CROSSFADER REPLACEMENT
The crossfader is “Hot Swapable” which means it may be replaced at any time, even when power is
applied. Only replace with American Audio Part Feather Fader Plus. Replacing with any other model
fader may seriously damage your mixer. Please, always use insulated tools.
Replacing the Crossfader:
1. Using a Phillips screw driver, unscrew the six stainless steel retainer screws that hold the mixer
face plate in place.
2. Gently remove the crossfader knob. Lift and remove the mixer face plate to access the cross
fader. Carefully pull the crossfader up from its seated position.
3. After removing the crossfader, disconnect the ribbon cable that attaches the crossfader to the
PC board. Grasp the crossfader by its base and pull the ribbon cable by its connector not the
actual cables. The connector is designed to only fit one way, so don’t worry about the connec-
tors orientation.
4. Unscrew the ground cable from the crossfader plate. Now unscrew the crossfader from the
crossfader plate and replace with the new crossfader. Connect the ground cable to the cross
fader plate.
5. Connect the new crossfader to the ribbon cable and replace in reverse order.
NOTE: All other areas of the VERSADECK are not to be opened or replaced by user, dealer, or un-
authorized service centers. These actions will result in a voided warranty.
