About the Midas PRO FADER (200 MM) Set of 5 High-Endurance, Touch-Sensitive 100 mm Motorised Faders (200 mm Cable)
The Midas PRO FADER set is a collection of high-endurance, touch-sensitive motorized faders designed as replacement parts for the Midas PRO Series digital mixing consoles, including models such as the PRO1, PRO2, PRO3, PRO6, and PRO9. These faders are critical components that directly impact the tactile feel and precision control of the console's mixing surface, replicating the smooth, weighted operation associated with high-end analog consoles. Each fader in the set is engineered for longevity and reliability, capable of withstanding millions of cycles—a necessity in professional touring and installation environments where consoles are used intensively daily. The 200mm travel length provides a wide, intuitive throw for precise level adjustments and detailed automation moves.
These faders incorporate advanced motorization and touch-sensitive technology. The motor allows for automatic movement, enabling the fader to recall snapshot positions instantly, follow recorded automation, or reset to a defined start point. The touch-sensitive strip detects the presence of an operator's finger, allowing the console's automation system to intelligently switch between read and write modes, preventing unintended overwrites. The included 200mm cable provides the necessary electrical connection to the console's internal motherboard, ensuring a secure and reliable interface. This set of five faders allows technicians to replace worn or faulty channels, restoring the console's mixing surface to optimal performance.
Installation of these faders is a precise but standardized procedure for qualified technicians. Replacing a fader typically involves removing the console's top panel, carefully extracting the old fader module from its socket, and inserting the new unit, ensuring the cable is correctly routed and connected. Using genuine Midas replacement parts like this set ensures perfect compatibility, maintaining the console's original sonic integrity and control response. For engineers and rental companies relying on Midas PRO consoles, having such spares on hand is essential for minimizing downtime and maintaining the high standard of performance these professional mixing systems are known for.
