When im on side a with the cross fader I can set the headphones to hear both tunes, when the cross fader is at side b I can only here the tune in side b, I cant here the tune I was to move it across to. I would of thought the settings would work for both dircetions. How can I get it to work??

Bypass the Effects by jumpering the EFX loop send/return jacks. Mine had a bad effects processor converter chip, that was random and lost main bus signal intermittently.

/it's most likely a defective fader, but before replacing it, get a can of Deoxit5 or fader cleaner and spray inside the fader, then move it the full length os travel about 20 times to see it that clears it up.

Check you cue level ... it must be at 10oclock position

This is an intonation issue. If you can find a music store that works with violins, talk to someone there who will certainly be better informed than I am. At least they can tell you if it's worth your time to fix it, or more cost effective to replace it.

Loose connection or fader/pot needing cleaning. Try selective tapping and wobbling until you locate it. You could try contact cleaner if it's a pot/fader otherwise it's out with the iron unless it's just a loose lead internally.

There is NO way to select channels to "Source"... The selections on this mixer are to send the channels to SOLO, Sub1-2 or Sub 3-4 and/or main L-R. You should have the bottom button for each channel punched down to L-R. NEVER connect ANYTHING other than an external effects unit to the INSERT jacks!!!! These jacks are combined output/input jacks with send and return on the same jack. Special insert cables are used for these. An external drum machine should be connected to a line input for one of the channels USING a TRS balanced cable. Page 28 of your user manual shows the block diagram and signal flow diagram. The trim control is the input gain control. Start with those say at 12 o'clock and advance the fader for the channel of interest...you should get signal at the main outs. MAKE SURE that the lines from the mixer to the amps are BALANCED TRS type cables... You cannot use unbalanced cables for this. The user manual explains balanced cables and what they look like. I just repaired one of these mixers that some foolish people plugged stuff into the MAIN INSERT jacks and blew out the driver that drives the MAIN insert which kills the input to the MAIN output drivers. There is one small chip between the AMAIN fader and the sub next to it and one has to remove every knob and take the unit all apart to get to it... It is a tiny surface mounted part the size of a matchhead with 8 leads... not for the faint of heart to repair. As a test of this part, you can plug a st of headphones into the RIGHT MAIN insert jack and drive audio into a channel... turn trim control up fully for the channel and the fader on full, and set the PAN control to 12 oclock and punch down the L-R button for that channel. You should hear the audio in ONLY the left ear... Now try the phones in the LEFT INSERT jack... you again should hear the audio in the left headphone only (these jacks are not stereo like the headphones). If you cannot hear anything, then likely somebody has blown that driver in your unit... It is painful and time consuming to repair this... there are hundreds of knobs to pull off and put back on... dozens of screws and cables and to get it all back together. Also make sure ALL of your interconnected equipment is powered from a SINGLE receptacle or power module. Read your user manual thoughroughly. You can get one online download if you need it.

Check that the noise is NOT a funtion of an "effect" that the MAIN runs through. Do you hear it via the main amps or is it just in the headphones from the main? Pressing a PFL for a channel should bring ONLY that channel into the headphones UNLESS other PFL's are down... and NOT affect the main. Something is not clear here.

there is the manual
But to actually answer some questions for you as well.
1. How do I connect it to my monitors?
Out of the back of the console there is a Main Out : Left and Right. there are two sets, one is XLR, second is 1/4 in. Run those to Powered Speakers and Voila.
Note: If you are using unpowered speakers then you will need a poweramp to run speakers.
2. and 3. first make sure your fader is all the way down
Once you plug in your microphone the top white knob is your gain preamp actually turning your voice going into the board up.
Second set your Main Mix fader: far right faders to 0. Then, the channel your microphone is on bring up the fader and you should start hearing some of your vocal through the monitors.
4th. At the Top right there are two sets of stereo ins (RCA) all you need is a 1/8 in to RCA cable coming out of the Headphone/Line Out of your computer.
Good Luck, Cody J.

I suspect one end of the crossfader pot has broken from the element. The fader probably costs less than $5.

You likely will have to remove all the knobs and some screws to seperate the board with the fader from the front panel so you can replace the fader.

VERIFY the pot is bad with an ohmmeter before dis-assembling however.

You MAY be in luck. It looks like the cross fader has a connector which MIGHT allow you to remove it or certainly only a small board for replacement, seeing these take abuse.

It appears that the cross fader is a dual 100K type B taper.
