4.01 X-Filter

When used in conjunction with the crossfade the X-Filter facility on the M2 allows the user

to mix selected bands of frequencies from one crossfade busbar together with selected

frequencies from the other busbar. The three X-Filter buttons on the left-hand side can be

used to remove any combination of top, mid and low frequencies from the signal on the A

busbar. The three buttons on the right provide the same function for the B busbar.

Illumination of the led adjacent to the switch indicates that the band of frequencies has

been ‘cut’.

4.02 Crossfade

The A & B music busbars are routed through the X-Filter to the crossfade control circuitry.

This smooth acting 45mm fader can then be used to fade from the A busbar to the B

busbar at the extremity of travel; a centre detent is fitted to allow positive positioning. In

the central position, both A & B busbar signals are operational with no signal loss.

4.03 Chopfade

This function uses logic controlled momentary action switches to 'chop' from A busbar

signals to B busbar signals, producing an effect similar to rapidly moving the crossfade

from one extremity to the other. This swift switching is totally silent and a useful tool for

the inventive DJ. The central momentary switch turns the effect on and off, with random

selection. For a positive condition upon switch on, the A or B switch should be depressed

at the time of switching on. Holding both A & B switches will result in both channels

operating, simulating the centre fader position. Note that the X-Filter effects the signals

going to the chopfade as well as the signal going to the crossfade.

4.04 M2 Master Module signal routing

The main stereo music busbar is summed with the crossfade output; this combined signal

is then routed to the master music fader and subsequently the music only output. The

microphone busbar is also summed and routed to the master microphone fader and

microphone only output. These two signals are then combined to form the main output

signal. The pre-fade music and mic signals are also sent to the Output 2 level controls,

then summed to provide a secondary output.

The provision of separate mic and music outputs allows the use of the rack mounting CX

Zoner, providing a high degree of flexibility particularly when the mixer and zoner are part

of a complex discotheque sound system. This extends the zone capabilities of the mixer

from the standard two output zones (main output and output 2), giving an additional five

zones. This facility for configuring mic/music levels in up to seven zones and the

capability of reducing the mic level in the booth to reduce feedback are useful facilities.

4.05 Music Only Output

The music only output is fully balanced and uses separate 3 pin XLR type connectors for

left and right outputs which can be used in the unbalanced mode if required, with a 6dB

loss in gain (See 6.02 "Unbalanced Mode"). The rated output of OdBu (775mV) should

interface with most equipment but is primarily intended to connect to the Cloud CX Zoner.

4.06 Microphone Only Output

This microphone only output is controlled by the master microphone fader and uses

separate 3 pin XLR type connectors for the left and right balanced outputs which can be

used in unbalanced mode if required, with a 6dB loss in gain (see 6.02 "Unbalanced

Mode"). The rated output of OdBu (775mV) should interface with most equipment but is

primarily intended to connect to the Cloud CX Zoner.

4.07 Main Output

The main output section has separate faders to control the microphone and music

signals. The "output" LED display constantly monitors the level and is accurately

calibrated if precise control is required. Separate left and right balanced outputs are

provided, using 3 pin XLR type connectors which can be used in the unbalanced mode if
