MASTER FADER
Congratulations
Congratulations on your new Master Fader. The Master Fader is carefully designed to remote control the Digital fader of the Finalizer.
We hope you will have as much pleasure using it as we had making it.
Why make a Master Fader?
If a fade is performed before the Finalizer, the Compressor will try to increase the level as the fader decreases. To avoid this problem,
fades must always be done after the Finalizer. The Master Fader makes it possible to perform a hand-fade on the very output of the
Finalizer enabling you to keep your fade in digital domain and ensuring perfect tracking of left and right.
Connecting and Calibrating the Master Fader
In order to work the Master Fader accurately, the Finalizer must be calibrated, here is what to do:
- Connect the Master Fader to the "Pedal In" jack of the Finalizer.
- Press and hold the Bypass key of the Finalizer while powering up.
- Scroll down to "Fader Calibration" using the Menu keys, and press the OK key.
- Move the Master Fader to maximum position. To compensate for mechanical tolerances draw back the Master
Fader slightly.
- Move the Master Fader to minimum position. To compensate for mechanical tolerances draw back the Master
Fader slightly.
The Master Fader is now Calibrated. Power On/Off.
Activating the Master Fader
To activate the Master Fader, enter the Utility menu and scroll down to "Pedal Input, Function" using the Menu keys. Dial the Adjust
wheel to choose "Ext. Fader".
The Master Fader is now controlling the Digital fader of the Finalizer. The Fader located in the Finalizer output section will now follow
and display the movement and the exact level of the Master Fader.
Cables and lengths
The Master Fader uses standard mono jack cables. The cable can be extended using the jack to jack adapter and can run at cable lengths
up to 25 meters. Remember to recalibrate after extending the cable.
