4. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Pronomic DX-26 MKII mixer, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior of the mixer. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no liquid enters the unit. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Dust Protection: When not in use, cover the mixer to protect it from dust accumulation, which can affect faders and knobs.
  • Storage: Store the mixer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Fader Care: The ultra-glide faders are designed for smooth operation. Avoid applying excessive force or using lubricants not specifically designed for audio equipment faders.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your DX-26 MKII mixer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
No sound output
  • Power not connected or switched off.
  • Master volume or channel faders are down.
  • Incorrect input selected (Line/Phono).
  • Cables are loose or faulty.
  • Amplifier/speakers are off or muted.
  • Ensure power is on and LED is lit.
  • Increase Master volume and relevant channel faders.
  • Verify input selector matches source (Line for CD, Phono for turntable).
  • Check all audio cables for secure connection and integrity.
  • Ensure connected amplifier/speakers are powered on and unmuted.
Distorted sound
  • Input level too high (clipping).
  • Incorrect input sensitivity (e.g., Line source into Phono input).
  • Faulty cables or audio source.
  • Reduce input volume from the source or lower channel faders until the LED level indicator does not consistently hit red.
  • Ensure the correct Line/Phono switch setting.
  • Test with different cables or audio sources to isolate the problem.
Microphone not working
  • Microphone volume knob is low.
  • Microphone is faulty or switched off.
  • Incorrect microphone type (e.g., condenser mic requiring phantom power, which this mixer does not provide).
  • Increase the MIC knob level.
  • Check if the microphone is switched on and functioning.
  • Ensure you are using a dynamic microphone compatible with the 6.3mm input.

If the problem persists after trying these solutions, please contact Pronomic customer support or your retailer.
