Q-D1™ CONTROLS AND FEATURES CONT.

series professional CD player. When used with a compatible "Q" series CD player, you can use the

CROSSFADER (

8) to start and stop the CD Player. The ON/OFF “Q” START switch activates this

FADER “Q” START feature. When in the ON position, the FADER “Q” START

function allows the fader

to return automatically to the CD players

preset cue point by simply sliding the CROSSFADER (8)

back and forth.

For example, each time you slide the crossfader to

the far left, the "Q" start function will trigger

the play mode for any CD player connected to PLAYER CONTROL "A". Play will begin at

that unit's last set cue point. Turn the

"Q" ON/OFF SWITCH to the OFF position to disengage

“Q” Start function and resume normal fader operation.

6. HEADPHONE JACK - This jack is used to connect your headphones to the mixer allowing you to

monitor the cue source. Use headphones only rated at 8 ohms to 32 ohms. Most DJ headphones are

rated at 16 ohm, these are highly recommended. Always be sure the CUE VOLUME LEVEL (11) is set

to minimum before you put the headphones on.

7. MICROPHONE CONNECTOR - This jack is used to a connect a microphone to the mixer. Connect

your microphone via this 1/4 inch (6.3mm) jack. The signal volume will be controlled by the Mic Level

(2).

8. 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 channel

one and channel two will be even.

9. 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 (1).

10. SOURCE SELECTOR SWITCH - These switches are used to select the input source assigned to

each channel. Each channel may only be assigned one input source at a time. This switch must be in

the “PHONO” position for turntable operation.

11. CUE LEVEL VOLUME CONTROL - This knob adjusts the headphone volume output level. Turning

the knob in clockwise direction will increase headphone volume output.

12. CHANNEL TREBLE CONTROL - This knob is used to adjust the treble levels of a chan-

nel allowing for a maximum treble gain of 12dB or maximum decrease of -26dB. Turning the

knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of treble applied to a chan-

nel signal, turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of treble applied

to a channel signal.

13. CHANNEL GAIN CONTROL - This adjustment is used to adjust the audio source signal input

gain for a channel. Never use the gain control to adjust a channels output volume. Setting the gain

level properly will ensure a clean output signal. An improper gain level adjustment will send a distorted

signal throughout the entire audio line which may damage speakers and amplifiers. To properly set a

channels the gain level control:

1. Be sure the MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (

1) is set to level 8.

2. Set the

CHANNEL VOLUME FADER (9) to level 8.

3. Begin playback on an audio source connected to the channel you are adjusting.

4. Use the Gain Control to adjust an average output volume of +4 dB
