COMMANDER PLUS™ CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS ©American Audio® - www.americandj.com - Commander Plus™ Instruction Manual Page 11 and two respectively. When the crossfader is set in the center position, the output signals of both the channels one and channels two will be even. 10. CHANNEL VOLUME FADER - These faders are used to control the output signal of any source assigned to its particular channel. However, master volume is controlled by the MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (26). 11. BEAT INDICATOR - The beat indicator LED’s flash at every bass beat of the respective source. This function is used to visually reference a tracks BPMs. This function works in conjunction with the CROSSFADER (9), if the CROSSFADER (9) is not activated the beat indicator will not function. The beat indicators directly refer to any signal source assigned to the CROSSFADER ( 9). Use the BPM’s indicator to beat sync to tracks together, as soon as the LEDs blink synchronously, the speed of the two sources is synchronized. 12. CUE MIXING CONTROL - This functions allows you to monitor the Cue level as well as the Program (main output) level in your headphones. A channels Cue Level may only be monitored if the channels PFL (8) function is selected. To select a channels cue function press the PFL BUTTON (8) that is directly associated with the specific channel you wish to monitor. You may use the mixing function to blend both the Cue level and the Program level together. You can vary the output level to either hear more or less of either of the two levels. Sliding the Cue Mixing fader to the CUE position (left) will allow you to hear more of the Cue level. Sliding the knob to the PGM position (right) will allow you to hear more of the Program level (main output). You may also use the Cue Mixing Control to hear either the Cue level or the Program level exclusively. If the fader is in the full CUE position you will only hear the cue level, if the fader is in the full PGM position you will only hear the main output. This function is especially useful when mixing without an monitor. 13. SPLIT CUE - This button will activate the "Split Cue" function. When used with a set of stereo headphones, the Split Cue function will assign the Cue signal to the left channel of the headphones and the Program (main output) signal to the right channel of the headphones.

Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust, cleaning the mixer should be carried out periodically to residue build up. 1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the outside casing. 2. Use a cleaner specially designed for electronics to spray in and around the knobs and switch. This will reduce small particle built up that can effect the proper operation of the mixer. 3. Cleaning should be carried out every 30-60 days to prevent heavy built up. 4. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the mixer in. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the mixer operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). The crossfader is “Hot Swapable” which means it may be replaced at any time, even when power is applied. Only replace with American Audio Part Feather Fader Plus. Replacing with any other model fader may seriously damage your mixer. Replacing the Crossfader: 1. Disconnect the mixers main power supply 2. Using a number two Phillips screw driver, unscrew the each of the stainless steel retain screws that hold the crossfader in place. 3. Gently remove the crossfader from its seated position. You may need to wiggle the crossfader slightly to remove it. 4. After removing the crossfader, disconnect the ribbon cable that attaches the crossfader to the PC board. Grasp the crossfader by its base and pull the ribbon cable by its connector not the actual cables. The connector is designed to only fit one way, so don’t worry about the connec- tors orientation. 5. Connect the new crossfader to the ribbon cable and replace in reverse order.
