QUICK START: American Audio® would like to thank for your purchase of this great product. For those of you that are to 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 basic understanding of the unit. The Q-D1 MKII™ is part of American Audio’s continuing evolution in audio technology. This unit has been built and designed with the typical DJ in mind, by DJ’s. We have attempted to provide you with the most reliable product on the market by using only components constructed of the finest material. MASTER LEVEL (1) - Use this level control to set your master 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. PHONO/LINE SELECTOR SWITCH (10) - This switch is used to change the selected input from phono level to line level and vice versa. Channels 1 and 2 may be switched PHONO or LINE. Use “LINE” for line level devices such as CD players and tape decks. Use “PHONO” for magnetic turntables only (DJ turntables). CHANNEL GAIN LEVEL (13) - 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 con - trol. Use these control to preset your signal level before the crossfader. With your channel faders in the maximum position, use the channel trim level to set an average output level of about +4dB. HEADPHONES (6) - To avoid damaging your headphones always be sure the headphone volume level (11) is set to minimum before plugging them in. To avoid sever hearing damage, never put the headphone on without making sure the headphone level is turned down. MIC (7) - The mic connector uses a 1/4” plug that allows you to connect a 1/4” unbalanced mic cord. The mic also has an independent volume control. Always leave the mic level to it’s minimum level when not in use. Q-START FEATURE - This function works in conjunction with a compatible American Audio “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. Q-D1 MKII™ QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS ©American Audio® - www.AmericanAudio.us - Q-D1 MKII™ Instruction Manual Page 7
Q-D1 MKII™ CONTROLS AND FEATURES 1. MASTER VOLUME 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. Be sure this volume control is always set to zero before turning the unit on. 2. MIC LEVEL - This rotary knob is used to control the microphone volume output level. Turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase volume output. 3. CHANNEL BASS CONTROL - This knob is used to adjust the low frequency levels of a channel allowing for a maximum bass gain of 12dB or maximum signal decrease of -26 dB. Turning the knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of bass applied to a channel signal, turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of bass applied to a channel signal. 4. CUE MIXING CONTROLLER - This switch selects the channel for monitoring. The monitor signal comes from the Prefader. This means it will not be affected by the channel faders. You can monitor each channel individually. Connect your headphones to the HEADPHONES jack. Flip the CUE MIXING CONTROL switch to channel you wish to monitor. If the CUE MIXING CONTROL is set to the center position, you can monitor both the channels at once. 5. “Q” START ON/OFF - This function works in conjunction with a compatible American Audio® "Q" Front Panel ©American Audio® - www.AmericanAudio.us - Q-D1 MKII™ Instruction Manual Page 8 1 11 10 9 8 13 5 4 3 2 12 76
Q-D1 MKII™ CONTROLS AND FEATURES CONT.
series professional CD player. When used with a compatible "Q" series CD player, you can use the
CROSSFADER (
8) to start and stop the CD Player. The ON/OFF “Q” START switch activates this
FADER “Q” START feature. When in the ON position, the FADER “Q” START
function allows the fader
to return automatically to the CD players
preset cue point by simply sliding the CROSSFADER (8)
back and forth.
For example, each time you slide the crossfader to
the far left, the "Q" start function will trigger
the play mode for any CD player connected to PLAYER CONTROL "A". Play will begin at
that unit's last set cue point. Turn the
"Q" ON/OFF SWITCH to the OFF position to disengage
“Q” Start function and resume normal fader operation.
6. 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 VOLUME LEVEL (11) is set
to minimum before you put the headphones on.
7. MICROPHONE CONNECTOR
- This jack is used to a connect a microphone to the mixer. Connect
your microphone via this 1/4 inch (6.3mm) jack. The signal volume will be controlled by the Mic Level
(2).
8. 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 channel
one and channel two will be even.
9. 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 (1).
10. 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.
11. CUE LEVEL VOLUME CONTROL - This knob adjusts the headphone volume output level. Turning
the knob in clockwise direction will increase headphone volume output.
12. CHANNEL TREBLE CONTROL
- This knob is used to adjust the treble levels of a chan-
nel allowing for a maximum treble gain of 12dB or maximum decrease of -26 dB. Turning the
knob in a counter-clockwise direction will decrease the amount of treble applied to a chan-
nel signal,
turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the amount of treble applied
to a channel signal.
13 . 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 the gain level control:
1. Be sure the MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (
1) is set to level 8.
2. Set the
CHANNEL VOLUME FADER (9) 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
.

14. MAIN POWER SWITCH - This is the main power ON/OFF button. Before main power is applied, be sure you have made all connections to the mixer. Also be sure your amplifier(s) is tuned off. Remem - ber to avoid damaging pops, mixer on first and turned off last. 15. AC VOLTAGE INPUT - This connector is used to supply main power to the unit via the included detachable power supply. Only use the supplied power adaptor to avoid damaging the unit. The unit receives an input power supply of AC 9v/1000mA. 16. RCA MASTER OUTPUTS - The Master Output includes a pair of RCA Unbalanced Jacks to form a stereo output. The left channel is clearly marker with “L” and is color coded white, the right channel output is marked “R” and is color coded red. The RCA jacks send a low current unbalanced output signal to your amplifier or tuner. When connecting to a tuner be sure to use the “AUX” inputs. 17. REC OUT - This is a low current unbalanced output source designed for various tape and CD recorders. The Record Out (REC OUT) level is dictated by the CHANNEL FADER LEVEL (9), it is not influenced by the MASTER VOLUME CONTROL (1). 18. CHANNEL 2: LINE 2 RCA INPUT JACKS - These Jacks are used for line level inputs. Connect CD players such as the American Audio ® CDS-1™ or tape decks to LINE inputs. Line level musical instru- ments with stereo outputs such as Rhythm Machines or Samplers should also be connected to LINE inputs. Turntables should only be connected to “Phono” inputs. The red colored RCA jack represents the right channel input and the white represents the left channel input. The output level for any device connected to these input jacks will be controlled by FADER CHANNEL 2. 19.
