indication, and can significantly reduce operating errors.

to forget which function is currently being controlled, especially when grabbing a fader in a hurry.

currently assigned to a particular fader.

General
Fader Glow (Pat. Pend.) is a unique feature that gives the user an additional level of status
overview, and can significantly reduce operating errors.
Because in a modern digital console, several different levels can be assigned to a particular
fader, it can be easy to forget which function is currently being controlled, especially when
grabbing a fader in a hurry.
The main principle of the FADER GLOW is therefore to indicate the actual function type that
will be changed if a particular fader is moved.
FADER GLOW is available on all 40 Faders that can change their function.
The FADER GLOW light pipe is a specially designed high-tech part, to guarantee that the
indication is always visible.
