D-Control Guide 22
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.
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.
‹
If you are placing the Main Unit to the left of the Fader
Module, you need to move the spacer plate from the Fader
Module to the Main Unit. Refer to “Moving the Spacer Plate”
on page 23 before installing the units on the stand.
‹
If you are placing the Main Unit to the right of the Fader
Module, you can use the spacer plate on the Fader Module as
pre-installed. Proceed to “Installing the Units on the Stand”
on page 24.
32-Fader System
If you are building a 32-fader D-Control, you can place the
Main Unit to the left, to the right, or in between the two Fader
Modules.
‹
If you are placing the Main Unit to the left or in between the
two Fader Modules, you need to move the spacer plate from
the far-right Fader Module to the Main Unit. Refer to “Moving
the Spacer Plate” on page 23 before installing the units on the
stand.
‹
If you are placing the Main Unit to the right of the two
Fader Modules, you can use the spacer plates as pre-installed
on the Fader Modules. Proceed to “Installing the Units on the
Stand” on page 24.
