Presetting the Controls Before Use
Connecting High Level Output Audio Sources
Since sudden high output levels from your Pyle Pro mixer can damage not only audio devices connected
to the mixer output but your hearing as well (especially if you are using headphones), please adjust
the mixer’s controls BEFORE connecting AC power or turning on the unit.
Connect up to 8 such sources (tuner, cassette deck, CD Player, camcorder or VCR) to the input jacks
for Line 1 (if not being used as Phono 1 input), Line 2, Line 3 (if not being used as Phono 2 input),
Line 4, Line 5 and Line 6. Please note that Phono 1 and Line 1 (as well as Phono 2 and Line 3) use
the same jacks. The selector switch(e)s below the jacks should be set to Line position if the jacks
are used for the High Level input sources described here.

Pyle Pro Mixer Owner’s Manual – 7
Using Headphones
Plug a pair of stereo headphones (not supplied) with a 1/4” jack into the Phones input. Using
headphones not only affords you the opportunity to listen privately, but also enables you to monitor
(”cue”) the incoming audio sources so you can locate an exact passage or section before mixing it
in. It also gives you the opportunity to set up the relative volume level of the upcoming passage
before it joins the mix.
Using the Channel Input Gain Controls
Adjusting the Gain controls for each channel permits you to fine tune the level of each of the audio
inputs, since input levels usually vary. Rotate the Gain controls clockwise to increase levels. After
you preset the gain levels for each input, it is recommended that you do not adjust them further,
as you can cause sound level imbalances during a mix.
Listen Safely! Please observe the following:
Connecting the Mixer Outputs
Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended,
high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
Follow these guidelines to protect your hearing, especially
when using headphones.
Output to an Amplifier
To play the mixer’s output signal through your speaker system (for events such as parties, dances,
conferences, etc.) connect an audio patch cord (not supplied) from the mixers AMP L and R jacks
to your receiver amplifier’s left and right input jacks.
Always start by setting the volume level to the lowest
possible level before listening.
This mixer features two kinds of output jacks for you to choose from: RCA style and 1/4” type. DO
NOT USE BOTH SIMULTANEOUSLY.
Put headphones on, and then gradually increase the
volume as necessary.
Once you set the volume level do not increase it. Over
a period of time, your ears adapt to a volume level and there
is a temptation to increase it. Even though such an increase
may not cause discomfort, it might still damage your hearing.
Output to a Tape or Digital Audio Recorder
To play the mixer’s output signal through your speaker system (for events such as parties, dances,
conferences, etc.) connect an audio patch cord (not supplied) from the mixers REC L and R jacks
to your receiver/amplifier’s left and right input jacks.
Stereo Headphones
Zone Output
To monitor the mixer output to a second set of speakers in the DJ booth (or in a remote location)
connect an audio patch cord (not supplied) from the mixers ZONE L and R jacks to your secondary
amplifier’s left and right input jacks.
12V/3W lamp
Connecting the Lamp
If you wish to intall a console lamp
(not supplied), simply insert the
plug end of an appropriate 12V/3W
gooseneck style or similar lamp into
the lamp socket provided in the
upper right corner of the mixer
control panel. Power is supplied to
this lamp when the mixer power
switch is turned on.
CAUTION: In order to avoid sudden unpleasant sound output,
adjust the output devices controls to these settings before you
connect the mixer’s output jacks to these devices’ input jacks.

Adding Equalization to the Mix
You can further tailor the sound processed through the mixer to match your acoustic surroundings
or suit your personal preferences by using the ten frequency sliders for each channel. To engage the
equalization module, press the Equalization On/Off Switch. The LED next to the switch will be
illuminated, indicated the EQ mode has been engaged.
Using the Mixer Controls
Turning on the Mixer
1. Turn on the output amplifier and temporarily set its volume to the minimum setting.
2. On the mixer, turn ON the power switch. The adjacent power LED will illuminate.
Each one of the sliding controls boosts or cuts the selected frequency by up to 12 dB. If you leave
a slider at the center (”0”) position, the corresponding frequency range for that stereo channel will
be left unaffected (”flat”). Please note that in order to provide a smooth range of control, the frequency
ranges overlap slightly. Therefore, for example, if you raise the level in the 2K range, the 1K and
4K ranges are also slightly affected.
3. Turn on the audio input sources you wish to mix, and set them to play (or talk continuously into
the microphone).
4. To monitor the audio input sources so that you can decide when to mix in each input, see “Monitoring
‘Cueing’ the Inputs.”
Adding External Effects to the Mix
5. To mix the audio input sources so that you can play them through your amplifier system or record
them on your tape deck, see “Mixing the Inputs.”
To connect a sound effect device such as an echo reverb or digital sampler processor, first connect
the EFFECTS SEND jacks to the external device’s AUDIO IN jacks using RCA type cables. Then connect
the device’s audio outputs to the EFFECTS RECEIVE jacks on the mixer.
Monitoring (”Cueing”) the Inputs
1. Set the CUE ASSIGN switch of the input source (MIC , CH1, CH2, CH3 or CH 4) you wish to
monitor.
To activate the loop with which now has an outboard processor, press the Effects Switch.The effect
devices are now in the audio chain. Be sure the device is ON.
2. Adjust the Headphone Level control to a comfortable listening level.
3. The Headphone CUE/PGM control permits you to switch easily from listening to CUE material to
the playing PROGRAM sound. You can also listen to both simultaneously by moving the Headphone
CUE/PGM control to a point midway between the two ends.

effect being applied.
Incorporating Voice into the Mix
PYD-1950: This model has an additional CUE on the sampler module for you monitor the sampled
signal being applied. To monitor a sampled signal, press the SAMPLE ASSIGN button for the
channel to which the sample has been saved, and then press the SAMPLE CUE button to audition
this sound.
To blend voice from the microphones with the audio program material, first be sure the MIC/TALKOVER
switch is set to the ON position. (In this position, the MIC channel is mixed into the program like
any other audio input source.)
Then adjust the corresponding MIC level controls to increase or decrease the microphone level (this
will not affect the main volume inputs). When a microphone is not in use, set the MIC/TALKOVER
switch to OFF.
Mixing the Inputs
There are a maximum of ten input sources available at one time, including two microphone inputs.
Both microphone input sources are always available as part of the mix, if desired. Each of the four
audio channels can be linked to two different input sources, and one of these sources for each channel
is available for mixing.Turn on all the available audio sources and be sure they are providing sound
before continuing.
Talkover Mode
Talkover mode allows a voice to be heard clearly through the microphone by attenuating all the other
audio input sources. This mode is engaged by setting the Talkover Switch to the TALKOVER position.
1. Select the Channel Input Selectors for each channel, choose the audio sources you want to mix
for each channel (i.e., choose PHONO1/LINE2 or LINE2).
Microphone Tone Controls
These BASS, MID and TREBLE controls, permit you to tailor the tone frequencies of the MIC inputs
processed through the mix. Left in their center positions, the sound is unaffected (”flat”).
2. Set the Mic and Channel Level controls all to within the 8 - 10 range.
3. Slide the MASTER volume control toward 10 until you get an average reading of 0 on both Output
Level LED Meters. The output level displayed in the meters represents the TOTAL output from all
the channels supplying audio to the mix. NOTE: Once you set this level, we suggest you do not
change it!
Microphone Level Controls
The independent MIC1 and MIC2 controls permit you to increase or decrease the levels of these
microphones within the mix.
4. If you add or change input sources, adjust the corresponding MIC1, 2 or CH1, CH2, CH3 or CH4 level
control(s) to maintain the average reading of 0 on the LED meters.
Using the MIC Frequency Kill Switches
For unique circumstances or interesting special effects, you can completely eliminate the bass, mid
or treble frequency range from the MIC channels by pressing the Kill button for that range. When
the Kill mode is active, the LED above the button will be illuminated.
5. To change the overall sound level, adjust the RECEIVER/AMPLIFIER (NOT THE MIXER) volume
control to the desired volume.
10 – Pyle Pro Mixer Owner’s Manual
Pyle Pro Mixer Owner’s Manual – 11
Using the Mono/Stereo Mode Switch
When the MASTER MONO/STEREO switch is in the MONO position, the mixer combines the right and
left channels and sends them to the OUTPUT R and L jacks. These combined outputs can be used
by a monoaural amplifier, such as a PA amp.
4. To playback the recorded sample ONCE, turn the SAMPLER MODE switch to SINGLE, and press
START/STOP. The LED will go on, indicating that a sample is playing. Pressing START/STOP
during playback will stop the playback.
In the STEREO position, right and left channels remain separate. The mixer outputs can be used by
a stereo amplifier or recorder.
Each time you press the START/STOP control, the unit will replay the recorded sample from the
beginning and play it through the end of the recorded sound. Rapid, consecutive pressing of the
START/STOP button will create an interesting stuttering effect.
The ZONE MONO/STEREO switch works similarly, except that its setting affects the ZONE R & L Outs.
5. To playback the record sample repeatedly (”looping”), set the SAMPLER MODE switch to
REPEAT, and press START/STOP. The mixer will play the sampled recording all the way through,
and thenrepeat it until you press the START/STOP button.
Using the Crossfader with the Assign Switches
For crossfading effects, you can assign any of the four channels to either A or B sides of the crossfade
mix using the Crossfade assign knobs.
6. To adjust the speed of the playback signal, rotate the SAMPLE PITCH control to reduce or
increase the pitch of the sample during playback.
When the crossfade slider is in the center position, the two assigned channels play equally. Sliding
the control towards the A position will increase the level of A and fade out B proportionally to the
distance from center. Likewise, sliding the control towards the B position will increase the level of
B and fade out A.
7. To adjust the level of the sample playback as it enters the mix, rotate the SAMPLE LEVEL
to increase or decrease the level.
Troubleshooting
Your mixer should require very little maintenance. If you have problems, refer to the chart below
for possible solutions. If you cannot solve the problem, contact a qualified technician for assistance.
Using the Echo Controls (PYD-1920 and PYD-1940)
