STEP 1
Turn on DJ Light and connect your controller to the RCA input:
STEP 2
PLUG-IN THE POWER FOR YOUR EQUIPMENT AND SWITCH ON POWER FOR THE MAIN MIXER. THE POWER STRIP FOR YOUR DJ EQUIPMENT IS UNDER THE MAIN PLATFORM WHERE YOUR DJ CONTROLLER SITS. IT IS A GREY POWERSTRIP (NOT PICTURED)
TURN ON THE POWERSTRIP ABOVE THE HOUSE MUSIC SOUND SYSTEM TO TURN ON THE MASTER MIXER FOR THE DJ SOUND SYSTEM.
BE SURE TO TURN THIS STRIP OFF LAST AT THE END OF THE NIGHT
STEP 3
MAKE SURE THE MASTER VOLUME ON THE MAIN MIXER IS ALL THE WAY DOWN, THEN TURN ON THE MASTER POWER SWITCH FOR THE MAIN DJ SPEAKER AMPS
YOU CAN ADJUST THE LEVEL OF THE BOOTH MONITORS WITH THE BIG BLACK VOLUME KNOB, THIS WILL NOT WORK UNTIL YOU HAVE AUDIO GOING TO THE WHOLE SYSTEM. IT IS NOT VERY LOUD AS OUR SYSTEM IS A BIT WEAK IN THE DJ BOOTH BUT IT DOES THE JOB:
STEP 4
SOUND TEST. TURN DOWN THE HOUSE MUSIC SYSTEM MUSIC WITH THE SMALL BLACK KNOB. PUT MUSIC ON YOUR MAIN DJ CONTROLLER, MAKE SURE YOUR OUTPUT LEVELS ARE AT 0-+3 DB AND NO MORE. NO CLIPPING IN THE RED. MAKE SURE THE SOUND GOING TO THE HOUSE MUSIC SYSTEM IS NOT CLIPPING IN THE RED. IF IT IS, TURN DOWN THE “DO NOT TOUCH” KNOB ON THE MASTER DJ MIXER. SLOWLY RAISE THE MASTER VOLUME ON THE DJ MIXER. YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GO VERY HIGH ON IT TO GET A GOOD SOUND IN THE BAR. I
OUTDOOR SPEAKER LEVELS ARE ADJUSTED WITH THE ZONE KNOBS ON THE HOUSE MUSIC AMP. THERE IS A GUIDE TAPED TO THE TOP OF THE AMP TO TELL YOU WHICH ZONE CONTROLS WHICH SPEAKERS. IF A BARTENDER OR SECURITY GUARD ASKS YOU TO ADJUST VOLUME LEVELS THIS IS WHERE YOU WILL MAKE ADJUSTMENTS.
STEP 5
NOW THAT YOU HAVE YOUR SOUND CHECK DONE. YOU CAN STOP YOUR MUSIC, AND TURN THE HOUSE MUSIC VOLUME KNOB BACK UP UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO PLAY. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU TURN THE HOUSE MUSIC KNOB ALL THE WAY DOWN BEFORE YOU START. ALSO, PLEASE TURN THE HOUSE MUSIC VOLUME KNOB ALL THE WAY BACK UP AT THE END OF THE NIGHT WHEN YOU ARE DONE.
FOG MACHINE AND LIGHTS
TO TURN ON THE FOG MACHINE, PLUG IN THE MACHINE BELOW THE DJ BOOTH, IT IS THE POWER PLUG WITH THE BLUE PIECE OF TAPE ON IT. IN A FEW MINUTES THE FOG MACHINE SHOULD BEGIN TO OPERATE.
THE FOG MACHINE SWITCH SHOULD BE SET TO THE RED BUTTON (CONTINUOUS) IN THE CENTER OF THE SWITCH. WHEN IT GETS TOO FOGGY, DEPRESS THE SWITCH. TURN IT BACK ON WHEN YOU WANT MORE FOG. THIS MACHINE IS OLD AND FINIKY AND THIS IS THE ONLY WAY WE CAN GET IT TO SEMI-WORK.
THE LIGHTS ARE A MESS. JUST PUSH RANDOM BUTTONS ON THESE POWER UNITS TO SEE WHAT DOES AND DOES NOT WORK.
MAKE SURE THE POWER FOR THE SMART LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON:
THE SMART DMX LIGHTS NEED TO BE TURNED ON BY TURNING ON THE POWER VIA THIS SMALL WHITE SWITCH LOCATED TO THE RIGHT OF THE LIGHT POWER BUTTONS:
ONCE THIS IS ON AND THE ROPE LIGHT AROUND THE DJ BOOTH IS ON YOU CAN TURN ON THE TABLET:
ONCE TABLET IS ON, NAVIGATE TO THE ADJ MYDMX GO APP, SELECT THE HAMBURGER MENU ON THE LEFT AND SELECT THE myDMXGO DEVICE.
USE THE PRESETS ALONG THE BOTTOM OF THE TABLET SCREEN TO MAKE THE LIGHTS DO DIFFERENT THINGS. PRESET 2-5 SEEM TO BE THE BEST.
END OF NIGHT SHUT DOWN
AT THE END OF THE NIGHT, BRING THE MASTER VOLUME ON THE DJ MIXER ALL THE WAY TO ZERO. STOP YOUR MUSIC. TURN THE HOUSE MUSIC VOLUME KNOB ALL THE WAY UP. NOTHING SHOULD COME OUT OF THE SPEAKERS, BUT IN THE MORNING THE MUSIC WILL TURN BACK ON AUTOMATICALLY, IF THIS KNOB IS ALL THE WAY DOWN IT WILL NOT WORK.
UNPLUG THE FOG MACHINE.
TURN OFF ALL THE DJ LIGHTS. TO STOP THE SMART DMX LIGHTS, SWITCH THE SMALL WHITE SWITCH OFF THEN BACK ON AGAIN, THIS SHOULD STOP THEM FROM WORKING.
TURN OFF THE SECOND AMP POWER SWITCH FIRST
TURN OFF SMALL MIXER POWER STRIP SECOND
TURN OFF THE DJ LIGHT AND YOU SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO.
