 Introduction
® CHANNEL 1 and the right side is CHANNEL 2. The CROSSFADER in
Congratulations on purchasing a Gemini model PMX -350 mixer. This-
state-of-the-art mixer includes the latest features and is backed by a
three year warranty, excluding crossfader and channel slides. Prior to
use, we suggest that you carefully read all the instructions.
Features
4. CROSSFADER SECTION: The CROSSFADER (20) allows the mixing of
one source into another. The left side of the CROSSFADER is
your unit is removable and, should the need arise, can be easily
replaced. Crossfader units are available in two varieties: part RF-45
(which is identical to the crossfader supplied with this mixer) has a
45 mm travel from side-to-side, while the PSF-45 is equipped with a
special “curve” designed for scratch mixing.
To install a new crossfader:

• 2 Phono/Line Convertible, 1 Phono, 1 Line and 1 Mic input

1. Unscrew the outside FADER plate screws (B). Do not
• Gain controls for each channel
touch the INSIDE SCREWS (C).

2. Carefully lift the fader and unplug the CABLE (D).
• Cue Section
3. Plug the new fader into the cable and place it back in the
mixer.

the program playing to be muted so that the mic can be heard above
the music. When the TALKOVER (11) button is pushed, the
TALKOVER INDICATOR (10) will glow and the volume of all sources
except MIC are reduced by -16 dB. MIC (17) controls the level of the
talkover MIC.

of the adaptor into the rear panel POWER JACK (6). Then plug the
adaptor into a proper power source.
3. To connect the mixer to your amplifier, use the MASTER (1) jacks on
the rear panel.
4. The unit is equipped with one microphone input. The MIC JACK (15)
is a 1/4" (6.35 mm) and is located on the front panel.
5. On the rear panel are 2 stereo PHONO/LINE (3, 4) inputs, 1 stereo
PHONO (5) input and 1 stereo LINE (2) input. The PHONO/LINE
SWITCHES (8, 9) enable you to set the (3, 4) inputs to Phono or Line.
The PHONO (5) input will accept turntable inputs only. A GROUND (7)
screw for you to ground your turntables is located on the rear panel.
The stereo LINE (2) input will accept any line level input such as a CD
player or a cassette player.
