GAIN (22)

, 

HIGH (23)

, 

MID (24)

,

and 

LOW (25)

controls allow you to fully adjust the selected source. Switch # 

(21)

allows you to select  the 

MIC 3 

or the 

LINE 5, 6, 7, 8 or AUX INPUT

.

The

 CHANNEL SLIDE or

KNOB (26)

 controls the input level of this

channel.  The illuminated 

CUE BUTTON

(27)

 allows you to cue the

channel.

7. CROSSFADER SECTION:  The 

CROSSFADER (28)

 allows the mixing of

one source into another. The 

CS-19

 and 

CS-19R

 feature an assignable

crossfader. The 

ASSIGN SWITCHES (29, 30)

 allow you to select

which channel will play through each side of the crossfader. The

ASSIGN SWITCH (29)

 has 6 settings (OFF, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5) and allows

you to select channel 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 to play through the left side of the
crossfader.

The 

ASSIGN SWITCH (30)

 has 6 settings (OFF, 1, 2, 3, 4

or 5) and allows you to  select channel 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 to play through
the right side of the crossfader. With the 

ASSIGN

SWITCH

 in the OFF

position, that side of the crossfader will be inactive.

The 

CROSSFADER CURVE BUTTON (40)

 allows you to adjust the kind

of curve the crossfader has. Depress the 

CROSSFADER CURVE

BUTTON (40)

 to make the curve steep and cutting (perfect for

scratching). Release the 

CROSSFADER

CURVE

BUTTON (40)

 to

make the curve gradual and gentle.

8. OUTPUT CONTROL SECTION:  The level of the 

MASTER OUTPUT (44,

45)

 is controlled by the 

MASTER BALANCE (31) 

and the

 MASTER

(32)

. The 

BOOTH CONTROL

(33)

 adjusts the level of the 

BOOTH

OUTPUT (46). 

HINT: The 

BOOTH OUTPUT

 is used by some DJs to

run monitor speakers in their DJ booth. 

 The 

ZONE 1 (34)

 and 

ZONE 2

(35)

CONTROLS

 are used to control the level to another ZONE or

AMPLIFIER.  This balanced line uses a standard tip-sleeve connection.
(Tip= hot or positive (+),  ring= cold  or  negative (-), and sleeve=
shield/ground.)  The illuminated 

LOOP BUTTON (42)

 will light when the

loop is activated. The 

STEREO/MONO SWITCH

(65)

 assigns 

ALL

OUTPUTS (44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49)

 as a mono signal or stereo signal.

The 

MASTER LEVEL ATTENUATION (66) 

allows you to preset the

output level of the 

MASTER OUTPUTS

(44, 45)

 with a choice of 3

settings (0, -6dB and -12dB).

9. TALKOVER SECTION:  The purpose of the talkover section is to allow

the program playing to be muted so that the mic can be heard above
the music. The 

MIC/TALKOVER SWITCH (9)

 controls MIC 1 and MIC 2

and has three settings. When the 

MIC/TALKOVER SWITCH (9)

 is in

the “OFF” position, MIC 1 and MIC 2 and talkover are off.  When the

MIC/TALKOVER SWITCH (9)

 is in the “MIC 1 & 2” position MIC 1 and

MIC 2 are on,  the 

MIC INDICATOR (8)

 will glow, but talkover is off.

When the 

MIC/TALKOVER SWITCH (9)

 is in the “TALKOVER” position,

MIC 1 and MIC 2 and talkover will be on and the volume of all sources
except the MIC 1 & 2 inputs are lowered by 16 dB. The 

TREBLE (4)

 and

BASS (5)

CONTROLS

 allow you to fully adjust the tone of MIC 1 and

MIC 2. 

MIC 1 LEVEL (6)

 and 

MIC 2 LEVEL (6)

 control the individual

levels of MIC 1 and MIC 2.

10. CUE SECTION:  Pressing the 

MIC CUE BUTTON (7) 

allows you to send

your MIC output to your cue mix.  By connecting a set of headphones
to the 

HEADPHONE JACK (13)

, you can monitor any or all of the

channels. A unique feature of the 

CS-19

 and 

CS-19R 

is the 

CUE

BUTTON (41)

.  When you press the 

CUE BUTTON (41)

 you will send

your cue mix (the same mix you hear in your headphones) to the booth
monitors.  Press the 

CUE ASSIGN BUTTONS (20, 27)

  for channels 1 -

5 to select the channel or channels to be monitored and the buttons will
illuminate. The channels selected will be included in your cue mix and
can be monitored through your booth monitor speakers and/or
headphones.

     Use the 

CUE LEVEL CONTROL (10)

 to adjust the cue volume without

affecting the overall mix. By rotating the 

CUE PGM PAN CONTROL

(12)

 to the left you will be able to monitor the assigned cue signal.

Rotating to the right will monitor the PGM (program) output.

11. DISPLAYS: The 

PEAK HOLD LED METER (11)

 indicates the 

MASTER

OUTPUT (44, 45)

 left and right channel levels. The individual channels

each have their own 

PREFADER INPUT LEVEL LED METERS (36)

which reflect the 

GAIN

, 

HIGH

, 

MID

,

and 

LOW 

rotary control

adjustments. The 

CHANNEL CONTROLS (19, 26, 33, 40, 47)

 will not

affect the 

PREFADER INPUT LEVEL LED METERS (36)

.

12.There are 

LOOP INPUTS (37) 

and 

LOOP OUTPUTS (38)

.  If you are

using an outboard signal processor, you can use the 

LOOP OUTPUTS

(38)

 to send the signal to the device and the 

LOOP INPUTS (37)

 to

bring the signal back in to the mixer. The unit comes with jumpers to be
used with the loop inputs and outputs. Keep the jumpers in the unit if
you are not using the loop to prevent interruptions in your music
program. There are also 1/4” balanced (tip= send, ring= return, sleeve=
ground) 

LOOP INPUT/OUTPUT JACKS (64)

 on the rear panel, which

are connected in series with the 

LOOP INPUTS/OUTPUTS (37, 38)

 on

the front panel so you can add additional effects or signal processors.

13. AUX INPUTS:

The 

AUX INPUTS (39)

 on the front of the mixer allow

easy access for connecting an additional device such as a tape deck,
CD player, etc.  EQ, Gain and Level of the 

AUX INPUTS (39)

 can be

controlled by assigning them to a channel by setting the 

INPUT

SELECT SWITCH

(18, 21)

 on any channel to the “AUX” position.
