MIXER FEATURES

We have divided this section into various functional

blocks: Inputs, Microphone, Crossfader, Equalizer, Outputs,
and Headphone Cueing. It is important to learn how each of
these work.

INPUTS

1. Input faders - control individual source levels in the

mix.

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. Pre-fader Gain Controls – adjust the pre-fader

volume for cleaner sound.

MICROPHONE

4. Mic Gain Controls – The DJ Mic Fader controls

the D J M i c volume for the Neutrik™ “Combo”
connector. The Mic 2 Fader controls the M i c volume
for the 1/4” connector on the rear of the mixer.

5. Mic Talkover/On/Auto-Talkover Switch –

controls DJ Mic only. Mic 2 activation is controlled only
through the Mic 2 level fader.

Talkover turns down the input level of your music
sources from Channels 1-4.

Auto-Talkover automatically reduces the input level of
Channels 1-4. This works with the talk-over
s e n s i t i v i t y adjustment. Talkover is very useful for
making announcements without adjusting any levels.

6. Talkover sensitivity adjust – determines the point

in which auto-talkover activates. The more sensitive the
adjustment, the quieter you need to speak into your
microphone to activate auto-talkover.

7. Treble and Bass Controls – for fine-tuning the tone

of your voice on both mics through the sound system.
The controls are detented for setting tone "flat". For best
results, use a dynamic cardioid microphone.

8. Neutrik™ “Combo” connector - allows connection

of either a 1/4” jack or an XLR jack. This is ideal for
connecting an XLR gooseneck directly into the mixer.

9. Crossfader Assign Knob - determines which input

channel will be heard when the crossfader is moved
towards the knob.

N o t e : All channels not assigned will remain active.

10. Replaceable Crossfader - achieves clean segues

between the two input channels selected by the Crossfader
Assign.

In this example "Hard left" selects Channel 1 and "Hard
right" selects Channel 4. With the crossfader centered,
both assigned channels are live. Use the crossfader for fast
and seamless segues from one selected channel to the
other.

N o t e : The crossfader is user replaceable 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!

11. Fader Start – 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).
