Blackmagic Design | Fairlight Console Channel Fader

The Blackmagic Design Fairlight Console Channel Fader features a familiar mixer design with 12 motorised faders per module, rotary control knobs and illuminated buttons. The sculpted, high quality faders are extremely smooth to move and provide the perfect amount of resistance, allowing you to make subtle adjustments. Fairlight Console Channel Fader controls include pan, solo, mute, and call buttons. Each channel strip has an integrated LCD above the channel to display the most important channel information. Fader modules can control up to 144 channels at a time using bank select buttons and you can install multiple fader modules in a 5 bay console. That gives you direct access to more than 500 channels!

 

Channel Status Displays

The integrated high resolution LCD screens located above each fader strip let you see track colour, name and number, along with pan status, level meters and more. This information correlates directly with the track headers and mixer in the software.

 

Multifunction Pan Knob

The multifunction pan knob features control tap to reset functionality and can be used for panning or assigned to control other parameters. The pan knob is rotary encoder based, which means it won’t introduce unwanted noise like mechanical knobs.

 

Channel Strip Controls

Each channel strip has dedicated solo and mute buttons to quickly isolate or temporarily turn tracks off. Call buttons can be used to load track parameters, set up fader banks, and spill bus tracks to adjoining faders. Auto buttons enable automation.

 

Motorised Faders

Twelve belt driven 100mm motorized faders offer precision volume control. Bank control buttons switch and control 12 banks of 12 faders plus an additional 12 banks of user defined channels. Assigned faders can also adjust send and record levels.

 

Bank Control Buttons

The six bank and control buttons on the left side of the panel let you quickly switch your faders to work on 12 different sets of sequentially mapped channels. You can also manually map an additional 12 banks of channel faders for each fader panel.

 

Easy Connectivity

The 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet port allows simple integration with your DaVinci Resolve 17 system. Additionally, a USB Type-C port is provided for software configuration (via Fairlight Studio and Console setup utility) and software updates.

 

Convenient Software Upgrades

The Fairlight Console Channel Fader utilises an internal software upgrade function via an updater application.
