DN78 Super Stereo Rotary Mixer Set up with a PA System

0:00 Correct procedure for turning your appliances

Alright guys, I have in front of me the DN78, the rotary mixer from Super Stereo. I'll put a link in the description to the Super Stereo website along with a link to the track I'm going to be using from Karmic Power Records. Lenny Fontana, raise your hands. In this video I'm going to show you the correct procedure for turning your appliances on. Now at the moment I have got a KLA-12 from QSC. It's a line array speaker. This is a powered speaker. So I will explain how to turn on the system if you're using same as this a powered system alternatively a passive system in other words your mixer into an external amplifier from the external amplifier into a passive speaker not an active speaker which of course this is. Passive is a system with no internal amplification, active is a system where you have

Internal amplifiers powering the speaker. The KLA-12 is an active system. So the first thing to do is to turn on your speaker. Also, I have got to make sure that the volume on the speaker is to the minimum. It's low, it's off. So no volume, the attenuator, the gain control is turned all the way down prior to turning the speaker on even. Very important. Now then, if we were let's say going to turn on an amplifier you'd have to make sure of course that the gain controls are completely off, turn the amplifier on. That's the first thing to do. The next thing to do is turn your mixer on. So I'm gonna turn that on like that. Now that's number two. The third thing to do of course is then to turn the volume up on your powered speaker or turn the gain control up

On your external amplifier and then away you go so what we can do now is play and we're having lots of fun we're playing a tune this is Lenny Fontana raise your hands beautiful tune the ridney remix okay so we've done our gig everyone's jumped around we've had a wonderful time so we just turn stuff off no we don't this is how we turn stuff off the first thing to do is to turn down the volume On your powered speaker. Alternatively, turn the gain controls down on your external amplifier. The next thing to do is to turn the amplifier or your powered speaker off. Secondly, the third thing to do then of course is to turn off your mixer. Alright, now you'll notice that I've still got the CD player on. It doesn't really matter about the CD player. You can turn your CD player on or off at any point so long as the volume control is down because CD players are very clever when they're not playing any audio there is nothing going into the system but if you're using vinyl turntables all you've got to do is make sure of course the needle is off
