The crossfader is "Hot Swappable" which means it may be replaced at any time, even when
power is applied. Only replace with American Audio Part Feather Fader Plus. Replacing with
any other model fader may seriously damage your unit.
Replacing the Crossfader
1. Disconnect the mixers main power supply
2. Using a number two Phillips screw driver, unscrew the each of the stainless steel retain screws
that hold the crossfader in place.
3. Gently remove the crossfader from its seated position. You may need to wiggle the crossfader
slightly to remove it.
4. After removing the crossfader, disconnect the ribbon cable that attaches the crossfader to the
PC board. Grasp the crossfader by its base and pull the ribbon cable by its connector not the
actual cables. The connector is designed to only fit one way, so don't worry about the connec-
tors orientation.
5. Connect the new crossfader to the ribbon cable and replace in reverse order.
Operating Determinations
When installing this mixer, please make sure that the device is not exposed to extreme heat, mois-
ture or dust! There should not be any cables lying around. Doing so endangers you as well as oth-
ers. Do not operate the mixer in extremely hot (more than 30°C/100°F) or extremely cold (less than
5°C / 40°F) surroundings. Keep away from direct sunlight and heaters.
Operate the mixer only after becoming familiar with its functions. Do not permit operation by per-
sons not qualified for operating the mixer. Most damages are the result of unprofessional operation!
Never use spray cleaners to clean the faders! Never use solvents or abrasive detergents to clean
the mixer! It is recommended that you use a soft damp cloth. Please consider that unauthorized
modifications on the device are forbidden due to safety reasons!
