Replacing the Crossfader

The crossfader on a DJ mixer is heavily used and can suffer considerable wear
and tear. The audio design using VCAs prevents clicks and scratchiness as the
fader wears. However, the movement can become mechanically stiff or sloppy
in time, or become ingrained with dirt and the fader may need replacement.

The

XONE:464 crossfader is removable and can easily be replaced in a few

minutes. The spare fader is supplied as a plug-in assembly which can be
ordered through your Allen & Heath dealer.

Note: There are two versions of crossfader assembly. These are not
interchangable. Make sure you order the correct version.

The original model uses the Alps crossfader assembly:

XONE:464 Crossfader Assembly

Part number XONE:XFADER

The revised model uses the Penny & Giles crossfader assembly :

XONE:464 Crossfader Assembly

Part number XONE2:XFADER

To replace either version of crossfader use a medium size cross-point (Pozidriv)
screwdriver to undo and remove the two outer screws on the crossfader plate.
Do not remove the inner screws.

Lift the crossfader assembly up and away from the console panel.

Unplug the cable from the old crossfader or circuit assembly (depending on
version) and plug on the new assembly. Check that the connector is correctly
aligned and seated.

Replace the assembly making sure the cable faces the left side of the console.
Refit the screws and test for correct operation.
