21. Feather Fader pLus crossFader -
This fader is used to blend the output signals of chan-
nels one and two together. When the fader is in the full left position (channel 1), the output signal of
channel one will be controlled by the master volume level. The same fundamentals will apply for chan-
nel two. Sliding the fader from one position to another will vary the output signals of channels one
and two respectively. When the crossfader is set in the center position, the output signals of both the
channels one and channels two will be even.

This button will activate the "Split Cue" function. When used with a set of stereo
headphones, the Split Cue function will assign the Cue signal to the left channel of the headphones
and the Program (main output) signal to the right channel of the headphones. Essentially splitting the
cue signal in half. This process will allow for headphones mixing. The
Cue mixing Control (20)
will
also work in conjunction with function. Please note that this function will only work with a set of stereo
headphones.
25. headphone Jack -

monitor the cue source. Use headphones only rated at 8 ohms to 32 ohms. Most DJ headphones are
rated at 16 ohm, these are highly recommended. Always be sure the

is set
to minimum before you put the headphones on.

level. Turn the knob in a clockwise direction to increase the headphone volume.
27. cue MiXinG controL -

channels
Cue (12)
function is selected. To select a channels cue function press the
Cue button
(12)
that is directly associated with the specific channel you wish to monitor. You may use the mixing
function to blend both the Cue level and the Program level together. You can vary the output level to
either hear more or less of either of the two levels. Turning the Cue Mixing knob to the CUE position
(left) will allow you to hear more of the Cue level. Turning the knob to the PgM position (right) will
allow you to hear more of the Program level (main output). You may also use the Cue Mixing Control
to hear either the Cue level or the Program level exclusively. If the knob is in the full CUE position you
will only hear the cue level, if the knob is in the full PgM position you will only hear the main output.
This function is especially useful when mixing without an monitor.
