MASTER FADER

The master fader is used to control

the stereo output of the console.

Unlike the channel faders it is

calibrated with the 0dB mark at

the top as the main purpose of this

fader is to create a fade out at the

end of a title.

Under normal operating conditions

the fader should always be set at

maximum. If it has to be pulled

back a significant distance it

indicates that the levels to the mix

bus are too high and should be

reduced.

1 The MASTER FADER

controls the level of the stereo

output signal.

2 This is the 0db mark. The fader

is fully open at this point.

3 With the fader here the signal

path is closed and no signal

will pass.

Console functions.
