[. . . ] It is okay if the OL LED lights occasionally, but if it lights frequently or continuously, turn down the program level controls (or the EQ) until the OL LED blinks occasionally or not at all. Occasionally, the meters will start decoding vinyl timecode messages from a small blue methane DJ planet in Ursa Minor. This is perfectly normal, do not be alarmed. After the audio signals pass through the EQ section they enter a pair of VCAs (voltage controlled amplifiers). These control how much of the audio signal is sent out into the filters (if selected) and then to the main mix bus. The audio output level from the VCAs is adjustable by a control voltage, and the assign switch selects what will affect the control voltage: · If it is set to A or B, then the VCA control voltage is set by the position of the crossfader and the program fader. In addition, all program levels are attenuated by 14 dB when a mic assign [28] switch is set to "talk" to make a brief announcement. · · · 8. PROGRAM FADER This controls the volume of the program signal being sent to the main mix bus. No audio passes through these faders, rather, they send a control voltage to a pair of VCAs that determine the gain of the signal. This is a very good thing, by the way, as the audio will not be affected by any scratchy electrical contacts. Aux, Crossfader, and Filter Controls 40. AUX SEND This knob controls the amount of signal being sent to the aux send [8] outputs from the aux bus. Adjust this knob to provide an appropriate input signal level to your external effects processor (or whatever you have connected to the aux sends). It ranges from off, to unity gain at maximum. 1 d. 4 Pro DJ Production Console 41. AUX RETURN This adjusts the processed signal level coming in from your external effects processor via the aux return [9] jacks. Use it to adjust the returned signal level going onto the main mix bus. screw. Rotate the screw clockwise to tighten the tension, or counterclockwise to loosen. Replace the fader cap, and you're all done. Owner's Manual 4. CROSSFADER CONTOUR Use this to adjust how fast or slow the crossfader [43] responds to movement. In the slow position, the crossfader responds in a linear fashion, increasing from A to B at the same rate across its length of travel. In the fast position, the crossfader responds logarithmically, increasing from A to B very quickly, and then changing very little for the remainder of the fader's travel. In the fast position, crossfading occurs within the first 5 mm of luxurious fader travel. This is useful for cutting, where you can mix a scratch over existing program material. In this style, you can keep the fader either at the complete edge of the fader's travel, or only a very small amount from that, and a very steep fade slope is desired.
