IMPORTANT INFORMATION...  
Please read this entire manual before  
connecting the DM2000X to your system.  
For optimum performance:  
SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS  
• Use appropriate cables throughout your system:  
Quality shielded audio cables and terminated  
shielded video cables, low-capacitance preferred.  
Speaker cables must be 14-gauge minimum; 12- or  
10-gauge is better.  
• Always make sure that AC power is OFF while  
making any connections.  
• Do not use excessively long cables (i.e. over  
50ft/14m) Be sure plugs and jacks are tightly  
mated. Loose connections can cause hum, noise or  
intermittents that could easily damage your  
speakers.  
• Reliability will be enhanced through the use of  
banana connectors on the speaker wires. Observe  
correct speaker wire polarity. If in doubt, consult  
your Numark dealer or a qualified technician.  
• Never use spray cleaners on the slide controls.  
Residues cause excessive dirt build-up and this  
will void your warranty. In normal use slide controls  
can last for many years. If they malfunction (usually  
because of a dirty or dusty environment) consult a  
professional technician.  
• Take care to connect only one cable at a time. Pay  
attention to the color-coded, labelled Input and  
Output jacks.  
• ALWAYS remember: “TURN AMPS ON LAST  
AND OFF FIRST”. Begin with master faders or  
volume controls on minimum and the amplifier  
gain/input control(s) down. Wait 8 to 10 seconds  
before turning up the volume. This prevents  
transients which may cause severe speaker  
damage.  
• Never attempt to make any adjustments or repairs  
other than those described in this manual. Take the  
DM2000X to your dealer or to an authorized  
Numark Service Center.  
• Use restraint when operating controls. Try to  
move them slowly. Rapid adjustments could  
damage speakers due to amplifier clipping.  
A NOTE ON CABLES:  
Avoid amplifier “clipping” at all costs: this  
occurs when the red LEDs (usually on the front  
panel of most professional power amplifiers) start  
flashing. “Clipping” is when the power amplifier is  
distorting and working beyond it’s limits. Amplifier  
distortion is THE major cause of speaker failure.  
Make the input and output  
connections with readily available  
low-capacitance stereo cables.  
Quality cable makes a big difference  
in audio fidelity and punch. See your  
Numark dealer or an electronics or  
audio specialist store if you are not  
sure which cables to get.  
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose  
the unit to rain or moisture. Never place cans of  
beer, soda, glasses of water or anything wet  
on top of the mixer!

If the DM2000X is your first mixer, please read this  
entire manual before you begin operation.  
If you are an experienced DJ simply replace your old  
mixer. The DM2000X can be 10” rack-mounted or  
used as a free-standing unit. Keep in mind that there are  
a few features you may never have seen before in a  
mixer of this type that you will need to read about.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

Study the Connections Diagram on page 13. First,  
connect all stereo input sources. Next connect your  
microphone(s) and monitor headphones. Make sure all  
faders are at "zero" and the unit is off. Finally, connect  
the stereo outputs to the power amplifier(s) and/or  
audio sources. Plug the DM2000X into AC power.  
Now you are ready to switch it on.

CHANNEL FEATURES  
1. Channels 1, 2, & 3 Rotatable Input Toggle  
Switches select which source will be live to that  
channel based on what you have connected to the rear  
panel input section.

To rotate or replace the toggle  
a. Turn off all power!  
b. Remove corner screws  
c. To rotate lift of toggle and place in it’s new  
position or to replace unplug the old unit and  
plug in the new one.  
4. Send Buttons are for allowing a channels pre-fader  
output to be sent to the send connectors in the rear of  
the unit. These are used for sampling and other special  
effects. You would return the send signal through  
another input channel.  
d. Screw toggle back into place.  
5. Treble, Mid, and Bass Controls are for setting  
appropriate equalized levels for the music you are  
playing. When turn all the way left they “CUT” the signal  
by 30dB for special effects mixing.  
2. The Input Faders are low-noise, low-impedance,  
high-quality, smooth Alps™ faders. These control  
individual source levels in the mix.  
6. Gain Controls are for accurately matching audio  
3. PFL and Channel Cue Assign. The PFL  
pushbuttons are used to route channel audio to the  
main volume meter and the Cue Monitor Section.  
levels of the channels.  
When a PFL is pressed the main volume meter  
changes its display to the PFL channel. This allows the  
DJ to accurately match levels before mixing with that  
channel’s gain control. The idea is to properly match  
inputs, not the input with the output!

CROSSFADER SECTION  
13. Stereo Output Level Indicator. This fast,  
accurate stereo meter tracks the output level. It's OK to  
be occasionally "in the red" as long as +5dB or +8dB  
aren't constantly lit. Set the crossover, equalizer and  
power amp inputs to avoid distortion at each step in the  
audio chain. Proper attention to the meter results in the  
punchiest possible sound without audible distortion.  
7. The Replaceable Crossfader achieves clean  
segues between the two selected input channels.  
"Hard left" selects Channel 2. "Hard right" selects the  
Channel 3. With the crossfader centered both channels  
are live. Use the crossfader for fast and seamless  
segues from one selected channel to the other.  
This meter is also used to monitor the PFL/CUE section.  
When a PFL LED is lit the display indicates this  
channel, when the MASTER LED is lit then the  
Master output is shown.  
Note: The crossfader is user replaceable in  
case of failure. Simply unscrew the two large  
screws which hold it in place, lift it out and  
disconnect it’s cable. Re-attach the new  
crossfader and screw the mounting plate back  
onto the unit - you’re back in business!  
CUE SECTION  
14. The CUE section includes the Program Mix  
(PGM) control, the Headphone Volume control  
and the Headphone Connector located on the  
front of the unit. Connect headphones with a standard  
1/4" stereo plug. The PFL audio is sent to the  
headphone amp using the PFL Assign  
8. The Crossfader Control toggle allows the DJ  
either reverse the direction of the crossfader or turn it  
off. By reversing direction Channel 3 will be on the left  
and Channel 2 will be on the right.  
9. Transform Buttons are for quickly reversing the  
crossfader direction in order to create various special  
effects.  
Pushbutton and the PGM Mix control. The  
Program Mix controls the amount of program audio in  
the headphones so that beats can be matched exactly  
and segues are smooth when a song is cued.  
10. Beat indicator lights show peaks in the music  
that usually represent a strong drum beat. You can use  
these to help you try and match up beat mixes.  
MIC SECTION  
15. The MIC Connector is located on the front panel  
of the unit and is controlled through an input on  
Channel 1.  
MASTER/BOOTH OUTPUT SECTION  
11. The Stereo Master Fader controls the overall  
output level.  
12. The Booth Level controls speaker volume for a  
remote zone or booth monitors. If you do not use booth  
monitors the output can feed a tape deck, another  
amplifier, another mixer or a satellite speaker system.  
Note: This can also be used to supply line level audio  
to a lighting controller or to lights that are sound  
activated.  
16. 12V BNC Connector allows a 12 volt gooseneck  
lamp to be connected directly to the mixer. This light is  
readily available from your Numark dealer.  
17. Power Switch and Power-On LED.  
CONTRACTOR'S NOTE: Booth Level provides  
zone control in installations where there are two  
separate rooms, or a bar and dance floor, for example.  
Remote zone volume should be controlled from the  
DM2000X.

REAR PANEL: INPUTS AND OUTPUTS  
6. Channels 2 and 3 Line Inputs are unbalanced  
RCA jacks. The Line Input is selected with the toggle  
switch on the front panel.  
1. AC Connection. Plug your power cord in here.  
See safety precautions on page 3 for proper treatment  
of the power cord.  
You can connect stereo audio from HiFi VCRs, cassette  
and reel-to-reel tape decks, DAT machines, CD players,  
laser discs, tuners, even synthesizers or other mixing  
consoles.  
2. GND is the grounding lug for turntables 1, 2 and 3  
(phono inputs on Channels 1, 2 and 3). Always use this  
connection (your turntable cable should have a  
grounding wire).  
NOTE: Plug mono audio sources into both Left and  
Right inputs using a “Y” cable connector.  
3. The Stereo Main Outputs are low-impedance  
RCA connectors controlled by the Master fader.  
7. Phono Inputs on Channels 1, 2 and 3 use  
unbalanced RCA jacks. Your input signal is fed directly  
to the DM2000X's high-quality RIAA phono pre-  
amplifiers so use this position only for moving magnet  
cartridges. Line level sources will overload the sensitive  
phono pre-amps and will sound very bad, so always be  
sure to toggle the line/phono switch over to line before  
connection of line sources.  
4. The Stereo Booth/Zone Outputs are low-  
impedance unbalanced RCA jacks controlled by the  
Zone Level control.  
5. Send Output is set by the send buttons pressed  
on the front panel. Hook up you sampler or other  
processor here.  
8. Line/Phono Input switch. Use this to allow line  
level equipment to be plugged into your phono inputs  
giving you a total of 5 line input options.
