(NOTE: As noted earlier if you do not want to change positioning of fader, keep the 2 fader plate screws loose and shift the fader until it is aligned with the marks you created in step 1, then tighten fader plate screws. ) REPLACING THE FADER: 1. Once the fader has been removed, simply plug the connector into the new fader. Place fader back in mixer and replace 2 outer screws to secure fader. R O TAT I N G T H E O S 2 S W I T C H E S The optical scratch switches (OS2) on the Stanton SA-5 mixer can be rotated to 8 different positions.

Session Level control: Controls the input level of the session or mic input, depending on setting of session/ Mic switch (27). The sensitivity of the gain faders is adjusted by the phono trim (25) knob on the back of the mixer. Master Volume control: Controls the overall signal output level of the mixer. The sensitivity of this fader is controlled by the master trim knob (21). Line Fader Reverse: Reverses the direction of each respective line fader. When switched down, the channel will be at full volume when the fader is down. The volume will decrease as the fader is moved upward. 3. REPLACING THE OS2: 1. 2. 5. FADER CLEANING AND REPLACEMENT After constant scratching, the SA-5 faders may need to be cleaned and lubricated 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 the back of the mixer. To remove the lower faceplate, take off all the fader knobs and then remove the 4 screws located on the sides of the mixer (2 on each side). 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). Disconnect the fader from the mixer by removing the connector on the bottom of the fader. [. . . ] REC: The record output is not affected by the Master volume control. It can be used to record to a computer, CD, MD, & tape recorder, even while the master volume is turned down. Ground connector: Connects to the turntable ground connector to eliminate electrical hum. Some newer turntables such as the Stanton STR8-150 do not require a ground cable because they are grounded internally. Session Input: This extra line level input is controlled by the session level fader (1) when the Session/Mic switch (27) is switched to session (the up position). [. . . ]
