Prior to use we suggest that you carefully read all the instructions.
nectors. - The BALANCED MASTER OUTPUT (8) connects the mixer to your main amplifier using standard cables with 1/4" connectors. We recommend using balanced cables if the distance to your amp is 10 feet or more. - The ZONE (7) output jacks allow the connection of an additional amplifier with RCA cables. - The REC (6) output jacks can be used to connect the mixer to the record input of your recording unit, thus enabling you to record your mix with RCA cables. 4. Headphones may be plugged into the front panel-mounted HEADPHONES (22) " jack. 5. Microphones may be plugged into the front panel-mounted MICROPHONE (21) " jack. 6. The PS-02 has 3 CONVERTIBLE PHONO/LINE (PH/LN) RCA INPUTS (10, 14, 18) located on the rear panel on either side of the RCA INPUTS. Facing the rear panel, the convertible RCA input on your right is for PH1/LN1 (18). The convertible RCA input in the middle is for PH2/LN3 (14). The convertible RCA input on your left is for PH3/LN5 (10). Using the PH/LN CONVERTERS (11, 15, 19), located just below each input, you may convert the PH to LN and vice versa. Plug the RCA's from your playable medium into each input to be connected to their respective CHANNELS (CH). The PH INPUTS (10, 14, 18) only accept turntables with a magnetic cartridge. The STEREO LN INPUTS (9, 10, 13, 14, 17, 18) only accept line level inputs such as a CD, DAT, Mini Disc, etc and require the proper switch settingand require the LN switch setting as indicated in the PH/LN CONVERTER SWITCHES (11, 15, 19). 7. When using (a) turntable(s), you will need to ground the RCA cable(s) by screwing in the grounding fork(s) to the TRIPLE GROUNDING SCREWS (12 ,16, 20) located in the rear panel of the PS-02 mixer. Attach each PH ground lines to one of the TRIPLE GROUND THUMB SCREWS (12, 16, 20). These are to the right of each PH/LN CONVERTER (11, 15, 19).

WILL PREVENT SIGNAL OVERLOAD AND DECREASE DISTORTION. ONCE YOU HAVE MODIFIED YOUR SOUND AND WOULD LIKE TO INCREASE THE OUTPUT OF YOUR SOUND, THEN YOU MAY ADJUST THE ROTARY GAIN CONTROL IF NEEDED.
5. KILLING FREQUENCIES: There are two ways to kill, or cancel out, frequencies, only on CH2 (36) and CH3 (43), using the LOW, MID, and HIGH KILL SWITCHES (59, 60). Each KILL SWITCH has 3 positions: LATCH, NORMAL & FLASH. When you move the selected KILL SWITCH to the top LATCH (ON) position, the switch will stay there, and the frequency will be killed. When you move the selected KILL SWITCH to the center position the kill function is not active, and the frequency will not be killed. When you move the selected KILL SWITCH to the bottom FLASH position and hold it there, the frequency will be killed. Releasing the selected KILL SWITCH from the bottom position will bring it back to the center position and the frequency will no longer be killed. 6. CUE: By connecting a set of headphones to the HEADPHONE (22) jack, you can monitor any or all channels. Press the CUE BUTTONS (28, 35, 42) for CH1 through CH3 to assign the CH(s) to be monitored in your headphones. The respective CUE LED indicators will glow when in use. Use the front panel located rotary CUE VOLUME CONTROL (44) to adjust the CUE volume without changing the overall mix. By turning the front panel located CUE/MIX/PGM (45) rotary control counter clockwise you will be able to monitor the assigned CUE signal. Slowly turning the control clockwise to middle position (MIX) allows you to monitor CUE mix with PGM. Moving the control clockwise to the right allows you to monitor PGM output. Use the CUE SPLIT/MIX SWITCH (48) to split the audio input playing in your head phones. When the CUE SPLIT/MIX SWITCH (48) is in MIX mode you will only be able to monitor your CUE in both headphones, when the rotary CUE/MIX/PGM CONTROL (45) is in CUE. When the CUE SPLIT/MIX SWITCH (48) is in SPLIT, you will notice one side of your headphones will play your CUE and the other side will play PGM, thus enabling you to monitor both outputs separately. This feature will only work properly if the CUE/MIX/PGM (45) rotary control is placed at noon or middle position. If the CUE/MIX/PGM (45) rotary control is set to CUE you will only here the CUE signal playing on the left side of your headphones. If the CUE/MIX/PGM (45) rotary control is set to PGM, the PGM will be the only signal heard from the right side of your headphones. 7. CROSS FADER SECTION: The CROSS FADER (46) allows you to mix from one source to another. The CROSS FADER (46) in your unit is removable and if the need arises can be easily replaced. Your Gemini mixer comes with a RG-45 (RAILGLIDE) DUAL-RAIL CROSS FADER. RAIL GLIDE CROSS FADERS have internal dual stainless steel rails that allow the slider to ride smoothly and accurately from end to end. Also available is our RG-45 PRO (PROGLIDE) Dual-Rail CROSS FADER. This unique CROSS FADER features, a special curve designed for scratch mixing. Just purchase one from your Gemini dealer and follow the instructions:

has. Flip the CROSS FADER SLOPE SWITCH (57) down to make the slope steep and cutting (perfect for scratching). Flip the CROSS FADER SLOPE SWITCH (57) up to make the slope gradual and gentle. 9. REVERSE CONTROL: The CROSS FADER REVERSE SWITCH (56) allows you to reverse the CROSS FADER so that the right side CH2 (36) or CH3 (43) is controlled by the left side of the CROSS FADER (46) and the left side CH1 (29) or CH2 (36) is controlled by the right side of the CROSS FADER (46). Flip the switch up to activate the REVERSE (56) control. Flip the switch down to deactivate the REVERSE (56) control.
NOTE: WHEN THE CROSSFADER REVERSE SWITCH (56) IS ACTIVATED, ONLY THE CROSSFADER REVERSES. THE CHANNEL SLIDES, GAIN, KILL SWITCHES AND TONAL CONTROLS DO NOT REVERSE.
10. CROSS FADER ASSIGN: The CROSS FADER ASSIGN SWITCH (58) is used to place CH(s) on either side of the CROSS FADER (46). When the ASSIGN SWITCH (58) is in the top position, CH1 (29) & CH3 (36) are assigned to the CROSS FADER (46). When the REVERSE (56) control is not activated, CH1 (29) will be on the left and CH3 (43) will be on the right. When the ASSIGN SWITCH (58) is in the bottom position, CH2 (46) & CH3 (54) are assigned to the CROSS FADER (46). When the REVERSE (56) control is not activated, CH2 (36) will be on the left and CH3 (43) will be on the right. 11. OUTPUT SELECTION CONTROL: Once you are comfortable with the sound level of your music you may adjust the volume with the MASTER (47) slide control. You may adjust the volume of the zone output with the ZONE (51) rotary control. You may also pan the audio output from left to right with the BALANCE (52) rotary control. 12. MIC SECTION: Plug your main MIC into the MIC (21) 1/4" input located on the front panel. Connecting a microphone to the 1/4" MIC JACK (21) allows voice amplification through the mixer to the stereo through the MASTER RCA (5), ZONE (6), BALANCED (8) and REC (7) outputs. This MIC is controlled by the MIC VOLUME (55), HIGH (53), LOW (54) rotary controls. To activate this section, raise the level of the MIC VOLUME (55). The rotary knob will click and a green LED will light up to indicate that the MIC (21) is in use. 13. VU METER: The PS-02 has a dual mode VU METER (50) that allows you to monitor the decibel levels of CUE and PGM or LEFT and RIGHT stereo levels of the MASTER output. With the VU MODE SWITCH (49) you may monitor the output level of the CUE and PGM when the switch is UP. When this mode is engaged the CUE will be located on the left of the VU METER, while the PGM will be located on the RIGHT. Or you can monitor the LEFT and RIGHT stereo decibel levels of the MASTER OUTPUT when the switch is in the DOWN position.
