DJ MIC SECTION

The D J 1 8 has an extremely flexible DJ Mic channel. The Talkover function reduces the level of the music while leaving the DJ Mic at normal volume.

7.Neutrik™ “Combo” connector allows connection of either a 1/4” jack or an XLR jack for the DJ Mic 1. This is ideal for connecting an XLR gooseneck directly into the mixer.

8.Treble and Bass Controls fine tune the tone of your voice on both mics through the sound system. The controls are detented for setting tone "flat". For best results, use a dynamic cardioid microphone.

9.The DJ Mic 1 Fader controls the DJ Mic volume for the Neutrik™ “Combo” connector.

10.The Mic 2 Fader controls the Mic volume for the 1/4” connector on the rear of the mixer.

11.Mic Off/On/Talkover Switch.

O f f turns off Mic 1

O n turns on Mic 1

Talkover turns down the input level of your music sources from Channels 1-4.

Talkover is very useful for making announcements without adjusting any levels.

Try using this feature for audience participation when you want the music to temporarily cease and the audience to be heard - “YEAH!”

MASTER/BOOTH OUTPUT SECTION

12.The Stereo Master Fader controls the overall output level.

13.Stereo/Mono toggle adjusts the Master output for the operation selected.

14.The Booth Level controls speaker volume for a remote zone or booth monitors. If you do not use booth monitors the output can feed a tape deck, another amplifier, another mixer or a satellite speaker system. Note: This can also be used to supply line level audio to a lighting controller or to lights that are sound activated.

CONTRACTOR'S NOTE: Booth Level provides zone control in installations where there are two separate rooms, or a bar and dance floor, for example. Remote zone volume should be controlled from the D J 1 8.

15.Stereo Auto Peak Hold Level Indicator. This fast, accurate stereo meter tracks the output level. The red LEDs for +3dB, +5dB and +8dB hold program peaks for a second or two. With peak metering, it's OK to be "in the red" as long as +5dB or +8dB aren'tconstantly lit. Set the crossover, equalizer and power amp inputs to avoid distortion at each step in the audio chain. Proper attention to the peak meter results in the punchiest possible sound without audible distortion.
