FRONT PANEL - CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS CONT.
CHANNEL MID RANGE EQUALIZER - Each of the three channels come with a MID signal
output EQ. These controls are used to increase (up to +15dB) or decrease (down to -30dB) the
MID range output signal. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to decrease a value or clockwise to
increase a value.
CHANNEL TREBLE FREQUENCY EQUALIZER - Each of the three channels come with a
HIGH signal output EQ. These controls are used to increase (up to +15dB) or decrease (down to
- 30dB) the HIGH frequency output signal. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to decrease a value
or clockwise to increase a value.
5. SOURCE SELECTOR SWITCH -
These are two-position switches. The switches are used to select the input source assigned to each
channel. Each channel may only be assigned one input source at a time.
6. CHANNEL FADER -
Each channel fader is used to control the output level of the channel's selected input source.
7. CUE BUTTONS -
These buttons are used to activate a channels "CUE" mode. A red LED above the cue button will glow
when cue mode is activated. Cue mode will send a channels incoming signal to the headphones. The
cue level is adjusted by the CUE LEVEL ADJUSTMENT KNOB (12). Be sure the cue level is set to
minimum before putting your headphones on. Be sure to slide the CUE MIXING SLIDER (11) to the
cue position to hear the selected channel source .
8. FEATHER FADER PLUS™ CROSSFADER -
The
CROSSFADER blends the output signals of any channels assigned to "Left" or "Right." When
the fader is in the full "Left" position, the output signal of any channels assigned to "Left" will be con-
trolled by the
MASTER VOLUME LEVEL (13). The same fundamentals will apply for "Right." Sliding
the fader from one position to another will vary the output signals of the "Left" and "Right" channels
respectively. When the crossfader is set in the center position, the output signals of both the "Left"
and "Right" channels will be even.
9. “Q” START ON/OFF -
This function works in conjunction with a compatible American Audio
®
"Q" series professional CD
player. When used with a compatible "Q" series CD player, you can use the CROSSFADER (8) to
start and stop the CD Player. The ON/OFF “Q” START switch activates this FADER “Q” START fea-
ture. When in the ON position, the FADER “Q” START function allows the fader to return automatically
to the CD players preset cue point by simply sliding the
CROSSFADER (8) back and forth.
For example, each time you slide the crossfader to the far left, the "Q" start function will trigger
the play mode for any CD player connected to PLAYER CONTROL "A" (30). Play will begin at
that unit's last set cue point. Turn the "Q" ON/OFF SWITCH to the OFF position to disengaged
“Q” Start function and resume normal fader operation.
10. TALKOVER SWITCH -
While in the ON position the microphone can be used at any time, while this will not attenuate any
other channels. When the switch is in the TALKOVER position, the microphone is hot, meaning that
when the microphone is in use all channels attenuate -15dB except the MIC. When the microphone
is not being spoken into all channels return to normal . In the OFF position, all signals return to their
