Gemini sound ex 26 service manual

Page 1

Congratulations on purchasing the Gemini EX-26 mixer! This state of the art mixer is backed by a three-year warranty, excluding crossfader and channel slides. We know youre anxious to hook everything up and start mixing beats and cranking up the volume on those hot dance tracks, but we suggest reading this instruction manual first as there are really cool features on this mixer that we wouldnt want you to miss! The EX-26 Mixer features a crossfader which controls a super-quiet photo coupler to give you smooth operation and the cleanest possible sound, along with a "hamster" switch that is easily accessible on the front of the mixer. This hamster switch reverses the direction of the main crossfader. This mixer also features individual hamster switches for the separate channel input faders as well. For additional information, refer to the diagrams on pages 1 & 2 for crossfader adjustment and channel slide curve. - 2 Stereo Channels - State of the Art Cue Section - 2 Phono & 2 Line Inputs - Channel Slide Curve Control - Crossfader with Curve Control - Adjustable Input Assign Switches - Crossfader Reverse (Hamster) Button - Individual Channel Fader Reverse (Hamster) Buttons - LED Display - Gain, High, Mid and Low tone controls for each channel - Balanced and Unbalanced Master Outputs - Record outputs 1.

This unit comes supplied with a 15 volt AC adaptor. Plug the adaptor into the rear panel power jack. Then plug the adaptor into your power strip or outlet. 2. The EX-26 mixer is supplied with 3 sets of output jacks. The BALANCED MASTER OUTPUT (2) jacks are used to connect to your main amplifier using standard cables with 1/4 connectors. We recommend using the balanced amp outputs if the cables to your amp are 25 feet or more. BALANCED MASTER OUTPUTS have three separate conductors, two of which are signal (positive and negative) and one shield (ground). The balanced line uses a tip-ring- sleeve connection. Tip = hot or positive (+), ring = cold or negative (-), and sleeve = shield/ground. The MASTER OUTPUT (3) jacks are unbalanced and are also used to connect to your main amplifier. The REC OUTPUT (4) jacks can be used to connect the mixer to the record input of your recorder enabling you to record your mix.
