IMPORTANT INFORMATION...
CHECK TO BE SURE
THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE IN THIS BOX:
(1) CD MIX-1
(1) OWNERS MANUAL (THIS BOOKLET)
(1) POWER ADAPTER
Please read this entire manual before connecting this unit to your system.
For optimum performance:
a)
Never use spray cleaners on the slide controls. Residues cause excessive dirt build-up and this
will void your warranty. In normal use slide controls can last for many years. If they malfunction
(usually because of a dirty or dusty environment) consult a professional technician.
b)
Always make sure that AC power is OFF while making any connections.
c)
Use appropriate cables throughout your system. Do not use excessively long cables (i.e. over
50ft/14m) Be sure plugs and jacks are tightly mated. Loose connections can cause hum, noise or
intermittents that could easily damage your speakers. Make the input and output connections with
readily available low-capacitance stereo cables. Quality cable makes a big difference in audio
fidelity and punch. See your Numark dealer or an electronics or audio specialist store if you are
not sure which cables to get.
d)
Never attempt to make any adjustments or repairs other than those described in this manual.
Take the unit to your dealer or to an authorized Numark Service Center.
e)
ALWAYS remember: “TURN AMPS ON LAST AND OFF FIRST”. Begin with master faders or
volume controls on minimum and the amplifier gain/input control(s) down. Wait 8 to 10 seconds
before turning up the volume. This prevents transients which may cause severe speaker damage.
f)
Use restraint when operating controls. Try to move them slowly. Rapid adjustments could damage
speakers due to amplifier clipping.
g)
Avoid amplifier “clipping” at all costs: this occurs when the red LEDs (usually on the front panel of
most professional power amplifiers) start flashing. “Clipping” is when the power amplifier is
distorting and working beyond it’s limits. Amplifier distortion is THE major cause of speaker failure.
h)
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. Never place cans of
beer, soda, glasses of water or anything wet on top of the unit!
