Metall Potentiometer
Explanation:
Hi!
Of course it is not the correct translation if you refer to the meaning of slide rails but this topic is my hobby and I think I never heard "Gleitschienen" before. Therefore I suggest to use Metall Potentiometer as it is much more common. In the references I put two links where you can see how my suggestion is used. I think the whole website www.elevator.de will be able to help you with translations concerning sound equipment. Bye

agree  Ingeborg Gowans: I guess because it is a "Mischpult" it is vaguely related to socalled music
