1. Introduction
The XS-3 is a sophisticated 2 channel DJ mixer which
allows the connection of many devices, and allows you
to mix in a creative way.
Following the sophisticated layout design, the XS-3
combines easy operation with a wide range of func-
tions.
It is VERY IMPORTANT that you read this manual
before connecting the mixer in order to obtain its max-
imum performance.
We recommend our authorised Technical Services
whenever any maintenance task should be needed so
that optimum operation shall be achieved.

1.1. Some notes and precautions

Treat the XS-3 as you would any other piece of preci-
sion equipment.
Avoid exposing it to extremes of temperature and
humidity and avoid mechanical shocks and vibration.
Keep the unit away from strong magnetic fields (TV
sets, computer monitors, large electric motors, etc.).
Environmental considerations
The XS-3 may be used in most areas, but to maintain
top performance, and prolong operating life, observe
the following environmental conditions:
The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and
35°C (41°F and 95°F).
Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 degrees non-con-
densing.

TASCAM XS-3
As the unit may become hot during operation, always
leave sufficient space above and around the unit for
ventilation.
Do not install this equipment in a confined space such
as a bookcase or similar unit.
You should not place the unit on a piece of equipment
generating heat, e.g. an amplifier, to avoid possible
problems with overheating.
XS-3 operates under 120, 50 Hz. Make sure that the
power cable is far away from the signal cables in order
to avoid any possible audio hum.
NOTE
When transporting the unit, always use the origi-
nal packing materials or a properly-designed
equipment case. For this reason, we strongly rec-
ommend that you save all the packing materials
that came with the XS-3, in case you need to
transport it in the future.
Connections to other equipment
It is extremely important that the power is turned off
on all units when making or breaking connections to or
from the XS-3.
When turning power on, it is usually a good idea to
start with the source (turntables, CD players, etc.), then
the XS-3 and finish with the amplifier system.
Turning power off should be done in the other direc-
tion (amplifiers first, then other equipment).
When turning the unit on again, wait for three seconds
or more after turning it off.

1.2. Serial number, etc.

The serial number of the XS-3 is located on a sticker at
the front of the unit on the bottom panel. Make a note
of this for future reference (warranty, etc.).
