10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 3 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 180 days (terms apply after 30 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Precision mixing with motorised faders

The FaderPort 16 features 16 touch-sensitive, 100 mm motorised faders that provide a highly responsive mixing experience. Whether you're adjusting track levels, writing automation, or fine-tuning effects, these faders respond accurately to every touch, making precise adjustments easy. Each fader automatically updates to reflect changes in your DAW, ensuring a seamless workflow without manual repositioning.

Unlike traditional mouse-based mixing, these faders allow you to focus on the feel of your mix, offering a more tactile and intuitive approach. The touch-sensitivity ensures that adjustments are only made when you intend to, avoiding accidental changes and giving you full control over every mix element.

The faders can also be used to control various parameters beyond volume, such as pan positions, plug-in settings, and auxiliary send levels. This flexibility allows for deeper interaction with your session, making the FaderPort 16 a valuable addition to any studio setup.

Clear visual feedback with scribble strips

Staying organised during a session is crucial, and the FaderPort 16 helps with its high-resolution scribble strip displays above each fader. These displays show essential information, such as track names, volume levels, and automation modes, allowing you to see the status of each track at a glance.

The scribble strips update automatically based on your DAW’s settings, ensuring that you always have accurate information in front of you. This feature reduces the need to constantly reference your computer screen, allowing for a more immersive and efficient workflow. Additionally, the display provides clear feedback even in low-light environments, making it suitable for live performance setups or dimly lit studios.

Streamlined workflow with transport controls

The FaderPort 16 is equipped with a full set of transport controls, including play, stop, record, fast forward, and rewind buttons. These controls allow you to navigate through your session effortlessly, reducing your dependence on keyboard shortcuts and mouse clicks.

For even greater efficiency, the loop function lets you quickly set playback loops, perfect for reviewing sections of your mix or tracking multiple takes. The dedicated transport buttons are conveniently placed for quick access, keeping your workflow fast and fluid.

Comprehensive session navigation

With the unique Session Navigator, the FaderPort 16 offers quick control over essential DAW functions. The large rotary encoder allows you to scroll through tracks, manage channel banking, and adjust timeline positions effortlessly. Dedicated buttons for functions like track scrolling, timeline navigation, and marker placement provide a streamlined approach to session management. You can easily switch between different tracks or move through your project with minimal effort. The Session Navigator also includes options for controlling zoom levels, toggling between views, and managing markers, giving you complete command over your session without reaching for a mouse.

Seamless DAW integration

The FaderPort 16 is designed to work with a wide range of digital audio workstations, supporting both Mackie Control Universal and HUI protocols. This ensures compatibility with industry-leading software such as Studio One, Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, and more.

For Studio One users, the FaderPort 16 provides deep integration, offering additional control options and an enhanced workflow experience tailored to PreSonus’ software. However, its universal compatibility makes it a versatile tool for any studio environment. The device connects via USB 2.0, providing a fast and reliable connection with both macOS and Windows computers. No additional drivers are required, making the setup process quick and straightforward.

Durable and ergonomic design

Built with durability in mind, the FaderPort 16 features a sturdy construction that can withstand the demands of both studio and live environments. The ergonomic layout ensures that controls are within easy reach, allowing for a comfortable and efficient workflow.

Rubberised buttons and precision-placed controls provide a satisfying tactile experience, making long mixing sessions more enjoyable. The compact form factor ensures that it fits comfortably into any studio setup without taking up too much space.
