After constant scratch use the SA-12 faders may need to be cleaned and lubri -
cated from time to time. This will ensure long life and keep a smooth feeling
throughout the fader's lifetime. Follow the instructions below to lubricate and
clean your faders:
Removing a fader
:
1. Make sure mixer is powered off and power supply is
disconnected from back of mixer.

. To remove the lower faceplate, take off the 3 fader
knobs and then remove the 4 screws located on
the sides of the mixer (2 on each side). See Figure
1. Lift up on the faceplate and it will slide off.
3. Remove the fader to be cleaned or replaced by
unscrewing the 2 outer screws on the fader plate
(removing the 2 inner screws will detach the fader
from the fader plate). See Figure 2.
4. Disconnect the fader from mixer by removing the 4-
pin connector on the bottom of the fader.
Replacing a fader
:
1. Once original fader has been removed, simply plug
the 4-pin connector into the new fader. NOTE: The
SA-12 comes with 2 connectors, one for P+G
faders and one for Focus Faders. Make sure you
plug in the correct fader with the correct connector.
See Figure 3.

2. Set selector switch to position of fader you are using
(P+G or Focus Fader). See Figure 3.
3. Place fader back in mixer and replace 2 outer
screws to secure fader.

1. Remove 2 mounting scews from faderplate. (NOTE:
The P&G fader is designed with floating mounting
threads for precise mechanical centralising of the
fader. If you desire to keep your fader`s current
mounting position we suggest that you make 2
marks on both ends of the fader on the fader plate
to indicate the P&G fader posi -

Improving on the original and world's first optical fader design that brought the
industry and art to a new plateau, the Focus Fader V2 is truly curve adjustable to
accommodate to any style of DJ artist. Created to meet the requirements of
today’s higher standards , if your style requires a smooth fade for long mixes or a
razor sharp cut-off for precise scratching, V2 is the answer.

and flawless performance.

OP TICAL S CRATCH S WITCH (OS 2)
Since the early days of DJing and Scratching the Phono/Line Switch had been an
integral part of an artist’s performance. In recent years the new techniques in
scratching have evolved to a point that surpassed the typical contact switch which
is too noisy to use in a performance. This led to the decline of its use. In any art
form the goal should be to move forward, the slow decline of the phono/line switch
use was a step backwards. Introducing the OS2.

the previous channel. When Ch1 and
Ch2 are pressed simultaneously, the

if the cue pan fader is centered, the

effect signal is sent to the master out - depends on the position of the cross -
put, and both (Ch1 & Ch2) buttons will
be lit. When connecting a foot pedal to
the remote output (31), the FX ON/OFF
buttons become assign switches and
the foot pedal becomes the actual

fader. In "MASTER" position, the signal
monitored will be pre-master volume
(post-faders), meaning the signal will
still be present in the headphone even
if the Master volume control is turned
down.
Just as the introduction of the Focus Fader V1 has changed the face of the DJ
world for the good of all, so will the OS2. The Benefits are the same as other opti -
cal devices, such as the Focus Fader.: 1. No more static, 2. No more bleeding, 3.
Lots of scratching fun.
14. Cue Level: Controls the head -
phone output level.
One Step Further: In addition to the sound benefits the OS2 also represents a
Stanton innovation in it's mechanical properties as well. It is the 1st phono/line
switch which uses a fader as the user interface. This will allow the same
hand/wrist movement to be executed when using the crossfader and OS2 which
in turn translates into efficiency in Scratching performance.

switched to 2/1 channel 1 will control
channel 2’s inputs, and vice versa.
The flat handle and soft slide action of the OS2 makes it easy to perform any exist -
ing techniques including the Crab Scratch. The small travel and slide motion will
be a positive tool in conditioning the hand/wrist movements to be more minute and
precise. In conclusion the OS2 is another step forward in the Evolution of the DJ
Culture and of course as always Scratching.
