SETUP
MUTE 2 / MIC 2 SCREEN
The Configuration Options screen is accessed through the Configure SPM723 menu, and the Mute 2 / Mic 2 tab on the Configuration
Options screen is then used to select options which customize the function of the Mic/Line 2 Mute terminal (see Front & Rear Panel
Features on pg. 3). Mute 2 Input Causes Gated Operation of Mic
2 toggles assignment of gating to the Mic/Line 2 signal. Gating allows
that mic/line input signal to remain off, until triggered on either manually (via contact-closure) or automatically (via signal present) at the
Mute 2 terminal. Mute 2 Input Causes Page-Over Duck of the Main Program Source toggles assignment of ducking at the Main Output.
Mute 2 Input Causes Page-Over Duck of the Zone Program Source toggles assignment of ducking at the Zone Output. Ducking is a
temporary attenuation of the stereo Line Input 1~7 signals at that output, which is triggered manually (via contact-closure) or automatically
(via signal present) at the Mute 2 terminal.
NOTE:
A Mic/Line Input must be enabled before it can trigger ducking (see Mic/Line Screen on
pg. 6).
Mute 2 Hold Time opens a drop-down menu of 256 hold time choices (0~63.75 seconds).
NOTE:
Hold Time determines how long
mute functions remain in effect after triggering (manual or automatic) is released. Hold Time is not the same as Ramp Rate, which
determines how fast a signal returns to normal after Hold Time has elapsed.
Mute 2 Behaves Like a Programmable Logic Input will disable
the Mute 2 functions described above, and instead allow the Mute 2 terminal to be used as a logic input, which can then be programmed
like a remote control button (see Setup on pg. 8). However, a logic input can have two ‘button definitions’, one for when the circuit is
‘closed’ (activated) and another for when the circuit is ‘opened’ (released). Therefore, drop-down menus of the forty possible control
buttons are provided for both the ‘closing’ & the ‘opening’ of the logic input circuit. The logic input can still be triggered manually (via
contact-closure) or automatically (via signal present). Restore Defaults opens a pop-up menu, which allows the Mute 2 / Mic 2 options (or
all Configuration Options) to be set back to their factory defaults. Help provides additional instruction. Close will return you to the Mix
screen.
