      Controls and Features

1.  OPtICaL CrOssFaDer - 

This fader is used to blend the output signals of channels 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 channel 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.

2.  ChanneL FaDer - 

These faders are used to control the output signal of any source assigned to 

its particular channel.

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. The 

TRANSFORMER SWITCH

 may be used in an up/down or left/right pattern. 

To adjust the transformer orientation please follow the instructions on page 13.

4.  PFL bUttOns - 

These buttons are used to activate a channels “CUE” mode. A red LED next
