MID (47), LOW (48) controls located to the left of the CH 4
FADER CONTROL (49).
NOTE: FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE, BEGIN PROGRAM MIX WITH
ROTARY GAIN (23, 30, 37, 44) CONTROLS SET TO NOON (ROTATE IT TO THE
MIDDLE POSITION). MAKE ALL ADJUSTMENTS IN SOUND OUTPUT WITH
THE USE OF YOUR CHANNEL FADER CONTROLS (28, 35, 42, 49), ZONE (56),
BALANCE (55), AND MASTER (57) VOLUME ROTARY CONTROLS. THIS WILL
PREVENT SIGNAL OVERLOAD & DECREASE DISTORTION. ONCE YOU
HAVE MODIFIED YOUR SOUND & WOULD LIKE TO INCREASE THE OUTPUT
OF YOUR SOUND, THEN YOU MAY ADJUST THE ROTARY GAIN CONTROLS
IF NEEDED.
6. ASSIGN: There are 2 rotary controlled ASSIGN SWITCHES
(61, 62), each having 5 settings 1, 2, 3, 4 or OFF). The LEFT
(61) assign control allows you to direct CH 1, 2, 3, 4 through the
LEFT side of the CROSS FADER (63). The RIGHT (62) assign
switch allows you to direct CH 1, 2, 3, 4 through the RIGHT side
of the CROSS FADER (63). When the ASSIGN SWITCH(es)
(61, 62) are at OFF, you will not have a CH assigned to the
CROSS FADER (63). This allows you to control the PGM with
the use of the respective CH SLIDE CONTROLS, thus layering
the PGM with up to four CHs.
7. CROSS FADER SECTION: The CROSS FADER (63) allows
you to mix from one source to another. The mixer features an
assignable CROSS FADER (63). The ASSIGN SWITCHES (61,
62) allow you to select which channel will play through each side
of the CROSS FADER (63). The CROSS FADER (63) in your
unit is removable and if the need arises can be easily replaced.
Your Gemini mixer comes with an RG-45 (RAILGLIDE™)
DUAL-RAIL CROSS FADER. RAIL GLIDE™ CROSS FADERS
have internal dual stainless steel rails that allow the slider to ride
smoothly & accurately from end to end. Another CROSS FADER
we have available is the RG-45 PRO (PRO SCRATCH™)
CROSS FADER with a special curve designed for scratch mix-
ing. Just purchase one from your Gemini dealer & follow the
instructions:
USER REPLACEABLE CROSS
FADER
1. UNSCREW THE OUTSIDE MIXER FACE PLATE SCREWS AND
REMOVE THE FACE PLATE. THEN REMOVE FADER PLATE SCREWS
(B & C).
2. CAREFULLY LIFT THE
FADER AND UNPLUG THE
CABLE (D).
3. PLUG THE NEW FADER
INTO THE CABLE AND
PLACE IT BACK IN THE
MIXER.
4. SCREW FADER PLATE
TO THE MIXER AND
REPLACE THE MIXER FACE
PLATE.
NOTE: DO NOT APPLY PRESSURE WHILE USING THE CROSSFADER.
LIGHTLY GLIDE THE CROSSFADER BACK AND FORTH. PRESSING DOWN
ON THE CONTROLS CAN BEND CONTACTS AND CAUSE A LOSS OF
SOUND.
8. OUTPUT SELECTION CONTROL: Once you are comfort-
able with the sound level of your music you may adjust the vol-
ume with the MASTER (57) rotary control. You may adjust the
volume of the ZONE (6) output with the ZONE (56) rotary con-
trol. You may also adjust the stereo pan balance from left to right
with the BALANCE (55) rotary control.
9. CUE: By connecting a set of headphones to the HEAD-
PHONE (58) 1/4" jack, you can monitor any or all CH(s). Press
CUE buttons (24, 31, 38, 45) for CH 1 through CH 4 to assign
the CH(s) to be monitored. The respective CUE LED indicators
will glow when in use. Use the CUE (59) rotary control to adjust
the cue volume without changing the overall mix. By moving the
CUE/PGM FADER CONTROL (60) to the LEFT you will be able
to monitor the assigned cue signal. Moving the control to the
RIGHT allows you to monitor the PGM. Moving the CUE/PGM
FADER CONTROL (60) to the middle allows CUE mix with
PGM.
10. MIC SECTION: Plug your main mic into the XLR-1/4" (17)
jack located on the face panel. The rotary controls for HIGH (19)
& LOW (20) allow you to adjust the tone of MIC 1 (17). MIC 1
VOLUME (18) rotary control, above the HIGH(19)/LOW(20)
controls, adjusts the decibel level of MIC 1 (17). You may also
plug a second and third mic into the rear panel 1/4" MIC 2 (15)
and MIC 3 (8) inputs. The tone & decibel level of MIC 2 (15) and
MIC 3 (8) are controlled by the CH 1 (28) & CH 4 (49), fader con-
trols, respectively, the 3 band rotary EQ (HIGH (25, 46), MID
(26, 47), LOW (27, 48)) controls & GAIN (23, 44) rotary controls.
11. TALKOVER: The purpose of the TALKOVER (21) is to allow
the program playing to be attenuated so that the mic may be
heard above the music. The TALKOVER switch (21) controls
MIC 1 (17) and has 3 settings:
- When the TALKOVER (21) switch is in the BOTTOM position,
MIC 1 (17) and TALKOVER (21) are OFF.
- When the TALKOVER (21) switch is in the CENTER position,
MIC 1 (17) is ON. The LED INDICATOR glows when
TALKOVER (21) is OFF and MIC 1 (17) is on.
- When the TALKOVER (21) switch is in the TOP position, MIC
1 (17) and TALKOVER (21) are ON and the volume of all
sources except MIC 1 (17) is lowered by -16 dB.
12. VU METER: The VU METER (54) indicates the decibel level
of the MASTER (4, 3) output of the left & right stereo signals.
EFX SECTION:
NOTE: WHEN USING THE EFX SECTION, YOU MAY EXPERIENCE A TONAL
BOOST THAT WILL SEND YOUR MASTER OUTPUT LEVELS INTO THE BLUE
(0 THROUGH +11), AS INDICATED IN YOUR VU METER (54). ADJUST THE
CHANNEL FADERS (28, 35, 42, 49), IN ORDER TO PROTECT YOUR EQUIP-
MENT FROM A SYSTEM OVERLOAD. TO BEGIN EFX EXPERIMENTATION,
START WITH A LOW PARAMETER SETTING WITH YOUR CHANNEL FADERS
(28, 35, 42, 49) AT MID LEVEL. THEN MOVE SLOWLY THROUGH THE EFX
PARAMETERS TO EXAMINE THE TONAL BOOST, SAFELY.
The MM-04 is equipped with DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR
(DSP) effects. This means you may augment the audio output of
your program mix by processing tones through the 26 different
effects. When an audio signal is processed through the DSP, a
wide range of effects can be achieved with the MM-04 EFX sec-
tion. Please follow these instructions to operate the EFX section
of your mixer:
1. DRY/WET FADER: To control this section you must adjust the
DRY/WET FADER (53) in order to increase the level of the
effect. Glide the DRY/WET FADER (53) to the right to increase
the effect, saturating the PGM with WET effects. Glide the
DRY/WET FADER (53) to the left or DRY area to decrease the
effect, thus disabling all effects.
2. EFX ON/OFF: The EFX ON/OFF (50) button has multiple
functions:
- PGM MODE: Tap the EFX ON/OFF (50) button. The blue LED
will turn on to indicate that the DSP effects feature has been
engaged in PGM mode. Tap the EFX ON/OFF (50) button again
and the DSP effects will be disengaged as the LED turns off.
When using the EFX ON/OFF (50) button, you will notice that
once an effect has been engaged, the effect will not change
when scrolling through the EFX selections, using the EFX
SELECTOR (51) as instructed below to find a new effect.
Adjusting the PARAMETER (52) rotary control setting will only
change the engaged effect. In order to change the effect you
must press the EFX ON/OFF (50) button to engage the next
effect and adjust PARAMETER settings.
- CUE MODE: For monitoring in your headphones without
changing the PGM, press and hold the EFX ON/OFF (50) button
until the button starts to blink slowly to indicate that the DSP
effects are engaged in CUE mode. To disengage the CUE
mode, press and hold the EFX ON/OFF (50) button until the
EFX ON/OFF (50) stops blinking.
To disengage the EFX in CUE mode, tap the EFX ON/OFF (50)
button, and you will monitor the CUE without effects. The EFX
