QUICK START: American Audio® would like to thank you for your purchase of this great audio prod- uct. For those of you that are too impatient to read the entire user manual we have compiled these quick start instructions. We hope that you will at least read through these instructions to familiarize yourself with the basics of this mixer. The Q-2411™ is part of American Audio’s continuing evolution in audio technology. This unit has been built and designed to meet the needs of a typical DJ. We have attempted to provide you with the most reliable product on the market by using only components con - structed of the finest material. MASTER LEVEL - Use this level to control your main volume output. Try never to send an output of more than +4dB to your system. Signal at levels higher than this will start to distort and may cause damage to your system and speakers. Remember that a distorted signal from you mixer will only be multiplied throughout your system. CHANNEL GAIN LEVEL - The channel gain levels are not to be used as volume controls. Never use the channel trim to set the output volume. These controls are used to aid in distortion control. Use these control to preset your signal level before the crossfader. With your channel faders in the maxi - mum position, use the channel trim level to set an average output level of about +4dB on you master level meter. HEADPHONES - To avoid damaging your headphones always be sure the headphone volume level (12) is set to minimum before plugging them in. To avoid sever hearing damage, never put the head - phone on without making sure the headphone level is turned down. MAIN MIC - The main mic connector uses a combo plug that allows you to connect either a 1/4” unbalanced jack or by a standard 3-pin XLR balanced connector. The main mic also has an indepen - dent volume control. When feedback occurs when using the mic, try lowering the level this may reduce the feedback. Always leave the mic level to it’s minimum level when not in use. Note: We recommend that you use a 500-600ohm microphone for the best sound quality. PHONO/AUX LINE LEVEL SELECTOR SWITCH - This switch is used to change the selected input from phono to line and vice versa. The switch selectors are on the rear panel. Q-2411™ QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS ©American Audio® - www.americanaudio.us - Q-2411™ Instruction Manual Page 7 Q-2411™ UNPACKING Every Q-2411™ has been thoroughly tested and has been shipped in perfect operating condition. Carefully check the shipping carton for damage that may have occurred during shipping.

1. MICROPHONE 1 - This combo jack will accept a standard 1/4 plug or XLR 3-pin balanced male
plug. The volume output level for this microphone will be controlled by its own respective
CHANNEL
KNOB
(20). Note: We recommend that you use a 500-600ohm microphone for the best sound
quality.
2 . CHANNEL GAIN CONTROL - This adjustment is used to adjust the audio source signal input gain
for a channel. Never use the gain control to adjust a channels output volume. Setting the gain level
properly will ensure a clean output signal. An improper gain level adjustment will send a distorted
signal throughout the entire audio line which may damage speakers and amplifiers. To properly set a
channels gain level control:
1. Be sure the MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (
11) is set to level 8.
2. Set the CHANNEL FADER (
14) to level 8.
3. Begin playback on an audio source connected to the channel you are adjusting.
4. Use the Gain Control to adjust an average output volume of +4 dB
.
5. Repeat this step for all channels
3. CUE BUTTON - These buttons are used to activate a channels “CUE” mode. A red LED on the Cue
button will glow when a channels cue mode is activated. The Cue function sends a channels incoming
signal to the headphones. The cue level is adjusted by the CUE LEVEL KNOB (
12). Be sure the CUE
MIXING KNOB (13) is set to the “CUE” position to hear a selected channel source.
4 . SOURCE SELECTOR SWITCH - These switches are used to select the input source assigned to

each channel. Each channel may only be assigned one input source at a time. This switch must be in
the “phono” position for turntable operation.
5. MASTER OUTPUT BALANCE CONTROL - This knob is used to control the pan, adjust how much
of the signal is sent to the left and right output level. For true stereo imaging, maintain the knob in the
12 o’ clock position.
6. POWER SWITCH - This is the main power ON/OFF button. A red LED next to the power switch will
glow when power is ON. Before you turn the power on be sure you have made all connections to the
mixer.
Also be sure you amplifiers are turned off. Remember mixer on first and turned off last.
7 . MASTER VOLUME LEVEL INDICATORS - The dual MASTER LEVEL LED indicators are used to
detail the master fader output level. The meter s will detail the output level of both the left and right
channels.
8. 5-BAND GRAPHIC EQUALIZER - Used to fine-tune the master output. The frequencies are as
follows: 60Hz, 250Hz, 1KHz, 4KHz, and 16KHz. They can be adjusted by +/-10 dB.
9. 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 (12
) is set
to minimum before you put the headphones on.
10. EQUALIZER SWITCH - This button is used to switch the equalizer on or off.
11 . MASTER VOLUME CONTROL -
This slider is used to control the master output level (main volume).
To avoid distorted output try to maintain an average output signal level no greater than +4 dB. (see
Channel Gain
2 ) To avoid speaker damage that may be caused by excessive volume, be sure this
slider is always set to zero (completely down) before turning the unit on.
12 . CUE LEVEL VOLUME CONTROL -
This knob is used to adjusts the headphone volume output
level. Turn the knob in a clockwise direction to increase the headphone volume.
13. 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 (3) function is selected. To select a channels cue function press the CUE BUTTON
(3) 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 posi
-
tion (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.
14 . 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 (11).
15
. Q-START ON/OFF BUTTON - This function works in conjunction with a compatible American DJ®
or American Audio
® “Q” Start CD player. When used with a compatible CD player, you can use the
crossfader to start and stop a CD Player with the slide of the mixer’s CROSSFADER (
16). The ON/OFF
“Q" START BUTTTON activates the FADER “Q" START feature. When in the ON position (RED LED
WILL BE LIT)
, the FADER “Q" START automatically returns the CD player to the preset CUE POINT.

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.
