2) Configuring the outputs:
The first step when a custom configuration is required is configuring the output channels. In
standard configuration, every output channel is configured as an 100 Volt output channel.
When your installation requires a combination between 100 Volt and Low impedance (8
Ω
)
speakers, this shall be configured by selecting the corresponding output and browse to the
‘Settings’ > ‘Output setup’ > ‘Output type’ menu.
NOTE: For further information about connecting the outputs in 100 Volt or 8 Ohm mode,
see page 18 of this manual.
3) Configuring the inputs:
After the output configuration has been made, the next step is the input configuration. In
standard configuration, every output channel is patched with the corresponding input channel
(Input 1 to Output 1, ... ). In case this configuration is required for your setup, this step can
be skipped. In cases where specific inputs should be assigned to the outputs, the input
selection can be made in the settings menu under ‘Settings’ > ‘Input’. Selection is possible
between all applied inputs, including summed inputs (Converting stereo inputs to mono).
After the inputs are assigned to the outputs, the input gain for every used input should be
set. The input gain can be adjusted under ‘Settings’ > ‘General setup’ > ‘Input gain’. On
the right side of this screen are colour indicators shown for every input, giving feedback
of the currently set gain. A correct regulation of the input gain is achieved when the green
indicator is frequently blinking, the orange indicator is only illuminated at the peaks (-6 dB)
and the red indicator blinks rarely or not. When the red indicator blinks frequently, the input
is overdriven and the gain needs to be reduced. When the green indicator blinks rarely or
not, no input signal is detected and the gain needs to be increased.
3) Acoustics configuration:
After the in and output configurations have been made, the next step is making acoustic
configurations and optimalizations. When bass cabinets are used in the installation, it might
be required to add low-pass filters to the bass cabinets channel, and high-pass filters to the
mid/high loudspeakers channels. Filter configurations can be made in the ‘Setup’ > ‘Output
configuration’ > ‘Filters’ menu. Sound quality can be optimized to specific acoustics using
a 7-band equalizer which can be found in the same menu.
Ready
After all above connections and configurations are made, the system is ready for rock & roll.
More specific features such as password protection, standby mode, and many more can
be configured. How this should be done can be found in further chapters of this instruction
manual.
