Fader Wing Interaction With Eos Consoles
Eos will automatically recognize the fader wings and their configuration (10 x 2 or 20 x 2) once they
are plugged into the console. The system will configure the lower row of faders contiguously
starting with the furthest left connected panel as submaster 1. The second row then begins with the
next consecutive number over the last numbered fader on the bottom row. You can then use the
fader wings as submasters, adjusting settings from either the console or the wings themselves.
• Fader wings can only record intensity.
• Latest-Takes-Precedence (LTP): any levels set on the console will override settings on the
wings. Your next move on the fader wing will conquer the desk.
Fader Wing Paging
The fader wing is paged using the [Fader Page] button on the Eos console.
To change the fader page of a fader wing:
Step 1: Press and hold the [Fader Page] button on the Eos console. The LCD on the fader
wing will display the available pages beneath the fader bump buttons.
Step 2: Press the bump button corresponding to the page of submasters you wish to display
on the fader wing. The fader wing will display those submaster numbers after your
selection is made.
A maximum of 240 submasters are available distributed across all connected fader wings. For
example, if only one wing (2 x 10) were attached, there would be 15 pages of submasters. If there
were two wings (2 x 10) attached, there would be 10 pages of submasters.
Using the Faders
When the page is changed, the submaster LEDs will illuminate in the color of the new submaster
loaded on the page (green for additive and red for inhibitive). Fader wing submasters are not
motorized, therefore when you change pages you may have to manually reset the fader to the
proper location to reflect its current output level. If a submaster setting must be matched to gain
control, the LED will flash quickly in the appropriate color. The LED will stop flashing and illuminate
normally once the fader has been moved to the required location.
Otherwise, LED illumination states follow the conventions of the main face panel when submasters
are using fade and hold/dwell times. You may use the fader wing submasters in the same way as
you would use those on the console.
Using the Buttons
Each fader is equipped with two buttons beneath the potentiometer. The bottom button is the bump
key. The top button is the solo key. The action of these buttons is consistent with submasters on the
Eos console.
LCD
The display at the center of the fader wing shows the current value (0-100%) of the fader above and
the fader below, and either the sub number or the label. When the page is changed, the current
value will display the necessary percentage the fader must be set at to match the required level of
the submaster. An arrow is displayed showing which direction you must go to gain control from the
console sub masters.
