PRO MIXER DJX700

2. CONTROL ELEMENTS

it can be raised (+12 dB). This function can be very useful

when, for example, fading a frequency range out of a

music track.

The overall level also depends on the EQ setting.

Thus, you should adjust the equalizer before

setting the input gain with the TRIM control.
The 10-digit LED chains display the signal level of the input

signals.
Adjust the channel volume using the CHANNEL fader.

2.2 Microphone channel

The MIC IN connector is the balanced XLR input for your

dynamic microphone.
Set the volume of the microphone signal with the TRIM

control in the MIC section.
There is a 3-band equalizer (HI, MID and LOW, no kill

characteristic) in the microphone section. This allows you

to fine-tune your voice to adapt perfectly to your sound.
Activate the microphone channel using the MIC ON switch.

The channel is active when the corresponding LED is lit.
The PRO MIXER is equipped with a talkover function, which

works very simply: if you speak into the microphone while

a track is running, the volume of the music is automatically

reduced, so that your voice is always in front. The TALK

control allows you to determine how much the music volume

is lowered (max. -24 dB). This function can come in handy

when your own voice needs to be prominently heard, as in

when making an announcement etc.

2.3 MONITOR section

The MONITOR signal is your headphones signal, allowing you

to listen to music without affecting the MASTER output signal.

When the MODE switch is in the Split position, channel

PFL is located on the left side of the stereo image, while the

MASTER signal is on the right. In this case, the MIX control

(see below) serves no function. While in Stereo mode,

you can use the MIX control to alternate between MASTER

signal and PFL.
When in Stereo mode, the MIX control lets you determine

which signal can be heard via the headphones. When the

control is turned to its left-most position (CUE), you hear

the headphone signal only; when the control is turned to its

right-most position, you hear the MASTER signal only.

Alternating the MIX control between the two end positions

lets you dermine the relative ratio between the two signals

in your headphones.
The LEVEL control determines the volume of the

headphones signal.
Connect you headphones using the unbalanced PHONES

OUT connector. Your headphones should have a minimum

impedance of 32 Ohms.
To select the PFL signal for the headphones, use the

MONITOR CUE keys (CH-1 to CH-4, MASTER,

EFFECTS). You can also select multiple signal sources

and listen to them simultaneously. LEDs on corresponding

keys are lit when a channel is routed to the headphones.

2.4 MASTER section

The LEVEL METER displays the level of the MASTER signal.
The MASTER fader allows you to adjust the output volume

at the MASTER output (see

The MASTER BALANCE control for the MASTER output

is for setting the stereo image.

The BOOTH LEVEL control adjusts the output level of the

BOOTH output (see

2.5 CROSSFADER section

ASSIGN A and ASSIGN B selectors let you determine which

input signals are routed to CROSSFADER sides A and B.

You can also alternate between these two signals by using

the CROSSFADER (see below).
The VCA CONTROLLED CROSSFADER is used to fade

between the channels you have selected (see

). Like

the channel faders, the crossfader section is equipped

with a professional 45-mm fader.
The TIME OFFSET LED indicates the synchronisation of

tracks (see chapter 2.7).
The TEMPO DIFFERENCE LED displays tempo

differences between the tracks (see chapter 2.7).
A 3-band kill switch is available for use with both the left

and the right side of the crossfader (KILL A and KILL B

respectively). Kill switches are used to lower three separate

frequency ranges (LOW, MID and HIGH) up to -32 dB.

When using the kill switch, the equalizer of ordinary DJ

mixers usually loses its functionality. Not the case with the

DJX700: the EQs can be used to achieve an even more

pronounced lowering of a particular frequency range.
The CF CURVE control lets you alter the control

characteristic of the crossfader between linear and

logarithmic in an infite number of steps. When set to linear,

the crossfader engages directly proportionally to the

faders incremental movement. When set to logarithmic,

the faders movement yields higher volume increases as

the fader moves farther along its range of motion.

2.6 XPQ 3D surround effect

The XPQ 3D surround function is a built-in effect that puts the

finishing touch to your music and turns every gig into a real

experience. The widening of the stereo base makes for a livelier,

more transparent sound. You can determine the intensity of the

effect by using the SURROUND control

, while the XPQ ON

switch

turns the XPQ effect on (the respective LED is lit).

2.7 Auto BPM counter

The integrated auto BPM counter is an extremely useful feature.

It ensures smooth transition from one track to the next, taking a

lot of the guesswork out. It can calculate the various tempos of

tracks in BPM (beats per minute). Both BPM counter sections are

identical and both show the BPM value of the two signals routed

to the crossfader. The LEDs located above the DISPLAYs 1 - 4

indicate which of the four input channels are routed to the

respective BPM counter.

The tempo of the track assigned by using the ASSIGN A or

ASSIGN B keys is shown in the respective DISPLAY

Several tempo changes in one track would produce a constant

display of various BPM values and thus lead to unnecessary

confusion. Thats why the beat counter sections each have a

SYNC LOCK button

that can be used during the song to limit

the range of possible tempo values. This makes sense if the

counter has already calculated a realistic value. You can do the

same thing manually with the BEAT ASSIST button

. Pushing

this button at least three times in sync with the songs tempo

results in the calculated tempo appearing in the DISPLAY. The

BEAT ASSIST and SYNC LOCK buttons are each equipped with

a LED.

When you have limited the tempo of the tracks on both channels

with the SYNC LOCK or BEAT ASSIST buttons, the difference in

tempo from both channels is illustrated in the form of a nine-

character message on the TEMPO DIFFERENCE-LED

The extent of the difference in tempo is indicated by a

corresponding swing to the right (signal A is slower) or to the
