FOXFADE gives you more control of your FOXPRO Fury GX7 or Prairie Blaster! You can fade the volume of your front and back speakers with the TX-500 remote control. Add more realism and control with FOXFADE technology!

Let's say that we are operating with sound Z07, coyote & rabbit. The coyote will play through the front while the rabbit plays through the rear. To engage FOXFADE, you simply press the FOXFADE button on the TX-500. You will see a selector bar appear in the middle of the screen (see image below).

This lets you know that the audio is currently balanced or centered. If you rotate the rotary selector knob clockwise, you will see the selector bar move to the left or rear position. Let's say you moved the bar halfway between center and rear (see image below).

The next thing to do is press down on the selector knob a single time. You will notice that the sound of the coyote in the front speaker has been reduced in volume while the volume of the rabbit has stayed the same. By moving the bar the entire way to the left and pressing down on the knob (see below), you will have completely eliminated the coyote from playing.

If you reverse this process and move the bar the other direction towards the right or front and press down on the knob, the coyote will come back in while the rabbit sound begins to fade out. You can quickly see how this allows you to virtually play two sounds at once.

Your FOXPRO Fury and Prairie Blaster have three main modes of operation-stereo, mono, and reverse stereo. When you are operating a stereo sound in stereo mode, you get the stereo routing or one sound to the front and one sound to back. If you are playing a mono sound in stereo mode, both front and back speakers will receive the same audio signal. If you play a stereo sound in mono mode, both front and back speakers will receive the same exact audio signal. FOXFADE will still allow for operation with mono sounds. Remember, however, you have a single audio channel. When you are moving the selector bar and making changes, the speakers are still affected but the sounds are merged to a single channel so the same sound emanates from both speakers.

So now we understand how FOXFADE works, but how does this give you an advantage in the field?

Consider the added realism you can produce in your stand by giving the illusion of two animals in the same location. A lot of predator callers have taken to the field and play the sound of a coyote or the sound of a rabbit, but not many have been able to play both of those sounds at the same time. Even fewer people have been able to control the volume of those two sounds independently-and that is what FOXFADE does.

Say you are calling an area that provides a home to a pack of coyotes. Coyotes are territorial creatures. If you are out there playing the sound of a coyote attacking a rabbit, they may instinctively come to the call to find out what's going on and who is eating their dinner. By manipulating the front and back speakers through FOXFADE, you can increase or decrease the intensity of a scenario that you are creating in the field. Instead of using a coyote & rabbit combination, you could use a whitetail doe & fawn combination.
