By sliding the CUE PGM PAN (22) control to the left you will be able to monitor the assigned cue signal. Sliding to the right will monitor the PGM (program) output.

FNOTE:When the DISPLAY (27) is in the channel 2/channel 3 display mode, by adjusting the individual channel gain and tone controls, you can increase or decrease the signal to match the other channel’s signal. The channel slides and crossfader have no effect on the display readings.

Move switch to the “gradual” position to make the curve gradual and gentle. The CROSSFADER REVERSE SWITCH (32) allows you to reverse the crossfader so that CHANNEL 3 is controlled by the left side of the crossfader and CHANNEL 2 is controlled by the right side of the crossfader.
NOTE: When the CROSSFADER REVERSE SWITCH (32) is activated, only the crossfader reverses. The Channel Slides, Gain, and tonal controls do not reverse.
