FEATUES The world's first quadraphonic (4channel) output allows DJs to expand their performance to 3D level. Q-stick controls the dimension of each input source amongst four speakers. The beats and scratches fly around the room front, back, left and right. Effect send volume controls are provided to each program. Effect return can be assigned to each program or the master enabling various flying effects. Effect return is also equipped with a dedicated two band equalizer. Master trim volume lets DJs "Crab Scratch" on master fader. Crossfader and Inputfader status (reverse or normal) is indicated in meter section. Input jacks are provided specially only for "SESSION IN" and "" which is required by I.S.P. A 3-band EQ is provided on each program. The adjustment range(+6db to -4dB) enables equalization and frequency elimination. Vestax invented the crossfader reverse switch and curve contorol and provided this feature for input faders as well. All faders are "photo coupler" to provide quicker response and longevity. Master / Cue select switch is provided to enable monitoring of cue source or master output signal. Master output is equipped with balanced /4 inch connectors for accurate sound integrity and durability. 3
