Setup

Proper setup is crucial for the performance of your RMX-30 BT mixer. Follow these steps to connect your equipment.

1. Power Connection

Connect the supplied power cable to the AC IN socket on the rear panel of the mixer and then to a suitable power outlet. Ensure the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting.

The RMX-30 BT offers multiple input options. Connect your audio sources (turntables, CD players, media players, etc.) to the corresponding RCA input jacks on the rear panel.

• Channels 1 & 2: Each channel features switchable PHONO/LINE inputs. Use the PHONO inputs for turntables (ensure your turntables have a ground wire connected to the GND terminal if applicable) and LINE inputs for CD players or other line-level devices.
• Channel 3: This channel provides LINE inputs for additional line-level devices.
• Microphone Input: Connect a microphone to the 6.3 mm MIC input on the front panel.

Connect the mixer's outputs to your amplifier or powered speakers.

• Main Output: Use the balanced XLR outputs for professional connections to PA systems or studio monitors, or the unbalanced RCA outputs for standard connections to home audio systems.
• Record Output: The REC (RCA) output allows you to connect a recording device to capture your mixes.

1. Ensure the mixer is powered on.

Operating Instructions

This section details the functions of the RMX-30 BT's controls and how to use them for mixing.

1. Channel Controls

Each of the three channels features the following controls:

• Input Selector: Switches between PHONO, LINE, or Bluetooth (for channels 1 & 2).
• Gain Control: Adjusts the input level for the channel. Set this to achieve a strong signal without clipping (distortion).
• 3-Band EQ: High, Mid, and Low controls allow you to shape the frequency response of each channel. Turn clockwise to boost, counter-clockwise to cut.
• Channel Fader: Controls the volume of the individual channel.

2. Crossfader

The 45 mm crossfader allows for smooth transitions between Channel 1 and Channel 2. Moving the fader to the left increases the volume of Channel 1 while decreasing Channel 2, and vice-versa. This crossfader is replaceable for extended use.

3. Microphone Channel

The dedicated microphone channel includes:

• Mic Volume: Adjusts the microphone's output level.
• 2-Band EQ: High and Low controls for microphone tone adjustment.
• Mic Gain: Adjusts the input sensitivity for the microphone.

4. Master Output and Monitoring

• Main Level: Controls the overall output volume of the mixer.
• LED Level Meters: Provide visual feedback of the main output signal level. Aim for levels that are strong but do not consistently peak into the red.
• Headphone Output: Connect your headphones to the 6.3 mm jack on the front panel.
• Headphone Volume: Adjusts the listening level for your headphones.
• Cue Mix Function: Allows you to blend the master output with the pre-fader signal of selected channels in your headphones, enabling you to preview tracks before playing them live.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your RMX-30 BT mixer.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior of the mixer. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or waxes.
• Dust Protection: Keep the mixer covered when not in use to prevent dust accumulation, especially in faders and knobs.
• Fader Care: If faders become stiff or noisy, specialized fader lubricant sprays can be used sparingly. Consult a professional if issues persist.
• Storage: Store the mixer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your RMX-30 BT, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps before seeking professional service.

• No Power:
  • Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the mixer and a working power outlet.
  • Check the power switch on the mixer.
  • Test the power outlet with another device.
• No Sound Output:
  • Verify that the Main Level knob is turned up.
  • Check all audio cable connections from the mixer's outputs to your amplifier/speakers.

• Bluetooth Connection Issues:
  • Ensure the mixer is in Bluetooth pairing mode (flashing indicator).
  • Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your source device and it's within range.
  • Forget the device on your smartphone/tablet and try pairing again.
