ROTARY EMPATH

DJ MIXER

Introduction

e Empath 10" format mixer oﬀers big-board features and studio quality sound. e mixer is feature packed, yet easy and intui-

tive to use. How did we pull it oﬀ? We asked the master — Grandmaster Flash is responsible for many of the important features and

control locations, even the name. “Empath” implies understanding, insight and feeling. When you use the mixer, you’ll get it. e

Empath mixer is designed for professional applications: large club, broadcast, competition, remix, live sound. e Empath oﬀers a

combination of features, compact size and quality presently unavailable at any price.

3 fully equipped stereo input channels

• One Phono and one Line Input for each channel.

°Be sure to connect each turntable ground to the Phono GND terminal.

°PHONO/LINE source switch selects the Input for each channel.

• ±12 dB input GAIN trims adjust for +0 dB on the CUE Meter.

• Left/Right, constant-level PAN controls:

°e loudness stays the same in the room as you Pan left to right.

• 3-band, full-cut tone controls:

°+6 dB boost to full-cut (oﬀ).

°2nd-order Linkwitz-Riley ﬁlter topology.

°Low-Mid crosspoint is 300 Hz.

°Mid-High crosspoint is 4 kHz.

• EQ engage switch allows “transform” EQ eﬀects.

• DRY/WET Pan controls:

°Use to split signal between DRY (no eﬀect) and WET (FlexFx loop).

°See FlexFx Loop section for details.

• A-POST-B Crossfader assignment

°Input channels are assignable to A-side, B-side or Post-Crossfader.

After GAIN trim

After EQ

Before the channel Fader

• Enable by setting the Input 1-2-3 Auto-Gain switch to the “in” position.

°Green indicator will light.

°Auto-Gain is engaged for all three channels or none.

• Target Level: 0 dBu = No gain change.

• reshold: –16 dBu

°Minimum level required for Auto-Gain operation.

°If the signal is below –16 dB, the gain holds indeﬁnitely.

• Ratio = 3:1

°3 dB increase or decrease in input level results in 1 dB increase/decrease in output level.

• Turns the gain down at a rate of 32 dB per second.

• Turns the gain up at a rate of 5.33 dB per second.

Level Meters

• Level Meters have two modes of operation:

°Stereo Main output

°Cue Monitor.

• Meter mode switch set to MAIN “out”:

°Meter displays the level at the Main output, after the Main output LEVEL control.

• Meter mode switch set to CUE “in”:

°Meter displays whatever is selected by the Cue and Headphone monitoring circuit.

°is is the same signal heard in the headphones.

°Monitor any combination of the ﬁve individual Cue signals

-or- A-side auto-cue

-or- B-side auto-cue.

°Split Cue metering is the same as split cue monitoring in the headphones:

Mono-Cue in the left, Mono-Master in the right.

• Unbalanced ¼" Tip/Sleeve SEND jacks.

• Unbalanced ¼" Tip/Sleeve RETURN jacks.

• FlexFX RETURN CUE

°FlexFX RETURN CUE is before the RETURN level control.

°Allows Cuing eﬀects before bringing into mix:

Set FlexFX RETURN to minimum.

Adjust desired DRY/WET pan control to send signal to the eﬀects processor.

Set A-CUE-B switch to center CUE position.

Engage FlexFX RETURN CUE “in”.

Monitor the eﬀect in the headphones.

Bring the eﬀect into the master mix by increasing FlexFX RETURN Level

• Important reminders when using the FlexFX Return Cue:

°e FlexFX Loop is after the channel Fader and Crossfader.

You will hear nothing in the Return Cue if the signal is turned down by the channel Fader.

You will hear nothing in the Return Cue if the signal is turned down by the Crossfader

°For a signal to reach the FlexFX Loop:

One or more of the four DRY/WET pan controls must be set for some WET.

e Send Level must be turned up.

°To send DRY (no eﬀect) signal to the Master mix while you Cue the WET signal:

Set the DRY/WET pan control in the middle.

If you set it to WET with the FlexFX RETURN down, you will lose the signal in the Master mix.

If you set it to DRY, nothing is sent to the FlexFX Loop.

°Setting any DRY/WET Pan control to its center position sends an equal signal to the Master mix and the FlexFX Loop.

• RETURN level control:

°Oﬀ to +6 dB

°Use in combination with the DRY/WET pan controls to determine how much eﬀect is in the Master mix.

°Increases the signal level of low voltage eﬀects processors to the higher levels possible with the Empath.

Service Instructions for the Penny & Giles X3000 Series Crossfader

Introduction

is section describes how to service the Penny & Giles PGFX3000 Series crossfader. Servicing is limited to cleaning, re-lubri-

cation and replacement of some components, such as the slider and track assembly. Periodic maintenance of these parts provides a

smooth operating feel and extends the life of the unit. Cleaning of the unit is necessary if it is used in dirty or dusty environments or

if contaminants have reached inside. e fader must be removed from the panel before servicing.

Spare Part

Description Penny & Giles Part No. Rane Part Number

PGFX3000 D460621 12206 (shown right)

Instructions

1. Remove the two screws from the end of the fader where the

wires exit, and pull away the end block. Withdraw the dust

cover and damping washer. Taking great care remove the

slider assembly, ensuring the wiper contacts are not damaged

as this aﬀects operation. Cleaning of the slider assembly is

possible by gently wiping the wiper contacts and slider bear-

ings using a tissue or cotton bud. If the slider bearings are

excessively worn, as seen by excessive slider rocking, a replace-

ment assembly should be ﬁtted.

2. Clean the guide rod, using a tissue or cloth, removing all

traces of dirt or contamination.

3. Remove the track by carefully withdrawing from the unit and

placing face up on the desk. It may be cleaned with a lint free

cloth, rubbing ﬁrmly along the track so no debris remains.

If necessary, the track can be washed in warm water, wiped

gently and then dried thoroughly using a dry cloth. When

dry, wipe with a lint free cloth and check for marks along the

track. (Note: Lint-free clothes are recommended to avoid dust

or ﬁbers from being deposited). If the track appears worn, or

if cleaning does not improve operation, replacement may be

necessary.

4. Examine the centre channel of the fader body and if dirty,

clean using cotton buds.

5. Re-assemble and lubricate the fader as follows:

a) Hold the fader body so the end block is to your right, as

shown below (the label may be on either side).

a) Insert the slider assembly onto the guide rod and into the

fader body, with the contacts facing away from you.

b) Insert the track into the back of the fader body with the

track contacts facing you (to meet the slider contacts).

c) Lubricate the guide rod by placing one small drop of silicon

oil, using a cocktail stick, either side of the slider assembly.

Move the slider from end to end in order to disperse the oil

evenly. Carefully wipe away any excess oil using a tissue or

cloth.

e) Insert the dust cover and damping washer. Hold in place

while securing the remaining end block. Be sure track wires

exit the bottom of the fader body and are not pinched.

6. Once assembled, move the slider from end to end and ensure

operation is smooth.

Empath Rotary Fader

Replacement

e main channel faders in the Rotary

Empath are sealed to prevent contamina-

tion. Cleaning is not possible, they must be

replaced if damaged. e pot is Rane part

#15422, and may be ordered from the Rane

factory within the U.S.A., or your distributor

outside the U.S.A. Follow these directions:

1. Required Tools: #1 Philips screwdriver,

small wrench.

2. Disconnect the power.

3. Remove knobs from controls covered by

the lower Lexan faceplate.

4. Remove the four screws attaching the

Lexan faceplate.

5. Remove the Lexan faceplate as seen here.

6. e three rotary pots are mounted on a

separate plate. Remove the six screws hold-

ing the fader mounting plate.

7. Lift the plate out of the chassis and rotate

it up as in the photo below.

8. Carefully disconnect the ribbon connector

from the fader assembly.

9. Use a small wrench to remove the nut

holding the fader to the plate.

10. Insert the new fader where the old one

was. Fasten the nut so the ribbon connec-

tor aims to the left as in the photo below.

Attach the ribbon connector.

11. To reassemble, reverse the disassembly

procedure.
