MIXER FEATURE DETAILS
1. MAIN POWER SWITCH -

red when power is ON.
2. CHANNEL TRANSFORM SWITCHES -
used to select the input source assigned to
each channel. Each channel may only be
assigned one input source at a time.
3. CHANNEL GAIN CONTROLS -
adjust the
input level for each channel allowing the

All of
the channels include a three-band EQ with a
range of +12dB to -26dB. Turning the con-
trols in a counter-clockwise direction will
decrease the appropriate Bass, Mid & High
frequencies within a channel signal. Turning
the knob in a clockwise direction will
increase the appropriate Bass, Mid & High
frequencies within a channel signal.
7. PFL BUTTONS -
used to route channels
to the 'Pre Fade Listen' or 'Cue' system. A
red LED beside the PFL button will glow
when a channel is routed to the Cue
system. Cue mode sends a channels
incoming signal to the headphones before
its level is set by the CHANNEL FADER (8).
The listening level in your headphones is
adjusted by the CUE LEVEL VOLUME
CONTROL (12). Be sure the CUE MIXING
FADER (13) is turned to the "PFL" position
to hear the selected channel source. More
than one channel can be routed to the Cue
system at the same time.
8. CHANNEL FADER -
used to control
individual channel output levels.
9. CROSSFADER ASSIGN SWITCHES -
four-
position switches used to assign individual
channels to the CROSSFADER (10). When
either switch is set to the "OFF" position the
CROSSFADER (10) will have no function.
10. CROSSFADER -

smoothly between the music channels
assigned to either side of it via the
CROSSFADER ASSIGN SWITCHES (9).
When the fader is positioned fully to the left
only the sound from the channel assigned
to the left side will be heard. When the
fader is positioned fully to the right only the
sound from the channel assigned to the
right side will be heard. When the fader is
positioned centrally an even blend of both
channels will be heard.
