INPUTS
1. Input Toggle Switches - select which source will be live to that
channel based on what you have connected to the rear panel
input section.
2. Input faders - control individual source levels in the mix.
Note: Never use spray cleaners on the slide controls. Residues
cause excessive dirt build-up and this will void your warranty.
In normal use slide controls can last for many years. If they
malfunction (usually because of a dirty or dusty environment)
consult a professional technician.
3. Channel Cue Assign - are used to route Pre Fader Level (PFL)
channel audio to the Headphone Section. The channel faders do
not control the Cue volume.
4. Effect Send (Channels 1-4). Depress these buttons when you
want the signal from any input channel to be routed to the
sampler on the Send Out Jacks.
CROSSFADER
5. Crossfader Assign Knob - determines which input channel will
be heard when the crossfader is moved towards the knob. With
the crossfader centered, both assigned channels are live. Use the
crossfader for fast and seamless segues from one selected
channel to the other.
6. Replaceable Crossfader - achieves clean segues between the
two input channels selected by the Crossfader Assign.
Note: The crossfader is a user replaceable item and subject to
wear. Excessive force can wear out the fader quickly. This is
not a warranted item. In case of failure. Simply unscrew the two
large screws that hold it in place, lift it out and disconnect its
cable. Re-attach the new crossfader and screw the mounting
plate back onto the unit - you’re back in business!
MICROPHONE
7. Neutrik™ “Combo” connector - allows connection of either a
1/4” jack or an XLR jack. This is ideal for connecting an XLR
gooseneck directly into the mixer.
8. Treble and Bass Controls – for fine-tuning the tone of your
voice through the sound system. The controls are detented for
setting tone "flat".
9. DJ Mic Gain Control – for volume adjustment of the
Neutrik™ “Combo” connector on the faceplate.
10. Mic 2 Gain Control – for volume adjustment of the ¼”
input on the rear panel.
11. Mic Off/On/Talkover Switch. Off/On turns Mic 1off
and on. Mic 2 is controlled only through the Mic 2 Fader.
Talkover turns down the input level of your music
sources from Channels 1-4. Talkover is very useful for
making announcements without adjusting any levels.
Try using this feature for audience participation when
you want the music to temporarily cease and the audience
to be heard - “YEAH!”
OUTPUTS
12. Master Fader – controls the overall output level.
13. Stereo/Mono toggle - adjusts the Master output for stereo or
mono operation.
14. Booth/Zone Fader - controls speaker volume for a remote zone
or booth monitors. NOTE: This can also be used to supply line
level audio to a lighting controller or to lights that are sound
activated.
15. Stereo Auto Peak Hold Level Indicator- quickly and
accurately tracks level of audio output. The red LEDs for +3dB,
+5dB and +8dB hold program peaks for a second or two. With
peak metering, it's OK to be "in the red" as long as +5dB or
+8dB aren't constantly lit. When using as a master output
meter, set the crossover, equalizer and power amp inputs to
avoid distortion at each step in the audio chain. Proper attention
to the peak meter results in the punchiest possible sound without
audible distortion.
