How to Use a Gemini PS-525

The Gemini PS-525 is a stereo preamp and live performance mixer. The X-Fader Control allows users to fluidly adjust the balance between two connected audio sources. DJs use the Gemini PS-525's X-Fader Controls to create seamless transitions between two audio sources by blending the end of one track with the beginning of the next. In addition, the Gemini PS-525 features dedicated Channel 1 and Channel 2 equalization controls that allow users to make further adjustments to connected audio.
