Allen & Heath are one of the most respected brands within the industry, you now have the chance to own one of these beauties ( albeit virtually!) for a fraction of the price :)
Please have a look at my associated You Tube Video ( Rendered in 2.80 with EEVEE)

They are constrained to their Minimum and Maximum limits and also ensure correct orientation to the main Console. Please view the Matcap images provided which show which faders the `emptys` control.
