The Gemini CTRL-SIX USB DJ controller is a powerful yet easy-
to-use MIDI controller for use with DJ software, such as Gemi-
ni’s GROOVE.
The CTRL-SIX gives performers the control and feel of a tradi-
tional mixer/console that can be integrated into a laptop-based
setup.
The CTRL-SIX also comes with an input/output section with
2-channels of switchable line/phone inputs, mic input, as well
as XLR and RCA outputs, freeing up your computer audio and
processing for other uses.

A Word About Compatibility
The CTRL-SIX (and all Gemini products) are designed to interface
as driverless USB devices. This means that the unit does not require
proprietary driver software and can be accessed natively by a PC or
Macintosh computer.
If you are having trouble, please find the compatability advisory sec-
tion of our website, and let us know! In the vast majority of cases,
support can be added for sub-standard units that deviate from typi-
cal specifications.
Cleaning the Unit
To clean the CTRL-SIX, use only a dry soft cloth and/or compressed air.
If the unit is soiled with stubborn dirt, we suggest using a 2:1 solution of
distilled water and 30% isopropyl alcohol. Avoid using harsh cleaning
chemicals such as benzene, paint thinner, bleach, or hydrochloric acid,
which will damage the unit.
Operating Conditions
For optimum performance, the temperature of the operating environ-
ment should be b5º C to +35º C (+41º F - +95º F). Failure to
maintain proper operating temperature may result in difficulty reading
the display, thermal overload, or system-wide instability. Avoid exposing
the unit to direct sunlight.
When placing the unit in an installation, make sure that it is placed on
a stable surface, as far away from vibrations as possible. Even though
the unit is impervious to vibration, the storage devices (specifically hard
drive based ones) that are designed to be used in conjunction with it are
typically not. Also be sure not to place or use the player on heat generat-
ing sources, such as amplifiers or near spotlights.
Never use any other power supply other than the one provided with the
unit, as doing so may damage the unit and void the warranty. The power
supply included with the CTRL-SIX is a custom made supply and is not
commercially available.
