GE X-9 User Manual

The X-9 has four sets of inputs, as well as the two 
built-in samplers and the microphone input, all of 
which can be mixed and used as sound sources.

There are a number of different signals that can be 
fed into the X-9: up to four turntables, and four other 

analog devices, and two digital devices, not to men-
tion the two internal samplers and the microphone.

In order to understand the X-9, it is necessary to get a 
basic idea of where the signals go.

These inputs are assigned to four mixer channels 
(modules), known as programs, and numbered from 
1 through 4, The levels of the programs are con-
trolled using program faders.

In addition, each program is equipped with 3-band 
sweppable sweepable EQ, with variable Q, and a trim 
control.

The left-right balance of each program is adjusted 
using the menu system with 

19b1

, 

20b2

, 

21b3

 and 

22b4

 (see “Menu reference” on page 17).

Use the switches on the top panel to change between 
the 

 and 

 inputs.

In addition, there is a key beside each of these 
switches, allowing you to choose different sources 
for the programs:

The keys for programs 1 and 2 allow the digital 
inputs to be selected as an alternative to the 

 pair. When the indicators for these keys are lit 

(the digital is selected), the 

 switch has 

no effect.

The keys for programs 3 and 4 allow input 2 to be 
selected for program 3 and/or input 1 to be selected 
for program 4. The meaning of inputs 1 and 2 is 
decided by the 

 switches for 1 and 2 

and by the digital selection keys.

When the inputs have been assigned, 
adjust the level fed to the equalizer, and 
then the fader, using the program’s 

 

control.

This provides 38 dB of adjustment. Note that turning 
this control too far clockwise with a powerful input 
signal may result in a distorted signal.

When the two program sources have been assigned 
as shown above (“About programs” on page 14), they 

can be transferred to the outputs through the cross-
fader and then through the master fader.
