GUIDED TOUR OF FEATURES AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS...
Please read this entire manual before you begin operation.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Study the Connections Diagram on page 13. First,
connect all stereo input sources. Next connect your
microphone(s) and monitor headphones. Make sure all
faders are at "zero" and the unit is off. Finally, connect the
stereo outputs to the power amplifier(s) and/or audio
sources. Plug the DJ18 into AC power. Now you are ready
to switch it on.
The DJ18 is divided into five functional blocks: Input,
Crossfader, DJ Mic, Master/Zone Output, and Equalizer. It
is important to learn how each of these work.
CHANNEL INPUTS/CONTROLS SECTION
1. Channels 1, 2, & 3 Input Toggle Switches
select which source will be live to that channel based on
what you have connected to the rear panel input section.
2. The Input Faders are low-noise, low-impedance, high-
quality, smooth Alps™ faders. These control individual
source levels in the mix.
3. Channel Cue Assign. The Cue pushbuttons are
used to route channel audio to the Monitor Section.
The channel faders do not control the Cue send volume.
CROSSFADER SECTION
4. The Crossfader Assign knob to the left of the
crossfader lets you choose which input channel will be
heard when the crossfader is in the far left position.
5. The Replaceable Crossfader achieves clean
segues between the two selected input channels.

"Hard left" selects the channel set up of the Assign Left
knob. In this example it is Channel 1. "Hard right" selects
the channel set up on the Assign Right knob. In this
example it is Channel 3. With the crossfader centered both
assigned channels are live. Use the crossfader for fast and
seamless segues from one selected channel to the other.
To turn off the crossfader simply turn both knobs all the
way to the left.
Note: The crossfader is user replaceable in case of failure.
Simply unscrew the two large screws which hold it in place,
lift it out and disconnect it’s cable. Re-attach the new
crossfader and screw the mounting plate back onto the
unit - you’re back in business!
6. The Crossfader Assign knob to the right of the
crossfader lets you choose which input channel will be
heard when the crossfader is in the far right position.
