Question

Mackie X32s are notorious for fader slip and automation failing in cold temps

Yamaha LS9 moving faders also have reliability problems

Plan to use cs18ai and RM32 for live... Moving around every show..60 or more shows per year; many are outdoor venues.

Answer 1

We’ve run the faders on the CS18Ai continuously for over 10,000 hours in our reliability tests and also worked to customize some parts of the fader (it’s not an off-the-shelf fader) such as the belt and guides to ensure long-term reliable performance.
