one output located on the back panel, the MASTER
RCA OUTPUT(2). Plug the MASTER RCA OUTPUT(2) into your main
amplifier in order for sound to play through your home stereo system.
3. The PMX-01 has 2 CONVERTIBLE PHONO/LINE RCA INPUTS located
on the back panel on either side of the MASTER RCA OUTPUT(2). Facing
the back panel, the convertible RCA Input on your right is for PHONO 1/
LINE 1(6). The convertible RCA input on your left is for PHONO 2/ LINE
2(4). The PHONO 1/ LINE 1 SWITCH (5) is located just above and to the
left of the PHONO 1/LINE 1 RCA INPUT(6). You may convert from
PHONO 1 to LINE 1. The PHONO 2/LINE 2 SWITCH(3) is also located
just above and to the left of the PHONO 2/LINE 2 RCA INPUT(4). You
may convert from PHONO 2 to LINE 2. Plug the RCA's from your
playable medium into each input to be connected to their respective
CHANNELS. The PHONO INPUTS only accept turntables with a magnetic
cartridge. When using (a) turntable(s), you will need to ground the RCA
cable(s) by screwing in the grounding fork(s) to the GROUNDING
SCREW(7) located in the back panel of the PMX-01 mixer. This is located
just above the MASTER RCA OUTPUT. The STEREO LINE INPUTS
only accept line level inputs such as a CD, DAT, MiniDisc, etc.
NOTE: Not attaching a ground may cause a system "hum."
4. Headphones may be plugged into the front panel 1/4" HEADPHONE
JACK (9).
OPERATION:
1. POWER ON: When you have completed making all of your connections,
plug in the 15V AC(1) adapter to your PMX-01 mixer. The power will turn on
and the VU METER (10) power LEDs will glow brightly.
2. CHANNEL 1: PHONO 1/LINE 1(6) is controlled by the CHANNEL 1
SLIDE(16). GAIN(13), HIGH(14), and LOW(15) rotary controls adjust
CHANNEL 1 with a wide range of sounds.
3. CHANNEL 2: PHONO 2/LINE 2(4) is controlled by the CHANNEL 2
SLIDE(17). GAIN(18), HIGH(19), and LOW(20) rotary controls adjust
CHANNEL 2 with a wide range of sounds.
4. CROSSFADER SECTION: This section allows mixing from CHANNEL
1(16) to CHANNEL 2(17). The left side of your CROSSFADER(12) is
CHANNEL 1(16) while the right side of your CROSSFADER(12) is CHAN-
NEL 2(17). The CROSSFADER (12) in your unit is removable and if the
need arises can be easily replaced. Just purchase one from your Gemini
dealer and follow the instructions:
5. CUE SECTION: Connecting a set of headphones to the HEADPHONES
JACK(9) allows you to monitor either Channel 1 (16) or Channel 2 (17).
Select Channel 1 by moving CUE FADER (11) to the left. Listen to
CHANNEL 2 by moving CUE FADER (11) to the right. Use CUE VOLUME

Cue facilitates the seamless blending of one recorded track into another.

glide the crossfader back and forth. Pressing down on the con-
trols can bend contacts and cause a loss of sound.
