DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
10. Input Selection: Each input channel features several input sources. These selector switches let you toggle between the
various sources. All channels have a phono and line input. Channels 1-2 also have an AUX input which can be switched
from mic to line.
11. Input Channel Gain: Controls the input level of the selected audio source for each channel. Each gain control has an
LED clip indicator.
• TIP: Turn the gain knob until the LED flashes lightly to the beat of the music. If the LED is constantly on, the signal is too
loud and the audio may get slightly distorted.
12. Input Channel EQ: Adjusts the high, mid, and low frequencies of the input source. Note: Any changes made to EQ set-
tings will affect the overall gain of the input source.
13. Input Channel Effect Send: Sends the signal from each channel to the outboard sound processor connected via the
effects Send & Return.
14. Cue Selection: Sends the audio for each channel pre-channel fader to the headphone output.
15. Crossfader Assign: Assigns each channel to either side (A or B) of the crossfader (CF). Set to Bypass if you do not want
to use the crossfader.
16. Input Channel Level Fader: Controls the output level of each channel.
17. Crossfader Return: Returns the wet signal from the sound processor to either side of the crossfader. When an outboard
signal processor is connected via the Send & Return circuit, the crossfader can be used to mix the dry signal with the audio
coming back from the sound processor (wet signal). This is done by assigning the channel sent to the sound processor to
one side of the crossfader, and turning on the crossfader return (17) on the opposite side of the crossfader.
• TIP: Press the SEND button on channel 1. Set the channel 1 CF assign to A. Turn on the RTN on side B of the crossfad-
er. Make sure no other channel is assigned to the crossfader while mixing the effects in and out. Slide the crossfader from
A to B. Once side B is reached, the wet signal is audible.
18. Crossfader Curve Control: Adjusts the curve of the CF from a long fade to a sharp cut in for quick mixing and scratch-
ing. Each side of the crossfader has an independent curve control.
19. Crossfader: Fades between any input channels assigned via the CF assign switches (15).
20. Headphone Outputs: Connect your headphones to either 1/8” or _” connector (or both for dual headphones).
21. Effects Cue Return: Returns the signal from the sound processor to cue it before sending it to the master or crossfad-
er.
22. Cue Level: Controls the level of the headphone output.
23. Cue Split: In the split position, the PFL signal is sent to the left ear, and the PGM (Master) signal is sent to the right ear.
To hear both signals in this position, the cue pan must be set to the center position.
24. Cue Pan: Mixes between the selected channel (PFL) and the master output (PGM).
25. Booth Level: Controls the level of the booth output.

DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
26. Master Output Pan: Pans the master output left to right.
27. Effects Master Return: Returns the wet signal from the outboard sound processor to the master output.
28. Master Output Level: Controls the overall output level of the mixer.
29. Level Meter Assign: Assigns the level meter to display the master output level (Master) or the pre-fader input level of
any cued channels (PFL).
30. Level Meter: Displays the input or output levels of the mixer depending on the setting of the Level Meter Assign (29).
31. Power Switch: Turns the mixer on and off.
32. Unbalanced Master Output: RCA connectors for the master output. Connect to an audio receiver or mixer equipped
with RCA inputs.
33. Booth output: RCA connectors for the booth output. This is just another output, although mostly used to monitor the
audio in a DJ booth.
34. Record output: This output is used to record audio in order to set the master level without affecting the record level.
35. Master Trim: Attenuates the overall output of the mixer. This is useful in club situations to restrict the audio from clip-
ping or overloading the sound system.
36. Ground posts: Connect to the ground post of turntable(s).
37. Channel inputs: Connect your turntables and/or CD players to any of the channel inputs.
• Which inputs do I use?
o Phono inputs are only used when connecting turntables.
o Line inputs are used with most common audio devices such as CD players, MP3 players, Samplers, etc.
o Mic inputs are used to connect microphones.

DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
38. Channel Trims: In similar fashion as the master trim, the input trims are used to attenuate the audio coming into each
channel. Again, this is useful in club settings to restrict DJs who may be unfamiliar with the unit from overloading the inputs.
39. AUX Input Selector: Switches the AUX inputs between line and microphone level.
40. AUX Inputs: Combo connector to plug-in XLR or TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) 1/4” cables.
• TIP: When using the AUX inputs at line level, you can connect any studio or P.A. gear equipped with TRS _” or XLR out-
puts by connecting the left output to AUX 1 and the right output to the AUX 2 input. You can then control the levels of the
AUX inputs using channels 1 and 2 together.
41. Effects Send: Connect to the input of your outboard sound processor.
42. Effects Return: Connect to the output of your outboard sound processor.
43. Balanced Master Outputs: Connect to your main sound system.
44. AC In: Connect the included power supply.
CONNECTIONS
Inputs
• Connect the outputs of your turntables to the RCA
phono inputs of your choice. If your turntables have
ground connections, make sure to connect them to the
ground posts on the mixer.
• Connect the outputs of your CD players to the RCA line
inputs of your choice.
• If using a microphone, you can connect it to either AUX
jack on the back panel or to the dedicated microphone
input on the top of the mixer. If you are using the AUX
inputs, make sure the input switch is set to MIC. Line
level devices such as samplers and drum machines can
be connected to the AUX inputs by switching the input
selector to line.
• If you are using an external effects unit, connect the
SEND outputs to the inputs of your effects box, and the
outputs of the effects box back into the RETURN inputs.
Outputs
• Connect the Master output of the mixer to your sound
system. Depending on the configuration of your system,
you can use either the RCA or XLR connector – or both
at the same time if necessary.
• If using the mixer in a live application, connect your DJ
booth monitor system to the RCA booth outputs.
• You can connect the REC output directly to the input of
a CD or cassette recorder or to a mixing board to record
your set.

GETTING STARTED
• Once your system is set up, make sure the MASTER (28) is turned all the way down.
• Turn on the mixer and check your levels. Start with the channel faders (16) down, GAIN (11) and EQs (12) at 12 o’clock.
Start the music. Adjust the GAIN until the LED indicator is blinking. You can also use the main LED meter to view the input
level of each channel by setting the LEVEL METER ASSIGN (29) to PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) and pressing the CUE button
on the channel you want to monitor.
• Assign your channels of choice to either side of the crossfader (19) (or just leave it bypassed if you don’t want to use it)
using the crossfader assign switches (15).
• Make sure your levels are properly set on your sound system and turn the MASTER volume to the desired level. Now you
are ready to go.
USING EFFECTS
The M.505’s send and return circuit was designed to enable DJs to use the crossfader as a wet/dry mix control.
• Once you have connected your effects box as indicated above, select the channel you want to process by pressing the
SEND (13) button.
• Adjust the SEND LEVEL (7) and SEND EQ (8) as desired, making sure you have a good signal going into the effects box.
• You can preview the effects in your headphones by engaging the CUE RETURN (21).
• Once you are ready to activate the effect you return it either to the crossfader by pressing the CROSSFADER RETURN
(17) or directly to the master output by pressing the MASTER RETURN (27).
: Press the SEND button on channel 1. Set the channel 1 CF assign to A. Turn on the RTN on side B of the crossfader.
Make sure no other channel is assigned to the crossfader while mixing the effects in and out. Make sure your SEND and
RETURN levels are set properly. Slide the crossfader from A to B. Once side B is reached, the wet signal is audible.
FADER REPLACEMENT
Replacing the Channel Faders
To replace the channel faders simply remove the 4 screws from the fader plates. Carefully lift the fader to disconnect it from
the mixer. Align the 7-pin connector of the replacement fader with the connector on the mixer’s circuit board and push it
down into place.
Replacing the Crossfader
Remove the two screws from extremities of the crossfader plate. Do not remove the two inner screws, as that will separate
the fader from its plate. Carefully lift the crossfader from the mixer and disconnect it by holding the ends of the connector
and pulling. DO NOT PULL ON THE CABLES DIRECTLY or you will risk damaging them.
