Q-D1 PRO CONTROLS AND FEATURES CONT.
2. Set the CHANNEL VOLUME FADER (8) to level 8.
3. Begin playback on an audio source connected to the channel you are adjusting.
4. Use the Gain Control to adjust an average output volume of +4 dB.
5. CHANNEL TREBLE CONTROL - This knob is used to adjust the treble levels of a chan-
nel allowing for a maximum treble gain of 12dB or maximum decrease of -26dB. Turning the
knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of treble applied to a chan-
nel signal, turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of treble applied
to a channel signal.
6. CHANNEL BASS CONTROL - This knob is used to adjust the low frequency levels of a channel
allowing for a maximum bass gain of 12dB or maximum signal decrease of -26dB. Turning the knob
in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of bass applied to a channel signal, turning
the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of bass applied to a channel signal.
7. SOURCE SELECTOR SWITCH - These switches are used to select the input source assigned to
each channel. Each channel may only be assigned one input source at a time. This switch must be in
the “PHONO” position for turntable operation.
8. CHANNEL VOLUME FADER - These faders are used to control the output signal of any source
assigned to its particular channel. However, master volume is controlled by the MASTER VOLUME
CONTROL (2).
9. “Q” START ON/OFF - This function works in conjunction with a compatible American Audio® "Q"
series professional CD player. When used with a compatible "Q" series CD player, you can use the
CROSSFADER (12) to start and stop the CD Player. The ON/OFF “Q” START switch activates this
FADER “Q” START feature. When in the ON position, the FADER “Q” START function allows the fader
to return automatically to the CD players preset cue point by simply sliding the CROSSFADER (12)
back and forth.
For example, each time you slide the crossfader to the far left, the "Q" start function will trigger
the play mode for any CD player connected to PLAYER CONTROL "A". Play will begin at
that unit's last set cue point. Turn the "Q" ON/OFF SWITCH to the OFF position to disengage
“Q” Start function and resume normal fader operation.
10. 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 VOLUME LEVEL (1) is set to
minimum before you put the headphones on.
11. FADER ASSIGN SWITCH - This switch assigns a channel to the CROSSFADER (12). When a
channel is assigned to the left side of the CROSSFADER (12) that channels output level is routed to
and controlled by the CROSSFADER (12). Sliding the CROSSFADER (12) to left position will send the
volume output of the assigned channel to the MASTER VOLUME LEVEL (2), siding the CROSSFADER
(12) to right position will cut that channels volume to MASTER VOLUME LEVEL (2). The reverse is
true for the right channel fader assign switch. When the assign switch is set to the "OFF" position the
crossfader will have no function.
12. FEATHER FADER PLUS CROSSFADER - This fader is used to blend the output signals of chan-
nels one and two together. When the fader is in the full left position (channel 1), the output signal of
channel one will be controlled by the master volume level. The same fundamentals will apply for chan-
nel two. Sliding the fader from one position to another will vary the output signals of channels one and
two respectively. When the crossfader is set in the center position, the output signals of both channel
