Penny and Giles for D-Command
Does anybody know if the Penny and Giles faders used on the D-Control work on the D-Command? The D-Command was designed with Alps faders but the D-Control uses Penny and Giles faders and they're suppose to be a bit better.
thx |

Re: Penny and Giles for D-Command
I know they're Alps but do the Penny and Giles faders from the D-Control work in the D-Command. I have the carbon replacement faders. They suck! I've had problems from day 1. I luv the board, it's just these faders. I've tried everything ever posted about non responsive faders. Nothing, NOTHING has worked.

Re: Penny and Giles for D-Command
Have you ever got your unit check, it may be that there's an actual mechanical problem with your D-Command

Re: Penny and Giles for D-Command
Yes. The fader problems are intermittent. After cycling some of them work fine for a few hours then revert right back to not responding. Never do all of them work at the same time. When I pull them apart and clean them, which takes a couple of hours, most will improve for a day or two. Then they will stop responding again. I'm convinced the Alps faders just plain suck. I'm very meticulous and keep the studio fairly dust free. I cover the board EVERY night. I'm looking for a replacement fader that isn't 200.00 a shot.

Re: Penny and Giles for D-Command
It's more than just the fader, the firmware has to be programed for it, that's why you can't mix the original plastic and the updated carbon faders in the same module. Any other fader is not in the firmware.
Given that all the Venue and all D-Coms I know that have switched to the carbon Alps aren't having this problem points to a problem in you location. how is your power and ground
