If \u201cLine\u201d input is selected, the range is reduced (about -20 dB from the mic setting) due to the \u201cLine swap\u201d switch. ([manualslib.com](https://www.manualslib.com/manual/164026/Soundcraft-Audio-Mixing-Console-Model-Spirit-Studio.html?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Metering & Controls\n\n- **Meters**: 16-segment LED bar-graph meters for Groups.

([manualsnet.com](https://manualsnet.com/soundcraft/spirit-studio?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can get the exact dimensions (HxWxD), power consumption, and any other specifics like filter specs or the jack types. Do you need those too?"

Unity gain is at the top of its travel. ([manualzz.com](https://manualzz.com/doc/2102298/soundcraft-spirit-studio-audio-mixer-user-guide?utm_source=openai))\n\nHere are a few extra details pulled from the manual:\n\n- The master section also includes **Mix B master fader**, which similarly controls the monitor or second mix output. ([manualzz.com](https://manualzz.com/doc/2102298/soundcraft-spirit-studio-audio-mixer-user-guide?utm_source=openai))  \n- The foldback (FB1 and FB2) is handled via **rotary master faders** rather than long-linear faders. ([manualsnet.com](https://manualsnet.com/soundcraft/spirit-studio?utm_source=openai))  \n\nIf you're curious about the brand (e.g. Alps) or the exact travel length (in mm), I can try to track that down too."

It\u2019s identified on original units with markings such as **\u201cALPS 10KAX2 208E\u201d**. ([homerecording.com](https://homerecording.com/bbs/threads/replacing-faders-on-a-soundcraft-spirit-studio-24.348636/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Soundcraft\u2019s part numbering system refers to the master fader separately\u2014one user noted that the master fader carries part number **DD0367**. ([homerecording.com](https://homerecording.com/bbs/threads/replacing-faders-on-a-soundcraft-spirit-studio-24.348636/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udccf Travel Length & Type\n\n- The Spirit series (which includes the Studio 24/8/2) uses **long-travel linear (logarithmic taper) faders with 100 mm travel**. This is true both for individual channel faders and the master fader. ([soundcraft.com](https://www.soundcraft.com/en-US/product_documents/multi-purpose-consoles-pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- Specifically, the master section includes a **long-travel stereo fader** controlling the main Mix output, plus another long-travel stereo fader for the Mix B (monitor/submix) output. ([manualzz.com](https://manualzz.com/doc/10379741/soundcraft-spirit-studio-lc-studio-mixer-user-guide?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can also pull up things like taper curves (linear vs logarithmic) for the master fader or availability of direct-replacement parts."
