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

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.

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.)

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.
