4. Controls (see fig. on page 2)
1. Power Switch
Press to switch the mixer on or off. Make sure to switch on the mixer before switching on the amplification system.
2. Power Indicator
This LED burns when the mixer is switched on.
3. Output Level
This knob controls the overall level leaving the mixer at the master outputs.
4. Headphone Mix
Move to the left to route the cue signal to the headphones and monitor display. Move to the right to send the output signal
to the headphones and monitor. Any position between these extremes is a variable mix of the cued input signal and the
mixer output.
5. Headphones Socket (standard ¼” phone plug)
This is a stereo front-mounted phone jack (L channel = tip, R channel = ring, ground = sleeve, min. load impedance = 32
Ω
,
output level = 50mW).
6. Headphones Level
Set the desired level of the headphones.
7. Punch Button
Press to create effects by transposing the program from one side of the crossfader directly onto the other side.
8. Input Selector
Each input channel has three stereo input options. This switch lets you select which of the inputs plugged into your mixer
you wish to use. Both channels have 1 phono input, 1 CD input and 1 line input.
9. Gain Control
Each input channel has a gain control offering a < - 80dB ~ + 10dB gain range to allow compensation for differing input
levels.
The 3-band EQ not only offers an ample 12dB boost but each EQ band can be attenuated by at least 26dB. This provides
the ability to cut certain frequencies such as bass and treble.
10. EQ Control HI
Cut and boost control over high frequencies.
11. EQ Control MID
Cut and boost control over mid frequencies.
12. EQ Control LO
Cut and boost control over low frequencies.
13. HI Kill Button
Instantly removes the high frequencies from the input signal, regardless of the HI EQ control setting.
14. MID Kill Button
Instantly removes the mid frequencies from the input signal, regardless of the MID EQ control setting.
15. LO Kill Button
Instantly removes the low frequencies from the input signal, regardless of the LO EQ control setting.
16. Cue Selector
This control selects the input signal on the respective channel and routes it to the cue channel on the headphones and
monitor.
17. Input Fader
This is a 45mm fader for controlling the mix level of the input to the main output.
18. Crossfader
This is a fast-action, dipless crossfader between the input channels. The dipless action means that the signal only
changes in level after the halfway point.
19. Crossfade (X) Reverse
Selecting this switch reverses the operation of the crossfade.
ABS (auto beat sensor) BPM counters : Each channel has a 3-digit display that gives a BPM read-out of the music content
on that channel to an accuracy of +/- 1 beat. The ABS will update approximately every 2.5 seconds with each change of
BPM. This facility is intended as an aid to beat matching, i.e. by using the pitch control of the input source(s) you can match
the BPM of one source to another. To achieve this most effectively, tracks containing a strong, constant beat should be used.
