Replacing the Faders
The faders on a DJ mixer are heavily used and can suffer considerable wear and tear. The audio
design using VCAs prevents clicks and scratchiness as the fader wears. However, the movement can
become mechanically stiff or sloppy in time, or become ingrained with dirt. Should this be the case the
fader may need replacement. The XONE:02 channel faders and crossfader are removable and can
easily be replaced in a few minutes. There are two versions available, the standard type and the higher
grade Penny & Giles type. Make sure you order the correct version from your Allen & Heath dealer.
Before you start make sure you turn off the console and disconnect the mains power cord. The
top plate must not be removed with power applied.
First prize off the fader knobs. Next, use a small cross-point (Pozidriv) screwdriver to undo and remove
the 8 top plate screws. Lift the plate off to gain access to the fader assemblies. While supporting the
fader with your fingers through the top opening unscrew the two fader mounting screws. Remove the
fader assembly out of the console being careful not to damage any internal components. Unplug the
cable from the old fader and plug in the new assembly. Check that the connector is correctly aligned
and pushed on. Replace the assembly making sure the cable faces the front or left side of the console.
Holding the new fader in position refit the mounting screws. Replace the top plate and fit the fader
knobs.
Make sure you replace the assembly with the correct fader type.
Repositioning the Transform Switches
The CH1 and CH2 TRANSFORM toggle switches can be repositioned to reverse their operation or
rotate them to operate sideways.
Disconnect power and remove the console top plate as described above. Support the toggle switch
with your fingers through the access hole while removing the switch mounting screws. Rotate the
switch assembly into the new position required. Refit the screws into the appropriate holes. Replace
the top panel.
