INPUTS
1. Input Toggle Switches - select which source will be live to that
channel based on what you have connected to the rear panel
input section.
8. Treble and Bass Controls – for fine-tuning the tone of your
voice through the sound system. The controls are detented for
setting tone "flat".
2. Input faders - control individual source levels in the mix.
9. DJ Mic Gain Control – for volume adjustment of the
Note: Never use spray cleaners on the slide controls. Residues
cause excessive dirt build-up and this will void your warranty.
In normal use slide controls can last for many years. If they
malfunction (usually because of a dirty or dusty environment)
consult a professional technician.
Neutrik™ “Combo” connector on the faceplate.
10. Mic 2 Gain Control – for volume adjustment of the ¼”
input on the rear panel.
11. Mic Off/On/Talkover Switch. Off/On turns Mic 1off
and on. Mic 2 is controlled only through the Mic 2 Fader.
Talkover turns down the input level of your music
sources from Channels 1-4. Talkover is very useful for
making announcements without adjusting any levels.
3. Channel Cue Assign - are used to route Pre Fader Level (PFL)
channel audio to the Headphone Section. The channel faders do
not control the Cue volume.
4. Effect Send (Channels 1-4). Depress these buttons when you
want the signal from any input channel to be routed to the
sampler on the Send Out Jacks.
Try using this feature for audience participation when
you want the music to temporarily cease and the audience
to be heard - “YEAH!”
CROSSFADER
5. Crossfader Assign Knob - determines which input channel will
be heard when the crossfader is moved towards the knob. With
the crossfader centered, both assigned channels are live. Use the
crossfader for fast and seamless segues from one selected
channel to the other.
OUTPUTS
12. Master Fader – controls the overall output level.
13. Stereo/Mono toggle - adjusts the Master output for stereo or
mono operation.
14. Booth/Zone Fader - controls speaker volume for a remote zone
or booth monitors. NOTE: This can also be used to supply line
level audio to a lighting controller or to lights that are sound
activated.
6. Replaceable Crossfader - achieves clean segues between the
two input channels selected by the Crossfader Assign.
Note: The crossfader is a user replaceable item and subject to
wear. Excessive force can wear out the fader quickly. This is
not a warranted item. In case of failure. Simply unscrew the two
large screws that hold it in place, lift it out and disconnect its
cable. Re-attach the new crossfader and screw the mounting
plate back onto the unit - you’re back in business!
15. Stereo Auto Peak Hold Level Indicator- quickly and
accurately tracks level of audio output. The red LEDs for +3dB,
+5dB and +8dB hold program peaks for a second or two. With
peak metering, it's OK to be "in the red" as long as +5dB or
+8dB aren't constantly lit. When using as a master output
meter, set the crossover, equalizer and power amp inputs to
avoid distortion at each step in the audio chain. Proper attention
to the peak meter results in the punchiest possible sound without
audible distortion.
MICROPHONE
7. Neutrik™ “Combo” connector - allows connection of either a
1/4” jack or an XLR jack. This is ideal for connecting an XLR
gooseneck directly into the mixer.

HEADPHONE CUEING
EQUALIZER SECTION
18. Headphone Mix - controls the mix of cue and program (- the
final mix of music played through the master output), signals to
your headphones. When the knob is moved to the left, all you
will hear is the cue source. When the knob is all the way to the
right, you will hear what is playing through the master output.
By blending, beats can be matched exactly and segues can be
smooth when a song is cued.
16. 6-Band Stereo Graphic Equalizer (EQ). EQ
compensates for differences in source material sound
quality. In ultra-compact mobile systems this EQ can be
used to tailor the sound to the acoustical requirements of
the room. Center frequencies are 42Hz, 152Hz, 480Hz,
1.5kHz, 4.8kHz and 15.4kHz. Faders have a center detent
for an accurate "flat” response. Below is a typical "house"
EQ curve. Notice how the knobs above "0" balance out
the knobs below. Start with this setting if you've never
used a graphic EQ before:
19. Headphone Level – adjusts cue volume.
20. Headphone Jack – to plug in your ¼” headphones.
21. Power Switch – turns unit on and off.
22. BNC Connector – for a 12V gooseneck light to be attached.
Below is an example of a poor EQ curve because it cuts
the output volume down by 6-10dB. You have to
compensate by running the Master output higher:
Below is the worst sort of curve to use because you are
using EQ to add volume. With exaggerated boost you can
easily run your power amplifiers into “clipping” (see page
6) and damage your speakers:
GENERAL EQ HINTS
•
Boost the 42Hz band for deep bass tones and solid kick
drum sound. Use sparingly because this dramatically
increases demand on power amplifiers and could drive
them into “clipping” .
•
Cut slightly at 152Hz and more at 460Hz for extra clarity.
Note: Cutting is preferable to boosting.
•
•
Boost 15kHz for a little "sizzle".
As a general rule, less equalization is better!
17. Equalizer On/Off. This controls whether your final
output will be routed through the EQ or not.

1
3
4
6
This sampler was designed for ease of use and understanding. It can retain in memory up to 110 seconds worth
of sampling. Each bank can save 27.5 seconds for playback even after the unit is shut down. It’s as simple as
(1) pressing a channel send (2) recording the sample (3) playing it back. Enjoy a whole new way to sample.
1. Output Gain Control – adjusts the volume of the sampler.
2. Pitch Adjust – changes the playback pitch of the sample. Moving left slows down the playback, moving right speeds it up.
3. Record/Play mode select – sets the operation of the sampler.
4. Stutter – is used to allow samples to play fully through until retriggering.
5. Cue – is used for monitoring the sampler.
6. Sampler Banks – for storing 4 samples up to 27.5 seconds in length.
RECORDING SAMPLES
1. Determine your audio source and press the send button of the channel you wish to sample.
2. Set the mode select to record by depressing the button once.
3. Move toggle in either direction to record the sample then move it back to the center to end the sample. The unit will
return to play mode. Using the up position allows you to sample without holding the toggle.
PLAYING SAMPLES
1. Move toggle in the down direction to play only once. If the unit is in stutter mode the sample will play to the end unless
the toggle is moved again. If the unit is not in stutter mode then playback will end when the toggle is released.
2. Move the toggle upward to play a sample as a loop. Moving multiple samples up will allow them to play in sequence.
3. While a sample is playing as a loop other samples can be played back as well as single play. One single play sample and
one loop can be played at the same time creating some very interesting effects.

REAR PANEL FEATURES
1. Power Connector. Plug in power cord here and check the
voltage level to match your country’s standard.
2. GND is the grounding lug for turntables 1, 2 and 3 (phono
inputs on Channels 1, 2 and 3). Always use this
connection (your turntable cable should have a grounding
wire).
8. Line/Phono Input switch. Use this to allow line level
equipment to be plugged into your phono inputs giving
you a total of 8 line input options.
9. Phono Inputs on Channels 1, 2 and 3 use unbalanced
RCA jacks. Your input signal is fed directly to the
DM1200's high-quality RIAA phono pre-amplifiers so use
this position only for moving magnet cartridges. Line
level sources will overload the sensitive phono pre-amps
and will sound very bad, so always be sure to toggle the
line/phono switch over to line before connection of line
sources.
3. The Stereo Main Outputs are low-impedance RCA
connectors controlled by the Master fader.
4. The Stereo Zone Outputs are low-impedance unbalanced
RCA jacks controlled by the Zone Level control.
5. The Tape Outputs are low-impedance unbalanced RCA
jacks which output the program mix and allow you to
connect any recording device.
10. The Balanced Main Outputs are low-impedance XLR
type connectors controlled by the Master fader.
11. Mic 2 is the mic input for Channel 4.
6. The Send can be attached to an external effects processor
such as a sampler.
7. Line Inputs 1-5 are unbalanced RCA jacks. The Line
Input is selected with the toggle switch on the front panel.
You can connect stereo audio from HiFi VCRs, cassette
and reel-to-reel tape decks, DAT machines, CD players,
laser discs, tuners, even synthesizers or other mixing
consoles.
NOTE: Plug mono audio sources into both Left and Right
inputs using a “Y” cable connector.

QUICK SETUP DIAGRAM
VERY IMPORTANT: Please read this entire manual before connecting this unit to your system
For optimum performance:
•
•
Always make sure that AC power is OFF while making any connections.
Use appropriate cables throughout your system. Do not use excessively long cables (i.e. over 50ft/14m) Be sure plugs and jacks are tightly
mated. Loose connections can cause hum, noise or intermittence that could easily damage your speakers. Make the input and output
connections with readily available low-capacitance stereo cables. Quality cable makes a big difference in audio fidelity and punch. See
your Numark dealer or an electronics or audio specialist store if you are not sure which cables to get.
•
•
ALWAYS remember: “TURN AMPS ON LAST AND OFF FIRST”. Begin with master faders or volume controls on minimum and the
amplifier gain/input control(s) down. Wait 8 to 10 seconds before turning up the volume. This prevents transients, which may cause severe
speaker damage.
Use restraint when operating controls. Try to move them slowly. Rapid adjustments could damage speakers due to amplifier clipping.
Avoid amplifier “clipping” at all costs: this occurs when the red LEDs (usually on the front panel of most professional power amplifiers)
start flashing. “Clipping” is when the power amplifier is distorting and working beyond it’s limits. Amplifier distortion is THE major cause
of speaker failure.
Study this setup diagram. Make sure all faders are at "zero" and all devices are off. First, connect all
input sources and processors. Next, connect your microphone and monitor headphones. Finally, connect the
stereo outputs to the power amplifier(s) and/or audio receivers such as tape decks. Plug your mixer into AC
power. Now you are ready to switch everything on.
IMPORTANT: Always switch on your audio input sources such as turntables or CD players first, then your
mixer, and finally any amplifiers. When turning off, always reverse this operation by turning off amplifiers,
then your mixer, and then input devices.
