SSM-60 (320-1214) Preparation Faxback Doc. # 15475 Presetting the Controls WARNING: A sudden high output from the mixer could damage the audio devices connected to the mixer's output and your hearing, especially if you use headphones. To avoid accidentally overdriving a channel or prematurely mixing in an audio input, adjust the mixer's controls to these settings before you connect the AC power cord or turn on power. Control Setting Power On/Off Off Tone Control Bass and Treble 0 Mono/Stereo Stereo Mic, Source 1, Source 2, Source 3, Source 4 0 Cross Fader Center Monitoring: Source Mic Volume 0 CONNECTING THE OUTPUTS To avoid sudden and unusable sound outputs from the audio devices, adjust the audio devices' controls to these settings before you connect the mixer's output jacks to the audio devices' input jacks. Audio Device Control Setting Tape Deck Power Off Amplifier/ Power Off Receiver Tone Flat To play the mixer's output signal through the speaker system (for events such as parties, dances, conferences, etc.), connect an audio patch cord (not supplied) from the mixer's OUTPUT R and L jacks to the receiver/ amplifier's left and right auxiliary input jacks. To record the mixer's output signal, connect an audio patch cord (not supplied) from the mixer's REC R and L jacks to the tape deck's left and right input jacks. CONNECTING THE INPUTS To mix up to seven audio input sources (such as a microphone, tuner, tape deck, CD player, magnetic-cartridge turntable, camcorder, or VCR), connect them to the input jacks, 1 on the front panel and 6 on the back of the mixer. Only four inputs can be mixed at the same time. CAUTION: Do not connect an audio source with a high-level output into the low-level MIC, MIC 1, MIC 2, PHONO 1 or PHONO 2 audio input jacks. An audio source's output is high-level if you can raise or lower its volume with its volume control. 1. Connect a microphone (not supplied) with a 1/4 inch plug into MIC on the tip left corner of the front panel. This is the DJ's microphone. 2. Connect up to two low-level output audio sources (such as two additional stereo microphones, not supplied) with a 1/4 inch plug to the MIC 1 and MIC 2 jacks on the back of the mixer. These are the performance microphones. NOTE: The local Radio Shack store sells a wide selection of microphones. 3. Connect up to two low-level output audio sources (such as magnetic- cartridge turntables) to PHONO 1 and PHONO 2. NOTES: If you connect magnetic-cartridge turntables, connect their ground wires (usually black or green) to GND. You can connect any audio source's low-level output to either PHONO 1 or PHONO 2. 4. Connect up to two high-level output audio sources (such as a tuner, cassette tape deck, CD player, camcorder, or VCR) to VIDEO/CD 1 and LINE/CD 2. NOTE: You can connect any high-level output audio source to either VIDEO/CD 1 or LINE/CD 2. 5. Connect the small end of the supplied AC adapter to the AC 18V jack on the back of the mixer and connect the other end to a standard AC outlet. CAUTION: The supplied adapter is UL listed. It supplies 18 volts AC and delivers the required 300 milliamps to the mixer. The center tip is set to negative and its plug properly fits the mixer's AC 18V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could seriously damage the mixer or the adapter. (TE/all-06/01/95)
