Crossfading Between Two Channels; Pre-Fader Listening To The Channels - Monacor International img Stage Line MPX-300/SW Mode D'emploi

5.2 Crossfading between two channels

The crossfader (14) allows crossfading between chan-
nel 2 (preassigned) and channel 3 or channel 4 [to be
selected via the button C.F. ASSIGN (15)].
1) Use the button C.F. ASSIGN (15) to select either
channel 3 or channel 4 for crossfading:
button not pressed: channel 3
button pressed: channel 4
2) Control the channel selected and channel 2 to an
optimum level (see chapter 5.1 "Basic adjustment
of the input channels").
3) If desired, suppress the stereo audio sources at the
other two channels: switch them off, set them to
pause, or completely close their channel faders.
4) Now crossfading between the two channels is pos-
sible:
To fade in channel 2/fade out channel 3 or 4,
slide the crossfader to the left.
To fade in channel 3 or 4/fade out channel 2,
slide the crossfader to the right.
With the crossfader in mid-position, both chan-
nels are simultaneously fed to the outputs.
5) Via the VU-meter (3), adjust the desired level for
the master output AMP (19) with the master control
(1).
Usually an optimum level control is obtained if
the VU-meter shows values in the 0 dB range at
high volume. However, if the output level is too high
or too low for the following unit, control the master
signal accordingly to a lower or higher level.
5.3 Mixing the audio sources connected
1) Slide the crossfader (14) to mid-position.
2) Use the faders (12) of the input channels to adjust
the desired volume ratio of the audio sources:
Adjust the audio sources to be heard at the highest
volume to an optimum level (see chapter 5.1) and
reduce the levels of the other audio sources ac -
cord ingly.
If a channel is not used, its level control should
be set to minimum.
3) Via the VU-meter (3), adjust the level of the master
signal with the master control (1) [see chapter 5.2,
position 5].
5.4 Announcements via the DJ microphone
To switch on or off the DJ microphone at channel 1 and
to activate the talkover feature, set the selector switch
MIC (13) to the corresponding position:
1. With the switch set to the left ("OFF"), the micro-
phone is switched off.
2. In mid-position ("ON"), the microphone is switched
on (LED above the switch lights up).

5.5 Pre-fader listening to the channels

The PFL feature (pre-fader listening = monitoring a
channel ahead of the channel fader) allows to monitor
each of the input channels 1 to 4 via headphones
connected to the jack PHONES (10) even if the corre -
s ponding channel is faded out. Thus, it is possible,
e. g. to select the desired title on a CD or to time the
moment for fading in an audio source.
1) For pre-fader listening to a channel, press the cor-
2) Adjust the desired headphone volume with the con-
