1. INTRODUCTION  
an excellent DJ mixer  
offering remarkable  
Your purchase of the BEHRINGER PRO MIXER DX626 has put  
you at the forefront of today’s trends in DJ mixing consoles.  
Numerous features such as the talkover function and the beat  
counter enable you to work in completely new and creative  
ways. The DX626 is a mixer for professional use, it is extremely  
easy to operate and it helps you give free rein to your creativity.  
functions with maximum  
flexibility and performance.  
The task of designing  
our new PRO MIXER  
certainly meant a great deal of responsibility which we assumed  
by focusing on you, the discerning user and DJ. Meeting your  
expectations also meant a lot of work and effort. But it was fun,  
too. Developing a product usually brings a lot of people together,  
and what a great feeling it is when everybody who has  
participated in such a project can be proud of what they’ve  
achieved.  
Time is tight, and if you don’t want to be left in the dust you’d  
better get moving. To help you along, we have developed an  
excellent DJ mixing console with the most popular new features  
and technologies. It is perfectly suited for use in dance clubs or  
for DJ systems and is sure to deliver tons of pure fun.  
It is our philosophy to share our enjoyment with you, because  
you are the most important member of the BEHRINGER team.  
With your highly competent suggestions for new products you’ve  
made a significant contribution to shaping our company and making  
it successful. In return, we guarantee you uncompromising quality  
(manufactured under ISO9000 certified management system)  
as well as excellent technical and audio properties at an extremely  
reasonable price. All of this will enable you to give free rein to  
your creativity without being hampered by budget constraints.  
Be honest: who really likes to read manuals? We know you  
want to get started right away, but it is only after reading these  
instructions that you will fully understand and be able to properly  
use all the features your DX626 has to offer. Take the time to  
read everything through!  
+
This manual first describes the terminology used,  
so that you can fully understand the DX626 and its  
functions. Please read the manual carefully and keep  
it for future reference.  
We are often asked how we manage to produce such high-  
quality devices at such unbelievably low prices. The answer is  
quite simple: it’s you, our customers! Many satisfied customers  
mean large sales volumes enabling us to get better purchasing  
terms for components, etc. So it’s only fair to pass this benefit on  
to you, isn’t it? Because we know that your success is our  
success too!  
1.1 Before you begin  
Your DX626 was carefully packed in the factory and the  
packaging is designed to protect the unit from rough handling.  
Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the  
packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage  
that may have occurred during transit.  
I would like to thank all of those who have made the PRO MIXER  
possible. You have all made your own personal contributions,  
from the developers to the many other employees at this company,  
and to you, the BEHRINGER user.  
+
If the unit is damaged, please do NOT return it to  
BEHRINGER, but notify your dealer and the shipping  
company immediately. Otherwise claims for  
damage or replacement may not be granted.  
To avoid overheating, ensure that there is enough space  
around the unit for cooling and that the device is not placed near  
other devices giving off heat.  
My friends, it’s been worth the effort!  
Thank you very much,  
WARNING!  
Uli Behringer  
+
We would like to point out that high volume may  
damage your hearing and/or your headphones.  
Please turn the MASTER control all the way to the  
left before turning on the device. Always make  
sure that the appropriate volume is set.

1. INTRODUCTION  
 
PRO MIXER DX626  
2. CONTROL ELEMENTS  
Fig. 2.1: The PRO MIXER DX626’s front panel  
The MIC/LINE–PHONO switch allows you to choose  
2.1 Front panel  
between the microphone signal and the line or phono  
signal on channel 1. The position of the rear panel PHONO/  
The MIC INPUT is the balanced XLR connector for your  
LINE switch (see  
) determines whether the input is  
dynamic microphone.  
switched to the phono or the line level setting of the right-  
hand switch position.  
The GAIN control is used to line up the input signal of  
each channel.  
On channels 2 and 3 you determine the input signals with  
the PHONO/LINE switch. “Phono” is intended for  
connecting a turntable. “Line” must be selected for all  
other signal sources (e. g. CD or MD players).  
Each input channel has a 3-band equalizer (HIGH, MID  
and LOW) with kill characteristic. Thus, the signal can be  
lowered to a much greater extent (-32 dB) than it can be  
raised (+12 dB). This function can be very useful when,  
for example, fading a frequency range out of a music  
track.  
+
Never connect devices with line level to the highly  
sensitive phono inputs! The output level of phono  
pick-up systems is measured in millivolts,  
whereas CD players and tape decks have levels  
measured in volts, i.e. the level from line signals  
is up to 100 times higher than that of the phono  
inputs.  
+
The total level also depends on the EQ setting.  
Thus, you should adjust the equalizer before  
regulating the level with the GAIN control.  
2. CONTROL ELEMENTS

PRO MIXER DX626  
Adjust the channel volume with the CHANNEL fader.  
2.2 Rear panel  
The PRO MIXER has a talkover function. This feature is  
actually quite simple: by pushing the TALK button, the  
signal of the other input channels is lowered (TALK LED  
lights up), enabling your voice to be heard more clearly  
over the microphone.  
The MASTER control determines the output volume at the  
MASTER output (see  
).  
A BALANCE control for the MASTER output is for shaping  
the stereo image.  
The BOOTH control determines the output volume at the  
BOOTH output (see  
).  
The CUE control determines the volume of the headphones  
signal (PFL signal).  
+
The PFL signal is your headphones signal. It  
enables you to preview music without affecting  
the MASTER signal. The headphone channel signal  
is taken pre- fader (PFL=Pre-Fader Listening).  
With the three buttons CH-1, CH-2 and CH-3, you determine  
the signal source for the headphones signal. You can  
preview the channels individually or listen to all three  
simultaneously.  
The MASTER/CUE fader allows you to control the volume  
ratio between the input channels’ signal and the MASTER  
signal on your headphones.  
Here you can read the volume level of the PFL and MASTER  
signals from three, 10-character LED displays. The lower  
LED chain displays the PFL signal and the two upper  
LEDs display the right and left MASTER signals.  
The PRO MIXER DX626 BPM counter is an extremely useful  
feature. It ensures smooth transition from one track to the  
next, making your session an absolute success. It can  
calculate the various tempi of tracks in bpm (beats per  
minute). The left display indicates the tempo on channel 2  
and the right display shows the tempo on channel 3.  
The CROSSFADER is for crossfading between channels  
2 and 3.  
This is the connector for a commercially available 12-volt  
BNC lamp.  
Turn on the DX626 with the POWER button.  
Fig. 2.3: The DX626 rear connectors  
With the exception of the microphone and headphone  
connectors, the PRO MIXER DX626 only has cinch jacks, which  
can be found on the rear panel of the console.  
This is the INPUT 1 input for channel 1. It can be switched  
to phono or line input sensitivity.  
With the PHONO/LINE switch at the channel 1 input you  
can choose between LINE and PHONO input. However,  
in order to do that, the MIC/LINE–PHONO switch on the  
front panel must be switched to LINE–PHONO (see  
).  
The PHONO inputs from channels 2 and 3 are also for  
connecting turntables.  
These are the LINE inputs from channels 2 and 3 for  
connecting tape decks, CD or MD players etc.  
Fig. 2.2: Headphones connector  
The GND connectors ground the turntables.  
The HEADPHONES connector enables you to preview  
pieces of music (PFL signal) on your headphones. Your  
headphones should have a minimum impedance of  
32 ohms.  
Using the TAPE output you can record your music by  
connecting devices such as tape decks, DAT recorders  
etc. Unlike the MASTER and BOOTH outputs, the output  
volume is fixed, making it necessary for you to adjust the  
input level on the recording device.

connect an amplifier. It is controlled by the BOOTH control  
on the front panel. Through this output you can operate  
monitor speakers or even provide another area with sound.

Always turn the power amps on last to avoid inrush  
currents that can easily damage your speakers.  
And, to avoid sudden and unpleasant surprises  
for your ears, make sure there is no signal at the  
DX626 before turning on the power amps. To be  
sure, slide all the faders to the bottom and switch  
all controls to zero.

This is the connector for the power cable. This is where  
the advantage of the sophisticated internal power supply  
can be seen: the pulse behaviour of each amplifying circuit  
is mainly determined by the voltage reserves available.  
Each mixing console is equipped with numerous  
operational amplifiers (op amps) to process line level  
signals. Due to limited output of their power supplies,  
many mixing consoles show signs of “stress” when  
subjected to heavy loads. But not your DJX400: the sound  
is always clear and transparent.

units, the fuse holder can be switched to one of two  
positions, i.e. 230 V and 115 V. N.B: should you desire to  
operate the unit outside Europe at 115 V, a higher fuse  
rating is required.
