Ensure that the input selectors are moved to select the relevant input being played

Be aware that the CROSSFADER operates across assigned channels – setting to centre
position allows both channels through – moving to either side favours that channel
 Gradually increase microphone channel levels to check microphone signals.
 Monitor each stereo channel via headphones selecting using the CUE switches
 Whilst a channel is on CUE, adjust the GAIN so that LED meters show a full signal without
showing “in the red” (overload)

 When using DJ mics 1 and 2, push the ON AIR switch and if required, push MIC OVERRIDE
to drop the music level whilst talking. Sensitivity and Depth of this function are adjustable.
 Playback from PC or Mac computer is available through 2 USB ports, which act as Plug & Play
audio devices. Connecting these to the computer will work the same as connecting 2 external
sound cards. Once automatic installation is complete, select these as playback hardware in
the relevant software menu and select “USB” on the CDM10:4 channel selector for playback.
 The USB interfaces can also be selected as recording devices to record mixes from CDM10:4
(consult your software manual for further installation and setup details)
 When not being used, turn down the Vocal mic levels to avoid unwanted noise
 Turn down PA volume controls and CDM10:4 faders before switching off to avoid loud pops
