User Manual

Each channel boards an EQ section with the three usual knobs HI, MID and LOW for controlling
high, medium and low frequency content of the signal, respectively.
►
Turn each EQ knob clockwise to emphasize the corresponding frequency band, and coun-
terclockwise to attenuate this band. At center detent position, the knob does not alter the
signal.
TRAKTOR provides you with various types of EQ, each of them having its own “personali-
ty.” You can choose the EQ type in Preferences > Mixer > EQ Selection. For more info,
please refer to the TRAKTOR 2 Manual.
Below the EQ, the FILTER knob allows you to adjust the channel’s on-board dual-mode filter.
From the center detent position, turning the knob clockwise activates a high-pass filter, where-
as turning it counterclockwise activates a low-pass filter. On left and right end, the filter al-
most acts as a high frequency and low frequency killer, respectively.
►
From its center detent position, turn the FILTER knob clockwise to cut low and mid fre-
quencies and counterclockwise to cut high and mid frequencies.
TRAKTOR provides you with three different types of dual-mode filters. You can choose the
filter type in the Preferences > Mixer > Filter Selection. For more info, please refer to the
TRAKTOR 2 Manual.
Headphones Cue Button
The Headphones Cue button.
The Headphones Cue button (CUE) allows you to send the channel’s signal to the cue channel
—in other words, to your headphones. This is a basic feature for DJing, since it allows you to
cue the audio playing on that channel before using it in your mix.
►
Press the CUE button to send the channel’s signal to your headphones.
The Headphones Cue button lights up when activated, i.e. when the corresponding channel is
sent to the cue channel.
