TRIM
Adjust the input signal level for each PGM.
NOTE
All input sensitivity adjustments must be done very
carefully. Use the level meter and/or headphones
for reference. Make sure that the top red meter
LEDs do not all light up, as this shows that the
signal can clip (overload and distort).
8
PGM EQ
Provides three-band EQ (equalization) for each PGM
signal. The control for each band can cut the band by up
to 26 dB and boost it by up to 12 dB.
If all EQ controls on a PGM are set to –26dB, this will
almost completely cut the signal of the PGM.
9
Input Selector switches
Select the input source for each PGM. For PGMs 1 and 2,
the choice is between LINE 1 and PHONO1, and LINE 2
and PHONO 2 respectively, For PGMs 3 and 4, the
choice is between LINE 3 and LINE 4, and LINE 5 and
LINE 6 respectively.
0
CUE switches and indicators
Send the pre-fader signals of the PGMs to the CUE
monitor bus. When CUE is activated for a PGM, the CUE
indicator lights.
q
PGM faders
Adjust the level of the PGMs
w
FADER START switches
Set the automatic start of A and B using the cross-fader
on or off.
e
Cross-fader ASSIGN selectors
Select the signal sources assigned to the A and B cross-
fader outputs. Each of the four PGMs can be selected as a
signal source, and there is also a THRU setting, which
means that no PGM is assigned to the cross-fader on that
side. Use the PGM and MASTER faders to adjust the
output if this setting is made.
r
Cross-fader
Mixes between the A and B outputs, assigned from the
PGM signals.
It is possible for you to replace the cross-fader if this
becomes necessary (see below for details).

TASCAM X-15
Features and controls
t
Meters
This pair of peak stereo meters indicate the MASTER
(L/R) signal levels.
NOTE
These meters indicate the post-fader MASTER
signal levels.
y
MASTER fader
Adjusts the level of the signal output from the MASTER
OUTPUTS (both the balanced XLR and the unbalanced
RCA).
u
12V LIGHT
Use this to connect a 12V lighting system (up to 5 W).
i
BOOTH OUT LEVEL
Adjusts the level of the signal sent from the BOOTH
OUTPUT (unbalanced RCA) connectors.
o
MONO SPLIT switch and indicator
Selects the headphone monitoring mode: either MONO
SPLIT mode (the indicator is lit) or STEREO mode (the
indicator is unlit).
STEREO mode: You monitor the CUE signal and
MASTER signal as determined by the PAN control.
MONO SPLIT mode: You monitor the CUE signals
in mono from the left headphone, and the MASTER
signal in mono from the right headphone.
p
Monitor MIX
Adjusts the balance in the headphones between the CUE
signal and the MASTER signal.
a
PHONES LEVEL
Adjusts the level of the signals output through the
headphones.
s
PHONES
Connect a standard pair of stereo headphones to this 1/4"
jack.
How to replace the cross-fader
1. Remove the two screws retaining the fader.
2. Remove the fader.
3. Unplug the multiway connector connecting the X-15
to the fader.
4. Replace the fader with a new one, and connect the
multiway connector to the new fader.
5. Secure the new fader with the screws removed in the
first step.
