9.The Crossfader In/Out Pushbutton defeats the entire Crossfader function but leaves the Kill functions active.

10.Crossfader/Kill Assign Switches lets you choose which input channel will be heard when the Crossfader is moved to the left or right and affected by the Kill function.

11.The replaceable Crossfader achieves clean segues between two selected input channels.

leaving the other frequencies playing. This area is always active even when the crossfader is not. Try that for a neat effect, or mix one channel’s treble with another channel’s bass (by cutting the mid and bass on the first channel and the treble and mid on the other channel.)

16.Master Level. This controls overall output level. Note that you can select (18) whether you want stereo or mono.

17.The Zone Levels control speaker volume for other outputs such as control booth monitors, a tape deck, another amplifier, a sub-woofer, another mixer or a satellite speaker system. Note that you can select (18) whether you want stereo or mono.

In this example, Channel 1 is selected on the Left and Channel 3 is selected on the Right. With the Crossfader centered both assigned channels are live. Use the Crossfader for fast and seamless segues from one channel to the next.

Note: the crossfader is user replaceable. Simply unscrew the two large screws which hold it in place, lift it out, and disconnect its cable. Reattach the new crossfader and screw it back onto the unit - you’re back in business! REPLACEMENT CROSSFADERS can be purchased from your local Numark Dealer, or by calling Numark Industries.

12.The Split Cue Level controls what signal is being monitored through your headphones. Move the slide control to the left and you will hear your source music from the channel(s) selected with the cue/PFL switch. Move the control to the right and you will hear your program mix, or output. The slide control allows fast and frequent headphone monitoring.

13.The Headphone Level control sets the volume in your headphones.

14.The Headphone Jack accepts a 1/4” plug and is set on the front of the unit.

15.Kill Switches and LEDs have been provided for Treble, Mid and Bass Control on each side of the crossfader. This allows you to mute that frequency’s audio output while

CONTRACTOR'S NOTE: Zone Level provides zone control in installations where there are two separate rooms (eg: a bar and a dance floor). The “Zone” volume should be controlled from the mixer not from the amplifier.

18.The Stereo/Mono Toggle Switches allow you to select either stereo or mono output.

19.Stereo Auto Peak Hold Level Meter. The red LEDs for +3, +5 and +8dB hold program peaks for an instant. With peak metering, it's OK to be "in the red" as long as +5 or +8dB isn't constantly lit. Set crossover, equalizer and power amplifier inputs to avoid distortion at each step in the audio chain. Proper attention to the peak meters results in the punchiest possible sound without audible distortion.

20.PFL Meter . When the Cue/PFL switches are depressed this meter tracks pre-fader listen (PFL) signal for the channel selected instead of the mixer’s output level.

21.12V BNC Connector allows a 12 volt gooseneck style “Numark” light to be connected directly to the mixer.

22.The Power button turns the unit on and off. Make sure your input faders (7) are turned down before you power up your mixer.

23.The Mic Jack is a Neutrik™ “Combo Jack” and allows connection of either a 1/4” jack or an XLR jack. This is ideal for connecting an XLR Gooseneck directly.
