nal carton and packaging. This will reduce the risk of damage
during transit.
6. DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
7. DO NOT USE SPRAY CLEANERS OR LUBRICANTS ON

CONNECTIONS:
1. Before plugging this unit into any outlet, make sure that the
VOLTAGE SELECTION SWITCH (1) is set to the proper volt-
age. To change the selection, unscrew the hard plastic protec-
tive top with a Phillips head screw driver. Then use a flat head
screw driver to move the switch to the proper selection
(115V/230V). Replace the hard plastic protective top, and screw
into the unit.
2. Ensure that the POWER SWITCH (3) is in the OFF position
prior to making any connections. Plug into the rear panel
POWER JACK (2) before plugging it into a proper power
source.
NOTE: LOCATED BY THE POWER CORD JACK (2) IS A 250V FUSE (41) TO
PROTECT AGAINST ELECTRICAL SURGES. TO REPLACE THE FUSE,
PLACE A FLAT HEAD SCREWDRIVER INTO THE GROOVE LOCATED INSIDE
THE POWER CORD JACK (2) AND POP THE FUSE OUT. REPLACE THE FUSE
WITH ONLY A 250V FUSE.

3. The PMX-05 has 2 sets of outputs:
- The MASTER OUTPUT (4) jacks also connect to the main
amplifier with RCA cables.
- The REC OUTPUT (42) jacks can be used to connect the
mixer to the record input of your recording unit, thus enabling
you to record your mix by connecting these units with RCA
cables.
4. Headphones may be plugged into the front panel-mounted
HEADPHONES (16) ¼" jack.
5. Microphones may be plugged into the front panel-mounted
MICROPHONE (12) ¼" jack.
6. The PMX-05 has 2 CONVERTIBLE PHONO/LINE (7, 8) RCA
inputs located on the rear panel on either side of the MASTER
RCA (4) input. Facing the rear panel, the convertible RCA Input
on your right is for PHONO 1/ LINE 1 (8). The convertible RCA
input on your left is for PHONO 2/ LINE 3 (7). Using the
PHONO/ LINE CONVERTER (5, 6) SWITCHES, located just
below each input, you may convert the PHONO (PH) to LINE
(LN) and vice versa. Plug the RCA's from your playable medium
into each input to be connected to their respective channels
(CH). The PH INPUTS only accept turntables with a magnetic
cartridge. The STEREO LINE INPUTS only accept line level
inputs such as a CD, DAT, MiniDisc, etc and require the LINE
setting using the PH/LN CONVERTER (5, 6) switches.
7. When using (a) turntable(s), you will need to ground the RCA
cable(s) by screwing in the grounding fork(s) to the GROUND-
ING SCREWS (9) located in the rear panel of the PMX-05 mixer.
Attach each PH ground line to one of the DUAL GROUND
THUMB SCREWS (9). These are adjacent to each RCA PH
input.
NOTE: WHEN USING TURNTABLES, NOT ATTACHING A GROUND MAY
CAUSE A SYSTEM "HUM."
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. POWER ON: Once all equipment connections have been
made, press POWER SWITCH (3). Power is ON when the VU
METER LED (40) is illuminated.
2. CH 1: The GAIN (22), HIGH (23), MID (24), and LOW (25)
controls allow you to fully adjust the selected source. The PH-
1/LN-1 CONVERTER (6) switch located on the rear panel
allows you to select PH 1 or LN 1. The LN SWITCH (21) locat-
ed on the front allows you to switch from PH 1 to LN 2 or LN 1
to LN 2. CH 1 FADER (26) controls the input level of this chan-
nel.
3. CH 2: The GAIN (28), HIGH (29), MID (30), and LOW (31)
controls allow you to fully adjust the selected source. The PH-
2/LN-3 CONVERTER (5) located on the rear panel allows you to
select PH 2 or LN 3. The LN SWITCH (27) located on the front
allows you to switch from PH 2 to LN 4 or LN 3 to LN 4. CH 2
FADER (32) controls the input level of this channel.
NOTE: FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE, BEGIN PROGRAM MIX WITH
ROTARY GAIN (22, 28) CONTROLS SET TO ZERO (ROTATE IT COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE TO THE LEFT POSITION). MAKE ALL ADJUSTMENTS IN
SOUND OUTPUT WITH THE USE OF YOUR CH FADER CONTROLS (26, 32)
AND MASTER (39) VOLUME ROTARY CONTROLS. THIS WILL PREVENT SIG-
NAL OVERLOAD AND DECREASE DISTORTION. ONCE YOU HAVE MODI-
FIED YOUR SOUND AND WOULD LIKE TO INCREASE THE OUTPUT OF
YOUR SOUND, THEN YOU MAY ADJUST THE ROTARY GAIN CONTROL IF
NEEDED.
4. CROSSFADER SECTION: The CROSSFADER (33) allows
the mixing of one source into another. The left side of the
CROSSFADER (33) is CH 1 (26) while the right belongs to CH
2 (32). You may also reverse this default by flipping the
REVERSE (20) switch. See the CROSSFADER REVERSE sec-
tion for more info. The CROSSFADER (33) in your unit is remov-
able and if the need arises can be easily replaced. Your GEMINI
mixer comes with an RG-45 (RAILGLIDE™) DUAL-RAIL
CROSSFADER. RAIL GLIDE™ CROSSFADERS have internal
dual stainless steel rails that allow the slider to ride smoothly and
accurately from end to end. Also available is our is the RG-45
PRO (RAIL GLIDE™) CROSSFADER with a special curve
