2-deck control
DJ Console 4-Mx controls 2 decks in the same way as DJ Console Rmx.

4-deck control
DJ Console 4-Mx controls both 2 decks and 4 decks, with 2 buttons switching the decks:

• a deck switch button on the left deck converts deck A into C / deck C into A.
• a deck switch button on the right deck converts deck B into D / deck D into B.

• all of the commands that the deck's controls send to the DJ software are changed.
• the letter of the active deck is highlighted in the center of the mixer.

• 4 RCA connectors to connect to a stereo system, a recorder...
• 4 mono connectors in 1/4" jack format, to connect to a public address amplifier or speakers.

The 2 ways of using DJ Console 4-Mx's audio outputs are:
For a mix inside DJ Console 4-Mx:

• connect the speakers/amplifier to outputs 1-2, to play the mix for your audience.
• connect headphones to one of the 2 headphone outputs (front or top), to preview tracks.

• connect DJ Console 4-Mx outputs 1-2 to inputs 1-2 on the external mixer.
• connect DJ Console 4-Mx outputs 3-4 to inputs 3-4 on the external mixer.
• mix on the external mixer, and connect headphones to the external mixer.
• use DJ Console 4-Mx to control the virtual decks.

• Select the audio source type in the DJ Console 4-Mx control panel: phono/consumer line/pro line/boost.
• Boost mode supports +8dBu signal level (for use with Pioneer CDJ players, for example).
• If the audio sources are vinyl turntables at phono level, connect the turntables' ground cables to the DJ Console 4-Mx's grounding screw.

The microphone input can be set:

• as a talk-over source (default mode): the microphone is played on outputs 1-2 over the music in the background, using the music attenuation level set in the DJ Console 4-Mx control panel (0dB, -3dB, -6dB or -9dB).
• or as a standard source, replacing inputs 1-2.
