Operating Determinations
When installing this mixer, please make sure that the device is not exposed to extreme heat, moisture or dust! There should
not be any cables lying around. Doing so endangers you as well as others.
Do not operate the mixer in extremely hot (more than 30˚C / 100˚F) or extremely cold (less than 5˚C / 40˚F) surroundings.
Keep away from direct sunlight and heaters.
Operate the mixer only after becoming familiar with its functions. Do not permit operation by persons not qualified for
operating the mixer. Most damages are the result of unprofessional operation!
Never use spray cleaners to clean the faders! Never use solvents or abrasive detergents to clean the mixer! It is
recommended that you use a soft damp cloth. Please consider that unauthorized modifications on the device are
forbidden due to safety reasons!
Connections (Refer to diagrams on pages 3 & 4)
• Make sure that the power switch (1) is set to OFF. Before connecting other devices to the mixer, all units have to be
switched off and the Master Control (17) set to min.
• Make sure that the available voltage is not higher than stated on the voltage selector (25) before connecting to power.
• In order to obtain the highest sound quality, only use high quality American DJ®, Ameri-Cable™ cables for connecting
devices. Make sure that the cables are properly fixed.
• Connect your amplifier to the OUT MASTER jacks (23). Make sure that the channels are set properly.
• For recording, connect your tape recorder or cassette deck to the OUTPUT REC jacks (21). The REC OUT level will not
be influenced by the Master Control (17). You can set the output level with the channel faders (6), the tone controls (4),
and the GAIN control (3).
• Connect your microphone to the Microphone Input (23) on the rear panel. Make sure that the jacks are set properly.
(See diagram on page 4).
• Connect your record player(s) to the PHONO 1 jacks (16) and the PHONO 2 jacks (17) on the rear panel. You can only
control the record player signal after switching the PHONO/LINE switches (2) to phono. The signal is then controlled via
the CH-1 and CH-2 faders (4).
• The XDM-343 features three microphone inputs. The Canon Mic 3 jack (10) on the front panel is for 1/4” (6.3mm)
jack plugs and XLR-plugs. With the TALKOVER switch (1 1), you can attenuate all other signals without affecting the
microphone volume. The XDM-343 also features two more 1/4 inch (6.3mm) Mic jacks (27, 28) on the rear panel. You can
adjust the microphone volume using the CHANNEL faders. Make sure that the respective PHONO / LINE / MIC switch is
set to MIC.
• You can connect 2 record players using the PHONO 1 jacks (18) and PHONO 2 jacks (19) on the rear panel. You can
only control the record player signal after you switched the PHONO / LINE / MIC switches (5) to PHONO. The signal is
then controlled via the CH-1 and CH-2 faders (6). If you wish to connect a third record player, switch the LINE 3 / PHONO
3 SELECTOR (29) on the rear panel to PHONO 3. You can only control the record player signal after you switched the
PHONO 3-LINE 3 / LINE 4 / MIC 3 switch (5) to PHONO 3. The signal is then controlled via the CHANNEL 3 fader (6).
• Connect your tape recorder, tuner, sound effects, CD player, cassette deck or any other line signals to the AMP OUTjacks
(18, 19 & 20) on the rear panel. You can only control the line signals after switching the PHONO/LINE/MIC switches (5)
to LINE. The signal is then controlled via the CH-1, CH-2 and CH-3 faders (6).
