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 (22).

 The ON/OFF 

“Q" START BUTTTON activates the FADER “Q" START feature. When in the ON position (GREEN LED 
WILL BE LIT), the FADER “Q" START automatically returns the CD player to the preset CUE POINT.
 

For example; Assuming you have two compatible American Audio™ CD players or a

 

compatible 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 BUTTON to the OFF position (RED  

 

 

LED IS NOT LIT) to disengaged “Q” Start function and resume to a normal fader.

21. FADER ASSIGN SWITCH -

 This is a four position switch that assigns a channel to the 

CROSS-

FADER  (22)

.  When  a  channel  is  assigned  to  the  left  side  of  the 

CROSSFADER  (22) 

that  channels 

output level is routed to and controlled by the 

CROSSFADER (22)

. Sliding the 

CROSSFADER (22)

 to 

left position will send the volume output of the assigned channel to the 

MASTER VOLUME LEVEL (17)

siding the 

CROSSFADER (22) 

to right position will cut that channels volume to 

MASTER VOLUME 

LEVEL (17)

. 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.

22.  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 the 
channels one and channels two will be even.

23. 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 (17).
