These controls are used to increase or decrease the LOW's, MID's, and HI's of the output signal. The Q-D3 features "Rotary Kills" with a -30dB to +20dB gain control. Turning the knob counter-clockwise will decrease a particular frequency applied to an output signal, turning a knob clockwise will increase a particular frequency applied to an output signal.

When used with a compatible CD player, you can use the crossfader to start and stop the CD play. The ON/OFF "Q" START (8) switch activates the fader "Q" start feature. When the fader "Q" start feature is activated sliding the CROSSFADER (14) from left to right will play or cue any CD player connected to the controller jacks (16) on the rear of the unit.
