CONTROLS

5. Master Output Controls

"Master" (Main Output Level Control)
This rotary control adjusts the main output levels for any equipment connected to the Master Output on
the rear panel (Section 9 "Inputs and Outputs"). Turning the knob completely to the right increases the
level to +10dB and turning the knob completely to the left mutes the signal.
"Booth" (Master/Split Style Headphone Cueing Switch)
This rotary control adjusts the auxiliary (AKA booth) output levels for any equipment connected to the
Booth Output on the rear panel (Section 9 "Inputs and Outputs"). Turning the knob completely to the
right increases the level to +10dB and turning the knob completely to the left decreases the level.
Blue Power LED
The blue power LED will illuminate when the mixer has been connected to a power source and switched to
the "on" position (See Section 9 "Inputs and Outputs.")

6. Crossfader Controls

Crossfader with Tracking Light System
This slide fader blends between the assigned inputs set by the "Assign" switches on the front Panel. Its
action can be fine-tuned using the "Slope" control or it can be reversed or deactivated by the "Direction"
switch. A red light glows on either the right, left or both sides for the Crossfader indicating only the
position of the Crossfader, not the amount of signal being sent to the master output.
"Slope" (Crossfader Curve Style Control)
The position of this knob determines where the startup level of the assigned channel (see "Assign"
switches) will lie on the Crossfader. When turned to the left, the Crossfader will gradually fade the
assigned channel in to the master output signal as it is engaged. When it is turned all the way to the
right, a very sharp fade of the assigned channel will occur immediately when the fader is engaged. The
center position is a mix of each of these actions.
"Assign" (1/2 switch and 2/3 switch)
The position of these switches determines which input channel is assigned to the Crossfader. The left
switch assigns either Channel 1 (left switch setting) or Channel 2 (right switch setting) to the left side of
the Crossfader. The right switch assigns either Channel 2 (left switch setting) or Channel 3 (right switch
setting) to the right side of the Crossfader.
"Direction" (Crossfader Reverse and Deactivation Control)
The position of this switch can reverse or deactivate the assigned channels of the Crossfader. In the left
switch setting, the channels are assigned according to the "assign" switches. In the right switch setting,
the channels are reversed from their settings of the "assign" switches. In the center position, the
Crossfader is deactivated.
