3. CONTROL ELEMENTS AND CONNECTIONS

The various control elements of your BCD2000 are described in this chapter. All controls and connections are explained in detail, and

there are several useful tips on their use.

3.1 Control surface

The FX CONTROL section

These four controls

as well as the buttons A to D

can

have various software functions assigned to them. By default they

are assigned to the two effects sections.
Use the ANALOG INPUT buttons

to select the input source.

If the buttons are not pressed, the signals from decks A and B of

the software are played back. When you press a button, the analog

input signal will be added to the corresponding deck in the B-DJ

software. Deck A can play back the phono input A

or the

microphone signal. Deck B plays back the signal applied at

input B (phono or CD). The input source for deck A is chosen in

the control panel (see chapter 2.3), while the input source for

deck B is selected on the rear panel (phono/line switch

).

The OUTPUT section

The PHONES output (1/4" stereo connector) is used for

connecting headphones.
Use the PHONES control to adjust the volume for the

headphones output

.

The microphone input section (MIC INPUT)

Set the volume of the microphone signal with the MIC LEVEL

control.
The CLIP LED illuminates as soon as the microphone signal

level is too high and could possibly cause audible distortion.

If this happens, slightly turn the MIC LEVEL control counter-

clockwise.
The microphone input section has a 2-band equalizer

(EQ HIGH for high frequencies and EQ LOW for low

frequencies).
Use the TALKOVER button to activate the software’s talk-

over function. The talk-over function reduces the master

output signal and can come in handy when your own voice

needs to be prominently heard. When you want to make an

announcement, also press button

.

The ON AIR button routes the microphone signal to the

master output signal.
