Operational data
Channel faders Two faders for each channel, mounted one above the other as two presets. Each preset of channel faders is under the control of a separate master fader.
Master faders Two master faders mounted adjacent and in opposition so that a dipless crossfade is per-formed by moving both faders in tandem. If the master faders are set at opposite ends of their scales, the LX will either mix both presets (both at 10) or blackout (both at 0).
Timed fades If the time fader is set to a time from 1 second to 5 minutes, the crossfade will complete in the time set after the master faders move to the other end of the scale.
Flash effects A flash master fader sets the maximum level for any channel when its flash button is pressed. If the flash master is set to zero, the flash buttons are disabled.
Displays LED indicators for ‘A’ & ‘B’ faders to show active preset, channel indicators to show active channels, manual level selected indicator, and blackout active indicator.
Blackout When the blackout button is pressed, the LED lights, and all channels are set to zero. Pressing the blackout button again extinguishes the LED and resets the channels to their previous levels. If power is disconnected to the LX while blackout is active, the desk will retain the blackout condition if power is resumed within a 5 minute period.
