General

The following information should give you the basics on how to install the 

One Fader

 and power 

module.  The proper installation requires a clear understanding of audio wiring, grounding, and shielding 
techniques.
          

Unpacking & Inspection

The 

One Fader

 is delivered in a special protective container and has been carefully inspected both 

mechanically and electrically before shipment.  All items should be physically free of mars and scratches 
and in perfect electrical order upon receipt.  To confirm this, your product and power module should be 
inspected for physical damage that may have occurred in transit.  Any damage should be reported to your 
dealer or delivery company as soon as possible.

If the product is to be shipped to Speck Electronics for service or repair, contact Speck Electronics for a 
Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA).  Include the model number and serial number of the product.  
Place the product in the original container if available.  If the original container is not used, wrap the 
product in heavy plastic before placing in a suitable container.  Use plenty of packing material around all 
sides of the product and protect panel surfaces with cardboard strips. Mark shipping container with 
“Delicate Instrument” or “Fragile,” and insure the shipment for the proper value.

Cleaning

To clean the top panel, wipe the surface gently using a soft lint-free cloth to avoid scratching the panel or 
markings.  Paper towels are not recommended.  Commercially available window cleaner solutions may be 
used; however, the solution should be applied to the cloth and not the panel to avoid the seepage of liquid 
to the inside of the enclosure.

Do not use brushes or feather dusters to remove dust. This may cause dust to fall into the openings around 
the slide fader and pushbutton switch.

Mechanical Installation

The One Fader was designed to be placed on a desktop.  The mounting location should be such that the 
operator has a clear, unobstructed view of the top panel from his/her normal operating position.
