2Adjust the MIC1 volume level using the MIC1 TRIM control, and adjust the MIC2 volume level using the
MIC2 TRIM control.
While inputting the audio signals to the unit, monitor the LEDs on the SIG/PK (signal/peak) meter. If
the LEDs occasionally light up red but there is no
distortion and the LEDs then light up amber, the
suitable level has been reached as a result of the
adjustment process.
3Adjust the sound quality using the MIC EQ controls (HI/LOW).
4When the DUCKING ON/OFF button is set to ON, all outputs except the mic sound will be attenuated when
the signals from the microphone are supplied.
5To add the effect functions to the mic input, set the
Mic EFX INS buttons to ON.
MONITOR (headphones output)
1Select the source to be monitored using the CUE buttons of the channels. When a source is selected, the
LED in the CUE button lights.
CUE monitoring for channels 1 to 4 as well as EFX 1 and EFX 2 can be selected.
2Selecting the STEREO or SPLIT CUE mode.
Use the SPLIT CUE button to select the STEREO or
SPLIT CUE mode. When the mode is selected, the
LED in the SPLIT CUE button lights.
In the SPLIT CUE (monaural) mode, the signals
selected for cue are output to the left channel speaker
of the headphones, and the master signals are output
to the right channel speaker.
In the STEREO mode, the master signals and signals
selected for cue are output in stereo.
3Use the headphones PAN control to adjust the balance between the cue signals and master output signals.

Getting Started Connections Basic Operations Specifications Troubleshooting
Effector Function Fader Start UtilityUSB
Effector Function
The unit comes with 2 independent effectors which are linked to the number of beats which has been set
in synchronization with the number of beats per minute (BPM) of the musical compositions. It also has
an effect send configuration which makes it possible to send the signals of a multiple number of input
channels simultaneously to the effectors. As a result, it can give presentations based on effect groups by
effector A and effector B, add the effects which are produced by the 2 effectors and which differ between
channel input and master output, and present a wide range of other acoustic effects as well.
Types of effects and details of operations
No. Effect Description of effect operation
1 Delay Adds signals which have been delayed by the time of the beat setting.
2 Echo Adds echo signals which have been delayed by the time of the beat setting.
3 Trans Cuts off the signals at the time of the beat setting.
4 Flanger Adds signals whose delay time has been varied in the LFO period of the beat
setting.
5 Filter Varies the filter cut-off frequency using the beat setting time.
6 Phaser Adds signals whose phase has been varied in the LFO period of the beat
setting.
7 Reverb Adds reverberation signals which have been delayed by the time of the beat
setting.
8 Loop Initiates the same kind of loop sampler processing as the LOOP function of
other Denon DJ products.
9 Rev. Loop Initiates the reverse play processing of the above loop signals.
10 Pitch Shift Initiates the pitch shift processing of the input signals, and outputs the
results.
11 BeatBreaker Initiates the partial insertion processing of the attack sounds of the beats as
per the beat pattern.
12 SEND/RTN
Sends the signals whose effects have been selected to the external effector
and returns the signals from the external effector.
* EFX 1 and EFX 2 cannot be selected at the same time.
* In order to achieve normal effects, set the BPM value that matches the number of beats of the musical
compositions.
BeatBreaker Function
1. What the BeatBreaker effector does
This effector breaks down the music signals in each bar obtained from the BPM value a quarter beat at
a time into 16 sections, replaces these sections with a preset beat pattern, and then plays them back to
achieve an effect where the beat of the original musical composition is changed.
2. Details of operation
The beat patterns consist of 16 blocks, and when these blocks are lighted, the sound is being replaced
by the initial sound of the beat.
When this effect is ON, the block being played lights up blue.
Example:
q
w
e
Pattern
Snare
Kick
Snare
Kick
In the case of pattern q shown in the figure, when the music signals w are input, the sound of signals
e, which are produced by replacing the sound of the first quarter beat with the lighted section, are
output.
3. Operation method
Using the Effect ON/OFF buttons, the effect with the timing when the buttons were set to ON at the
beginning is added. The beat pattern is selected using the BEAT , buttons.
In the Utility mode, five user presets can be created.

How to adjust the Crossfader torque
1Remove the rubber cap of the front panel.
2Move the Crossfader to the far right until the screw head becomes visible.
3Insert a screwdriver, and adjust the sliding torque.
When the screw is turned clockwise: The sliding torque
is increased so that the Crossfader moves more stiffly.
When the screw is turned counterclockwise: The
sliding torque is decreased so that the Crossfader
moves more easily.
4Put the rubber cap of the front panel back in its place.
FADER (setting the fader curve)
