Submasters and Channel Faders
Submaster faders let you manually fade in a lighting state, called a submaster, which can have both
intensity and attribute levels with an associated fade time.
Note: Although the terms are often used interchangeably, a submaster is different from a submaster
fader. A submaster fader is the physical device on which you play a submaster. Since there are 6
submaster pages for 500 Series consoles and 5 pages for 300 Series consoles, there are actually 6
and 5 submasters for each fader, respectively.

features described in this section of the manual.. You can also use the submasters as channel faders
as described in One and Two Scene Preset mode.
300 series consoles are designed on a modular basis. The basic 300 series building block comprises
an external 'processor' unit, a command module and a 24-way fader module configured as
submasters. Additional fader panels can be physically and electronically coupled to the basic unit to
provide additional channel faders for use with one and two-scene preset.
Note: If you add or subtract fader panels from a 300 Series console, you must reconfigure the
