Configuración

Follow these steps to properly set up your DJX400 mixer.

1. Desembalaxe e inspección

  • Retire con coidado a batedora da súa embalaxe.
  • Inspeccione a unidade para detectar calquera sinal de dano que se puidese producir durante o transporte. Se atopa danos, póñase en contacto co seu distribuidor inmediatamente.
  • Ensure all accessories, including the power cable, are present.

2. Conexión de fontes de son

The DJX400 features two dual-input stereo channels. Each channel can accept either PHONO (turntable) or LINE (CD player, media player) level signals.

  • PHONO Inputs (RCA): Connect turntables to the PHONO inputs. Ensure your turntables have a ground wire connected to the mixer's ground terminal (if available) to reduce hum.
  • LINE Inputs (RCA): Connect CD players, media players, or other line-level audio devices to the LINE inputs.
  • MIC Input (1/4" TRS): Connect a microphone to the 1/4" TRS input on the front panel.

3. Conexión de saídas de audio

  • MASTER Output (RCA): Connect this output to your main PA system or amplifier. This is your primary audio output.
  • BOOTH Output (RCA): Connect this output to a monitor speaker system in your DJ booth. This allows you to hear your mix independently of the main output.
  • REC Output (RCA): Connect this output to a recording device (e.g., a digital recorder, computer audio interface) to capture your mix.
  • HEADPHONE Output (1/4" TRS): Connect your headphones to this jack for monitoring.

4. Conexión de alimentación

  • Asegúrese de que o interruptor de alimentación da batedora estea na posición de apagado.
  • Connect the provided power cable to the mixer's power inlet and then to a suitable AC power outlet.
  • Power on your audio sources and amplifiers before turning on the mixer.
  • Finally, switch the DJX400 power ON.

En funcionamento

This section details the functions of the DJX400's controls and how to operate the mixer.

1. Controis de canle

Each of the two stereo channels features the following controls:

  • INPUT SELECT Switch: Toggles between PHONO and LINE inputs for the respective channel.
  • Control GAIN: Adjusts the input sensitivity for the channel. Set this so the channel's peak LED occasionally flashes, but does not stay lit.
  • 3-Band KILL EQ: Provides -32 dB attenuation for HIGH, MID, and LOW frequencies. Use these to sculpt the sound of each track.
  • Atenuador de canles: Controls the volume level of the individual channel.
  • PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) Button: Routes the channel's audio to the headphone output for monitoring before it reaches the main mix.

2. Crossfader

The DJX400 features a super-smooth dual-rail "Ultraglide" crossfader designed for up to 500,000 life cycles.

  • CROSSFADER: Blends between Channel 1 and Channel 2. Moving it to the left emphasizes Channel 1, and to the right emphasizes Channel 2.
  • CROSSFADER CURVE Control: Adjusts the response curve of the crossfader. A sharp curve is ideal for scratching, while a smooth curve is better for blending.

3. Sección mestra

  • NIVEL MÁSTER: Controls the overall output volume of the mixer to the main PA system.
  • BOOTH LEVEL: Adjusts the volume of the BOOTH output for your monitor speakers.
  • NIVEL DE MICROFONO: Controls the volume of the microphone input.
  • XPQ 3D SURROUND: Activates and adjusts the XPQ 3D surround effect, which widens the stereo image and adds transparency to the sound. Turn the knob to increase the effect.

4. Headphone Section

  • NIVEL DE AURICULARES: Axusta o volume da saída dos auriculares.
  • PFL/MAIN MIX Control: Blends between the PFL (pre-fader listen) signal and the main mix in your headphones.
  • SPLIT/STEREO Switch: In SPLIT mode, the PFL signal is sent to one ear and the main mix to the other. In STEREO mode, both signals are mixed in stereo.

5. Contador de BPM

The intelligent dual auto-BPM counter displays the beats per minute for both channels, aiding in beatmatching.

  • The display shows the BPM for the active channel or the channel selected for PFL.
  • Use the BPM display to visually match the tempo of two tracks before crossfading.
