Alignment of motorfader touch sensitivity
in Cinemix consoles
Good working touch sensitivity faderknobs are very well depending upon environmental
conditions in the studio and the skin of its user, so good alignment is the basis for a reliable
working system and needs to be performed at the best in the studio itself.
At the factory we have a different environmental condition and another humidity percentage
then at your l.ocation. So factory adjustments do not always guarantuee proper working touch
citcuitry on arrival of the console.
Guide lines for adjustment
1. Make sure you have properly grounded the console from its central ground point to a clean
studio ground.
2. Now turn on the console and let it warm up for a minimum of one hour to create a realistic
working environment. Adjustments performed on a “cold” console do not garantuee a stable
performing of the touch electronics. This type of circuitry is very sensitive to all environment
changes such as humidity of the record room as well as the skin conditions of the engineer
working at console.
3. Put all channels in the “Write Mode” (Ctrl/W, as a short cut)
4. Move all faders to their top position by hand.
5. Now check if the PowerVCA screen also has repositioned the faders.
6. Now put all the faders in the “ Read Mode” (Ctrl/R, as a short cut)
7. Now move all the faders down by hand.
8. Most faders will jump back to their recorded “top” position, that is correct
9. Those faders that are not jumping back to their recorded top position need to be adjusted.
Adjustment of the touch circuitry
Adjustment is performed on the motorfader cards mounted underneath the modules.
It is wise to remove all the screws that hold the modules and take out maybe module 1 and 2,
so the rest of the modules could be moved to reach for the touch trimmer pots.
Trimmer pots VR1 up to VR8 are the touch trimmers.
Now turn the pot fully counter clockwise (with the fader still sitting down) untill the fader
moves back to its recorded (top) position.
Perform this procedure for all not optimal working faders.
