Replaceable Components (Faders, Crossfader); Routing To External Effects Units - Ecler HAK380 Manual De Instrucciones

By disabling this function, the following happens:
- The headphones signal will be the one selected with the FX/PGM/PFL switch.
- The VU-meters will read the signal selected with the FX/PGM/PFL switch.
- Moving the crossfader will not affect the MIX signal until this is returned to the same top on which it
"unhooked" from the MIX signal. Until this moment, the LED (37) lightens up orange and once the
proper top has been reached, the crossfader gets "hooked" to the MIX signal and the LED turns off.

4.9. Replaceable components (Faders, Crossfader)

The HAK has an internal modular structure where the main electromechanical pieces (the two
main faders and the crossfader) have been mounted so that they are easy to replace. All these
components use multipin connectors and can be replaced just with a screwdriver.
With every HAK380 unit, an additional resistive ECLER Long Life VCA crossfader is provided,
that can replace the ETERNAL crossfader, if the user requires a more "conventional" touch. If the
replacement is made, it is not possible to adjust the CUT IN TIME (57) to values as near to zero as it is
possible with the ETERNAL crossfader.
In order to replace any of the elements, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the fader buttons from the HAKs silver-plated surface.
2. Unscrew the external screws that fix the cover that protects the faders.
3. Remove it from its fitting hole.
4. Remove the screws which correspond to the element you wish to exchange.
5. Unplug the multipin connectors.
6. Replace it with an equal one, respecting the original orientation.
7. Plug in the multipin that you unplugged in step 5.
8. Gently put the front panel back in its place.
9. Screw it tight.
10. Place the faders' buttons on their original position.
ATTENTION: Always use original ECLER GENUINE SPARE PARTS for your HAK380.

4.10. Routing to external effects units

The two mixable channels on the HAK380 have a post-fader output signal for effects SEND (14)
which allows to send the signal to an external effects unit (e.g. reverb, sampler, ...).
The SEND output (14) has to be connected to the input of the stereo effects unit and its output
has to be connected to the RETURN input (15). The RETURN input is controlled by the FX RETURN
switch (42) and its operation is advised by the ON led (43). The DRY-WET fader (44) allows to vary the
proportion between the original signal and the one that returns from the effects unit.
The pre-listening is done with the MONITOR switch (35), which allows monitoring the effects and
the mix done by the DRY WET control, before pressing the FX RETURN to send these signals to the
main outputs.
