Use this level control to set your volume output. Try never to send an output of
more than +4dB to your system. Signal at levels higher than this will start to distort and may cause
damage to your system and speakers. Remember that a distorted signal from you mixer will only be
multiplied throughout your system.
- The channel trim levels are not to be used as volume controls, never use the
channel gain to set the output volume. These controls are used to aid in distortion control. Use these
control to preset your signal level before the crossfader. With your channel faders in the maximum
position, use the channel trim level to set an average output level of about +4dB on you master level
meter.
To avoid severe hearing damage, always be sure the headphone level is set to mini-
mum before plugging them in. Never put the headphone on without making sure the headphone level
is turned down.
The mic connector uses a 1/4” jack unbalanced connector. The DJ mic has an independent
volume control. When feedback occurs when using the mic, try lowering the “low” level this may
reduce the feedback. Always leave the mic level to it’s minimum level when not in use.
This switch is used to change the selected input from phono level to
line level and vice versa. Channels 1 and 2 may be switched PHONO/AUX or LINE. The selectors for
AUX1/PHONO1 and AUX2/PHONO2 are on the rear panel.
This function works in conjunction with a compatible American Audio or Ameri-
can DJ “Q”Start CD player. When used with a compatible CD player, you can use the crossfader to
start and stop the CD Player with the slide of the fader. The ON/OFF “Q ”START switch activates this
FADER “Q ”START feature.
This rotary knob is used to change the way the crossfader
will operate. The crossfader can operate in three different modes, NORMAL CURVE, QUICK CURVE
and any variation of the two. (Quick Curve usually used for crabbing).
This rotary knob is used to change the way the channel
fader will operate. Each channel has a Curve adjustment. The curve on the faders adjust from long or
short or any variation of the two.
Both the crossfader and the channel faders will reverse function when the
reverse switch is activated.
