OWNER’S MANUAL

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE

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.

When Stanton set out to

design its new M.304 3-

Channel DJ Mixer, compro-

mise was not an option. This

10" professional mixer

boasts a wide range of intu-

itive controls, superb sound,

and high-quality components

including a genuine Penny &

Giles crossfader.

Whether mixing house, tech-

no or trance from vinyl or

CDs, the M.304 has got all

the bases covered, thanks to

3 phono inputs, 6 line inputs and 2 mic inputs with independent EQ. Each

channel sports gain control, bright input LED meters, a 3-band EQ with

full Kill capability, as well as Pan knobs. The M.304 also sports a full-fea-

tured Cue section which includes PFL, Cue Pan, and dual headphone

outputs for tag-team mixing.

Professional DJs will immediately appreciate the M.304s 3-band Kill

switches for channels 1 and 3, conveniently located right next to the

crossfader. For creative mixing, the M.304 also offers an Effects loop with

1/4" Send and Return jacks. This mixer is rounded out with professional

balanced Master outputs, separate Booth output, and a user-replaceable

fader design.

M.304 FEATURES

DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS

1. Microphone 1 input - This combo (1/4”/XLR) connector is used to

connect a microphone. The volume is controlled by the MIC 1 knob.

2. Microphone 2 input - This 1/4” connector is used to connect a

microphone. The volume is controlled by the MIC 2 knob.

3. Mic 1 level - Controls the input level of Microphone input 1.

4. Mic 2 level - Controls the input level of Microphone input 2.

5. Mic equalizer - Individual controls for high frequency, midrange, and

low frequency equalization. The EQ controls both Microphone inputs.

Note: Any changes made to EQ settings will change the overall out-

put level.

6. Effect assign - Used to assign the effect signal to each channel or

the mic. The level of the effect is controlled by the Send and Return

knobs.

7. Pre fader listen - Selects the channel(s) - 1, 2, or 3 - to be pre-

viewed in the headphones.

8. Channel faders - Controls the output volume of each channel. The

signal is routed to the line faders after the gain, EQ, pan, and effects.

9. Crossfader - The crossfader is used to cross fade between channels

1 and 3.

10. Kill switches - Kill switches are used to completely eliminate Hi,

Mid, or Low frequencies from the audio. This can be used as a per-

formance effect.

11. Headphone outputs - This is the headphone output jack to connect

your headphones.

12. 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.

13. Cue level - Controls the volume of the headphone output.

14. Booth level - Controls the booth output level. This is basically a 2nd

output. It is usually used for monitoring in a DJ booth, but can be

used for various applications.

15/16. Effect Levels - Send and Return levels are used to control the

volume of the external effects unit connected to the M.304 using the

jacks labeled ‘send’ and ‘return’ on the back of the mixer. 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. the

signal sent to the unit is selected by pushing the ‘FX LOOP’ button.

17. Master output Pan- This is the pan or balance control for the mast

output.

DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS

18. Master output level - Controls the overall output level of the mixer.

19. Output meters - These LEDs let you know if the audio coming out

of the mixer is loud enough (or too loud!). If the LEDs reach the red,

the mixer is probably clipping, or distorting.

20. Input selectors - These toggle switches select the input source

between phono and line for each channel.

21. Input gains - Controls the input sensitivity level of each channel. An

LED meter is provided on each of the 3 channels for proper adjust-

ment of the levels.

22. Channel equalizer - Individual controls for high frequency,

midrange, and low frequency equalization with +9dB/Kill adjust-

ments. Note: Any changes made to EQ settings will change the over-

all output level.

23. Channel pans - Controls left/right output balance of each channel.

DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS

Power: This is the power switch to turn the mixer "ON" or "OFF"

AC IN: This is the Input connection for the included power supply.

Send and Return: These connectors are used to connect an outboard

signal processor (such as the Stanton DFX-1). Connect a 1/4” mono

cable from the SEND output to the Line In on your signal processor.

Connect the RETURN input to the Line Out on your signal processor.

Your effects loop should now be working. Check it by turning the send

and return volume knobs to the center position (12 o’clock) and select-

ing FX LOOP on any of the mixer’s channels.

Line: Line inputs (represented by the letter L, followed by the input

number) are used to connect to line level sources such as CD players,

Mini Discs, DATs, samplers, etc.

TT: TT (or phono) inputs are used to connect to turntables.

Ground: Connects to the turntable ground cable to eliminate electrical

hum. Ground cables are usually supplied with turntables.

Master: Connects to an amplifier, EQ, crossover, or other outboard sig-

nal processing.

Booth: This is a second output, like the master output. It is usually used

as a separate output in the DJ Booth for the DJ to monitor the mix.

REC: This is the record output. The output level is static in this case,

there are no volume controls. It is used to connect directly to tape or CD

recorders. The volume can be set from the recording device.

Removing a fader:

1. Make sure mixer is powered off and power supply is disconnected from

back of mixer.

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 connector on the bot-

tom of the fader.

Installing a fader:

1. Once original fader has been removed, simply plug the 4-pin connec-

tor into the new fader.

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 cen-

tralizing of the fader. If you desire to keep your fader`s current mount-

ing position we suggest that you make 2 marks on both ends of the

fader on the fader plate to indicate the P&G fader position.) See Figure

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 wiping the wiper contacts and slider bearings (E)

using a tissue or cotton bud. If slider bearing

are excessively worn, as indicated by exces-

sive slider rocking then contact Stanton for

replacement.

3. Remove the single upper screw on the oppo-

site end block to remove the guide rail. Clean

the guide rail (F) with a tissue or cloth, remov-

After constant use the M.304 faders may need to be cleaned and lubri-

cated from time to time. This will ensure long life and keep a smooth

feeling throughout the fader's lifetime. Follow the instructions below to

lubricate and clean your faders:

FADER CLEANING AND REPLACEMENT

Figure 1

ing all traces of dirt and contamination.

4. Remove the fader track (G) by slowly withdrawing 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 thor-

oughly 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.

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 slider 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 com-

ing 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.)
