FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS PRINTED BELOW MAY VOID WARRANTY  
• Follow all security advice printed on your mixer  
• When removing the unit's AC plug from the power source, grasp and pull  
the plug, NEVER the cord itself!  
• Avoid placing your mixer near heat sources, such as power amplifiers.  
• When in use, place your mixer on a stable surface, away from vibration.  
Always use care when carrying your mixer. Impact, or heavy vibration may  
compromise the unit's mechanical integrity. The manufacturer is not  
responsible for damage resulting from an impact, or misuse.  
• When in use, place your mixer away from sources of hum or noise, such as  
transformers, or electric motors.  
To prevent overheating, always provide your mixer with adequate  
ventilation air space.  
• Avoid stepping on your mixer's AC cord. Repeated compression of the cord  
may lead to electrical shorting.  
To avoid damage due to AC voltage peaks, always disconnect your mixer  
from the power source during electrical storms. If possible connect mixer to  
a surge protector.  
Your mixer contains no user-serviceable parts. The manufacturer is not  
responsible for any damage or personal injury resulting from unauthorized  
user-servicing or modifications. In addition, the warranty will be void if any  
unauthorized service by the user is detected. Always return your mixer to  
an authorized Stanton dealer for servicing.

DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS  
C H A N N E L S T R I P S  
GAIN  
Controls the input level of each channel. An LED meter is provid-  
ed on each of the 3 channels.  
HI, MID, LOW (EQ)  
Individual controls for high frequency, midrange, and low fre-  
quency equalization with +9dB/Kill adjustments. Note: Any  
changes made to EQ settings will change the overall output  
level.  
CURVE  
The Line Fader Curve Control adjusts the curve of the input  
faders between short, mid, or long fade.  
PAN  
Controls left/right output balance of each channel.  
REV  
Reverses the direction of each line channel fader. When the line  
fader reverse function is engaged, the volume for that channel  
will be full when the fader is down. As the fader moves upward,  
the volume will decrease.  
FX  
This is an ON/OFF switch for the effects loop. The level is con-  
trolled by the Send and Return knobs. See Master Section for  
details.  
INPUT SELECT  
These toggle switches select the input source between phono  
and line for each channel. The FLASH position can be used for  
transforming and scratching effects.  
LINE FADER  
Controls the output volume of each channel. The signal is routed  
to the line faders after the gain, EQ, pan, and effects.

MASTER  
Controls the overall output level of the mixer.  
SEND RETURN  
Send and Return levels are used to control the volume of the  
external effects unit connected to the SMX.501 using the effects  
loop. SEND is the level of the signal sent to the effect unit, and  
RETURN is the level of the processed signal returning from the  
the effects unit.  
BOOTH LEVEL  
Controls the output level for the booth output. This is basically a  
2nd output. It is usually used for monitoring in a DJ booth, but can  
be used for various applications.  
CUE PAN  
Fades the headphone output between the PFL signal (selected by  
the Cue Select buttons) and master output, effectively allowing  
the user to preview a mix.  
CUE SELECT  
Selects the channel(s) - 1, 2, or 3 - to be previewed in the head-  
phones.  
CFX (Cue FX)  
Routes the signal from the effects to the headphones allowing  
the user to preview the effects mix in the headphones.  
MFX (Master FX)  
Routes the signal sent to the master output through the effects  
loop. This simply means that all audio coming out of the mixer  
will be processed. This is very useful for effects such as filters or  
compressors.

FADER CLEANING AND REPLACEMENT  
After constant use the SMX.501 faders may need to be cleaned and lubricated  
from time to time. This will ensure long life and keep a smooth feeling through-  
out the fader's lifetime. Follow the instructions below to lubricate and clean your  
faders:  
Removing a fader:  
1. Make sure mixer is powered off and power supply is  
disconnected from back of mixer.  
2. To remove the Protekt Panel, take off the 4 main  
fader knobs and then remove the 4 screws located  
at the corners of the panels. Lift the panel to  
remove.  
3. Remove the fader to be cleaned or replaced by  
unscrewing the 2 outer screws on the fader plate  
(removing the 2 inner screws will detach the fader  
from the fader plate).  
4. Disconnect the fader from mixer by removing the 4-  
pin connector on the bottom of the fader.  
Installing a fader:  
1. Once original fader has been removed, simply plug  
the 4-pin connector into the new fader.  
2. There is a recessed button on the left end of the  
front panel which switches the mixer circuit between a  
standard fader and the Focus Fader (not included).  
Use a pin or thin screwdriver to access the button.  
When the LED above the button is lit, the Focus Fader  
circuit is engaged. When using a P&G fader, make  
sure the LED is off.  
3. Place fader back in mixer and replace 2 outer screws to secure fader.  
Cleaning a Penny & Giles fader:  
1. Remove 2 mounting screws from fader plate. (NOTE: The P&G fader is  
designed with floating mounting threads for precise mechanical centralizing of  
the fader. If you desire to keep your fader`s current mounting position we sug-  
gest that you make 2 marks on both ends of the  
fader on the fader plate to indicate the P&G fader  
position.) See Figure 1.  
2. Once fader is removed from unit, remove the two  
screws (A) from the end of the fader body where  
the wires exit the fader casing. Pull away the end  
block. Withdraw the dust cover (B). Taking great  
care, remove the slider assembly (C), ensuring that  
the wiper contacts (D) are not damaged as this will

affect the operation of the fader. Clean

the slider assembly by gently wip-  
ing the wiper contacts and slider  
bearings (E) using a tissue or cot-  
ton bud. If slider bearings are  
excessively worn, as indicated by  
excessive slider rocking then con-  
tact Stanton for replacement.

3. Remove the single upper screw on  
the opposite end block to remove the guide rail.  
Clean the guide rail (F) with a tissue or cloth,  
removing all traces of dirt and contamination.  
G
4. Remove the fader track (G) by slowly withdraw-  
ing from the unit. Place fader track on desk or  
working surface with black contacts facing upwards. If necessary,  
the track can be washed in warm water, wiped gently then dried  
thoroughly using a dry cloth. Use a lint free cloth or swab to wipe  
the tracks and check for marks along the track. (Note: Lint free  
cloth should be used to avoid dust/fibers being deposited on the  
track). If the track appears excessively worn, or if cleaning does  
not improve operation, replacement may be necessary.  
I
5. Examine the center channel of the fader body and if dirty, clean  
using cotton buds.  
6. Re-assemble and lubricate the fader as follows:  
6.1) Secure the end block and guide rail onto the fader body.  
6.2) Insert track into the fader body.  
6.3) Insert slider assembly onto guide rail and into the fader body. Move slid-  
er from end to end to disperse the oil evenly. Carefully wipe away any excess  
oil using a tissue or cloth.  
6.4) Lubricate the guide rail by placing one drop of silicon liquid oil onto the  
guide rail (F).  
6.5) Insert dust cover.  
6.6) Insert fader track back into fader body with wires coming out open end of  
fader body.  
6.7) Secure the remaining end block ensuring that the track wires (I) are not  
pinched between the end block and fader casing.  
7. Once assembled, move the slider from end to end to ensure operation is  
smooth.  
8. Attach fader to fader plate. (NOTE: As noted earlier if you do not want to  
change positioning of fader, keep the 2 fader plate screws loose and shift the  
fader until it is aligned with the marks you created in step 1, then tighten fader  
plate screws.)
