INTRODUCTION
The DX-8000 brings the future in audio entertainment right
into your living rooms. Just like our latest models DX-5000 G2
and DX-6000 G2, the DX-8000 mixer specializes in the
consumers' preference in audio, allowing only the best in
audio quality and quantity in effects for the music and
microphones. Additionally, our new product contains two
brackets that exceed the width of the console itself, making it
rack mountable and allows much more room for additional
equipment if needed. Just like all our other products in mixers,
the DX-8000 contains a total of five microphone inputs (three
in the front and two in the back), each with individual volume
controls.
The DX-8000 comes with downloadable software that allows
users to further their experience by allowing the user to adjust
the audio thoroughly for crystal clear audio. Not only does
the software allow the DX-8000 to work as an equalizer but
the software also has additional functions such as music and
microphone effects, covering many effects including reverb
and delay. Do you have many different tastes in audio
quality? No need to worry because the DX-8000 allows
users to preset various types of audio equalizer marks for
when you feel in the mood for ground shaking bass, or guitar
solo treble frequencies.

OVERLOADING
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or convenience
receptacles beyond their capacity, since this can result in fire
or electric shock.
An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance and
cart combination to overturn.
Do not place the electronic equipment onto the unstable
table or stand. It is because it would fall easily from the
unstable table or stand, so it may cause accident including
personal injuries and
damage the equipment.
Please follow our instructions
to install the equipment, or
you may hire a professional
technician to handle the
installation for safety
purpose.
Do not store the electronic equipment near water or area
with moisture such as bathroom, kitchen sink, laundry area
and swimming pool, etc.
Do not place the electronic equipment near heat sources
such as stoves, radiators and heaters, etc. Placing the
electronic equipment too near to these heat sources would
result in damaging the equipment and causing fire.
120V AC-POWER
Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table. The set may fall, causing serious injury to a
child or an adult and serious damage to the set. Use only a
cart stand tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer.
For the set with a three-wire grounding type ac plug:
This plug 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 have a suitable
outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding plug.
Do not transport the electronic equipment by yourself if its
weight exceeds 70 pounds. It is recommended that two
people work together to transport the equipment or by using
hand truck and the like.
Do not place the electronic
equipment directly under sunlight
or close to the window. It may
cause overheat on the electronic
equipment by the sunlight.
Do not block the openings and vents in the cabinet which
is designed for the ventilation of the electronic equipment.
The blocking may cause overheat in the electronic equipment
because of insufficient circulation of air, so it would damage
the electronic equipment.

CONNECTOR INFORMATION
Either banana plug or insert type can be used to connect the
unit to speakers. Be sure to connect red (+) to red (+) and
black (–) to black (–). Otherwise, the sound output would be
180° out of phase and distorted.
Follow these steps if you are inserting the wire directly into
the speaker terminal.
1. Strip off the vinyl covering and twist the tip of the
wire core.
2. Loosen the knob and insert the wire core into the
terminal hole.
3. Tighten the knob to fix the wire core in place.
Do not allow the wire core to protrude or touch other
terminals or wires.
If the cores of differing wires touch, damage may result to
your components.

The Audio 1/4 unbalanced cable is
a standard audio signal connection.
The XLR balanced cable is a higher
signal quality connection which we
strongly recommend for best audio
performance. However, both types

NOTE
Better Music Builder has a DX-8000 audio/video
effect processor that can provide five divisions
(5-D) pro audio for large format use. The
DX-8000 processor needs to operate with three
powered amplifiers (i.e. one powered amplifier to
drive two center vocal monitor speakers in
parallel, another powered amplifier to drive
Group-A speakers for high and mid range
frequency, and third powered amplifier to drive
Group-B speakers for full range frequency).
DX-8000 provides low frequency line out to one
powered subwoofer. The whole concept borrows
the idea of a 5-channel home theater to produce
a live sound effect in our system. You can use this
system for public and commercial use. Better
Music Builder have two different models of
powered amplifiers (A-3 & A-4) to operate with
the Dynamic Fusion System.
