treble gain of +10dB or maximum decrease of -35dB. Turning the knob in a counter-clockwise direction will
decrease the amount of treble applied to a channel signal, turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase
the amount of treble applied to a channel signal.
MIDRANGE CONTROL - This knob is used to adjust the midrange levels of a channel allowing
for a maximum midrange gain of +10dB or maximum decrease of -35dB. Turning the knob in a
counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of midrange applied to a channel signal,
turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of midrange applied to a
channel signal.
BASS CONTROL - This knob is used to adjust the low frequency levels of a channel allowing
for a maximum bass gain of +10dB or maximum signal decrease of -35dB. Turning the knob in
a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of bass applied to a channel signal,
turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of bass applied to a channel
signal.
28. MASTER VOLUME LEVEL INDICATORS - The dual MASTER LEVEL LED indicators are used to detail the
master output level. The meters will detail the output level of both the left and right channels.
29. CHANNEL FADER - These faders are used to control the output signal of any source assigned to its par-
ticular channel.
30. CROSSFADER CURVE ADJUSTMENT - The 3 position switch changes the behaviour of the crossfader
action by changing the crossover curve slope. The 3 settings from left to right are: Quick Fade, Short Fade, and
Normal Fade. (Quick Fade is usually used for scratching).
31. FADERSTART ON/OFF SWITCH - With this function you can use the crossfader to start and stop playback.
The ON/OFF FADERSTART switch activates the fader start feature. When the fader start feature is activated
sliding the CROSSFADER (32) from left to right will play or cue the player.
Example: Be sure the FADERSTART feature is activated on both channels. Slide the crossfader to the
channel one position (full left) and begin playback on player one. Slide the crossfader to the channel
position (far right). This will immediately trigger the play function on player two and return player one to
cue mode. To return to normal fader operation turn the FADERSTART ON/OFF SWITCH to the OFF
position.
32. REPLACEABLE CROSSFADER - This fader is used to blend the output signals of channels one and two
together. When the fader is in the full left position (channel 1), the output signal of channel one will be controlled
by the master volume level. The same fundamentals will apply for channel two. Sliding the fader from one posi-
tion to another will vary the output signals of channels one and two respectively. When the crossfader is set in
the center position, the output signals of both the channels one and channels two will be even.
33. MASTER INDICATOR BUTTON - This button is used to choose between master level indicators and chan-
nel level indicators.
34. RELAY BUTTON - This button activates the RELAY function.
35. BOOTH LEVEL - This knob is used to adjusts the monitor volume output level. Turn the knob in a clockwise
direction to increase the monitor volume.
36. MASTER VOLUME CONTROL - This rotary knob is used to control the master output level (volume). To
avoid distorted output try to maintain an average output signal level +4 dB. Be sure this volume control is
always set to zero before turning the unit on.
