channels CUE (1) function is selected. To select a channels cue function press the CUE BUTTON (1) 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 (left) will allow you to hear more of the Cue level. Turning 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 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 is especially useful when mixing without an monitor. 8. 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. Essentially splitting the cue signal in half. This process will allow for headphones mixing. The CUE MIXING CONTROL (7) will also work in conjunction with function. Please note that this function will only work with a set of stereo headphones. 9. SHIFT (MIDI) - The button has 2 functions a soft and a hard shift. A soft shift is performed by tog- gling the shift button, this will be indicated by a blinking shift LED. A hard shift is performed by holding down the shift button and combining it with another button. NOTE: When performing a hard shift, it’s recommended you release the secondary button before releasing the Shift button, this is to prevent MIDI latches unless the MIDI function is a temporary function. 10. MASTER VOLUME LEVEL INDICATORS - The dual MASTER LEVEL LED indicators are used to detail the master fader output level. The meters will detail the output level of both the left and right channels. 11. FADER ASSIGN SWITCH - This switch assigns a channel to the CROSSFADER (13). When a channel is assigned to the left side of the CROSSFADER (13) that channels output level is routed to and controlled by the CROSSFADER (13). Sliding the CROSSFADER (21) to left position will send the volume output of the assigned channel to the MASTER VOLUME LEVEL (3), siding the CROSSFADER (13) to right position will cut that channels volume to MASTER VOLUME LEVEL (3). The reverse is true for the right channel fader assign switch. When the assign switch is set to the “OFF” position the crossfader will have no function. 12. HEADPHONE JACK - This jack is used to connect your headphones to the mixer allowing you to monitor the cue source. Use headphones only rated at 8 ohms to 32 ohms. Most DJ headphones are rated at 16 ohm, these are highly recommended. Always be sure the CUE LEVEL VOLUME (6) is set to minimum before you put the headphones on. 13. FEATHER FADER PLUS CROSSFADER - This fader is used to blend the output signals of chan- nels one and two together. When the fader is in the full left position (channel 1), the output signal of channel one will be controlled by the master volume level. The same fundamentals will apply for chan- nel two. Sliding the fader from one position to another will vary the output signals of channels one 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. 14. CROSSFADER CURVE ADJUSTMENT - This rotary knob is used to change the way the cross- fader will operate. The crossfader can operate in different modes, “NORMAL CURVE”, “QUICK CURVE” or any variation of the two. (Quick Curve is usually used for scratching). ©American Audio® - www.americanaudio.us - 14MXR Instruction Manual Page 11 14MXR CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS cont.
15. CUE, SYNC, PITCH BEND, & PLAY/PAUSE (MIDI) - CUE 1, 2, & 3 - These buttons will set or trigger hot cue 1, 2, or 3. DELETING HOT CUE POINTS - If a hot cue point is set, it is indicated by a lit Cue button LED. If you wish to delete a hot cue point, press the Shift button. The shift button LED will flash along with the Cue LEDs. Press the Cue button that contains the hot cue you wish to delete. After, press the Shift button again to disable the soft shift. PITCH BEND - To perform temporary pitch bends in Virtual DJ, hold the Shift button and Cue 1 to slow the track. To speed up the track hold the Shift button and press the Sync button. To reset the pitch, hold the Shift button and press Cue 3. SYNC - Will sync the selected deck to the opposite deck or master deck/tempo. CUE - When the deck is playing, pressing this button will return to the 1st cue point. If the deck is paused, pressing Cue will set a new cue point. 16. MICROPHONE SECTION - MIC 1 & 2 GAIN CONTROL - These knobs individually control the output volume of MICRO- PHONES 1 & 2. However, master volume is controlled by the MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (3). MICROPHONE 1 & 2 TREBLE CONTROL - This knob is used to adjust the treble levels of the Microphone with a maximum signal gain of 12dB or maximum signal decrease of -12dB. Turning the knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of treble applied to the microphone signal, turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of treble applied to micro- phone signal. MICROPHONE 1 & 2 MIDRANGE CONTROL - This knob is used to adjust the midrange levels of the Microphone with a maximum signal gain of 12dB or maximum signal decrease of -12dB. Turning the knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of treble applied to the micro- phone signal, turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of treble applied to microphone signal. MICROPHONE 1 & 2 BASS CONTROL - This knob is used to adjust the low frequency levels of the microphone with a maximum signal gain of 12dB or maximum signal decrease of -12dB. Turning the knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of bass applied to the microphone signal, turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of bass applied to micro- phone signal. TALKOVER CONTROL - This function decreases all signal output except the microphone signal. The amount of decrease is preset to -14dB and is not user selectable. ©American Audio® - www.americanaudio.us - 14MXR Instruction Manual Page 12 14MXR CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS cont.

Note the use of the Balanced XLR Jacks on both the mixer and the amplifier. Always use the balanced output jacks whenever possible. The balanced output jacks should always be used for cable runs in excess of 15 feet. Using the balanced jacks will ensure a clean signal through out the entire audio system.
©American Audio® - www.americanaudio.us - 14MXR Instruction Manual Page 20 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. 14MXR CLEANING 14MXR CROSS FADER REPLACEMENT
