3. CONTROL ELEMENTS AND CONNECTIONS

The various control elements of your BCD2000 are described in this chapter. All controls and connections are explained in detail, and

there are several useful tips on their use.

3.1 Control surface

Fig. 3.1: The BCD2000’s control elements

The FX CONTROL section

These four controls 

 as well as the buttons 

A

 to 

D

 

 can

have various software functions assigned to them. By default they

are assigned to the two effects sections.
Use the 

ANALOG INPUT

 buttons 

 to select the input source.

If the buttons are not pressed, the signals from decks A and B of

the software are played back. When you press a button, the analog

input signal will be added to the corresponding deck in the B-DJ

software. Deck A can play back the phono input A 

 or the

microphone  signal.  Deck  B  plays  back  the  signal  applied  at

input B (phono or CD). The input source for deck A is chosen in

the  control  panel  (see  chapter  2.3),  while  the  input  source  for

deck B is selected on the rear panel (phono/line switch 

).

The OUTPUT section

The 

PHONES

  output  (1/4"  stereo  connector)  is  used  for

connecting headphones.
Use  the 

PHONES

  control  to  adjust  the  volume  for  the

headphones output 

.

The microphone input section (MIC INPUT)

Set the volume of the microphone signal with the 

MIC LEVEL

control.
The 

CLIP

 LED illuminates as soon as the microphone signal

level is too high and could possibly cause audible distortion.

If this happens, slightly turn the 

MIC LEVEL 

control counter-

clockwise.
The  microphone  input  section  has  a  2-band  equalizer

(

EQ  HIGH

  for  high  frequencies  and 

EQ  LOW

  for  low

frequencies).
Use the 

TALKOVER

 button to activate the software’s talk-

over  function.  The  talk-over  function  reduces  the  master

output signal and can come in handy when your own voice

needs to be prominently heard. When you want to make an

announcement, also press button 

.

The 

ON  AIR

  button  routes  the  microphone  signal  to  the

master output signal.
