CHANNEL REVERSE

 switch allows 

the left-hand or right-hand Fader 

to alternately control PGM 1 or 

PGM 2. (Don't confuse with the 

program fader REVERSE switch, 

see below.)

TRANSFORM 

switches provide two 

functions:

•   PHONO / LINE source selection 

for PGM 1 and 2.

•   Quick cut between the used and 

unused input. The switches are 

easily field replaceable and may be 

rotated in 45° increments. See page 

Manual-10 for instructions.

Faders

The 

program faders and crossfader

 are 

magnetic, non-contact

 

faders. This means

 

No travel noise or bleed !

 The electrical 

performance of the faders is unaffected by use. The program 

faders and crossfader each have their own CONTOUR, 

REVERSE (hamster) and MODE controls. Magnetic 

faders are very different from what you are used to. Read 

Maintaining Magnetic Faders

 on pages Manual 8-9.

Program fader MODE

 switches: allow selecting two sets of 

curves. MODE 1 gives the familiar stereo fader response. 

MODE 2 gives left/right pan effect.

Program fader CONTOUR

 controls: allow smooth, continu-

ous adjustment of contour for both MODE 1 and MODE 

2. The range of control is from SLOW blend to FAST cut.

Program fader REVERSE

 switches change the direction of 

the program faders. When the reverse switch is engaged, up 

is down and down is up (hamster).

CROSSFADER MODE

 switch allows selecting two sets of 

crossfader curves. MODE 1 gives the familiar PGM 1 / 

PGM 2 crossfade response. MODE 2 gives a center cut 

response (PGM 1 and PGM 2 off in the center).

CROSSFADER CONTOUR A & B 

provide independent 

control for each side of the crossfader. This allows a fast cut 

on one side and slow blending on the other (or any combi-

nation you choose).

Meters

Meters

 provide switchable true stereo Master Mix or dual-

mono PGM1 / PGM2 indication of Pre-Program fader 

signal levels. Ten-segment resolution is provided with a one 

second, peak hold. Use the meter to set the GAIN controls. 

With the program fader set to maximum, the input GAIN 

should be set to indicate an average level of about +4 dB.
