Determining your Fader Wing type
| Universal Fader Wings are shaped like a classic Ion console They come in Ion black or Congo blue/purple They exist in 2x10 or 2x20 fader variants Versions with both locking and non-locking connectors have been produced. Please check your Wing to determine which PSU you need to order. Although the locking and non-locking PSUs are electrically compatible, using the wrong one will create a poor connection The 1x20 variant that sits on top of an Ion console does not need an external PSU |
