1 Introduction
1.1 Background
FaderMate is a moving fader automation system which has been designed to be retrofitted
to a wide range of analogue recording consoles.
Fitting the system involves replacing the existing audio faders in the console with the
motorised faders supplied as part of the FaderMate Fader Control Unit (FCU) kit.
FaderMate specifically does not require any mechanical modifications to be made to fader-
related metalwork in most consoles.
Each bank of 8 faders is controlled by a single FCU circuit board (see section 2.4) which
must be installed in the fader tray void. The FaderMate system as a whole is controlled by
a 1U rackmount Master Control Unit ( MCU - see section 2.2).
