Replacing Faders
REPLACING FADERS
The XFADER and main channel faders on a DJ mixer are heavily used and can suffer considerable wear and tear.
The audio design using VCAs prevents clicks and scratchiness as the fader wears. Over time, however, the me-
chanical movement may become stiff, or sloppy, or ingrained with dirt. Intermittent or noisy operation is also an
indication of faders becoming worn. Should this be the case the fader may need replacement.
DO NOT use propriety fader cleaners on new faders as this can displace factory applied finishes.
