Installing D-Control Units - DigiDesign D-Control Manual

Installing D-Control Units

After the stand has been assembled, the next step is preparing
the D-Control Main Unit and Fader Modules for installation.
Attaching the Spacer Plate
A metal spacer plate goes between each D-Control unit on the
D-Control stand.
Figure 16. D-Control spacer plate (removed from a Fader Module)
A spacer plate is pre-installed on the right side of each Fader
Module. Depending on the size and configuration of your
D-Control system, you may need to move the plate from one
of the Fader Modules to the Main Unit. Refer to the section be-
low for your system configuration.
16-Fader System
If you are building a 16-fader D-Control, you can place the
Main Unit either to the left or to the right of the Fader
Module.
