Quick Start Stand Alone Mode

Connect all your units together via the XLR connector. You 

can connect up to 16 units together in Master/Slave mode.  

The  master  unit  will  run  the  slaves  to  the  masters  built  in 

programs and internal microphone. Plug in all units. When 

the Sonic Beam II™ is first turned on, it will run through an 

internal  self  test  where  it  moves  all  motors  to  their  zero 

position. After the self test the units will react to sound, and 

chase to the several built in programs.
