remove the slider assembly (C), ensuring that the wiper contacts (D) are  
not damaged as this will affect the operation of the fader. Clean the slid -

using a tissue or cotton bud. If slider bearing are exessively worn, as indi-  
cated by exessive slider rocking then contact Stanton for replacement.

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.  
2
. 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.

Cleaning a Penny & Giles 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 -  
tion.) See Figure 4.

TOP PANEL  
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  
todays 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.

Just as it's predecessor started a movement in contactless fader designs, the  
Focus Fader V2 Digital Optical Fader will continue to push the envelope. No more  
bleeding, no more static, no more wasted time, just hours of practice enjoyment  
and flawless performance.

The Focus Fader V2 is highly advanced and opens many doors for innovations in  
DJ equipment technology. Fitted with an array of optic sensors and microproces -  
sor controlled to eliminate the need for contacts or graphite material. V2 is as pure  
as the sun rays. It will outlast any standard graphite or conductive plastic fader on  
the market. This is why the it has a limited lifetime warranty (see warranty infor -

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 artists 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

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  
ON/OFF switch. The selected button  
will flash to show it is selected, and it  
will light up once the foot pedal is  
pressed to show the effect has been

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.

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.
