  • LINE Inputs (RCA): Connect CD players, media players, or other line-level audio devices to the LINE inputs.
  • MIC Input (1/4" TRS): Connect a microphone to the 1/4" TRS input on the front panel.

  • Mmepụta REC (RCA): Connect this output to a recording device (e.g., a digital recorder, computer audio interface) to capture your mix.

Na-arụ ọrụ

This section details the functions of the DJX400's controls and how to operate the mixer.

1. Channel Controls

Each of the two stereo channels features the following controls:

  • INPUT SELECT Switch: Toggles between PHONO and LINE inputs for the respective channel.
  • Ịnweta njikwa: Adjusts the input sensitivity for the channel. Set this so the channel's peak LED occasionally flashes, but does not stay lit.
  • 3-Band KILL EQ: Provides -32 dB attenuation for HIGH, MID, and LOW frequencies. Use these to sculpt the sound of each track.
  • CHANNEL FADER: Controls the volume level of the individual channel.
  • PFL (Pre-Fader Gee ntị) bọtịnụ: Routes the channel's audio to the headphone output for monitoring before it reaches the main mix.

2. Onye na -eme egwuregwu

The DJX400 features a super-smooth dual-rail "Ultraglide" crossfader designed for up to 500,000 life cycles.

  • OGBUOZU: Blends between Channel 1 and Channel 2. Moving it to the left emphasizes Channel 1, and to the right emphasizes Channel 2.
  • CROSSFADER CURVE Control: Adjusts the response curve of the crossfader. A sharp curve is ideal for scratching, while a smooth curve is better for blending.

3. Master Section

  • Ọkwa nna ukwu: Controls the overall output volume of the mixer to the main PA system.
  • BOOTH LEVEL: Adjusts the volume of the BOOTH output for your monitor speakers.
  • Ọkwa MIC: Na-achịkwa olu nke ntinye igwe okwu.
  • XPQ 3D SURROUND: Activates and adjusts the XPQ 3D surround effect, which widens the stereo image and adds transparency to the sound. Turn the knob to increase the effect.

4. Headphone Section

  • Ọkwa ekweisi: Na-edozi olu nke mmepụta ekweisi.
  • PFL/MAIN MIX Control: Blends between the PFL (pre-fader listen) signal and the main mix in your headphones.
  • SPLIT/STEREO Switch: In SPLIT mode, the PFL signal is sent to one ear and the main mix to the other. In STEREO mode, both signals are mixed in stereo.

5. BPM Counter

The intelligent dual auto-BPM counter displays the beats per minute for both channels, aiding in beatmatching.

  • The display shows the BPM for the active channel or the channel selected for PFL.
  • Use the BPM display to visually match the tempo of two tracks before crossfading.
