        "content": "Here\u2019s a round-up of what turned up in my search for a **master fader** for a *Soundcraft Spirit Studio 16\u00b78\u00b72*. I couldn\u2019t find anything conclusive for an exact match, but I\u2019ve collected some options, tips, and sources you might find useful. If you send me some specs or pictures of your fader, I may be able to help more precisely.\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd0d What I Found: Ads & Parts\n\n1. **Audiotest (Spain) \u2014 \u201cFader Master\u201d for Spirit Studio / Signature 12**  \n   They list a \u201cfader master Soundcraft para Spirit Studio\u201d under replacement parts. ([audiotestserviciotecnico.com](https://www.audiotestserviciotecnico.com/etiqueta-producto/fader-master-soundcraft-para-spirit-studio/?utm_source=openai))  \n   Also see \u201cFader master Soundcraft para signature 12 \u2014 10KAx2\u201d for about **\u20ac3**. Not super specific about left-vs-right mix, but the \"10K AX2\" designation appears relevant. ([audiotestserviciotecnico.com](https://www.audiotestserviciotecnico.com/tienda/fader-master-soundcraft-para-signature-12/?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Craigslist \u2014 Full Spirit Studio Console for Sale ($550)**  \n   A working 16\u00b78\u00b72 mixer was listed in Seattle in December 2025. If you're okay with sourcing the master fader by gravitation (i.e. getting the whole board), this might be an option. ([seattle.craigslist.org](https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/ele/d/seattle-soundcraft-spirit-studio-analog/7905748745.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **Soundcraft / Spirit Studio Parts Listings**  \n   - The **Spirit Studio manual** confirms the mixer uses long-throw linear master faders for the Stereo Mix outputs. ([soundcraft.com](https://www.soundcraft.com/en-US/product_documents/spirit-studio-user-guide-pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n   - A GitHub restoration project shows the **master section PCB included with master faders**, and the community is replacing/servicing faders, but doesn\u2019t list current stock sources. ([github.com](https://github.com/dialtr/soundcraft-spirit-studio?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## \u2699\ufe0f What to Look For When Replacing\n\nTo get the right master fader, you\u2019ll want to confirm:\n\n- **Resistance / taper**: The manual and forum threads suggest faders labeled **10KAx2**. \u201c10K\u201d means 10 kilo-ohms; the \u201cAx2\u201d might indicate stereo/dual track. ([homerecording.com](https://homerecording.com/bbs/threads/replacing-faders-on-a-soundcraft-spirit-studio-24.348636/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Style & throw**: Long-throw linear masters (as per the Spirit Studio specs). ([soundcraft.com](https://www.soundcraft.com/en-US/product_documents/spirit-studio-user-guide-pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Form factor**: You\u2019ll need the correct shaft style (straight-shaft vs T-bar), mounting style, wiring or solder connections.\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\uded2 Suggestions\n\nGiven what I found, here are possible paths:\n\n- Reach out to **Audiotest Spain** and see if the \u201c10KAx2\u201d fader fits. Ask for pictures or datasheets. ([audiotestserviciotecnico.com](https://www.audiotestserviciotecnico.com/etiqueta-producto/fader-master-soundcraft-para-spirit-studio/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Try to find a used Spirit Studio console to harvest its master fader\u2014Craigslist and thrift / used-gear forums are decent bets.  \n- Look up **ALPS 10K AX2 long-throw faders** (studio-quality linear potentiometers). Measure your existing master fader and compare.\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can try to find *US-based* sellers now\u2014might speed up getting the part. Do you want me to?"
