FADER CLEANING AND INSTALL  
After constant use the faders may need to be cleaned and lubricated  
from time to time. This will ensure long life and keep a smooth feeling  
throughout the fader's lifetime. Follow the instructions below to lubricate  
and clean your faders:  
Removing a fader:  
1. Make sure mixer is powered off and power supply is disconnected from  
back of mixer.  
2. Remove the fader to be cleaned or replaced by unscrewing the 2 outer  
screws on the fader plate (removing the 2 inner screws will detach the  
fader from the fader plate).  
3. Disconnect the fader from mixer by removing the connector on the  
bottom of the fader.  
Installing a fader:  
1. Once original fader has been removed, simply plug the 4-pin  
connector into the new fader.  
2. Place fader back in mixer and replace 2 outer screws to secure fader.

DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS  
1. Microphone 1 input - This combo (1/4”/XLR) connector is used to  
connect a microphone. The volume is controlled by the MIC 1 knob.  
2. Mic 1 level - Controls the input level of Microphone input 1.  
3. Mic equalizer - Individual controls for high frequency, midrange, and  
low frequency equalization. The EQ controls both Microphone inputs.  
Note: Any changes made to EQ settings will change the overall  
output level.  
4. Pre fader listen - Selects the channel(s) - 1, 2, or 3 - to be  
previewed in the headphones.  
5. Channel faders - Controls the output volume of each channel. The  
signal is routed to the line faders after the gain, EQ, pan, and effects.  
6. Crossfader - The crossfader is used to cross fade between channels  
1 and 3.  
7. Kill switches - Kill switches are used to completely eliminate Hi,  
Mid, or Low frequencies from the audio. This can be used as an  
performance effect.  
8. Headphone outputs - This is the headphone output jack to connect  
your headphones.  
9. Cue pan - Fades the headphone output between the PFL signal  
(selected by the Cue Select buttons) and master output, effectively  
allowing the user to preview a mix.  
10. Cue level - Controls the volume of the headphone output.  
11. Booth level - Controls the booth output level. This is basically a 2nd  
output. It is usually used for monitoring in a DJ booth, but can be  
used for various applications.  
12. Master output Pan- This is the pan or balance control for the mas-  
ter output.  
13. Master output level - Controls the overall output level of the mixer.  
14. Output meters - These LEDs let you know if the audio coming out  
of the mixer is loud enough (or too loud!). If the LEDs reach the red,  
the mixer is probably clipping, or distorting.  
15. Input selectors - These toggle switches select the input source  
between phono and line for each channel.  
16. Input gains - Controls the input sensitivity level of each channel. An  
LED meter is provided on each of the 3 channels for proper  
adjustment of the levels.  
17. Channel equalizer - Individual controls for high frequency,  
midrange, and low frequency equalization with +9dB/Kill  
adjustments. Note: Any changes made to EQ settings will change  
the overall output level.  
 
DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS  
Power: This is the power switch to turn the mixer "ON" or "OFF"  
AC IN: This is the Input connection for the included power supply.  
Line: Line inputs (represented by the letter L, followed by the input  
number) are used to connect to line level sources such as CD players,  
Mini Discs, DATs, samplers, etc.  
TT: TT (or phono) inputs are used to connect to turntables.  
Ground: Connects to the turntable ground cable to eliminate electrical  
hum. Ground cables are usually supplied with turntables  
Master: Connects to an amplifier, EQ, crossover, or other outboard  
signal processing.  
Booth: This is a second output, like the master output. It is usually used  
as a separate output in the DJ Booth for the DJ to monitor the mix  
REC: This is the record output. The output level is static in this case,  
there are no volume controls. It is used to connect directly to tape or CD  
recorders. The volume can be set from the recording device.
