  • Again, check the XFADER travels ≤1mm, toward the Y position, before the audio signal cuts IN
  • Turn the corresponding channel fader down.
  • Next, route audio to two mix channels, assigning one to X side of the XFADER and the other to Y, and check the XFADER function and different XFADER curve switch options to confirm adjustment is complete.
  • Finally, replace the front panel, re-fit, and retighten all screws securing the front panel to the chassis and top panel.
