need arise, can easily be replaced by following these
instructions. Note: Gemini replacement Crossfaders are
available in three varieties: the RG-45 PRO (RAIL GLIDE™) Dual-Rail

FADER PLATE SCREWS (B).

Crossfaders have internal dual stainless steel rails that allow the
slider to ride smoothly and accurately from end to end.
6. CROSSFADER SECTION: The CROSSFADER (21) allows the mixing
of one source into another. The PS-850i features an assignable
crossfader. The ASSIGN (20, 22) switches allow you to select
which channel will play through each side of the crossfader. The
ASSIGN (20) switch has 4 settings (1, 2, 3 or 4) and allows you to
select channel 1, 2, 3 or 4 to play through the left side of the
crossfader. The ASSIGN (22) switch has 4 settings (1, 2, 3 or 4)
and allows you to select channel 1, 2, 3 or 4 to play through the
right side of the crossfader. There are two OFF (60, 61) buttons for
the crossfader. When the OFF (60) button is pressed, the left side
of the crossfader will be inactive and the OFF LED (62) will light.
When the OFF (61) button is pressed, the right side of the
crossfader will be inactive and the OFF LED (63) will light. Using the
OFF button, be sure to deactivate the crossfader before changing
the ASSIGN setting. This will avoid any click or popping sound in
your signal while you are changing the assign setting.
7. LOOP: Removing the jumpers from the LOOP OUTPUT (42) and
INPUT (43) jacks will activate the loop. Any device connected to
the LOOP OUTPUT (42) and INPUT (43) jacks will be inserted into
the signal path.
HINT: BOOTH OUTPUT (40) is used by some DJs to run
monitor speakers in the DJ Booth. You can also use it as a
second ZONE or AMP output.
NOTE: The RECORD OUT (41) has no level control. The
level is set by the channel slides and the gain controls of the
selected channel. Tonal qualities are set by the LOW, MID and
HIGH controls of that same channel.
8. OUTPUT CONTROL: The level of the AMP OUT (38, 39) is
controlled by the MASTER (29) slide and BALANCE (28) control.
Activating the MONO (27) button (the mono LED will light) makes the
overall output mono. The BOOTH (26) control adjusts the level of the
BOOTH OUTPUT (40).
9. TALKOVER: The purpose of the talkover is to allow the program
playing to be muted so that the mic may be heard above the music.
The MIC/TALKOVER SWITCH (7) controls MIC 1 and MIC 2 and
has three settings.
• When MIC/TALKOVER (7) is in the BOTTOM position,
MIC and TALKOVER are OFF.
• When MIC/TALKOVER (7) is in the CENTER position, MIC is
ON. MIC INDICATOR (6) glows. TALKOVER is OFF.
• When MIC/TALKOVER SWITCH (7) is in the TOP position,
MIC and TALKOVER are ON and the volume of all sources
except MIC input is lowered by 16 dB. MIC 1 LEVEL (5)
controls the level of MIC 1. MIC 2 LEVEL (4) controls the
level of MIC 2.
10.CUE: By connecting a set of headphones to the HEADPHONE JACK
(36), you can monitor any or all of the channels. Press the CUE
ASSIGN (23) buttons for channels 1 - 4 to select the channel or
channels to be monitored and their respective LED indicators will
glow.
Use CUE LEVEL (33) control to adjust cue volume without affecting
the overall mix. By moving the CUE PGM PAN (35) control to the left
you will be able to monitor the assigned cue signal. Moving the
control to the right will monitor the PGM (program) output.
Use the CUE SPLIT (34) button to split the signals from cue and `
program so that cue will be heard in one earphone and program
in the other.
11. DISPLAY: The peak hold, dual function DISPLAY (24) indicates
either the MASTER (38, 39) output left and right levels OR the
selected cue and program (premaster output) levels. You can
choose the option you want by pressing the DISPLAY (25) button.
NOTE: When the DISPLAY is in the cue/program mode you
can increase or decrease the signal to match the other
channel’s signal simply by adjusting GAIN (8).
12.The TREBLE (2) and BASS (3) controls allow you to adjust
the tone of MIC 1 and MIC 2.
13.BPM DISPLAY: There are BPM DISPLAYS (57, 58) for the two
channels assigned to each side of the CROSSFADER (21). They
update approximately every 2.5 seconds and digitally display the
Beats Per Minute allowing you to match the beats visually. BPM
DISPLAY (57) reflects the Beats Per Minute of the channel assigned
to the left side of the CROSSFADER, and BPM DISPLAY (58)
reflects the Beats Per Minute of the channel assigned to right the
side of the CROSSFADER.
NOTE: A [- -] reading will appear on the BPM DISPLAY if
the track has unclear beats. The [- -] reading will also
appear if there is no signal present.
14.The BEAT OFFSET INDICATORS (59) light when the tracks of the
two channels assigned to the crossfader are within 11 BPMs of
each other and display how aligned the beats of the two channels
are. When the YELLOW LEDs light, the beats are almost aligned.
When the GREEN LED lights, the beats are aligned perfectly.
NOTE: If the difference between the two channel’s
beats exceed 11 BPM, the BEAT OFFSET INDICATORS
will not light.
SUGGESTION: You can use the BPM DISPLAYS to determine which
tracks have similar or the same Beats Per Minute. When mixing two
