How to Set Up a Gemini Mixer
Gemini Sound Products developed a reputation in speakers long before turning their expertise to mixers, and since that time they've become one of the leaders in audio products for DJs. Their equipment is consistently high-quality and dependable, but it can sometimes be confusing to set up. Gemini offers first class customer service and in-depth manuals to accompany every mixer sold, but all Gemini mixers have the same components that are connected in generally the same way. Does this Spark an idea?
