Installing The Fairlight Panels - Blackmagicdesign Fairlight Assembly Manual

Installing the Fairlight Panels

The most common layout Fairlight audio engineers use for mounting the modules is to place the
Fairlight Console Audio Editor directly in front of the operator, the Fairlight Console Channel
Control and Channel Fader modules on each side, and the channel control modules above each
channel fader module. Their respective LCD monitors are installed along the top with the monitor
infill module. The small surface in between the Fairlight modules is for a mouse or trackball.
If you don't have all the modules for a full console, you can fill in the spaces with blank panels
until you are ready to add more modules later. You can add modules any time you like and as
you need them based on your production requirements.
To install the Fairlight modules into the console chassis:
1 Remove the back panel from the chassis by unscrewing the M3 screws using
a Pozidriv 2 screwdriver, and keep the panel and screws nearby in a safe place.
Removing the back panel provides better access to the inside of the chassis
when installing the Fairlight modules.
2 Each Fairlight module has its own module bracket you can easily lift and remove
from the chassis. This lets you install modules into their brackets on a bench where
there is more space, then easily mount the assembled brackets into the chassis.
Hold each bracket arm and gently rotate the bracket up from the chassis. The bracket
hinges from the rear, allowing you to free the bracket from the chassis by pulling it
away from the hinge pin.
