The ProLinear DSP Front Panel
The display shows different combinations of text and
numbers depending on the parameter being edited. The
information displayed includes:
•
the Program number and Bank ( User or Preset ) of
the current EQ curve
•
the boost/cut amount for the selected EQ band
(
Gain ), and
•
the Channel to which the ProLinear DSP is
assigned.
Accompanying each value will be its unit of measurement,
when applicable ( Hz, kHz, or dB ).
When the LCD flashes…
Occasionally the LCD backlight will flash. This happens to alert you
to one of two conditions:
•
An edit affected another speaker on the same Channel.
W
hen two or more ProLinear DSP speakers are set to the
same Channel, an edit performed on the first speaker will
“propagate” to all the speakers that follow. When this
happens, the backlights on the “slave” speaker LCDs will
flash.
•
The signal is clipping.
If the Input Level control is set too
high, the incoming signal can cause the speaker amplifier
to clip. In this case, the LCD backlight will flash red.
The buttons access and modify speaker parameters and functions.
We will detail their operation within each Mode as it is discussed.
