1.   FEATHER FADER PLUS™ CROSSFADER - Blends the output signals of any channels assigned to X 
  or Y. When the fader is in the full X position, the output signal of any channels assigned to X will be
   controlled by the master volume level. The same fundamentals will apply for Y. Sliding the fader from 
  one position to another will vary the output signals of the X and Y channels respectively. When the 
  crossfader is set in the center position, the output signals of both the X a\
nd Y channels will be even.
2.   HEADPHONES JACKS - These jacks are used to connect your headphones to the mixer. Use head-
  phones only rated at 8 ohms to 16 ohms. Most DJ headphones are rated at 16 ohm, these are highly 
  recommended. Two different headphone jacks are conveniently located on the mixer, one on the face and
   one on the front side panel. Always be sure the Cue Level Volume (6) is set to minimum before you 
  put the headphones on.
3.   FADER ASSIGN BUTTONS - These buttons are used to assign a channel to the crossfader. When a 
  channel is assigned to X, the left side (X-side) of the crossfader will control that channels output level. 
  The Y assign works in the same fashion. When a channel is assigned to neither X nor Y the output 
  volume will only be controlled by the channels fader level. These button also function as a TRANS 
   EFFECT A Trans Effect is an effect similar to cutting the output signal with your transformer switches.

   This is an effect used heavily by scratchers and performer DJ's. The mixer simulates this effect when you 
    hold down the X and Y fader buttons. The speed of the transform is preset and will only effect any channel 
    assigned to the fader assign button being depressed.
4.       CHANNEL FADER -  These faders are used to control the output signal of any source assigned to its 
    particular channel.  
5.       SPLIT CUE -  This button will activate the "Split Cue" function. When used with a set of stereo head-
    phones, the Split Cue function assign the Cue signal the left channel of the h\
eadphones and assigns the 
    Program (main output) signal to the right channel of the headphones. Essentially splitting the cue signal 
    in half. Please note that this function will only work with a set of stereo headphones. 
6.     CUE LEVEL VOLUME CONTROL -  This knob is used to adjusts the headphone output level. 
7.   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 
   Cue function is selected. To selceted a channels cue function depress the  Cue Button (22) 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. Turning the Cue Mixing knob to the CUE position (counter-clockwise) 
   will allow you to hear more of the Cue level. Turning the knob to the PGM (clockwise) position 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 knob is in the full CUE position you will only 
   hear the cue level, if the knob is in the full PGM position you will only hear the main output. This function
   will esspecially be useful for occasions when an external monitor is not available.  
8.     CROSSFADER CURVE ADJUSTMENT -  This adjustment allows you to adjust the geometry or "shape" 
   of the crossfader response curve. The response curve can be adjusted from smooth to harsh (Instant). 
   The smooth adjustment - full counter clockwise - allows for a long running crossfade. This adjustment 
   will usually be used for normal DJing. The harsh adjustment - full clockwise adjustment - allows for a 
   short crossfade. This adjustment will usually be used for scratching and cut effects.
9.     TALKOVER BUTTON -  When this button is depressed, all signals except the microphone level are 
   decreased by 15dB. A red indicator LED will glow when the talkover function is engaged. In the OFF 
   position all signals remain at their standard levels. 
10. MIC 3 INPUT JACK -  Combination Microphone Plug. This jack will accept a standard 1/4 plug or XLR 
   3-pin balanced male plug.  The volume output level will be controlled by the  Channel 3 Fader (4).
11.   CHANNEL GAIN CONTROL -  This adjustment is used to adjust an audio source signal input gain for a 
   channel. Never use the gain control to adjust output volume. Setting the gain level properly will ensure a 
   clean output signal. To properly set the gain level controls:
    1. Be sure the  Master Volume  Control  (16)  is set to minimum (zero output).
    2. Set  the  Channel Fader (4)  to level 7.
    3. Begin play on an audio source connected to the channel you are adjusting.
    4. Be sure the  LED Level Indicator Function Switch (15)  is set to the PFL/MASTER position.
    5. Turn  the  CUE (22) function on for the channel you are adjusting.
    6. Use  the  GAIN Control  to adjust an average output volume of +4 dB in the  LED Level Indicator (14).
12.   CUT BUTTONS -  These buttons are used cut out the Treble, Mid or Bass frequencies of the incoming 
   audio signal. When these buttons are depressed the selected frequency level is cut by 100%.  When a 
   Cut Button is depressed a LED located directly above the specific button will glow indicating the 
   cut function has been activated. Depressing the Cut Button once again will disengage Cut function.
13.   CHANNEL EQUALIZER "ROTARY KILLS" - BASS/MID/TREBLE CONTROL -  Each of the three 
   channels come with a signal output EQ. These controls are used to increase or decrease the LOW's, 
   MID ’s, and HI ’s of the output signal. The Q-MX2 features "Rotary Kills" with a -30dB to +20dB gain control.

  Turn the knob counter-clockwise to decrease a value or clockwise to increase a value.
14.   LED LEVEL INDICATORS -  The dual LED's indicators along the top of unit are used to detail 
   either the master output level or a combination of the master output level and the cue PFL level. The 
   position of the  LED Level Indicator Function Switch (15)  will determine the LED Level Indicator's display 
   mode. In the "MASTER" (down) position the meter will detail the out level of the left and right channels. 
   In the "PFL/ MASTER" (up) position one side of the meter will detail t\
he master output volume level and 
   the other section of the meter will detail the CUE level PFL (pre fader level). 
   
Please Note: PFL stands for Pre Fader Level. This is the input channel signal level you will 
   hear in your headphones.
15.   POWER SWITCH -  This is the main power ON/OFF button. A yellow LED above the power switch will glow 
    to indicating power is ON. Be fore you turn the power on be sure you have made all connections to the 
   mixer. Also be sure you amplifier are tuned off. Remember mixer on first and turned off last.
16.   LED LEVEL INDICATOR FU  NCTION SWITCH - The position of the LED Level Indicator Function 
   Switch (15)  will determine the LED Level Indicator's display mode. In the "MASTER" (down) position the 
   meter will detail the out level of the left and right channels. In the "PFL/ MASTER" (up) position one 
   side of the meter will detail the master output volume level and the other section of the meter will detail 
   the CUE level PFL (pre fader level). 
17.   MASTER VOLU   ME CONTROL -  This rotary knob is used to control the master output level (volume). To 
   avoid distorted output try to maintain an average output signal level +4 dB.
18.   MASTER VOLU   ME BALANCE CONTROL -  This rotary knob is used to control the master output balance 
   level. Turning the knob to the "L" (counter-clockwise) position will increase the left channel output level. 
   Turing the knob to "R" (clockwise) position will increase the right channel output level, while decreasing the 
   left. To maintain a true stereo sound, level the balance control knob set to the 12 O'clock, or center 
   position. 
19. BOOTH LEVEL VOLU   ME CONTROL - This rotary knob is used to control the booth level volume. The 
   booth level is not PFL, it is essentially a second master output volume with separate output volume control.
20. ON/OFF Q  START- This function works in conjunction with a compatible American DJ "Q" Start CD 
   player. When used with a compatible CD player, you can use the crossfader to start and stop the CD  
   Player with the slide of the fader. The ON/OFF  “Q ” START switch activates this FADER  “Q ” START feature. 
   When in the ON position, the FADER  “Q ” START allows the fader to return automatically to preset digital 
   CUE POINTS on your compatible American Audio CD Player. 
      For example, each time you slide the crossfader to far left the CD Player will be triggered to play the  
      song from the beginning of the preset CUE POINT. Refer to your American Audio CD Player User Manual  
      for setting CUE POINTS. Turn the ON/OFF SWITCH to the OFF position to disengaged  “Q ” Start 
      function and resume to a normal fader.
21. SOURCE SELECTOR SWITCH -  These are 3-position switches. The switches are used to select the input 
   source assigned to each channel. Each channel may only be assigned one input source at a time.
22.   CUE BUTTONS -  These buttons are used to activates a channels "CUE" mode. A red LED above the 
   cue button will glow when cue mode is activated. Cue mode will send a channels incoming signal to 
   the headphones. The cue level is adjusted by the  Cue Level Adjustment knob (6). Be sure the cue level 
   is set to minimum before putting your headphones on. Be sure to turn the  Cue Mixing Knob (7) to the cue 
   position to hear the selected channel source.

   a pair RCA Unbalanced Jacks (30). The 3-pin XLR jacks send a high current balanced output signal. 
  These jacks should be used when you will be driving an amp or other audio equipment with a balanced 
  input, or whenever you will be running a signal line greater than 10 feet.
26.  LIGHT CONTROL - This jack provides a preset mono audio signal output. There is no way to adjust this
  level, however this level will directly reflect the output level of the Channel Sliders (4).  This buffered 
  audio output should only be used for light controllers that can accept an external audio input. Great for  
  Touch Panels and Chase Controllers.
27.  PLAYER CONTROL - Channel 1, 2, and 3 external FAD ER    QS TA RT  C O N T RO L. These jacks are used 
  to input 1/8 mono mini plugs from a compatible American DJ Q series CD players also featuring Fader 
  “Q” Start. This feature is used to remote control a CD player. By moving the mixer fader from left to right 
  you can start and pause a compact disc player. In other words, when the mixer crossfader is to the left (X 
  position), and you move it at least 20% to the right (Y position), any player connected to the Y-channel will
   begin to play.  When the crossfader is to the right (Y position), and you move it at least 20% to the left (X 
  position, any player connected to the X-channel will begin to play. You can create great effects similar 
  to scratching with this feature.

INPUTS/OUTPUTS
The MX-1 allows you two types of output connectors Balanced XLR (25) and Unbalanced RCA (32, 33, and 
34) . Use these connection to connect  the output signal from a mixer, cross-over or EQ to your MX-1 mixer. A 
balanced connection is recommended for cable runs longer that 10ft. When constructing your own XLR cables 
follow the pin con fi guration describe below for proper connections. For cable runs shorter than 10Ft. you may 
choose the RCA unbalanced output option. The unbalanced output option may be more convenient for most 
users due to the abundant supply of prefabricated cables on the market.
All the input options on the mixer are unbalanced RCA's. For best results do not use cable run longer than 10ft 
for any incoming audio source, longer cable runs will result in inferior sound quality.
