Crossfader Section
25. Crossfade Assign B
This button will assign the selected channel to the right hand side ‘B’ of the crossfade. The button will illuminate
blue when selected.
26. Crossfade Assign A
This button will assign the selected channel to the left hand side ‘A’ of the crossfade. The button will illuminate
blue when selected.
27. VCA X-Fade
This smooth action crossfader is VCA (Voltage Control Ampilfier) controlled this allows the user to adjust the
curve of fade from one side to the other.
Replacement of the Crossfader
When the crossfader has worn out it is very easy to replace. The SM-FX500 Ultima has been fitted with a quick
access panel, which can be changed in a matter of seconds, even while the mixer is in use. Follow these simple
steps:
1. Remove the crossfader panel using a Pozi-head screw driver
2. Lift out the removeable panel
3. Disconnect the crossfader assembly
4. Refit the connector to the new crossfader
5. Replace the panel and re-fit the screws
28. Fader Indicators
When the X-Fade effect switch (43) is in the ‘X-FADER’ or ‘AUTO’ position, these LED’s will light indicating
which side of the crossfade is supplying the output signal. As the crossfade is moved toward the opposite side
the LED will begin to flash, just before the music output changes to the opposite side the LED will flash quickly.
29. Fader Start Selector
This switch will allow a compatible CD-Player to be started using the crossfader. The control cables need to be
connected from (50) to the back of the CD-Player. If crossfade ‘A’ is switched on, when the fader is moved from
‘B’ to ‘A’ the CD will play, when the crossfader is moved back from ‘A’ to ‘B’ the CD will return to its Cue point.
Therefore moving the fader left to right quickly will give a stutter effect.
30. X-Fade Curve Control
This rotary knob controls the curve of the VCA crossfade. The Curve can be set from a smooth fade for mixing
to a sharp cut for scratching.
Selecting this symbol gives a sharp curve on the crossfade. With the crossfader in the ‘B’ position
moving the crossfade 2mm to the left will bring in the channel assigned to ‘A’ at full volume, this is ideal for
scratching.
Selecting this symbol gives a fade without any drop in sound level. At the centre point both channel
will be a their full volume. There will be a slight increase in volume at the centre point as the two outputs
overlap.
Selecting this symbol gives a fade with a drop in the music level of 2dB at the centre point the music
from the opposite channel will come in at this level also. This should give a mix with no increase in the master
volume if the gains from both channels are at an equal dB.
31. Power Switch
Use this switch to turn the power on/off to the mixer.
Note: Be sure to switch on the power to your mixer before the amplification system.
