Introduction  
Congratulations on purchasing a Gemini Platinum Series model PS-626  
PRO2 mixer. This state of the art mixer is backed by a three year  
warranty, excluding crossfader and channel slides. Prior to use, we  
suggest that you carefully read all the instructions.  
6. Headphones can be plugged into the front panel mounted  
HEADPHONE (4) jack.  
Features  
7. The PS-626 PRO2 comes with a front panel BNC LIGHT (5) jack.  
This jack is for use with a gooseneck light like the Gemini GNL-700.  
Cut Feature for Low, Mid and High of each channel  
3 Stereo channels (3 Phono, 3 Line and 1 Mic)  
1/4" DJ Mic jack  
Using the Ground Lift Switch  
Low, Mid, High and Gain controls on each channel  
Beat indicators  
Depending on your system configuration, sometimes applying the  
ground will create a quieter signal path. Sometimes lifting the ground  
can eliminate ground loops and hum to create a quieter signal path.  
12 volt BNC light jack  
1. With the mixer on, listen to the system in idle mode (no signal  
present) with the ground applied (the GROUND LIFT SWITCH (41)  
in the left position).  
Master, Booth and Record outputs  
Dual mode display (Left & Right output or Channel 2 and Channel 3)  
Push button cueing with Cue/Program pan control  
2. Then turn the power off before moving the GROUND LIFT  
SWITCH (41). Lift the ground by moving the GROUND LIFT SWITCH  
to the right, turn the power back on and listen to determine which  
position will provide a signal devoid of background noise and hum.  
Keep the GROUND LIFT SWITCH in the ground position if the noise  
level remains the same in either position.  
Cautions  
1. All operating instructions should be read before using this  
equipment.  
CAUTION: DO NOT TERMINATE THE AC GROUND ON THE POWER  
MIXER IN ANY WAY. TERMINATION OF THE AC GROUND CAN BE  
HAZARDOUS.  
2. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not open the unit. There  
are NO USER REPLACEABLE PARTS INSIDE. Please refer servicing  
to a qualified service technician.  
In the U.S.A., if you have any problems with this unit,  
call 1-732-969-9000 for customer service. Do not return  
equipment to your dealer.  
Operation  
1. POWER ON: Once you have made all the equipment connections to  
your mixer, press the POWER SWITCH (1). The power will turn on  
and the POWER LED (2) will glow RED.  
3. Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or to a heat source such as  
a radiator or stove.  
2. CHANNEL 1: The GAIN (6), HIGH (7), MID (8), and LOW (9),  
controls allows you to fully adjust the selected source. Switch #  
(10) allows you to select either the mic or the PHONO/LINE (36)  
input. The CHANNEL (13) slide controls the output level of this  
channel.  
4. This unit should be cleaned only with a damp cloth. Avoid solvents  
or other cleaning detergents.  
5. When moving this equipment, it should be placed in its original carton  
and packaging. This will reduce the risk of damage during transit.  
6. DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.  
3. MAIN CHANNEL SECTION: To assign an input source to a channel,  
first set the PHONO/LINE (11,12) switches to their appropriate  
positions. To make the proper adjustments to your music, set the  
GAIN (6), HIGH (7), MID (8) and LOW (9) controls and position the  
CHANNEL (14, 15) slide.  
7. DO NOT USE ANY SPRAY CLEANER OR LUBRICANT ON ANY  
CONTROLS OR SWITCHES.  
NOTE: There is Low, Mid and High equalization for each  
channel with an extremely wide range of adjustment  
giving you a smoother mix.  
Connections  
1. Before plugging in the power cord, make sure that the VOLTAGE  
SELECTOR (30) switch is set to the correct voltage.  
SUGGESTION: You can use the Cut Features on each channel to  
remove Low, Mid and/or High to create special effects.  
NOTE: This product is double insulated and not intended  
4. CROSSFADER SECTION: The CROSSFADER (25) allows the mixing  
of one source into another. The left side of the CROSSFADER (25) is  
channel 2 and the right side is channel 3. The CROSSFADER (25) in  
your unit is removable and if the need arises can be easily replaced.  
Crossfader units are available in three varieties. Part # RF-45  
(which is identical to the crossfader supplied with the mixer) has a  
45 mm travel from side to side. Part # RF-30 is available with a 30  
mm travel distance. Also available is the PSF-45 with a special  
curve designed for scratch mixing. Just purchase one of these  
crossfader units from your Gemini dealer and follow these  
instructions:  
to be grounded.  
2. Make sure that the POWER (1) switch is in the off position. The  
POWER LED (2) will be off.  
3. The PS-626 PRO2 is supplied with 3 sets of output jacks. The  
OUTPUT AMP (38) jacks are used to connect to your main amplifier.  
The OUTPUT REC (40) jacks can be used to connect the mixer to  
the record input of your recorder enabling you to record your mix.  
The OUTPUT BOOTH (39) jacks allow you to hook up an additional  
amplifier.  
4. The DJ MIC (3) input (found on the front panel) accepts a 1/4"  
connector and accepts only unbalanced microphones.

5. BEAT INDICATORS: Each side of the CROSSFADER (25) has its own  
BEAT INDICATOR (23, 24). They flash at the low frequency peak  
level allowing you to match the beats visually. BEAT INDICATOR  
(23) will reflect the beat of the left side of the CROSSFADER (25)  
and BEAT INDICATOR (24) will do the same for the right side.  
6. OUTPUT CONTROL SECTION: The level of the AMP OUT (38) is  
controlled by the MASTER (18) control. The BALANCE (17) control  
will allow the Amp Out signal to be balanced between the left and  
right speakers. The BOOTH (16) control adjusts the level of the  
BOOTH OUTPUT (39). HINT: The booth OUTPUT is used by some  
DJs to run monitor speakers in their DJ booth. You can also use it as  
a second ZONE or AMP output.  
NOTE: The RECORD OUT (40) has no level control.  
The level is set by the channel slides and the gain  
controls of the selected channel. The tonal qualities are  
set by the bass, treble and mid controls of that same  
channel.  
Weight........................................................................6.5 lbs (3 Kg)  
7. TALKOVER SECTION: The purpose of the talkover section is to allow  
the program playing to be muted so that the mic can be heard above  
the music. When the TALKOVER (19) button is pushed, the  
TALKOVER INDICATOR (28) will glow and the volume of all  
sources except the Mic or whatever is connected to the PHONO/  
LINE (36) input are reduced by -16 dB.  
8. CUE SECTION: By connecting a set of headphones to the  
HEADPHONE (4) jack, you can monitor any or all of the channels.  
Select the correct CUE (21) button or buttons and their respective  
CUE LED (29) indicators will glow. Use the CUE LEVEL (20) control  
to adjust the headphone volume without effecting the overall mix. By  
sliding the CUE PGM PAN (22) control to the left you will be able to  
monitor the assigned cue signal. Sliding to the right will monitor the  
PGM (program) output.  
9. DISPLAY: The peak hold, dual function DISPLAY (26) indicates either  
the MASTER (38) output left and right levels or the channel 2 and  
channel 3 levels. You can choose the option you want by pressing  
the DISPLAY (27) button.  
NOTE: When the DISPLAY (27) is in the channel 2/  
channel 3 display mode, by adjusting the individual  
channel gain and tone controls, you can increase or  
decrease the signal to match the other channel’s signal.  
The channel slides and crossfader have no effect on the  
display readings.
