The Fairlight Console Channel Fader brings full mixing and automation control to a Fairlight console, with 12 touch sensitive motorised faders, pan knobs, tally buttons and an LCD display for each channel. Automation controls and bank buttons map tracks and buses onto the faders, so large sessions stay within reach of one panel.

The faders are sculpted and weighted for comfort, with smooth gliding, high precision motors that give the sensitivity and feedback the most sophisticated mixing sessions demand. Touch sensitivity means the surface knows when a hand is on a fader, which is what makes accurate automation writing possible.

Each channel strip also carries an LED display for track status along with mute, solo, call and automation buttons, plus a customisable soft knob for panning. Multiple panels populate a console chassis alongside the Fairlight Console Channel Control and LCD Monitor to build a full mixing surface, 12 channels per bay.

Connection is over 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet, with USB-C for configuration and software updates through the Fairlight Studio and Console setup utility. Power comes from an internal 100-240V AC 50/60Hz supply with an IEC C14 mains input, drawing a maximum of 20W, with an operating range of 0° to 40°C.
