 XLR BALANCED JACKS (46)

 

as well as a pair of RCA Unbalanced Jacks. The RCA jacks send a low current unbalanced output 
signal. These jacks should only be used for shorter cable runs to signal processors or looping to 
another mixer. For cable runs greater than 15 feet use the

 XLR BALANCED JACKS (46).

plug included with your CD player, connect from the CD player controller out jack to this jack. Chan-
nels 1 and 3 “Q-Start” functionallity will be controlled by the left side of the 

CROSSFADER (28). 

Channels 2 and 4 “Q-Start” functionallity will be controlled by the right side of the 

CROSSFADER

 For more information on “Q-Start” functionallity refer to the user manual included with your CD 

player.  Be sure to only use the mono tip mini plug included with your CD player to avoid damage to 
the mixer and/or the CD player.

45.  TRIM OUTPUT - 

This knob is used to adjust the maximum voltage output level. Output voltage 

wil range from 0v ~ 9v. This function may be used to limit the maximum siganl output level.

46.  BALANCED  XLR  MASTER  OUTPUTS  JACKS  - 

The  Master  Output  includes  a  pair  of  XLR 

Balanced jacks as well as a pair of 

RCA UNBALANCED JACKS (43)

. The 3-pin XLR jacks send a 

high current balanced output signal. These jacks should be used when you will be driving an amp or 
other audio equipment with a balanced input, or whenever you will be running a signal line greater 
than 15 feet. Always, use these jacks whenever possible.

 

47. AC CONNECTION -

 

This connector is used to supply main power to the unit via the included 

detachable power cord. The power connection uses an I.E.C. type connector, use only the supplied, 
polarized AC power cord. Use only a power cord that matches this type of connection. Be sure to 
only connect this unit to a power outlet that matches the printed power label on the unit. Never use 
a power cord when the ground prong has been removed or broken off. The ground prong is used to 
reduce the risk of electrical shock in case of an electrical short. This cord is designed to fit in one 
direction only. Do not attempt to force a cord if it does not fit, be sure the cord is being inserted 
properly.

48.  AC VOLTAGE SELECTOR - 

This switch is used to change the operating voltage. Operating 

voltage can be toggled between 115v  or 230v/50~60Hz. Be sure the selector is set to the proper 
voltage for your area before attempting to operate the unit. Always be sure main power is shut off 
before change the position of the Voltage Selector Switch.

*Only dual voltage units have this switch.
