Prior to use, we suggest that you carefully read all the instructions. Features • 4 Stereo Channels • State of the Art Cue Section • 1 Phono/Line Convertible, 2 Phono, 5 Line, and 3 Mic Inputs • Cut Feature for Low, Mid and High for each channel • Gain, High, Mid and Low tone controls for each channel • Talkover • Balanced and Unbalanced Master Outputs • Booth Output • Master Output Peak Hold LED Meters • Prefader Input Level Peak Hold LED Meters for each channel 5. On the rear panel are 1 stereo PHONO/LINE (53) input, 2 stereo PHONO (49, 51) inputs, and 5 stereo LINE (46, 47, 48, 50, 52) inputs. The PHONO/LINE SWITCH (55) enables you to set the (53) input to Phono or Line. The phono inputs will accept only turntables with a magnetic cartridge. A GROUND SCREW (54) for you to ground your turntables is located on the rear panel. The stereo line inputs will accept any line level input such as a CD player, a cassette player, etc. 6. Headphones can be plugged into the front panel mounted HEADPHONE (13) jack. Using the Ground Lift Switch Depending on your system configuration, sometimes applying the ground will create a quieter signal path. Sometimes lifting the ground can eliminate ground loops and hum to create a quieter signal path. 1. With the mixer on, listen to the system in idle mode (no signal present) with the ground applied (the GROUND LIFT SWITCH (59) in the bottom position). 2. Then turn the power off before moving the GROUND LIFT SWITCH (59). Lift the ground by moving the GROUND LIFT SWITCH to the top position, turn the power back on and listen to determine which position will provide a signal devoid of background noise and hum. Keep the GROUND LIFT SWITCH in the ground position if the noise level remains the same in either position. CAUTION: DO NOT TERMINATE THE AC GROUND ON THE POWER MIXER IN ANY WAY. TERMINATION OF THE AC GROUND CAN BE HAZARDOUS. Cautions Operation 1. Always test equipment before rack mounting. Retain a copy of your sales receipt for warranty purposes. 2. All operating instructions should be read before using this equipment. 3. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not open the unit. There are NO USER REPLACEABLE PARTS INSIDE. Please refer servicing to a qualified service technician. In the U.S.A., if you have any problems with this unit, call 1-732-738-9003 for customer service. Do not return equipmentto your dealer. 4.

DO NOT USE ANY SPRAY CLEANER OR LUBRICANT ON ANY CONTROLS OR SWITCHES. Connections 1. Before plugging in the power cord, make sure that the VOLTAGE SELECTOR (43) switch is set to the correct voltage. NOTE: This product is double insulated and not intended to b. grounded. 2. Make sure that the POWER (1) switch is in the off position. The POWER LED (2) will be off. 3. The BPM-1000 is supplied with 2 sets of amp output jacks. The BALANCED OUTPUT AMP (56) jacks are used to connect to your main amplifier using standard XLR cables. We recommend using the balanced amp outputs if the cables to your amp are 25 feet or more. Balanced outputs have three separate conductors, two of which are signal (positive and negative) and one shield (ground). Pin 1 is ground (shield). Pin 2 is signal hot (positive). Pin 3 is signal cold (negative). The OUTPUT AMP (44) jacks are unbalanced and used to connect to your main amplifier. The OUTPUT BOOTH (45) jacks allow you to hook up an additional amplifier. 4. The MIC 1 (3) input (found on the front panel) accepts a 1/4" or XLR connector. The MIC 2 (58) input and the MIC 3 (57) input (found on the rear panel) accept 1/4" connectors. All accept balanced and unbalanced microphones. 1. POWER ON: Once you have made all the equipment connections to your mixer, press the POWER SWITCH (1). The power will turn on and the POWER LED (2) will glow. 2. CHANNEL 1: The GAIN (14), HIGH (15), MID (16), and LOW (17) controls allow you to fully adjust the selected source. Switch # (18) allows you to select the PHONO 1/LINE 1 (53) or the LINE 2 (52) input. The CHANNEL SLIDE (19) controls the input level of this channel. 3. CHANNEL 2: The GAIN (14), HIGH (15), MID (16), and LOW (17) controls allow you to fully adjust the selected source. Switch # (21) allows you to select the PHONO 2 (51) or the LINE 3 (50) input. The CHANNEL SLIDE (22) controls the input level of this channel. 4. CHANNEL 3: The GAIN (14), HIGH (15), MID (16), and LOW (17) controls allow you to fully adjust the selected source. Switch # (23) allows you to select the PHONO 3 (49) or the LINE 4 (48) input. The CHANNEL SLIDE (24) controls the input level of this channel. 5. CHANNEL 4: The GAIN (14), HIGH (15), MID (...
