Why Make a Master Fader?
If a fade is performed before the DBMAX, the Compressor will try to increase the level as the fade decreases. To avoid this problem,
fades must always be done after the DBMAX. The Master Fader makes it possible to perform a manual fade on the very Output of the
DBMAX, enabling you to keep your fade in digital domain and ensuring perfect tracking of Left and Right.
Connecting and Calibrating the Master Fader
In order to work the Master Fader accurately, the DBMAX must be calibrated:
- Connect the Master Fader to the External Controller jack of the DBMAX.
- Press and hold the BYPASS key of the DBMAX while powering up.
- Scroll down to Fader Calibration using the MENU keys, and press the OK key.
- Move the Master Fader to maximum position. To compensate for mechanical tolerances draw back the Master Fader slightly.
- Press OK
- Move the Master Fader to minimum position. To compensate for mechanical tolerances draw back the Master Fader slightly.
- Press OK
- The Master Fader is now Calibrated. Turn power On/Off.
Activating the Master Fader
To activate the Master Fader, enter the Utility menu and scroll down to Pedal Input Function using the MENU keys. Dial the
ADJUST wheel to choose Ext. Fader.
The Master Fader is now controlling the digital Fader of the DBMAX. The Fader located in the DBMAX Output section will now
follow, and display the movement and the exact level of the Master Fader.
Cables and Lengths
The Master Fader uses standard mono jack cables. The cable can be extended using the jack to jack adapter, and can run at cable
lengths up to 100 meters. Remember to recalibrate after extending the cable.
