10. Replaceable Crossfader: This slide fader blends audio between the channels assigned
via Crossfader Assign A and B assign switches. Note: The crossfader is user replaceable in
the event that it wears out. Simply remove the facepanel and then remove the screws
holding it in position. Replace the fader with a quality authorized replacement from your
local Numark retailer.
11. Assign Switch: Slider Position determines which input channel will be heard when the
crossfader is moved towards this side. The volume levels of channels not assigned to the
crossfader will be determined only by the individual channel sliders.
12. Slope Knob (Fader Curve Control): The position of this knob determines the rate of
volume level change when the fader is moved. When turned to the left, the volume will
gradually change as the crossfader is moved. When it is turned all the way to the right, a
very sharp change in volume will occur when the fader is moved from the endpoint.
13. Fader-Start Button: Allows the crossfader to send Play and Cue digital pulse commands
to your auto-start Numark CD player or other brand. To use this feature, attach your
mixer to a remote-start-equipped CD player using standard 1/8"(3.5mm) cables. When
you move the crossfader to one side, the attached CD player will start. When it is moved
away, that side will cue (similar to pressing the cue button) or stop depending upon brand
of CD player.
14. Cue Button: Pressing this button sends audio from that channel (post-gain, post-EQ, pre-
channel-fader-level) to the PFL cue section of the headphone control. The FX Cue button
will send a 100% wet signal for preview.
15. Headphone Mix Knob: Program level (Master) and PFL (CUE) signal levels can be mixed
by this knob. When all the way left, the audio selected by the Cue buttons will be heard
in the headphones. When all the way right, only the final (PGM) program mix audio will
be heard.
16. Split/Blend Button: When pressed down, the headphone audio will be split, so that
mono PFL audio is in the left ear, and mono PGM audio is in the right ear. When the
button is up, stereo PFL and PGM audio will be mixed (blended).
17. Headphone Volume Knob: This rotary control adjusts the volume level of the
headphone output.
18. Headphone Tone Knob: This adjusts the sound in the headphone output to help in beat-
matching. The knob does NOT change the sound of any other outputs. Adjustments to
the BASS or TREBLE can assist headphone cueing in loud environments.
19. Headphone Jack: Your headphones can be connected to these ¼" and 1/8" terminals.
The volume should always be set at its lowest setting while connecting and disconnecting
headphones to prevent damage to headphones and/or your hearing.
20. FX/Sampler: This is explained in the Effects section of this manual.
21. Master Gain: This control adjusts the main output volume.
22. Booth/Zone Gains: This controls the volume to zone or booth monitors..
23. Stereo Level Indicator: This quickly and accurately tracks level of audio sent to it. Set
the mixer, 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. When using meters, the idea is to match PFL inputs, not
the PFL input with the stereo output meter!
24. Panning: Adjusts the balance of right to left audio in all outputs (Master, Record, Zone).
25. Stereo/Mono toggle: Adjusts the Master output for stereo or mono operation.
