5. Select the input source.
Make sure that the input source selector on channel 1 (3) is in LINE position and that the channel's VU-meter (8)
lightens up. If this does not happen make sure that CD player is correctly connected and that there is an audio
track being played back. You should also make sure that the tone and gain controls are in central position.
6. Adjust the input level.
Move the GAIN control until the VU-meter shows 0dB. Each channel's red overload LED OVL (2), lightens up if the
input level for this channel is to high and has to be diminished with the channel's GAIN controller.
7. Send the signal to the main output.
Set the fader on channel 1 (15) to maximum and place the crossfader (16) on side A.
8. Listen to the signal with your headphones.
Press the PFL button (10) on channel 1. Adjust the MONITOR LEVEL controller (22) to obtain a comfortable
monitoring volume. Now you should hear music with your headphones. Turn the MONITOR SELECT controller (21)
to the right to crossfade the PFL signal and the MIX signal. When this controller is completely turned to the right,
only the MIX signal will be monitored.
9. Try the operation of the tone controllers.
Experiment with this powerful 3-way stereo equaliser (6, 7, 9). This tone control has been designed for a creative
sound edition: each way can be individually isolated using the big and ergonomic rotary controllers.
10. Check the adjustment of the crossfader.
The channels 1 to 4 can be assigned to the crossfader (16) using the A/OFF/B selector. The crossfader allows you
to melt the signals that are assigned to both of its sides. With this selector in position A or B, you assign the
channel to one of both sides of the crossfader. The OFF position disables the crossfader's function on this channel.
11. Adjust the crossfader curve.
The XFADER SHAPE controller (19) allows a fine adjustment of the crossfader curve's slope. Setting this controller
all left, the signal is diminished when the crossfader reaches the central position, which allows mixing two songs
with a soft melting. The crossfader curve's slope increases if the controller is turned to the right. When is gets
completely turned to the right, the signal enters very fast with hardly a movement of the crossfader. This is very
useful for scratching.
