Getting Started Connections Basic Operations Effector Function Fader Start USB Utility Specifications Troubleshooting Main Features The basic configuration of this unit consists of 4 CD and PHONO inputs, 4 digital inputs, 2 microphone inputs, 2 master outputs, 1 booth output, 1 REC output and 1 digital output while 1 effect input/ output and 4 USB audio input/output systems are also provided. This unit is also a DJ full digital mixer which supports 96 kHz/32-bit digital-to-analog conversion and which comes with USB MIDI and terminal output MIDI interface functions. 1. Design oriented toward achieving a high sound quality • The unit features a 96 kHz/32-bit floating digital signal processor (DSP) and 32-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) (master output). A sound quality faithful to the original sources is delivered at a high degree of accuracy. • The unit incorporates a mic amplifier with a discrete transistor configuration and a low equivalent input noise of 127 dB as well as a phono amplifier with a discrete FET configuration and a signal-tonoise ratio of 89 dB. • A low-noise R-core transformer is employed for the analog power transformer. Large-capacity DENON DJ custom electrolytic capacitors are used in the power supply unit. Furthermore, film capacitors designed to enhance the sound quality and high-precision metal film resistors help to configure the audio signal processing unit. The result is a sound quality which is overwhelmingly high. 3. Dual effect • The unit comes with 2 independent effectors which are linked to the number of beats which has been set in synchronization with the number of beats per minute (BPM) of the musical compositions. In addition to the newly developed BeatBreaker, a total of 11 different effectors including delay, echo, reverberation, looping, flanger, phaser and pitch shift are incorporated. • The effect send configuration makes it possible to send multiple input channel signals to the effector at the same time. This enables presentations based on effect groups by system A or B, for example. 4. USB audio and MIDI interfaces • 8-channel (4 stereo channels) 96 kHz USB audio input/output function • ASIO driver which achieves a low latency packed together with the unit • USB assign switch function enabling system switching for the USB audio inputs using one button • Also available is a MIDI layer function for controlling the DJ software on a channel by channel basis. MIDI output is enabled for almost all other operations involving the panel controls. • The 5-pin DIN MIDI output terminals provided support synchronization with external devices. 2. Operating ease and high-reliability design tailored for professional use • Large-sized 3.5-inch color LCD • Matrix source selectors enabling the user to select any of 6 input sources • Long-life conductive plastic faders with a long stroke of 60 mm guaranteed to be serviceable for 300,000 operations are provided for the Channel Fader. • The crossfader's slide torque can be adjusted to achieved the desired feeling. • Isolator equalizers are incorporated for each input channel. It is also possible to customize the crosspoint frequencies of the bands using presets. • The headphone amplifier is a discrete transistor drive type with a push-pull configuration. A high output power of 400mW/40 ohms is delivered to support surefire monitoring in any kind of environment. 5. Other features • The preset import/export function makes it possible to carry around the preset data stored on an USB memory or other such device. This reduces the preparation time. • Ducking function for reducing the amount of background sound during mic input • Channel Fader and Crossfader start function 2
