Level

Adjusts the input sensitivity from fully off to its maximum +10dB gain.

Correct use of this control makes it impossible to overload the input preamp.
Adjust it so that the meter averages around ‘0’ with loudest peaks up to ‘+6’.
Note that there are internal option jumpers to reduce the maximum gain
available to +6 or 0dB.

Hi-Pass filter

A variable frequency 12dB per octave filter can be switched

in or out of the channel signal path using the ON/OFF switch. The cut off
frequency can be swept from 30Hz to 600Hz. The large rotary provides fine
control during performance.

Cue

Press this button to route the channel signal to the headphones. The

integral blue LED lights when it is active. An ‘intelligent’ cue system is provided
for quick and easy channel monitoring during performance. The cue switches
are cleared when the console is powered on. The following is possible:

Latching action - Press once to turn it on, press again to turn it off.

Momentary action - Press and hold for longer than 2 seconds. Cue
turns off when you release your finger.

Interlocking action - Press one to turn the previous selection off. This
way you can quickly switch from one to another channel.

Adding action - Press two or more at the same time.

Rotary Fader

Each channel has a large rotary fader for precision control

of its level when mixing. This type of control provides far greater accuracy than
the typical linear fader found in most DJ mixers. It uses the renowned Penny &

Giles oil-damped potentiometer for smooth movement, accurate control and
long life. The rotary ranges from fully off when anti-clockwise to fully on at unity
gain (0dB) when clockwise. For best performance operate these controls near
to their fully clockwise position for normal music level.
