The equalizer at each input is used to manipulate the sound of each of the 
input sources. To correct the acoustic of the room it is probably best to use an 
external equalizer. 

 

5)  To send the input signal through one of the effects outputs, first check if the desired effects bus 

is free. This can be done by checking the input channel effects assign indication LED’s (4). If 
the FX-1 LED does not light up, the FX-1 bus is free. If the FX-2 LED does not light up, the FX-
2 bus is free. If one of the LED’s is blinking red, the input channel effects assign potentiometer 
(5) is in a wrong position. Then first turn the input channel effects assign potentiometer to its 12 
o’ clock position, so the LED will stop blinking. To select the FX-1 bus, turn the input channel 
effects assign potentiometer to the left, first, no effect will be audible, but the influence of the 
effect will increase when the potentiometer is turned further to the left. When the potentiometer 
is completely to the left, 100% of the signal will be influenced by the effect. 
The same procedure can be followed to select FX-2, but then the potentiometer has to be 
turned to the right. 
When the FX-1 bus is selected, the according LED will light up green, same for the FX-2 bus. 
On the other input channels and on the main mix, the according LED will light up red, to 
indicate the according effects-bus is occupied.

6)  Open up the fader (9) of the chosen input channel  

 

7)  Slide up one or both master faders (19) till desired volume is reached. Also open the monitor 

fader (20), to hear the music at the DJ-booth. 

 

8)  The music in the DJ-booth can be manipulated with the monitor equalizer (21). 

 

9)  Correct if necessary the balance with button (6), for monophonic sound on master 1 and 2 set 

switch (23) in mono position. For monophonic sound on monitor output, set switch (22) in mono 
position. 

 

10) If you like to use the crossfader (14), you can route the channel to the left (X) side of the 

crossfader by putting the routing switch (7) on CF-X position. Or to the right (Y) side of the
