If the crossfader is slid to the left, channel CH 2 is faded in and channel CH 3 is faded out.
If the crossfader is slid to the right, channel CH 3 is faded in and channel CH 2 is faded out.
Mixing the input signals
If the signals of channels CH 2 and CH 3 are to be mixed, slide the crossfader to mid-position.
Channels CH 2 and CH 3 can be heard at the same volume. If one channel is to be heard at a lower volume than the
other, slide the crossfader further to the left or to the right correspondingly.
In addition, a signal of channel CH 1 and/ or of channel CH 4 can be mixed in (e. g. announcements via a microphone).
For this purpose, advance the corresponding fader accordingly. For channels which are not to be heard or which are not
connected, slide the corresponding fader down-wards to the stop.
