Infinity Fader The First truly Optical Fader The Infinity Fader is a Numark Industries worldwide patented design and completely changes the way audio mixers work The Infinity Fader is the world s first truly 10096 optical fader Previous concepts have always required a stiff shaft to pull electrical contacts along a circuit board Though these variable resistive faders have been used for many years there have always been some basic drawbacks with the design Because the fader has to drag contacts along a circuit boards the fader has significant drag in its motion This design also breaks down over time and can require the fader be replaced on a regular basis if the fader is used for scratching The Infinity Fader solves both problems by removing the path of resistance by contact It incorporates an LED photo sensor and a blocking fader shaft The LED transmits light to the photo sensor Between these two parts is a blocking LED PHOTO fader shaft that travels on a track of the m EY SENSOR smoothest steel ball bearings This steel fader shaft changes the amount of light it blocks as it moves across the path of the LED The more the blocking fader moves in front of the LED the amount of light received by the photo sensor is reduced This BALL information is then translated into various levels of BEARINGS gain control within the mixer The fader shaft itself has no audio or electrical parts attached to it to wear LED ou
