Akai AMX - Manual (Page 4)

4
Features
1. USB Port: Use a standard USB cable
to connect this USB port to your
computer. The computer's USB port
provides ample power to AMX. This
connection is also used to send and
receive MIDI data to and from your
computer.
2. Master Output (RCA): Use standard
RCA cables to connect this output to
a speaker or amplifier system. The
level of this output is controlled by the
Master knob.
3. Line/Phono Inputs (RCA): Connect
your audio sources to these inputs.
These inputs can accept both line and
phono-level signals.
4. Grounding Terminal: If using phono-
level turntables with a grounding wire,
connect the grounding wire to these
terminals. If you experience a low
"hum" or "buzz", this could mean that
your turntables are not grounded.
Some turntables have a grounding
wire built into the RCA connection
and, therefore, nothing needs to be
connected to the grounding terminal.
5. Headphones (1/8" / 3.5 mm):
Connect your 1/8" (3.5 mm)
headphones to this output for cueing
and mix monitoring.
6. Shift: Press and hold this button to
access the secondary functions (in red
lettering) of other controls on AMX.
7. Touch: Press this button to activate
the functions of AMX's touch-
capacitive knobs: the Channel
Treble, Channel Mid, Channel Bass,
and Channel Filter. When the Touch
button is activated (Touch Mode),
touch any of these knobs to activate
or deactivate their corresponding
functions momentarily.
8. Panel / View: Press this to toggle
through the Recording (Rec), Effects
(FX), Sampler (SP-6), and Flip panels.
Press and hold Shift and then press
this button to toggle through the
available software display modes.
