Hercules DJ CONSOLE MK2 Installation and user guide

How to connect an external audio source to the DJ Console
MK2.
Turntables
Turntables usually produce a Phono level signal, different than the Line
level signal given by the majority of audio products. Be sure to set the
switch to the right position depending on your turntable output (Check the
user manual for more details). The same applies if you are using a
phono Line level converter).
The DJ Console MK2 permits to connect up to two turntables to the inputs in
the back of the unit.
If necessary, connect the ground between the DJ console and the turntable.
For Line level devices and Microphones
It is also possible to connect Line level sources to the MkII, such as CD,
cassette or MP3 players. For these, set the switch to Line-IN.
When looking at the Console M II control panel, you will notice that Input
1-2 is shared with the Microphone connector located on the front of the
console. As such, it will not be possible to use BOTH at once. The selection
needs to be made from the Control Panel:

We recommend using dynamic microphones with the DJ Console. If you
wish to use a condenser microphone, please note that an external power
source will be required as the Console doesn’t provide phantom power (+48
V).
Once connected, you can switch between the computer and the external
source by pressing the Audio Source button on the Console.
