FADER CLEANING AND REPLACEMENT
After constant scratch use the SA-8 faders may need to be cleaned and lubricated from time to time. This will ensure long life and keep a smooth feeling throughout the fader's lifetime. Follow the instructions below to lubricate and clean your faders:
DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
REMOVING A FADER 1. Make sure mixer is powered off and power supply is disconnected from back of mixer. 2. To remove the lower faceplate, take off all the fader knobs and then remove the 4 screws located on the side of the mixer (2 on each side). Lift up on the faceplate and it will slide off. 3. Remove the fader to be cleaned or replaced by unscrewing the 2 outer screws on the fader plate (removing the 2 inner screws will detach the fader from the fader plate). 4. Disconnect the fader from mixer by removing the connector on the bottom of the fader. REPLACING A FADER: 1. Once the fader has been removed, simply plug the connector into the new fader. 2. Place fader back in mixer and replace 2 outer screws to secure fader.
(10) Cue Level � Controls the headphone output (23) level. (11) Rumble Filter � Rumble is a term used to describe mechanical vibrations traveling through the turntable into the stylus and being amplified as low frequencies. The rumble filter will cut these frequencies off and prevent feedback from the turntable reaching the output of the mixer. The rumble filter is adjustable from 0 Hz (OFF) to 20 Hz (The human ear can only hear above 16 Hz).
sor. (17) Aux / FX Cue � This button allows you to cue your FX RETURN or AUX input depending on the position of the AUX/FX Selector switch (37). (18) OSII � Optical Scratch switches for each channel. This is simply an on/off switch used to perform various scratch tricks. (19) Line Faders � Controls the channel output level. The curve of the line fader is determined by curve control switch (25) located on the front panel. The line fader may also be reversed by using the line fader reverse switch (24) on the front panel. (20) Headphone Mute Switch � Mutes headphone output (23). Mute is on when red LED is illuminated next to switch. (21) Crossfader � Fades the overall mixer output between channel 1 and channel 2. The curve of the crossfader is determined by the CF Curve knob (27) located on the front panel. The crossfader may also be reversed by using the CF Reverse switch (28) on the front panel. (22) Input Level Meter � Displays each channels input (in dB) level with peak hold. When indicator shows a red bar
CLEANING A FOCUS FADER: 1. Once fader is removed from unit, you will need to separate the fader casing from the fader itself to have access to inner suspension. The fader casing is the metal piece that covers 3 of the sides of the fader. To remove the casing pull apart the two flaps on the side of the fader and remove casing. 2. Once casing has been removed wipe down the rails with a cotton swab to remove excess dirt. 3. Lubricant can be applied to the rails. Thinner liquid-like lubricant is suggested but if you desire a slower or more resistant focus fader you may use grease like lubricant.
(12) Booth � Controls the level of the BOOTH (42) output. (13) Master � Controls the overall volume level of the mixer. (14) FX1 / FX2 � These 2 buttons assign the FX Loop to its respective channel. the FX loop can be assigned to both channels at the same time. (15) Hi, Mid, Low � Adjusts Hi, Mid, and Low frequencies (+ 9/-20 dB) for PGM 1 & 2. (16) Input Selector � Selects the input source (FX / PHONO / LINE) for each channel. When FX is selected the FX RETURN is routed to that channel and the line fader for that particular channel becomes the level control for the audio coming back from the effects proces-
