3 Now crossfading between the two channels selected is possible:
• crossfader moved to the left: fade-in of side A and fade-out of side B
• crossfader moved to the right: fade-in of side B and fade-out of side A
• For hearing the signals of the two channels at the same level, set the crossfader to mid-position.

“. To monitor the current music program ahead of the
master fader and the output controls MASTER 2, MASTER 3 and BOOTH LEVEL, set the fader CUE
MIXING to the right position “

•
SPLIT
(button pressed, red LED lights): The prefader level (mono) is on one side and the output signal
(mono) is on the other side of the headphones.
•
MIX
(button released, blue LED lights): A mixed signal of prefader level and master signal is on both
sides of the headphones.
3 Adjust the desired headphones volume with the control CUE LEVEL.
6.6 Using the fader start function
When two CD players with contact control are connected to the
MX-540
, they can be remote controlled
with the crossfader (fader start function).
1 Use the crossfader assignment switches to assign the two input channels to be remote controlled to a
crossfader side:
• position

• position
B
: the channel is switched to side B
2 Press the buttons FADER START to activate the fader start function for the crossfader (control LEDs
light blue).
