<Input Configuration

This tab includes a list of the permitted (checked) or blocked (unchecked) audio sections in the input panel. 

Check the sections that you want to be ready to use. As an example when the application does not need any 
input with phantom power, it is recommended to disable it so avoiding inadvertent operations. Sections that are 

not really used  are also recommended to set unchecked so making the installer job easier. 

<Output Configuration

This tab includes a list of the permitted (checked) or blocked (unchecked) audio sections in the input panel. 

Check the sections that you want to be ready to use. As an example when the application does not need any 
time delay, it is recommended to disable it so avoiding inadvertent operations. Sections that are not really used  

are also recommended to set unchecked so making the installer job easier. 

<Help

You can set the unit to ask you for new software version at the start-up or eventually check for updates. Set

it accordingly.

<Input File /Output File

This tabs appears respectively in the tabs menu when application is on the INPUT DETAIL or OUTPUT 

DETAIL respectively. You can save/load the whole output channel number setup or the individual sections of that 
channel in the computer. The file only stores the channel number that is selected actually. For an all channel 

storing, click on the main 

File

 tab.   

<Input Edit /Output Edit

This tabs appears respectively in the tabs menu when application is on the INPUT DETAIL or OUTPUT 

DETAIL respectively. You can copy/paste the whole output channel number setup or the individual sections of 
that channel in/from the clipboard. The clipboard only stores the channel number that is selected actually. 

This tool is useful when copying configurations between channels that has many properties in common. 

This is the case when some inputs are using the same microphone model, or in the output section, when the 
loudspeakers used are the same in many outputs.

  

7.2  AUDIO MANAGEMENT

T

he program is composed of separate panels with some interactions, meaning a setting on a panel 

would be seen on another correlated one. Each panel can be opened or closed at any time depending on the 

actual job preferences and the resulting canvas could be organized upon the installer needs. The screen size 
and resolution would result in the number of opened windows to operate with simultaneously.

On the MAP processor design, all the audio components are always available to be used following the 

design of conventional audio devices. It is not necessary to create an EQ or drag a dynamic noise gate, simply 

switch it on or off to take it place.

In order to simplify the canvas, the section inside a panel that is not in use -in OFF- would change 

graphically to a second plane whitened but showing the more important set-up parameters. Simply make it alive

by clicking it on ON.

  

7.2.1 INPUTS Panel

On this section you have a full view of all the inputs 1 to 12. Control and visibility includes all the main audio 

components at a glance. For a detailed control go to the INPUT DETAIL panel tab.
On each channel you will found

EQ by-pass switch with level bargraph

GATE by-pass switch with gate activity leds and level bargraph

CMP (compressor-expander) by-pass switch with gain reduction/expansion led and level bargraph

FADER with long range bargraph. Fader movements:
