28.MASTER VOLUME LEVEL INDICATORS - The dual MASTER LEVEL LED indicators are used to detail the master output level. The meters will detail the output level of both the left and right channels.

29.CHANNEL FADER - These faders are used to control the output signal of any source assigned to its par- ticular channel.

30.CROSSFADER CURVE ADJUSTMENT - The 3 position switch changes the behaviour of the crossfader action by changing the crossover curve slope. The 3 settings from left to right are: Quick Fade, Short Fade, and Normal Fade. (Quick Fade is usually used for scratching).

31.FADERSTART ON/OFF SWITCH - With this function you can use the crossfader to start and stop playback. The ON/OFF FADERSTART switch activates the fader start feature. When the fader start feature is activated sliding the CROSSFADER (32) from left to right will play or cue the player.

Example: Be sure the FADERSTART feature is activated on both channels. Slide the crossfader to the channel one position (full left) and begin playback on player one. Slide the crossfader to the channel position (far right). This will immediately trigger the play function on player two and return player one to cue mode. To return to normal fader operation turn the FADERSTART ON/OFF SWITCH to the OFF position.

32.REPLACEABLE CROSSFADER - This fader is used to blend the output signals of channels one and two together. When the fader is in the full left position (channel 1), the output signal of channel one will be controlled by the master volume level. The same fundamentals will apply for channel two. Sliding the fader from one posi- tion to another will vary the output signals of channels one and two respectively. When the crossfader is set in the center position, the output signals of both the channels one and channels two will be even.

33.MASTER INDICATOR BUTTON - This button is used to choose between master level indicators and chan- nel level indicators.

34.RELAY BUTTON - This button activates the RELAY function.

35.BOOTH LEVEL - This knob is used to adjusts the monitor volume output level. Turn the knob in a clockwise direction to increase the monitor volume.

36.MASTER VOLUME CONTROL - This rotary knob is used to control the master output level (volume). To avoid distorted output try to maintain an average output signal level +4 dB. Be sure this volume control is always set to zero before turning the unit on.
