LED next to the Cue Selector Button will glow when a channels cue mode is activated. The Cue func-
tion sends a channels incoming signal to the headphones. The cue volume level is adjusted by the CUE
LEVEL KNOB (24). Be sure the CUE MIXING KNOB (23) is in the “CUE” position to hear a selected
channels source.
18. FEATHER FADER PLUS CROSSFADER - This fader is used to blend the output signals of any two
channels together. When the fader is in the full left position, the output signal of any channel assigned
to the left side of the fader will be controlled by the master volume level. The same fundamentals will
apply for any channel assigned to the right side of the fader. Sliding the fader from left position to the
right will vary the output signals of any two channels respectively. When the crossfader is set in the
center position, the output signals of both channels will be even.
19. FADER ASSIGN SWITCH - This is a five position switch that assigns a channel to the CROSS-
FADER (12). When a channel is assigned to the left side of the CROSSFADER (18) that channels output
level is routed to and controlled by the CROSSFADER (18). Sliding the CROSSFADER (18) to left posi-
tion will send the volume output of the assigned channel to the MASTER VOLUME LEVEL (8), siding
the CROSSFADER (18) to right position will cut that channels volume to MASTER VOLUME LEVEL (8).
The reverse is true for the right Rotary Channel Gain assign switch. When the assign switch is set to
the “OFF” position the crossfader will have no function.
20. Q-START ON/OFF SWITCH - This function works in conjunction with a compatible American DJ®
or American Audio® “Q” Start CD player. When used with a compatible CD player, you can use the
crossfader to start and stop a CD Player with the slide of the mixer’s CROSSFADER (18). The ON/OFF
“Q” START SWITCH activates the FADER “Q” START feature. When in the ON position, the FADER “Q”
START automatically returns the CD player to the preset CUE POINT.
For example; Assuming you have two compatible American AudioTM CD players or a com-
patible dual CD player connected to channels one and two. When the Fader “Q” Start option
is turned on, sliding the crossfader to the far left position will trigger playback on CD player 1.
When the crossfader is pushed to the far right position, playback on CD player 2 will begin,
and CD player 1 will return to the cue position. Refer to your American Audio CD player
user manual for setting CUE POINTS. Turn the ON/OFF SWITCH to the OFF position to
disengaged “Q” Start function and resume to a normal fader.
21. BOOTH LEVEL (BOOTH LEVEL VOLUME CONTROL) - This rotary knob is used to control the
output volume to any source connect to the BOOTH OUTPUT JACKS (25) on the rear of the unit. Be
sure this volume control is always set to zero before turning the unit on and off.
22. CUE MIXING CONTROLLER - This knob is used to select the monitoring source, either the
master output or a channel. The cue level is prefader and is not affected by a channel’s fader level.
To monitor the master output signal turn the knob to the “PGM” position to monitor a channel signal
turn the knob to the “CUE” position. To vary the amount of either signal turn the knob more or less to
the center position. If the knob is set to the center position, you can monitor both the cue and master
output levels equally.
23. CUE LEVEL VOLUME CONTROL - This knob adjusts the headphone volume output level. Turning
the knob in clockwise direction will increase headphone volume output.
24. HEADPHONE JACK - This jack is used to connect your headphones to the mixer allowing you to
monitor the cue source. Use headphones only rated at 8 ohms to 32 ohms. Most DJ headphones are
rated at 16 ohm, these are highly recommended. Always be sure the CUE LEVEL VOLUME (24) is set
to a minimum before you put the headphones on.
