Please read this entire manual before you begin operation. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION Study the Connections Diagram on page 13. First, connect all stereo input sources. Next connect your microphone(s) and monitor headphones. Make sure all faders are at "zero" and the unit is off. Finally, connect the stereo outputs to the power amplifier(s) and/or audio sources. The DJ18 is divided into five functional blocks: Input, Crossfader, DJ Mic, Master/Zone Output, and Equalizer. It is important to learn how each of these work. Channels 1, 2, & 3 Input Toggle Switches select which source will be live to that channel based on what you have connected to the rear panel input section. The Input Faders are low-noise, low-impedance, highquality, smooth AlpsTM faders. These control individual source levels in the mix. The C u e pushbuttons are used to route channel audio to the Monitor Section. The channel faders do not control the C u e send volume. CROSSFADER SECTION 4. The Crossfader Assign knob to the left of the crossfader lets you choose which input channel will be heard when the crossfader is in the far left position. 5. The Replaceable Crossfader achieves clean segues between the two selected input channels. Off1 2 3 Off1 2 3 "Hard left" selects the channel set up of the Assign Left knob. "Hard right" selects the channel set up on the Assign Right knob. With the crossfader centered both assigned channels are live. Use the crossfader for fast and seamless segues from one selected channel to the other. To turn off the crossfader simply turn both knobs all the way to the left. [. . . ] Always use this connection (your turntable cable should have a grounding wire). The Stereo Main Outputs are low-impedance RCA connectors controlled by the Master fader. The Stereo Zone Outputs are low-impedance unbalanced RCA jacks controlled by the Zone Level control. The Tape Outputs are low-impedance unbalanced RCA jacks which output the program mix and allow you to connect any recording device. [. . . ]
