17. CUE MIXING CONTROL - This functions allows you to monitor the Cue level as well as the
Program (main output) level in your headphones. A channels Cue Level may only be monitored if the
channels PFL (19) function is selected. To select a channels cue function press the PFL BUTTON
(19) that is directly associated with the specific channel you wish to monitor. You may use the mixing
function to blend both the Cue level and the Program level together. You can vary the output level to
either hear more or less of either of the two levels. Sliding the Cue Mixing fader to the CUE position
(left) will allow you to hear more of the Cue level. Sliding the knob to the PGM position (right) will
allow you to hear more of the Program level (main output). You may also use the Cue Mixing Control
to hear either the Cue level or the Program level exclusively. If the fader is in the full CUE position you
will only hear the cue level, if the fader is in the full PGM position you will only hear the main output.
This function is especially useful when mixing without an monitor.
18. MASTER VOLUME CONTROL - This slider is used to control the master output level (main
volume). To avoid distorted output try to maintain an average output signal level no greater than +4
dB. (see Channel Gain 2) To avoid speaker damage that may be caused by excessive volume, be sure
this slider is always set to zero (completely down) before turning the unit on.
19. PFL (CUE SELECTOR) BUTTON - These buttons are used to activate a channels “CUE” mode.
A red LED next to the Cue button will glow when a channels cue mode is activated. The Cue function
sends a channels incoming signal to the headphones. The cue level is adjusted by the CUE LEVEL
KNOB (15). Be sure the CUE MIXING SLIDER (17) is set to the “CUE” position to hear a selected chan-
nel source.
20. FADER “X” ASSIGN BUTTON - This button assigns a channel to the left side (X) of the CROSS-
FADER (21). When a channel is assigned to the left side of the CROSSFADER (21) that channels
output level is routed to and controlled by the
CROSSFADER (21). Sliding the CROSSFADER (21) to
left position will send the assigned channels volume output to the MASTER VOLUME LEVEL (18) and
sliding the CROSSFADER (21) to right position will cut that channels volume to MASTER VOLUME
LEVEL (18).
21. FEATHER FADER PLUS CROSSFADER - This fader is used to blend the output signals of chan-
nels 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 chan-
nel two. Sliding the fader from one position 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.
22. FADER “Y” ASSIGN BUTTON - This button assigns a channel to the right side (Y) of the CROSS-
FADER (21). When a channel is assigned to the right side of the CROSSFADER (21) that channels
output level is routed to and controlled by the CROSSFADER (21). Sliding the CROSSFADER (21) to
right position will send the assigned channels volume output to the MASTER VOLUME LEVEL (18)
and sliding the CROSSFADER (21) to left position will cut that channels volume to MASTER VOLUME
LEVEL (18).
23. CHANNEL VOLUME FADER - These faders are used to control the output signal of any source
assigned to its particular channel. However, master volume is controlled by the MASTER VOLUME
CONTROL (18).
24. Q-START ON/OFF SWITCH - This function works in conjunction with a compatible American DJ
®
or American Audio
®
“Q” Start CD player. When used with a compatible CD player, you can use the
crossfader to start and stop a CD Player with the slide of the mixer’s CROSSFADER (21). The ON/OFF
