Overview
In this section we will give you basic information on the operation of the
Fader 2
(
F.2.
) and adequately
describe its controls and connectors.
The information in this section of the manual is intended to help with the technical process when using
your
F.2.
Words alone can not adequately describe how to adjust the slide fader for every situation you
might encounter. You should experiment with fader levels to achieve the best results for any particular
situation. Your ears should be your best gauge of how to adjust the fader on the
F.2.
to make the sound fit
your requirements.
Hooking up the Fader 2
Due to the high performance of the
F.2.
it is recommended that you use only the highest quality audio
cable. A high quality cable by definition is a cable that provides good mechanical strength, high
microphonic noise immunity, high frequency response, low crosstalk, and 100% shielding ability. All
audio cable used should be a 3 conductor foil shield type (2 inner conductors and a shield drain
conductor). It is not recommended that the 2 conductor “off the shelf cables” be used.
All wire and cable interfaced to the
F.2.
should be terminated with high quality connectors. An XLR
connector should make a positive connection to its respective mating jack and provide adequate strain
relief to its cable. All connectors should also have a metal shell to provide 100% shield for exposed
conductors.
We do believe that “you get what you pay for” and advise not to purchase lower quality cables. We
recommend that you purchase from a reputable cable manufacturer that uses brand name materials.
Brand name cables include (in no particular order): Mogami, Canare, Belden, Gepco, Redco, and ProCo.
Connector brands include Switchcraft and Neutrik.
