([manualmachine.com](https://manualmachine.com/soundcraft/spiritstudio/1262677-user-manual/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Group Faders (Subgroup Masters)\n\n| Specification | Detail |\n|---|---|\n| **Number of Groups** | 8 groups (for routing channels into sub-groups or feeding tape sends/other outputs) ([manualmachine.com](https://manualmachine.com/soundcraft/spiritstudio/1262677-user-manual/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Fader Type** | Long-throw master faders for each group (designed for smooth and precise control) ([manualzz.com](https://manualzz.com/doc/2102298/soundcraft-spirit-studio-audio-mixer-user-guide?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Unity Gain Position** | At the top of travel (0 dB mark). Below that fader position attenuates, above gives gain, unless exceptions or design specifics note otherwise. ([manualzz.com](https://manualzz.com/doc/2102298/soundcraft-spirit-studio-audio-mixer-user-guide?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Routing Options** | Each channel can be routed to any of the 8 groups. The groups can then be routed to the stereo mix or combined in mono mode. ([manualzz.com](https://manualzz.com/doc/2102298/soundcraft-spirit-studio-audio-mixer-user-guide?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **PFL (Pre-Fader Listen)** | There\u2019s a PFL switch per group. When pressed, you monitor the pre-fader signal for that group (via control room/headphones). Also has a PFL/AFL LED indicator for metering. ([manualmachine.com](https://manualmachine.com/soundcraft/spiritstudio/1262677-user-manual/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Output Type** | Group outputs are sent via ground-compensated amplifiers to standard \u00bc\u2033 (1/4-inch) 3-pole \u201cA\u201d gauge jack sockets. ([manualzz.com](https://manualzz.com/doc/2102298/soundcraft-spirit-studio-audio-mixer-user-guide?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Inserts** | Each group has an insert point: \u00bc\u2033 jack sockets, bypassed when no plug is inserted. These let you apply external processing (EQ, compression, etc.) to the whole group. ([manualmachine.com](https://manualmachine.com/soundcraft/spiritstudio/1262677-user-manual/?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can also pull up specs like headroom, signal-to-noise ratio, frequency response *through* the group path, or details for the fader travel (millimeter length, taper) \u2014 just say the word."

        "content": "Here\u2019s what I could find on the replacement specs for the **group (subgroup master) faders** on the Soundcraft Spirit Studio mixer \u2014 especially if you\u2019re planning to source parts or repair them. Some details are scarce or based on user findings, so I\u2019ve noted what is definite vs. what needs verification.\n\n---\n\n## Known & Confident Specs\n\nThese are confirmed by the official Spirit Studio manual and user-restoration accounts:\n\n- The group faders are **long-throw** types, with unity gain at the top of their travel. ([manualmachine.com](https://manualmachine.com/soundcraft/spiritstudio/1262677-user-manual/?utm_source=openai))  \n- They output via **ground-compensated amplifiers** into \u00bc-inch (1/4\") 3-pole \u201cA\u201d gauge jack sockets for their outputs. ([manualzz.com](https://manualzz.com/doc/2102298/soundcraft-spirit-studio-audio-mixer-user-guide?utm_source=openai))  \n- The group inserts use \u00bc-inch 3-pole \u201cA\u201d gauge jack socket inserts, bypassed unless a plug is inserted. ([manualzz.com](https://manualzz.com/doc/2102298/soundcraft-spirit-studio-audio-mixer-user-guide?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Participation in a Repair / Replacement Discussion\n\nFrom user-forums (restoration / DIY):\n\n- The **master stereo fader** for Spirit Studio 24 has been referred to with **part number \u201cDD0367\u201d**. ([homerecording.com](https://homerecording.com/bbs/threads/replacing-faders-on-a-soundcraft-spirit-studio-24.348636/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Replacement \u201cnew T-bar style\u201d master fader part is listed as **DD0363** in that same thread. ([homerecording.com](https://homerecording.com/bbs/threads/replacing-faders-on-a-soundcraft-spirit-studio-24.348636/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Someone recalled the faders are **100 mm throw** faders. ([homerecording.com](https://homerecording.com/bbs/threads/replacing-faders-on-a-soundcraft-spirit-studio-24.348636/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Items Requiring Confirmation or Measuring\n\nThese are details you likely need to double-check if ordering parts:\n\n- Resistance (e.g. 10 k\u03a9, 25 k\u03a9, etc.) of the faders \u2014 specs aren't clearly documented in official sources for group fader value.  \n- Pin configuration / connector type \u2014 whether the fader is PCB mounted or has wires (many user mentions suggest soldered wires) ([github.com](https://github.com/dialtr/soundcraft-spirit-studio?utm_source=openai))  \n- Physical dimensions: height, mounting dimensions, slider cap shape / knob, throw pattern.  \n- Travel length (though 100 mm is likely, but best verified by measuring your fader) ([homerecording.com](https://homerecording.com/bbs/threads/replacing-faders-on-a-soundcraft-spirit-studio-24.348636/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Suggested Spec for Replacement Search\n\nHere\u2019s a checklist to bring when sourcing a replacement so you get the right part:\n\n| Spec | Suggestion / Target |\n|---|---|\n| Physical slider length (throw) | ~100 mm long-throw fader |\n| Potentiometer taper | Logarithmic (or linear, depending on behavior \u2014 manual says simply \u201clong-throw master fader\u201d so likely linear) |\n| Resistance value | Measure the old one (often 10 k\u03a9-50 k\u03a9) |\n| Number of pins / connection method | Likely **3 pins or wires**, soldered to PCB or via wiring harness |\n| Mounting style | PCB-mount or panel-mount style with correct housing/proportions |\n| Output type | Mono fader (for group) feeding into the group amplifier path |\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can try pulling the exact resistance and part numbers for *each* group fader (1 through 8) from official parts catalogues, so you have precise matches. Do you want those?"

If not, a photo helps.\n  - The **resistance value** (often printed on the existing fader: e.g. 10 k\u03a9, 25 k\u03a9).\n  - Length of travel (throw) and whether it's long-travel (~100 mm typical)\n  - Connection type (pins, solder leads, etc.)\n  - Physical dimensions (slider height, housing width) to ensure fitting.\n\n- Ask if they have **original** vs **compatible replacements**.\n\n- If they're unable to source the exact type, consider AV parts catalogues that deal in Alps faders (ALPS makes many high-precision linear potentiometers/faders).\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can check specific shops in Ireland (in Dublin, Cork, etc.) for stock on exactly DD0367-type faders and send you links. Do you want me to look up those for **Ireland** specifically?"
