PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS PRINTED BELOW MAY VOID WARRANTY
• Follow all security advice printed on your mixer
• When removing the unit's AC plug from the power source, grasp and pull
the plug, NEVER the cord itself!
• Avoid placing your mixer near heat sources, such as power amplifiers.
• When in use, place your mixer on a stable surface, away from vibration.
Always use care when carrying your mixer. Impact, or heavy vibration may
compromise the unit's mechanical integrity. The manufacturer is not
responsible for damage resulting from an impact, or misuse.
• When in use, place your mixer away from sources of hum or noise, such as
transformers, or electric motors.
• To prevent overheating, always provide your mixer with adequate
ventilation air space.
• Avoid stepping on your mixer's AC cord. Repeated compression of the cord
may lead to electrical shorting.
• To avoid damage due to AC voltage peaks, always disconnect your mixer
from the power source during electrical storms. If possible connect mixer to
a surge protector.
• Your mixer contains no user-serviceable parts. The manufacturer is not
responsible for any damage or personal injury resulting from unauthorized
user-servicing or modifications. In addition, the warranty will be void if any
unauthorized service by the user is detected. Always return your mixer to
an authorized Stanton dealer for servicing.

SA.3 FEATURES
DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
TOP PANEL
1. Microphone level - Controls the attenuation level of the
microphone input. Use the microphone level adjustment to find
the right gain for your microphone, then use the microphone
mute button (3) to mute the input when not in use.
2. Microphone Mute LED - Indicates when microphone mute
button (3) has been engaged.
3. Microphone Mute - Mutes the microphone input.
4. Input Gains - Controls the input sensitivity level for each
channel. Use the input gain in conjunction with the LED meters
(19) to properly set the levels of your input.
5. Input Equalizers - Individual controls for high frequency,
mid-range, and low frequency equalization with 9db of boost and
25dB of kill. Note: Any changes made to EQ settings will change
the overall output level of that input.
6. Input Pan - Controls left / right output balance of each chan-
nel.
7. Cue Level - Controls the output level of the headphone amp.
8. Master / Cue Switch - Selects signal to be sent to head-
phone output. In “CUE” position, the cue pan fader (9) is used
to select which input channel is to be monitored. In “MASTER”
position the master output is sent directly to the headphones.
9. Cue pan fader - Fades the headphone output from input 1 to
input 2 when Master / Cue switch is in “Cue” mode.
10. Master Level - Controls the overall output level of the mas-
ter output.
11. Master Mute Indicator - LED indicates when Master Mute
switch (12) has been engaged.
12. Master Mute - Mutes the master output of the mixer. Use
the master mute in situations where you need to mute and
unmute the mixer without having to re-adjust your Master Level
(10) control.
13. Reverse Indicator - Bi-color (red & green) LED indicates
when fader’s direction has been reversed (green = normal, red =
reversed).
14. Reverse Button - Reverses the direction of the fade on the
corresponding fader.
15. Line fader Curve Control - Selects taper of upfader curve
between a fast cut, medium curve, and long fade.
16. Input Select - Toggle switch selects the input source
between the phono and line inputs located on the back of your
mixer.
MIXER FUNCTIONS
17. Power Indicator - Blue LED indicates when power has been
switched on.
18. Line Fader - The linefader controls the level of each chan-
nel to the master outputs.
19. Level Meter - LED meter indicates level of each channel.
The left LED meter is for channel 1. The right LED meter is for
channel 2. Use the Input Gain (4) to adjust the signal to 0dB
(yellow LED). The red LED on the meter indicates when the sig-
nal is close to clipping and distorting the output of the mixer.
20. Headphone Mute - Mutes the headphone output. This fea-
ture is very useful for quick cueing during mixing and scratch-
ing.
21. Headphone Mute Indicator - Indicates when Headphone
Mute (20) has been engaged.
22. Crossfader Reverse Indicator - Indicates when crossfader
reverse has been engaged.
23. Crossfader - The crossfader fades between channel 1 and
channel 2. The taper (curve) of the crossfader is determined by
the crossfader curve control (23). The direction of the curve is
determined by the crossfader reverse control (24).

REPLACING THE CROSSFADER
The SA.3 is compatible with the CFSA.3, Focus Faders V1/V2
and with Penny and Giles crossfaders. The SA.3 has two differ-
ent circuits which need to be switched when changing between
the faders. To switch the crossfader circuit, follow the instruc-
tions below:
1. Follow steps 1 & 2 from the fader cleaning instructions.
2. Remove the fader assembly and discon-
nect the cable coming from the mixer.
3. The crossfader select switch is located
inside the mixer, on the left side of the
fader slot. In order to use the CFSA.3, FF1
and Penny & Giles faders, make sure the
switch is pressed DOWN. To use the CFF2,
make sure the switch is in the UP position.
