16/32 – User Manual
5.3.1. General control panel settings
PC Mac
- Output Channels: There are 2 sets of software sliders (1-2, 3-4), which function as master
volume controls for the corresponding outputs. You can alter the balance (left/right) using the
balance knob on top of each set of output channel sliders. You can click the link icon
underneath the sliders to disable/enable the sliders moving together, as opposed to on their
own. You can also mute the outputs by clicking the volume icon underneath the link icon.
- Input Channels: You can select the appropriate input level for input channels 1-2 and 3-4:
microphone, phono level, consumer line level (-10dBv), pro line level (+4dBu) or boosted line
level (+8dBu) for channels 1-2; and phono level, consumer line level, pro line level or boosted
line level for channels 3-4 (you can therefore only use a microphone on channels 1-2, and not
channels 3-4). Select the input level that best corresponds to the output level of the audio
source connected to input channels 1-2 and 3-4.
Please note that when recording your microphone, you temporarily lose the use of inputs 1-2.
When you use the talkover option for your microphone, your voice is mixed via hardware and
you can still use inputs 1-2; however, you cannot record your microphone with this configuration.
- Audio mode (Windows only, not available on Mac)
: Lets you select the appropriate audio mode
for the applications you wish to use:
- WDM is the standard Windows audio mode, also called DirectSound. Select this mode when
using multimedia players, watching movies, and so on.
- ASIO will only work with programs that support this driver mode (for more information, please
refer to chapter 5.3.3. ASIO tab
).
VirtualDJ switches to ASIO mode automatically, but if you are using other programs, you must
switch to ASIO mode manually before launching the application. You can only switch between
modes when playback is stopped.
- Select Device (Mac only): If you have more than one DJ Console Mk4 controller connected to
your Mac, you can switch between their control panels here.
