  • There is a Stereo/Mono switch on the Numark 5000FX. If you switch this to Mono, you may be able to use just one cable (e.g. Right Output to Power Stand Channel 1). Try it both ways. See which you prefer.
  • Turn Phantom Power Off (buttons up). This is used when connection condenser microphones directly to Power Stand Channels 1 or 2. You do not need phantom power when connecting to your mixer.
  • Set trim so that when playing music normally the lights are green with flickers of red. (not solid red)
  • Set the Presets - this is up to you. Try 00, then 57, then 58.

Let your ears tell you which presets work best for you.

Outputs

XLR Balanced +14 dBV

The nominal output of the XLR Balanced Outputs is too high for the XLR inputs on the PS1 Power Stand Channels 1 and 2. If you want to use balanced cables from the Mixer to Channels 1/2 on the L1 Classic or L1 Model I you may need to use a Pad to lower the signal level from the mixer.

{{#Click:Pad|Image:Pad.jpg|Attenuation Pad}} If you want to use the XLR outputs, you will likely need to use the Master Gain Reduction beside the XLR Outputs on the Numark 5000FX


RCA to ¼ Inch

The RCA outputs provide a signal at a level that is suitable (+14 dBV) for the ¼ inch phone jack inputs on Power Stand channels 1,2 3 or 4.

To use these you will need an adapter or special cable to convert from RCA to ¼ inch phone jacks.

Which Power Stand Inputs
