The 560s are the vintage "Hen's Teeth" version with the original long-throw faders and 2520. .... Those original faders haven't been manufactured for decades, so all the subsequent API 560s; As, Bs, Reissues, etc, have short-throw faders which have less subtlety. |

The faders adjust left to right. |

I associate "long throw" faders with consoles with long faders. |

"Log taper", "long fader"... Hmmm, maybe I, or someone else, simply heard it wrong back in yore, and I've been saying it wrong all these years? Could be. I'm sure you're correct; the old 560 faders should be called Log Taper faders and the new ones are Linear Taper. As for the cleaning spray; I have a can of "CAIG DeoxIT D5" which I've been warned not to use on my 560s under penalty of being beaten to death with a wet noodle! DeoxIT is certainly a miracle substance which I used to use regularly and generously on practically everything else, 550As, patchbays, etc, but never the 560 faders. The Electrodyne/Sphere faders are very different, BTW. They're stepped, aren't they? Lovely desk, BTW! Cheers, Rick. |
