OPERATIONS MANUAL

PS-767

STEREO PREAMP MIXER

Page 1

Page 2

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing a Gemini Platinum Series model PS-767 mixer. This state of the art mixer includes the latest features backed by a three year warranty. Prior to use, we suggest that you carefully read all the instructions.
7. The PS-767 comes with a front panel XLR LIGHT (5) jack. This jack is for use with a gooseneck light like the Gemini GNL-500. NEVER plug a microphone into this jack. 8. If you are using an off board signal enhancer, you can use the SEND (80) output to send the signal to the device and the RECEIVE (81) input jacks to bring the signal back in to the PS-767. 9. The PS-767 is supplied with DJ MIC LOOP (82) jacks that can be used to add an audio enhancer such as a key controller to the mic circuit. There must be a connection to these jacks. If no device is being used in the DJ mic loop, then the jumper wire (included) must be in place.

FEATURES

4 Stereo channels (2 Phono/6 Line) 1 DJ Mic channel 1 Aux Mic or Line Mono channel Combo XLR or 1/4" DJ Mic jack Bass, Mid, Treble and Gain controls on each channel The DJ Mic and Aux channels have pan controls Assignable, removable crossfader Assignable Beat indicators Assignable Send plus Receive effects circuitry for adding off board sound enhancers such as digital samplers DJ Mic loop 6 Drum sound effects Echo section assignable to Mic or Music with appropriate delay times for each source

OPERATION

1. POWER ON: Once you have made all the equipment connections to your mixer, press the POWER SWITCH (1). The power will turn on and the POWER LED (2) will glow RED. 2. DJ MIC SECTION: The GAIN (6), TREBLE (7), MID (8), BASS (9), PAN (10) and LEVEL (11) controls allow full adjustment of the DJ mic that is plugged into the DJ MIC (3) input. Note: The OVERLOAD LED (12) glows red when the DJ mic is being over driven. To correct the setting, turn down the GAIN (6) control until the LED goes off. 3. AUX CHANNEL: By using the AUX MIC/LINE (13) switch, you can choose between an additional mic or an additional mono line input. The GAIN (14), TREBLE (15), MID (16), BASS (17), PAN (18) and LEVEL (19) controls fully adjust the Aux Channel input you selected with the AUX MIC/LINE (13) switch. Note: The OVERLOAD LED (20) glows red when the Aux Channel is being over driven. To correct the setting, turn down the GAIN (14) control until the LED goes off.

WORDS TO THE WISE

1. All operating instructions should be read before using this equipment. 2. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not open the unit. There are NO USER REPLACEABLE PARTS INSIDE. Please refer servicing to a qualified service technician. 3. Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or to a heat source such as a radiator or stove. 4. This unit should be cleaned only with a damp cloth. Avoid solvents or other cleaning detergents. 5. When moving this equipment, it should be placed in its original carton and packaging. This will reduce the risk of damage during transit.
HINT: Like the DJ Mic, the Aux Channel is always live. Hooking up another mic or a mono line device such as a sound effects generator or a drum machine, will allow you to play the selected source at any time.
4. MAIN CHANNEL SECTION: To assign an input source to a channel, set the PHONO/LINE (29,30) and the LINE/LINE (31, 32) switches to their appropriate positions. To make the proper adjustments to your music, set the TREBLE (21), MID (22), BASS (23) and GAIN (24) controls and the CHANNEL (25, 26, 27, 28) slides. 5. CROSSFADER SECTION: The CROSSFADER (38) allows the mixing of one source into another. The PS-767 features an assignable crossfader. The ASSIGN (39,43) switches allow you to select which cannel will play through each side of the CROSSFADER. ASSIGN (39) switch allows you to select channel 1, 2, 3 or 4 to play through the left side of the CROSSFADER. ASSIGN (43) switch does the same to the right side of the CROSSFADER. Each assign switch has its own OFF (40) switch and OFF INDICATOR (41) LED. With the OFF (40) switch in the off position (the OFF INDICATOR (41) glows red), that side of the CROSSFADER (38) will be inactive.

CAUTIONS

DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. DO NOT USE ANY SPRAY CLEANER OR LUBRICANT ON ANY CONTROLS OR SWITCHES.

CONNECTIONS

1. Before plugging in the power cord, make sure that the VOLTAGE SELECTOR (65) switch is set to the correct voltage. Note: This product is double insulated and not intended to be grounded. 2. Make sure that the POWER (1) switch is in the off position. The POWER LED (2) will be off. 3. The PS-767 is supplied with 3 sets of output jacks. The OUTPUT AMP (66) jacks are used to connect to your main amplifier. The OUTPUT REC (67) jacks can be used to connect the mixer to the record input of your recorder enabling you to record your mix. The OUTPUT BOOTH (68) jacks allow you to hook up an additional amplifier. 4. The PS-767 is equipped with 2 microphone inputs. The DJ MIC (3) input (found on the front panel) accepts 1/4" or XLR connectors and suitable for balanced or unbalanced microphones. The AUX MIC (69) input (found on the rear panel) is a 1/4" jack for an unbalanced microphone. 5. On the rear panel are 2 stereo PHONO (70, 71) inputs, 6 stereo LINE (72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77) inputs and 1 mono AUX LINE (78) input. The stereo phono inputs will accept only turntables with a magnetic cartridge. A GROUND (79) screw for you to ground your turntables is located on the rear panel. The stereo line inputs will accept any line level input such as a CD player, a cassette player, etc. Note: The AUX LINE (78) input is composed of 2 RCA jacks. When connecting a mono line level source, either jack can be used. By connecting a stereo line level device to both jacks, the input will be combined to one mono signal. 6. Headphones can be plugged into the front panel mounted HEADPHONE (4) jack.
HINT: Try using the OFF (40) switches when you are changing the ASSIGN (39,43) switch settings. For Example: Assume that you have a turntable hooked up to channel 1, a tape deck hooked up to channel 2 and a CD player hooked up to channel 3. The left side ASSIGN (39) switch is set to 1, the right side ASSIGN (43) is set to 2, and the CROSSFADER (38) is all the way to the right. Under this set of circumstances, channel 2 will be playing your tape deck. Now suppose you want to change the left side ASSIGN (39) switch to # 3 so that you can use your CD player. You must turn the left side ASSIGN (39) off by pressing the OFF (40) Switch (the OFF INDICATOR (41) glows red). Then you can make your changes to the setting. Reactivate the ASSIGN (39) switch by pressing the OFF (40) switch (the OFF INDICATOR (41) goes off). Failure to do this will result in an audio glitch when the ASSIGN (39) switch setting is changed.

The CROSSFADER (38) in your unit is REMOVABLE and if the need arises can be easily replaced. Crossfader units are available in two sizes. Part # RF-45 (which is identical to the crossfader supplied with the PS-767) has a 45 mm travel from side to side. Also available is part # RF-30 which has a 30 mm travel distance Just purchase either of these crossfader units from your Gemini dealer and follow these instructions:

Page 3

1. Unscrew the outside FADER plate screws (B). Do not touch the INSIDE SCREWS (C). 2. Carefully lift the fader and unplug the CABLE (D). 3. Plug the new fader into the cable and place it back in the mixer. 4. Screw the fader to the mixer.
HEADPHONE (4) jack, you can monitor any or all of the channels. CUE ASSIGN (55) buttons are for the channels 1 - 4 and the CUE ASSIGN (56) button is for the Aux Mic/Line Mono channel and the DJ Mic.
HINT: When you are using the DJ Mic and have a device connected to the DJ Mic Loop, the signal you hear in the headphones includes the device in the loop.
Select the correct Cue assign button or buttons and their respective LED indicators will glow. Use the HEADPHONE LEVEL (57) control to adjust the headphone volume with out effecting the overall mix. By rotating the CUE PGM PAN (58) control to the left you will be able to monitor the assigned cue signal. Rotating to the right will monitor the PGM (program) output. 11. ECHO SECTION: Echo can be applied to either the microphones or the music but not to both. To select the microphone option, press the MIC ECHO (59) button (the LED will glow). To select the music option use the MUSIC ECHO (60) button. You can adjust the level, repeat and delay parameters of the echo by using the ECHO (62) controls.To turn echo off, push the OFF ECHO (61) button. 12. DRUM EFFECTS SECTION: Six different drum effects (BASS DRUM, CYMBAL, LASER DRUM, SNARE DRUM, HI CONGA and CLAPS) may be added to your mix by depressing the DRUM EFFECT (63) buttons. Adjust the level by turning the LEVEL (64) control.
6. BEAT INDICATORS: Each side of the CROSSFADER (38) has its own BEAT INDICATOR 42, 44). They flash at the low frequency peak level of each assigned source, allowing you to match the beats visually. BEAT INDICATOR (42) will reflect the beat of the source assigned to the left side of the CROSSFADER (38) and BEAT INDICATOR (44) will do the same for the right side. Note: The flashing level can be fine tuned by increasing or decreasing the gain and bass controls of the assigned channel. 7. OUTPUT CONTROL SECTION: The level of the AMP OUT (66) is controlled by the MASTER (33) slide. The BALANCE (34) control will allow the Amp Out signal to be balanced between the left and right speakers. The MONO (35) switch, when depressed, (the MONO LED (36) will glow), will make the Amp Out signal a mono signal. The BOOTH (37) control adjusts the level of the BOOTH OUTPUT (68). Note: The LED DISPLAY (48) indicates the AMP OUT (66) signal only and is not affected by the BOOTH OUTPUT (68) signal.

HINT: The booth OUTPUT is used by some DJs to run monitor speakers in their DJ booth. You can also use it as a second ZONE or AMP output.
Note: The RECORD OUT (67) has no level control. The level is set by the channel slides and the gain control of the selected channel. The tonal qualities are set by the bass, treble and mid controls of that same channel. 8. TALKOVER SECTION: The purpose of the talkover section is to allow the program playing to be muted so that the mic can be heard above the music. When the TALKOVER ON/OFF (45) button is pushed (the TALKOVER INDICATOR (46) will glow), the volume of all sources except the DJ Mic and the Aux channel are reduced. The amount of reduction can be set between -6 dB and -36 dB by using the MUTE LEVEL (47) control. 9. SEND AND RECEIVE SECTION: By using the SEND ASSIGN (49) switch, you can send the selected signal to some sort of audio enhancement device (like a digital sampler or key controller). The level of the signal being sent can be adjusted by the SEND (50) control. To receive the signal back into the PS-767, you must first turn on the RCV ON (51) switch (LED (52) will light). The level of the signal being received can be adjusted with the RECEIVE (53) control. Note: The signal being received back into the PS-767 can be monitored by using the headphones and by pressing the RECEIVE (54) cue control. If the RCV ON (51) switch is in the off position (LED (52) is off), the level of the signal can be monitored and adjusted prior to its playing through the output. Turning the RCV ON (51) switch to the on position connects the received signal to the output section.

HINT: The RECEIVE (81) input can be used as an additional stereo line level input controlled by the RECEIVE (53) and activated by the RCV ON (51) switch.
