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 per­formed 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.
