detented for setting tone "flat". For best results, use a dynamic
cardioid microphone.
8. Mic Off/On/Talkover Switch – controls DJ Mic. Talkover
turns down the input level of your music –12dB for easy
understanding of announcements.
HEADPHONE CUEING
Channel PFL Cue Assign - are used to route Pre Fader Level
9.
(PFL) channel audio to the Monitor Section. The channel
faders do not control the Cue volume.
PFL Meter Select – Changes the meter to show PFL levels and
10.
allow for precise matching of channel input levels.
Headphone Mix - controls the mix of PFL and PGM signals to
11.
your headphones. When the slider is moved to the left, all you
will hear is the cue source. When the slider is all the way to the
right, you will hear what is playing through the master output.
By blending, beats can be matched exactly and segues can be
smooth when a song is cued.
12. Headphone Level – adjusts cue volume.
13. Split/Blend Cue – controls how PFL and Program audio are
sent to your headphones. In split mode, the PFL audio can be
heard in your left ear and PGM audio can be heard in your right
ear. In blend mode, both PFL and PGM can be heard in both
ears.
14. Headphone output – for your 1/8” and 1/4” headphones.

1. Input faders - control individual source levels in the mix.
Note: Never use spray cleaners on the slide controls. Residues
cause excessive dirt build-up and this will void your warranty.
In normal use slide controls can last for many years. If they
malfunction (usually because of a dirty or dusty environment)
consult a professional technician.
2. Input Toggle Switches - select which source will be live to that
channel based on what you have connected to the rear panel
input section.
3. 3-Band Stereo Equalizer (EQ) - compensates for differences in
source material sound quality. You can create interesting effects
by removing frequencies if you turn the knob to –30dB.
4. PFL Gain – allows you to adjust the input level of the music to
match other channels. The idea is to set all input levels to
approx. 0dB so channels match. Do not try to match to the
master output meter.
5. Mic Gain Controls – controls the DJ Mic volume.
6. ¼” Mic connector - allows connection of a 1/4” jack
microphone.
7. Treble and Bass Controls – for fine-tuning the tone of your
voice on both mics through the sound system. The controls are

INPUTS

CROSSFADER
Replaceable Crossfader - achieves clean segues between the
15.
two input channels selected by the Crossfader Assign.
Note: The crossfader is a user replaceable item and subject to
wear. Excessive force can wear out the fader quickly. This is
not a warranted item. In case of failure. Simply unscrew the two
large screws that hold it in place, lift it out and disconnect its
cable. Re-attach the new crossfader and screw the mounting
plate back onto the unit - you’re back in business!
16. Crossfader Slope (front panel)– determines how quickly the
audio from the opposing side of the crossfader activates. A tight
curve (right position) turns on the opposing audio signal with
very little crossfader movement. A loose curve (left position)
makes very long and smooth segues in transition.
Hamster switch with Off position (front panel))– reverses the
17.
direction of the crossfader. In the center position the crossfader
is deactivated.
18. Fader Start (front panel) – activates the crossfader to send play
and cue commands to your auto-start Numark CD player or
other popular brand. For fader start, attach your mixer to a
remote start CD player using industry standard 1/8”(3.5mm)
cables. When you move the crossfader toward the active
channel, the attached CD player will start. When it is moved
away, that side will cue (similar to pressing the cue button).
OUTPUTS
19. Master Fader – controls the overall output level.
20. Stereo Auto Peak Hold Level Indicator- quickly and
accurately tracks level of audio output. Proper attention to the
meter peaks results in the punchiest possible sound without
audible distortion.
