MASTER EQ/ISOLATOR – The MASTER EQ/ISOLATOR functions as a normal
isolator using 12dB/octave filters, with crossover frequencies at 350Hz
and 3.5kHz making for a very musical isolator. We have positioned the
layout of the pots so it easily works as a Master EQ.
MASTER – The MASTER rotary pot adjusts the signal level sent to the Main
Output XLRs (House Mix) ranging from OFF to +10dBu of gain. Set the
control to approximately 1 o'clock for unity.
BOOTH – The BOOTH rotary pot adjusts the signal level sent to the Booth
Output TRS Jacks (Monitor Mix) ranging from OFF to +10dBu of gain. Set
the control to approximately 1 o'clock for unity.
SPLIT – The SPLIT CUE button illuminates RED when activated and links
to the CUE buttons and VU Meters. When the SPLIT CUE is active and a
channel CUE is pressed, the Mix Buss Level will be shown on the Right
Meter, and the channel Pre-Fade signal (CUE) will be shown on the Left
Meter, enabling you to balance the two levels for smoother mixing. The
Split button also sends the cued source to the Left headphone and the
mix source to the Right headphone, which is very useful if mixing in a
quiet environment. SPLIT CUE is automatically disabled when the Channel
CUEs are off, and the Meters and Headphones revert to monitoring the
Stereo Master Mix Signal.
PHONES – Use the headphone pot to control the sound level sent to
your headphones. Please take care when monitoring with headphones as
excessive sound volumes can cause premature deafness. The ¼" jack
headphone input is located on the front of the mixer as shown on the
headphone graphic.
X FADE CONTOUR – This pot enables precise control of the cross fader
slope giving lots of scope for a variety of mixing styles. When the pot
is turned full anti clockwise, the cross fader slope is very mild, great
for blending tracks. Rotate the pot clockwise and you will hear the
cross fader slope sharpen up. Fully rotate the pot clockwise for ultra
sharp cuts when scratching.
ADD MIX – The add mix knob controls the amount of stereo house mix sent
to your cued track in the headphones. When the knob is rotated fully
anti clockwise only the cued track will be heard. Turning the knob
clockwise increases the amount of house mix that can be heard in the
headphones.
CROSS FADER – Radius TWO VALVE uses a high quality Penny & Giles cross
fader. The cross fader enables you to mix between signals assigned to X
or Y as indicated in the screen-printed text. The addition of a cross
fader enables a variety of DJ styles to be performed with ease, from a
basic fade, to smooth beat matching and complex scratch manoeuvres. Use
the cross fader with the XFADE SWITCH (see opposite on pg 6) to select
which channels to assign to the X or Y position.
