Welcome  
Congratulations and thank-you for purchasing the latest addition to the grow-  
ing Stanton family. Sporting a new attitude, and a fresh, modern look, the  
RM.406 is a 4-channel, rackmount mixer loaded with features and innova-  
tions giving club and mobile DJs a complete, powerful, yet simple tool to mix,  
create, and perform their best. 1/4" and 1/8" headphone outputs, XLR, RCA,  
and 1/4" Master and Zone outputs, plus plenty of inputs, including three Mic  
inputs, and a separate 1/8" jack for connecting portable devices such as  
iPodsTM, ensure the utmost in flexibility. The RM.406 even goes a step further  
by adding an FX Loop, Booth, and Subwoofer outputs. Colored, backlit  
knobs, adjustable Crossfader curve, separate LED level indicators, gain and  
3-band EQs on every channel with a fully assignable Crossfader, offer  
increased control and functionality. Thoughtfully designed and engineered to  
give you the most intuitive and instinctual experience possible, the RM.406  
delivers all these features in a logical layout with quality components, all at  
an affordable price.  
Stanton's revolutionary Superior Sound Technology (SST™) also gives the  
RM.406 exceptional sound quality with audio specifications rivaling mixers  
costing up to four times as much. Developed from the ground up by a team  
of seasoned audio professionals who have designed world class profession-  
al recording studio and broadcast mixers, working hand in hand with experi-  
enced and respected DJs, SST™ delivers a dynamic range better than 110  
dB through ultra low-noise circuitry with a lower total harmonic distortion  
(THD) than other mixers in its class. Glass epoxy PC boards, surface mount  
technology, and faders that don't bleed add to the superior construction stan-  
dards. This equates to a cleaner, more transparent sound, allowing your  
music to be heard the way it was meant to. We’re proud to bring you the new  
look, feel and sound of Stanton.

12. Cue FX: Sends the effected signal from the FX Loop to the Headphone Cue for  
monitoring (see Section-B.) This allows DJs to hear what the FX Loop sounds like,  
before sending it to the Master Outputs.  
13. Split Cue: Controls how the CUE will be heard in the headphones. In the "stereo"  
position, the pre-selected Cue (#41) will be heard as a stereo signal in the head-  
phones (full stereo audio signal in both ears.) In "split" position, the pre-selected Cue  
(#41) will be heard on one side of the headphones, while the Master Output (#6) sig-  
nal is heard on the other side (different audio signals in each ear.)  
14. Headphone Output 1: Connection for 1/4 inch headphone (phono-jack.)  
Recommended headphone impedance is 32-200 ohms for maximum volume.  
15. Headphone Output 2: Connection for 1/8 inch headphone (mini-jack.)  
Recommended headphone impedance is 32-200 ohms for maximum volume.  
16. Cue Level: Controls the overall headphone output level of both output jacks. It is  
recommended headphones with an impedance rating of 200 ohms or less be used for  
maximum volume.  
17. Cue Pan: This controls the blend of audio signals that can be heard in the head-  
phones. In the left-most “Cue” position, only channels selected by the Cue Assign  
switches (#41) will be heard. In the right-most “Master” position, ony signals being  
sent to the Master Output (#6) will be heard in the headphones. Any setting in-  
between provides a mix of both Cue and Master signals. This gives DJs the flexibili-  
ty to choose how they wish to monitor audio signals, based on personal preference  
and technique.

18. Fader Start (A): Activates this side (A) of the Crossfader (#19) for use with com-  
ponents with the Fader Start feature. Moving the crossfader away from the left-most  
position will cause the device (CD / Turntable) to start playing. This allows DJs to  
activate a device by using the fader as if they were pressing Play. [Fader Start com-  
patible device (CD / Turntable) is required. Fader Start cables need to be connect-  
ed between the device and the appropriate input channel on the rear of the mixer.]  
19. Crossfader: Controls the audio signal that is sent to the Outputs (Section C.)  
When the Crossfader is in the left-most position (A), only the channel(s) set to (A)  
on their Crossfader Assign switch (#43) will be sent to the Outputs. When the  
Crossfader is in the right-most position (B), only the channel(s) set to (B) on their  
Crossfader Assign switch (#43) will be sent to the Outputs. This allows DJs to fade  
(mix) or cut (scratch) between different audio signals. When the Crossfader is  
somewhere in between the two extremes, a “blend” or “mix” between two signals  
occurs. [Note: if NO line channel(s) have been set to either A or B (using #43) then  
the Crossfader is bypassed. Also, if the appropriate Channel Fader (Line Fader)  
(#42) is set to zero, no sound will be output.]  
20. Fader Start (B): Activates this side (B) of the Crossfader (#19) for use with com-  
ponents with the Fader Start feature. Moving the crossfader away from the right-  
most position will cause the device (CD / Turntable) to start playing. This allows DJs  
to activate a device by using the fader as if they were pressing Play. [Fader Start  
compatible device (CD / Turntable) is required. Fader Start cables need to be con-  
nected between the device and the appropriate input channel on the rear of the  
mixer.]  
21. Crossfader Curve: Controls the shape of the Crossfader (#19) curve. When  
the knob is turned all the way to the left “Fade” setting, the action of the Crossfader  
becomes a long, smooth curve (used primarily for mixing or blending.) When the  
knob is turned all the way to the right “Cut” setting, the action of the Crossfader  
becomes an extremely sharp curve (used primarily for scratching and cutting.) TIP:  
This is a gradual control knob, therefore DJs can place the fader where they want  
the audio to increase and use this curve control to set (fine tune) the curve point and  
the way the Crossfader responds to movement.

28. Mic-2 Level: Controls the output level (volume) of Microphone 2 only.  
29. Mic EQ (HIGH): Controls High frequency equalization for BOTH micro-  
phones (+10/-10 dB.) [Note: Any changes made to EQ settings will affect the  
overall output level of the microphones].  
30. Mic EQ (MID): Controls Mid frequency equalization for BOTH micro-  
phones (+10/-10 dB.) [Note: Any changes made to EQ settings will affect the  
overall output level of the microphones].  
31. Mic EQ (LOW): Controls Low frequency equalization for BOTH micro-  
phones (+10/-10 dB.) [Note: Any changes made to EQ settings will affect the  
overall output level of the microphones].  
32. Send FX: Turns the FX send ON / OFF for all microphones, and routes  
the Microphone signal to the FX Send bus (#3) (for use with external effects  
processor / FX Loop.)  
33. Mic Selector: Turns the mic(s) On or Off and activates the automatic  
Talk-over circuit. When activated, the automatic talk-over circuit reduces the  
music output allowing the mic to appear louder than the master audio signal.

34. Input selector switch: Selects phono or line input for the corresponding  
channel. This is a three way switch allowing input from only one device at a  
time (Phono or either of two Line level inputs (for connections in rear panel of  
mixer, see Sections N-R.)  
35. Channel EQ (HIGH): Controls High frequency equalization of correspon-  
ding channel (+9/-64 dB.) [Note: -64dB = complete KILL of frequency. Any  
changes made to EQ settings will affect the overall output level of this chan-  
nel]  
36. Channel Gain: Controls the input level (GAIN) of the corresponding  
channel. This control is Pre-EQ. Gain levels will differ between various types  
of devices (such as turntables or CD players) or different types of media. The  
Channel Gain allows DJs to compensate for these differences in order to  
maintain consistent sound levels between different pieces of music, as well  
as consistency between the different mixer channels. Be aware that turning

this setting too high may result in a loss of sound quality (distortion.) [Note:  
For best results set this control in the number 7 (2 O'Clock) position for unity  
gain. If further adjustment is needed, this is a good reference point.]  
37. Channel EQ (MID): Controls Mid frequency equalization of correspon-  
ding channel (+9/-64 dB.) [Note: -64dB = complete KILL of frequency. Any  
changes made to EQ settings will affect the overall output level of this chan-  
nel]  
38. Channel Input Meter: Displays the input level of this channel. The input  
level is determined by the Channel Gain controls (see #36.) Red indicates  
clipping.

ding channel (+9/-64 dB.) [Note: -64dB = complete KILL of frequency. Any  
changes made to EQ settings will affect the overall output level of this chan-  
nel]  
40. Send FX: Turns the effect send ON / OFF for this channel. This switch  
routes the audio signal to the effects send bus (#3), for use with external  
effects processor / FX Loop (see Section B.)  
41. Cue (assign): Selects the channel to be monitored via headphone Cue  
(Section D.)  
42. Channel Fader (Line Fader): Controls the output level of the correspon-  
ding channel. This control is Post-EQ and when NOT using Crossfader  
Assign (#43) the signal is sent directly to the master output.  
43. Crossfader Assign (A-B- BYPASS): Controls where the audio signal for  
this channel will be sent; either to the Crossfader (#19) or to Master Output  
(#6.) When set to A, this channel will be assigned to the left side of the  
Crossfader; When set to B, this channel will be assigned to the right side of  
the Crossfader. When set to BYPASS, the Crossfader will be bypassed alto-  
gether and the audio is sent straight from the Line Fader (#42) to the Master  
Output (Section C.) [Note: This allows the DJ to mix with or without using the  
Crossfader].

Application Example  
This is a typical setup you’ll find in many nightclubs: 2 turntables, 2 CD play-  
ers, plus a microphone for the DJ. Here’s how you would set up your equip-  
ment with the RM.406:  
1. Be sure all equipment is powered “OFF” and all of theRM.406’s Channel  
faders and Level knobs are at minimum volume.  
2. Connect the turntables to the Phono inputs of Channels 1 and 4. Be sure  
the rear-panel toggle switch for Channel 4 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 inputs of Channels 2 and 3. (if your CD play-  
er supports fader start connect applicable cables)  
4. If your CD players support Fader Start, connect the mini-cables and set the  
Fader Start switches to “ON”.  
5. Depending on the type of cable you have, connect your microphone to the  
Mic1, 2, or 3 (1/4” / XLR) input.  
6. 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.  
7. If you wish to use an effects processer (sold separately) connect the appro-  
priate cables from the send output connecters of the mixer to the IN on your  
processer. Then connect appropriate cabless from the OUT of your process-  
er to the RETURN on the rear connections of the mixer.  
8. Set the Input Selectors on the front panel to the appropriate inputs for each  
channel.  
9. Power everything up and carefully adjust the input levels using the Input  
Gain knobs and Mic Level knob.  
10 Slowly raise the Channel faders, Master fader, Booth level, Zone level and  
Mic level as appropriate and start mixing!
