 **On this wiki page we are going to explain what steps to take to connect the Fader start (GPO) of your mixer to a CD Player, Turntable or other player.**\\
+\\
 **The fader start is called GPO which stands for General Purpose Output in this explanation!**\\
+\\
+\\
+First you'll need to know what kind of start signal your equipment needs.\\
+This depends on the type and brand of the equipment.\\
+Some equipment offer the option to change this in the setup of the unit.\\
+The manual of your equipment or the supplier/manufacturer can explain what type of start signal is needed.\\
+\\
+This can defer from a continous on, a continious off, a short pulse signal to start, a short pulse to start and a second to stop.\\
+The equipment will give a positive or negative voltage on one the connections and possibly a ground.\\
+(Some brands use a brand specific analog/digital signal and this can't be provided by our mixers!)\\
+\\
+The other difference can occur in the connections.\\
+Most equipments use a small stereo jack connector or connection cable to connect to their own brand mixer,\\
+With connection options between Tip and Sleeve, Tip and Ring Tip and Sleeve, Ring and Sleeve or a combination for start and stop.\\
+\\

+\\
+A simple way to test in which way your equipment Starts and/or Stops is to take a metal tweezer or plier and first shortly connect each of the options above.\\
+\\
+If you found a connection that starts your equipment and it keeps playing write down this option and test if it stops when the same action is done or find the other connection.\\
+This options are the Pulse start and or stop.\\
+\\
+When your equipment hits play for a short moment you'll have to test and connect this option for a longer period.\\
+This option will be the Continous start and stop.\\
+\\

+\\
+**Now your information translated to our mixers.**\\
+\\
 **Our mixers provide a Potential free switch contact at their GPO**\\
+\\
 Our newer mixers can only provide a contact between the Tip and Ring of the GPO Jack due to the use of an Opto Coupler.\\

+\\
+In older mixers the GPO are a Changeover switch with a Make contact between Tip and Ring and a brake contact between Tip and Sleeve.\\
+{{ :faderstartinstr:connector_old_type.png?direct |}}
+\\
+In most situations a cable has to be soldered with the original lead at your equipments side and a stereo jack at the mixer's side.\\
