CAUTIONS:
1. All instructions should be read before using this equipment.
2. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not open the unit. Please
refer all servicing needs to a Gemini-qualified service technician.
3. Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or a heat source such as a
radiator or stove.
4. This unit should be cleaned only with a damp cloth. Avoid solvents or
other cleaning detergents.
5. When moving this equipment it should be placed in its original 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 CON-
TROLS, SURFACES OR SWITCHES.
CONNECTIONS:
1. Ensure that the POWER (1) switch is in the OFF position prior to
making any connections. This unit comes with a 15 V AC adaptor. Plug
the adaptor into the rear panel POWER JACK (2) before plugging it into
a proper power source.
2. The PMX-02 has one output located on the back panel, the MASTER
RCA OUTPUT. Plug the MASTER RCA OUTPUT (3) into your main
amplifier to the main amplifier using standard audio cables with RCA-
type connectors.
3. Headphones may be plugged into the front panel-mounted HEAD-
PHONES (9) ¼" jack.
4. Microphones may be plugged into the front panel-mounted MICRO-
PHONE (8) ¼" jack.
5. The PMX-02 has 2 CONVERTIBLE PHONO/LINE RCA INPUTS
located on the back panel on either side of the MASTER RCA INPUTS.
Facing the back panel, the convertible RCA Input on your right is for
PHONO 1/ LINE 1 (31). The convertible RCA input on your left is for
PHONO 2/ LINE 3 (6). Using the PHONO/ LINE SWITCH(ES) (4,28),
located just below each input, you may convert the PHONO to LINE and
vice versa. Plug the RCA's from your playable medium into each input to
be connected to their respective CHANNELS (20,27). The PHONO
INPUTS (6, 31) only accept turntables with a magnetic cartridge. The
STEREO LINE INPUTS (6,7,30,31) only accept line level inputs such as
a CD, DAT, MiniDisc, etc and require the proper switch setting.
6. When using (a) turntable(s), you will need to ground the RCA
cable(s) by screwing in the grounding fork(s) to the GROUNDING
SCREWS (5,29)located in the back panel of the PMX-02 mixer. Attach
each PHONO ground line to the DUAL GROUND THUMB SCREWS (9).
This is located adjacent to each PHONO INPUT (6, 31).
NOTE: Not attaching a ground may cause a system "hum."
OPERATION:
1. POWER ON: Once all equipment connections have been made,
press POWER (1) switch. Power is ON when the VU METER (10) power
LEDs are illuminated.
2. CHANNEL 1: The GAIN (19), HIGH (16), MID (17), and LOW (18)
controls allow you to fully adjust the selected source. The PH-1/LN-1
(31) switch located on the rear panel allows you to select PHONO 1 or
LINE 1. The PHONO1/LINE1-LINE 2 (11) switch located on the front
allows you to switch from PHONO 1 to LINE 2 or LINE 1 to LINE 2.
CHANNEL 1 SLIDE (20) controls the input level of this channel.
3. CHANNEL 2: The GAIN (23), HIGH (24), MID (25), and LOW (26)
controls allow you to fully adjust the selected source. The PH-2/LN-3 (6)
switch a located on the rear panel allows you to select PHONO 2 or
LINE 3. The PHONO2/LINE3-LINE 4 (22) switch located on the front
allows you to switch from PHONO 2 to LINE 3 or LINE 1 to LINE 4.
CHANNEL 2 SLIDE (27) controls the input level of this channel.
4. CROSSFADER SECTION: The CROSSFADER (21) allows the mix-
ing of one source into another. The left side of the CROSSFADER (21)
is CHANNEL 1 and the right side is CHANNEL 2. The CROSSFADER
(21) in your unit is removable and if the need arises can be easily
replaced. Your Gemini mixer comes with an RG-45 PRO (RAILGLIDE™)
Dual-Rail Crossfader. Rail Glide™ crossfaders have internal dual stain-
less steel rails that allow the slider to ride smoothly and accurately from
end to end. Also available is our CF-45 PRO (PROGLIDE™) Dual-Rail
Crossfader. This unique crossfader features, state of the art conductive
plastic technology, for unlimited useage. Another crossfader we have
available is the PSF-45 (PRO SCRATCH™) crossfader with a special
curve designed for scratch mixing. Just purchase one from your Gemini
dealer and follow the instructions:
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.
5. CUE: Cue facilitates the seamless blending of one recorded track into
another. Connecting a set of headphones to the HEADPHONES jack
allows you to monitor either Channel 1 or Channel 2. Select Channel 1
by moving CUE FADER (13), located on the face panel, to CUE 1 on the
left. Listen to Channel 2 by moving CUE FADER to CUE 2 on the right.
To mix both Channels bring CUE to the middle so that both tracks may
be heard. Use CUE VOLUME (14) to adjust the headphone volume with-
out affecting the speaker-driven mix.
6. MIC SECTION: Connecting a microphone to the 1/4” MIC JACK (8)
allows voice amplification through the mixer to the stereo through the
MASTER OUTPUTS (3) . This is controlled by the MIC VOLUME rotary
control (12).
7. DISPLAYS: The LED METER (10) indicates the MASTER OUTPUT
(3) left and right channel levels combined. LED METER (10) reflects the
GAIN (19,23), HIGH (16,24), MID (17, 25) and LOW (18, 26) rotary con-
trol adjustments. The CHANNNEL SLIDES (20, 27) also affects the LED
METERS (10).
