MASTER LEVEL -
Use this level control to set your 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.
CHANNEL GAIN LEVEL
- The channel trim levels are not to be used as volume controls, never use the
channel gain to set the output volume. These controls are used to aid in distortion control. 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 on you master level
meter.
HEADPHONES -
To avoid sever hearing damage, always be sure the headphone level is set to mini-
mum before plugging them in. Never put the headphone on without making sure the headphone level
is turned down.
MIC -
The mic connector uses a 1/4” jack unbalanced connector. The DJ mic has an independent
volume control. When feedback occurs when using the mic, try lowering the “low” level this may
reduce the feedback. 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 or Ameri-
can DJ “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.
