FAQ

Q1 Can signals be output simultaneously from the MASTER, MIDI and BOOTH outputs?
A1

Yes.

Net Number : 15
Q2 What should I set the master level indicator in order to output a voltage of 2V? Also, is the [MASTER ATT] control related to the master level indicator?
A2

When [MASTER ATT] is set to 0 dB, the MASTER 1 output (XLR) is 2 Vrms when the master level indicator is at 2 dB, and the MASTER 2 output (PIN) is 2 Vrms when the master level indicator is at about +8 dB (not indicated on the scale).
Lowering the [MASTER ATT] control does not change the way the master level indicator lights.

Q3 I think that basically I should use the unit with the TRIM control set so that the channel level indicator lights to a maximum of 0 dB, so why does the indicator go up to +10 dB? Also, at about what decibel level does the output sound start getting distorted?
A3

With most mixers, 0 dB is the basic standard, but for this unit we have provided a channel level indicator going up to +10 dB in consideration of usage in a variety of environments. Furthermore, headroom of +19 dB is provided through internal processing, so the sound will not necessarily be distorted even if “OVER” lights. However, this unit is equipped with effects that cause the volume to increase, so we recommend adjusting the level in such a way that ”OVER” does not light.

Q4 I have connected an effector to the SEND/RETURN terminals, but I cannot create echoes with the fader. Why is this?
A4

Echoes cannot be created when the SEND/RETURN terminals’ effect channels are set to the respective channels. They can be created when the effect channel is set to crossfader A, crossfader B or the master channel.

Q5 What is “headroom”?
A5

Headroom indicates the maximum level of input signal that can be handled without distortion, the amount of leeway. Normally it is expressed in decibels. The higher this value, the greater the resistance to excessive inputs and the less the tendency for distortion.

Q6 How do I cancel the auto standby function?
A6

In the [CLUB SETUP] mode, change the Auto Standby setting to “OFF”. To display the [CLUB SETUP] mode settings screen, turn this unit's power off, then press the [POWER] button while pressing the [ON/OFF (UTILITY)] button. For details, see "Changing the Settings – About the Auto Standby Function" in the operating instructions.

Q7 There are three types of volume adjustments, with the TRIM, channel fader and MASTER LEVEL controls. What is the difference between them?
A7

TRIM
This adjusts the audio level input to the respective channels.

Channel fader
This adjusts the audio level output from the respective channels.

MASTER LEVEL
This adjusts the audio level output from the [MASTER1] and [MASTER2] terminals.

A12

Net Number : 136
Q13 How should I adjust the buffer size?
A13

The latency (the time from which the DJM-900SRT is operated until the sound is output) can be shortened by lowering the buffer size setting. If there are interruptions in the sound, increase the buffer size, but note that this makes the latency longer. Set the buffer size to the minimum value at which no interruptions in the sound occur.

For Windows:
When using Serato DJ, click the [LAUNCH DRIVER PANEL] button of USB BUFFERSIZE(LATENCY) at [SETUP] > [AUDIO] and adjust the BUFFER SIZE on the [ASIO] tab of the Settings Utility.
When using Serato DJ, adjust USB BUFFERSIZE at [SETUP] > [AUDIO]. When using DJ software other than Serato DJ and when using an ASIO driver, adjust the buffer size at the [ASIO] tab of the Settings Utility. When using Direct Sound, adjust the buffer size from the DJ software.
For Mac OS:
When using Serato DJ, adjust USB BUFFER SIZE at [SETUP] > [AUDIO]. When using DJ software other than Serato DJ, adjust the buffer size from the DJ software.
