You now own one of the most flexible DJ mixers ever designed. The rackmountable RM-22 offers up to three Microphone inputs, three Phono inputs and nine Line inputs—making it one of the most powerful DJ mixers around. And with Stanton’s smooth fader movement and rock-solid reliability, it’s the perfect mixer for mobile and club DJs alike. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the RM-22 by reading through this Owner’s Manual. (And don’t worry—we’ll make it quick so you can start mixing!) RM-22 Features The RM-22 is an extremely versatile mixer with enough inputs to accommodate many DJ setups including multiple turntables, CD players and microphones. Below we list some of the RM-22’s most salient features (in case you forgot already!): • 19” rackmountable DJ mixer with connections for multiple turntables, CD players and microphones • 4-channel design with assignable crossfader for mixing a variety of sources • Individual gain control per channel with clip LED for setting optimum levels • Easy monitoring via PFL switches and headphone mix with Split Cue and Cue Pan functions. • Fader Start buttons for controlling compatible CD players like Stanton S-Series • Dual 7-band Master EQ for tweaking mixes to suit different venues • Mic inputs 1 and 2 feature 2-band EQ and handy Talkover function • Individual outputs and level control for Master, Zone and Booth Application ExampleMaking Connections Application ExampleMaking Connections Are you ready to get on the 1’s and 2’s? Let’s make sure you’ve made all the right connections… Mic 2 Here you can connect a microphone using a 1/4-inch cable. If you have an XLR-type cable, use the Mic 1 input located on the front panel. Channel This channel offers two Line inputs for connecting CD/MD players, or the audio output of a DVD player or VCR. A Phono input is also provided for connecting a turntable. Channel 2/3 For each channel, you can connect either two Line inputs or one Line input and a turntable, depending on the position of the push-switch. These channels also feature a Fader Start function. Connect the Fader Start cable (provided with any Fader Start equipped CD player) to the remote input on your CD player. Channel 4 This channel provides connections for three Line inputs or two Line inputs and a microphone, depending on the position of the push-switch. This is a typical setup you’ll find in many nightclubs: 2 turntables, 2 CD players, plus a microphone for the DJ. Here’s how you would set up your equipment with the RM-22: 1. Be sure all equipment is powered “OFF” and all of the RM-22’s Channel faders and Level knobs are at minimum volume. 2. Connect the turntables to the Phono inputs of Channels 1 and 2. Be sure the rear-panel toggle switch for Channel 2 is set to “PH2” or you won’t hear anything. To avoid hum, don’t forget to connect the ground wires to the grounding terminals. 3. Connect the CD players to the Line 4 and 5 inputs of Channels 3 and 4. 4. Depending on the type of cable you have, connect your microphone to the Mic 1 or Mic 2 input. 5. Connect the Master Output jacks to the club’s power amp, EQ or crossover. Then connect your monitor amp to the Booth output. If you have a separate amp for a particular area of the club, connect this amp to the Zone outputs. 6. Set the Input Selectors on the front panel to the appropriate inputs for each channel. 7. Power everything up and carefully adjust the input levels using the Input Gain knobs and Mic Level knob. 8. If you want to use the crossfader, set Channels 1 and 3 to “A” and Channels 2 and 4 to “B”. Otherwise, set them all to “Bypass”. 9. If your CD players support Fader Start, connect the mini-cables and set the Fader Start switches to “ON”. 10. Slowly raise the Channel faders, Master fader, Booth level, Zone level and Mic level as appropriate and start mixing!
