Q-2422 MKII™ FRONT PANEL - CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS CONT.
20. Q-START ON/OFF BUTTON - This function works in conjunction with a compatible American DJ®
or American Audio® “Q” Start CD player. When used with a compatible CD player, you can use the
crossfader to start and stop a CD Player with the slide of the mixer’s CROSSFADER (22). The ON/OFF
“Q" START BUTTTON activates the FADER “Q" START feature. When in the ON position (GREEN LED
WILL BE LIT), the FADER “Q" START automatically returns the CD player to the preset CUE POINT.
For example; Assuming you have two compatible American Audio™ CD players or a
compatible dual CD player connected to channels one and two. When the Fader "Q" Start
option is turned on, sliding the crossfader to the far left position will trigger playback on CD
player 1. When the crossfader is pushed to the far right position, playback on CD player 2 will
begin, and CD player 1 will return to the cue position. Refer to your American Audio CD player
user manual for setting CUE POINTS. Turn the ON/OFF BUTTON to the OFF position (RED
LED IS NOT LIT) to disengaged “Q” Start function and resume to a normal fader.
21. FADER ASSIGN SWITCH - This is a four position switch that assigns a channel to the CROSS-
FADER (22). When a channel is assigned to the left side of the CROSSFADER (22) that channels
output level is routed to and controlled by the CROSSFADER (22). Sliding the CROSSFADER (22) to
left position will send the volume output of the assigned channel to the MASTER VOLUME LEVEL (17),
siding the CROSSFADER (22) to right position will cut that channels volume to MASTER VOLUME
LEVEL (17). The reverse is true for the right channel fader assign switch. When the assign switch is set
to the "OFF" position the crossfader will have no function.
22. FEATHER FADER PLUS CROSSFADER - This fader is used to blend the output signals of chan-
nels 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 chan-
nel two. Sliding the fader from one position 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.
23. CHANNEL VOLUME FADER - These faders are used to control the output signal of any source
assigned to its particular channel. However, master volume is controlled by the MASTER VOLUME
CONTROL (17).
24. MIC 2 VOLUME CONTROL - This knob controls the output volume of MICROPHONE 2 (28).
However, master volume is controlled by the MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (17).
25. MIC 1 VOLUME CONTROL - This knob controls the output volume of MICROPHONE 1 (2).
However, master volume is controlled by the MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (17).
26. TALKOVER CONTROL - This function decreases all signal output except the microphone signal.
The amount of decrease is preset to -14dB and is not user selectable.
