and the POWER LEDS (17) will glow.

(41) or the LINE 1 (43) input. The CHANNEL SLIDE (8) controls the
input level of this channel.

6. CROSSFADER SECTION: The CROSSFADER (2) allows the mixing of
one source from CHANNEL 2 into another source from CHANNEL 3.
The CROSSFADER (2) in your unit is removable and if the need
arises can be easily replaced. Crossfader units are available in
three varieties. Part # RF-45 (which is identical to the crossfader
supplied with the mixer) has a 45 mm travel from side to side. Part #
RF-30 is available with a 30 mm travel distance. Also available is the
PSF-45 with a special curve designed for scratch mixing. Just

Unscrew the outside FADER PLATE SCREWS (B).
Do not touch the INSIDE SCREWS (C).
2. Carefully lift the fader and unplug the CABLE (D).
3. Plug the new fader into the cable and place it back in the
mixer.

controlled by the MASTER (23) slide. The Master TREBLE (20) and

8. 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 (5) controls MIC 1 and
has three settings. When the MIC/TALKOVER SWITCH (5) is in the
bottom position, the MIC and talkover are off. When the MIC/
TALKOVER SWITCH (5) is in the center position MIC 1 is on, the
MIC INDICATOR (6) will glow, but talkover is off. When the MIC/
TALKOVER SWITCH (5) is in the top position, MIC 1 and talkover
will be on and the volume of all sources except the MIC input are
lowered by 16dB. The MIC LEVEL (15) controls the level of MIC 1.
