kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool;
and the like.
ACCESSORIES
Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult and
serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any
mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer's instructions, and
should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
CART
A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart
combination to overturn.
POWER SOURCES
This product should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company.
LOCATION
The appliance should be installed in a stable location.
NONUSE PERIODS
The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the outlet when
left unused for a long period.
GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
If this product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a
plug having one blade wider than the other), it will fit into the outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully
into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug. If this product is equipped with a three-
wire grounding type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, it will only
fit into a grounding type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding type
plug.
POWER-CORD PROTECTION
Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked
on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the product.
OUTDOORS ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure
the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
LIGHTNING
For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is
left unattended and unused for long periods, unplug it from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the
product due to lightning and power-line surges.
POWER LINES
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead
power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into
such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or
circuits, as contact with them might be fatal.
OVERLOADING
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience
receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY - Never push objects of any kind into this
product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid
of any kind on the product.
SERVICING
Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.

service personnel under the following conditions:
When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product.
If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

restore the product to its normal operation.
If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a
need for service.

MIXER CONTROLS
General Mixer Controls for DM-950
1. AC In and Power Switch
This mixer is compatible only with the included power cable. Connect the AC plug into the jack on the rear of the mixer
(A.) The mixer should be switched on after all devices are already connected to prevent damage to your equipment. A
Red Power LED indicates that the unit has been switched on.
2. Master Volume
This rotary control adjusts the main output levels for any equipment connected to the Master Output on the rear panel
(B.) Turning the knob completely to the right increases the level and turning the knob completely to the left decreases
the level.
3. CH 1 Trim, Treble and Bass (4. applies to CH 2)
"Trim" (Input Level Trim)
This rotary control adjusts the input signal levels of the inputs. Turning the knob completely to the right (clockwise)
increases the level. Turning the knob completely to the left (counter clockwise) decreases the level.
"Treble" (Input Level High EQ)
This rotary control adjusts the high-tone sound of the inputs. Turning the knob completely to the right increases the
level. Turning the knob completely to the left decreases the level.
"Bass" (Input Level Low EQ)
This rotary control adjusts the low-tone sound of the inputs. Turning the knob completely to the right increases the
level. Turning the knob completely to the left decreases the level.
5. Microphone Trim
One microphone can be connected to the Quarter Inch output terminal (G). The Microphone Trim should always be at
its lowest setting while connecting and disconnecting a microphone to prevent damage to the mixer and/or your
audience.
6. CH 1 Input Selector Switch
This two position Toggle Switch engages the Phone Input in the upward position (F) or the Line Level Input in the
downward position (E.)
7. CH 2 Input Selector Switch
This two position Toggle Switch engages the Phone Input in the upward position (D) or the Line Level Input in the
downward position (C.)
8. CH 1 Input Fader
This slide fader continually adjusts the level of the selected CH 1 input sources (See Control 6.) In the full upward
position, the level is set to the maximum output.
9. CH 2 Input Fader
This slide fader continually adjusts the level of the selected CH 2 input sources (See Control 7.) In the full upward
position, the level is set to the maximum output.
10. CH 1 and CH 2 Crossfader
This slide fader blends between the assigned inputs set by the Input Selector Switches (6 and 7). In the full left
position, only CH 1 is sent to the Master Output (B.) In the full right position, only CH 2 is sent to the Master Output.
In the center position, a mix of the levels of CH 1 and CH 2 are combined and sent to the output.
11. Mini Slide Fader Cueing System
This mini slide fader can be used as a "Crossfader" for previewing mixes in the connected headphones (H.) The level of
the headphones is adjusted using the Cue Trim knob. NOTE: Be sure that the level of the cue trim is always set to a
minimum before connecting or disconnecting headphones.

stereo. The level of the master stereo output signal increases as the Master Volume (2) control is increased.
C. CH 2 Line Level Input
This line level input is used to connect CD players and other line level devices.
D. CH 2 Phone Level Input with Grounding Lug
This input is used for connecting a phono level source (turntables) to the mixer. Please note that to reduce excessive
noise and hum, the ground wire from the turntable must be connected to the mixer by tightening the ground lug onto
the turntable ground wire.
E. CH 1 Line Level Input
This line level input is used to connect CD players and other line level devices.
F. CH 1 Phone Level Input with Grounding Lug
This input is used for connecting a phono level source (turntables) to the mixer. Please note that to reduce excessive
noise and hum, the ground wire from the turntable must be connected to the mixer by tightening the ground lug onto
the turntable ground wire.
G. Microphone Input

SETUP & INSTALLATION
This mixer was designed to be placed between turntables and table top CD players. It is important that
there is at least ¼" (7mm) between the mixer and the turntables or CD players to prevent damage to the
equipment and to reduce unwanted system noise.
There are many variations of these setups. Find the best setup that works for your mixing style by
experimenting with different placements. It is strongly recommended that the top mixer surface and the
top flat surface of the relative be at the same level.
