Crossfader
Each channel can be assigned to the crossfader (12) using the A/OFF/B switch (10). The crossfader allows melting
the signals assigned to its sides. If the switch is in position A or B, the channel is assigned to one or the other side
of the crossfader. The OFF position disables the crossfader function for this channel.
The NUO3.0's crossfader includes a range of controls which allow adjusting its behavior and make it a really
accurate tool. The XFADER SHAPE control (29) allows you to precisely adjust the skew angle of the crossfader's
curve. Turning the controller completely to the left, the two songs will be melt softly. The crossfader's curve raises
when turning the controller to the right. Moving the controller completely to the right, the signal will enter suddenly
with just a short movement of the crossfader, which is a very suitable feature for scratching techniques.
The REVERSE switch (27) inverts the crossfader's direction. Depending on the selected direction, it is possible to
perform "cuts" as well as "transforms" moving the crossfader into the same direction.
The electronically correction for the CUT IN (28) is only effective if the NUO3.0 has been equipped with the optional
ETERNAL crossfader. If it only wears the standard crossfader, the CUT IN potentiometer must remain in the OFF
position. The CUT IN is the existing distance between the physical end of the crossfader and the entering point of
the signal. The position with the shortest CUT IN provides a nearly instantaneous signal cut. To find this position
the fader has to be set to an end and the CUT IN potentiometer must be turned rightwards until a musical signal
can be heard. To enlarge the CUT IN time, turn the potentiometer to the left.
If you want to extend the life time of your crossfader, the NUO3.0 allows the installation of the awarded ETERNAL
crossfader. This inductive crossfader technology is based on a magnetic control system and is completely contact
free. The combination of this technology with an exclusive, mechanical sliding system provides a soft handling and
one of the most precise crossfaders available these days. The inductive ETERNAL crossfader has been specially
designed to execute extreme turntablism techniques, which require an extremely soft and fast movement of the
crossfader.
If you wish to install the ETERNAL crossfader, please accomplish the following instructions:
1. Remove the buttons from the sliding and rotating potentiometers of
the mixer surface.
2. Unscrew the outer screws holding the mixer control plate in place
and remove it.
3. Remove the two screws holding the crossfader in place and
remove it.
4. Carefully disconnect the multipin connector.
5. Replace the crossfader with the ETERNAL crossfader.
6. Connect the multipin connector you disconnected before.
7. Fix it with the two screws. Make sure the orientation is the one described on the drawing.
8. Put the control plate back in place and screw it tight.
9. Put the potentiometer buttons back in place.
ATTENTION: Always use original ECLER replacement parts.
WARNING: the replacement of the crossfader has to be done by a qualified technician.
MASTER and BOOTH output levels
The NUO3.0 features two main output level controls MASTER and BOOTH. The MASTER level is controlled by the
MASTER (16) level knob. The BOOTH level is controlled by the BOOTH (17) level knob.
The balance potentiometer BAL (21) and the L+R switch (19) affect both outputs.
