Knobs The Mix knobs are a key part of Conectiv s flexibility These knobs function as crossfaders that let you blend between your inputs mic phono line and your audio software s outputs on each channel In other words when the knobs are turned counterclockwise to the CH A or CH B positions only your microphone phono or line level input is heard from Conectiv s associated outputs When the knob is turned clockwise to the USB A or USB B positions only your audio software s outputs are heard When the Mix knob is set to the twelve o clock position both your line input and your computer s output are heard in equal proportion In some cases you ll need to turn the Mix knob clockwise For example when you re mixing music played off of a computer you ll need to set these knobs clockwise in order to hear the computer s output In other cases you must set the knob counter clockwise to hear the inputs such as when you re DJing off of turntables or CD players In certain cases you ll need to use this knob to blend back and forth between your inputs and your audio software s outputs For example when using your computer as a DJ effects processor see below this knob will act as your wet dry effects knob synchrestience User Guide O conectiv Headphone Monitoring Conectiv offers two different headphone or cue monitoring options for DJs which are described below Use the Split switch 3 to select which mode you d
