RACKTUNER BTR2000

Acoustic  indicator

The  selected  tempo  is  also  output  at  the  SOUND  or  MAIN  connector.

+

If your instrument is plugged into INPUT 1, the metronome click is output only through the

SOUND connector. If it is plugged into INPUT 2, and the SOUND output is not in use, the

metronome click is output together with the instrument signal from the MAIN connector.

You  can  change  the  volume  of  the  click  at  any  time  and  thus  control  the  volume  ratio  between

instrument  and  click  if  you  are  listening  to  both  using  one  amp.
1.

Briefly  press  the  SOUND/METRONOME  button.  The  SOUND  LED  above  the  button  lights  up.

2.

With  the  wheel  you  can  adjust  the  volume  of  the  click  with  12  volume  levels.

+

Even at the lowest volume level (

1

), the metronome click is still audible. The click can be

shut off with the MUTE button.

3.

If  the  volume  is  not  changed  for  some  time  or  if  the  SOUND/METRONOME  button  is  pressed

again,  the  SOUND  light  goes  out.

The  metronome  can  naturally  be  muted  without  affecting  the  visual  display.
1.

Press  the  MUTE/LIGHT  button.

2.

The  metronome  click  is  muted  and  no  longer  output  through  the  MAIN  connector.

6. USING A FOOTSWITCH

Single  footswitches  can  be  plugged  into  the  MUTE  and  SELECT  connectors  (

not

  included).

+

Use only non-latching footswitches! The BEHRINGER DUAL A/B SWITCH AB200 is ideally

suited.

The  following  functions  are  available  with  the  footswitch:

TUNER

METRONOME

MUTE

To mute

MAIN output

To mute

MAIN output

SELECT

Toggle between INPUT1 

and INPUT2/MIC inputs

Table  6.1:  Options  overview

If you have a double footswitch such as the BEHRINGER FS112, it must be connected to the SELECT

connector!  Both  functions  (MUTE  and  SELECT)  are  then  transmitted  over  a  stereo  connection  and

can  be  controlled  using  the  two  buttons.

6. USING A FOOTSWITCH
