9. The Crossfader In/Out Pushbutton defeats the
entire Crossfader function but leaves the Kill functions
active.
10. Crossfader/Kill Assign Switches lets you choose
which input channel will be heard when the Crossfader is
moved to the left or right and affected by the Kill function.
11. The replaceable Crossfader achieves clean segues
between two selected input channels.
In this example, Channel 1 is selected on the Left and
Channel 3 is selected on the Right. With the Crossfader
centered both assigned channels are live.

Use the
Crossfader for fast and seamless segues from one channel
to the next.
N o t e : the crossfader is user replaceable. Simply unscrew
the two large screws which hold it in place, lift it out, and
disconnect its cable. Reattach the new crossfader and
screw it back onto the unit - you’re back in business!
REPLACEMENT CROSSFADERS can be purchased from
your local Numark Dealer, or by calling Numark Industries.
12. The Split Cue Level controls what signal is being
monitored through your headphones. Move the slide control
to the left and you will hear your source music from the
channel(s) selected with the cue/PFL switch. Move the
control to the right and you will hear your program mix, or
output. The slide control allows fast and frequent
headphone monitoring.
13. The Headphone Level control sets the volume in your
headphones.
14. The Headphone Jack accepts a 1/4” plug and is set on
the front of the unit.
15. Kill Switches and LEDs have been provided for Treble,
Mid and Bass Control on each side of the crossfader. This
allows you to mute that frequency’s audio output while
leaving the other frequencies playing. This area is always
active even when the crossfader is not. Try that for a neat
effect, or mix one channel’s treble with another channel’s
bass (by cutting the mid and bass on the first channel and
the treble and mid on the other channel.)
16. M a s t e r L e v e l. This controls overall output level. Note
that you can select (18) whether you want stereo or mono.
17. The Zone Levels control speaker volume for other outputs
such as control booth monitors, a tape deck, another
amplifier, a sub-woofer, another mixer or a satellite speaker
system. Note that you can select (18) whether you want
stereo or mono.
CONTRACTOR'S NOTE: Zone Level provides zone
control in installations where there are two separate rooms
(eg: a bar and a dance floor). The “Zone” volume should be
controlled from the mixer not from the amplifier.
18. The Stereo/Mono Toggle Switches allow you to select
either stereo or mono output.
19. Stereo Auto Peak Hold Level Meter. The red LEDs
for +3, +5 and +8dB hold program peaks for an instant.
With peak metering, it's OK to be "in the red" as long as +5
or +8dB isn't constantly lit. Set crossover, equalizer and
power amplifier inputs to avoid distortion at each step in the
audio chain. Proper attention to the peak meters results in
the punchiest possible sound without audible distortion.
20. PFL Meter. When the Cue/PFL switches are depressed
this meter tracks pre-fader listen (PFL) signal for the
channel selected instead of the mixer’s output level.
21. 12V BNC Connector allows a 12 volt gooseneck style
“Numark” light to be connected directly to the mixer.
22. The Power button turns the unit on and off. Make sure
your input faders (7) are turned down before you power up
your mixer.
23. The M i c J a c k is a Neutrik™ “Combo Jack” and
allows connection of either a 1/4” jack or an XLR jack. This
is ideal for connecting an XLR Gooseneck directly.
