QUICK START: American Audio® would like to thank for your purchase of this great product. For
those of you that are to impatient to read the entire user manual we have compiled these quick start
instructions. We hope that you will at least read through these instructions to familiarize yourself with
the basic understanding of the unit. The Q-D1 PRO is part of American Audio’s continuing evolution
in audio technology. This unit has been built and designed with the typical DJ in mind, by DJ’s. We
have attempted to provide you with the most reliable product on the market by using only components
constructed of the nest material.
MASTER LEVEL (2) - Use this level control to set your master 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.
PHONO/LINE SELECTOR SWITCH (7) - 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 or LINE.
Use “LINE” for line level devices such as CD players and tape decks. Use “PHONO” for magnetic
turntables only (DJ turntables).
CHANNEL GAIN LEVEL (4) - The channel gain levels are not to be used as volume controls.
Never use the channel trim to set the output volume. These controls are used to aid in distortion con-
trol. 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.
HEADPHONES (10) - To avoid damaging your headphones always be sure the headphone volume
level (1) is set to minimum before plugging them in. To avoid sever hearing damage, never put the head-
phone on without making sure the headphone level is turned down.
MIC (13) - The mic connector uses a 1/4” plug that allows you to connect a 1/4” unbalanced mic
cord. The mic also has an independent volume control. Always leave the mic level to it’s minimum level
when not in use.
Q-START FEATURE - This function works in conjunction with a compatible American Audio
“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.
