12. POWER SWITCH - A red LED will glow indicating power is ON.
13. MASTER VOLUME CONTROL - This rotary knob is used to control the master output level (volume).
14. CUE MIXING CONTROL - Selects the channel for monitoring. The monitor signal comes from the

individually. Connect your headphones to the HEADPHONES jack. Turn the CUE MIXING CONTROL
to CUE and select the desired channels with the PFL switches. When you turn the CUE MIXING
CONTROL to PGM (PFL switches without function), you can cue the output signal of the mixer. If the

and the output signal. With the CUE LEVEL control, you can adjust the phones volume without
changing the output signal.

decrease the LOW's, MID’s, and HI’s of the input signal. The Q-2221/X features "Rotary Kills" with -30dB
to +20db input control.
18. FADER CURVE SWITCH - Changes Feather Fader™ Crossfader from a NORMAL CURVE to a QUICK
CURVE (used for crabbing).
19. ON/OFF “Q” START- This function works in conjunction with a compatible American DJ "Q" Start CD
player. When used with a compatible CD player, you can use the crossfader to start and stop the CD
Player with the slide of the fader. The ON/OFF “Q” START switch activates this FADER “Q” START feature.
When in the ON position, the FADER “Q” START allows the fader to return automatically to preset digital
CUE POINTS on your compatible American DJ CD Player.
For example, each time you slide the crossfader to far left the CD Player will be triggered to play the
song from the beginning of the preset CUE POINT. Refer to your American DJ CD Player User Manual
for setting CUE POINTS. Turn the ON/OFF SWITCH to the OFF position to disengaged “Q” Start
function and resume to a normal fader.
