Operating the M10

 

 

Setup Key: 

 

Most of the functions of the M10 are the display and control of a selected M7.  The setup key is unique to 
the M10 and used for controlling parameters and saving system setups in the M10.  .

 

 

Saving-Recalling Multi-Machine Setups in the M10: 

Yo

u can quickly store the overall configuration of a multi-machine set ups using the quick save keys on the 

M10, saving complete multi-machine setups in the M10s memory.  This works the same as on the M7 for 
saving and recalling favorites but in this case the memory is in the M10 not the M7s.  
 

Press SETUP, then press and hold one of the 1-4 keys to store. The complete system setup of up to 
8 machines and all the settings of every M7 will be saved for later recall.  To recall press SETUP, 
and select “Favorites”, press one of the 1-4 keys momentarily and it will recall all M7s to their 
saved state.  This recall includes the last running preset, and all system settings for each machine. 

 

M10 Display Illumination level: 

Press SETUP, then SYSTEM and the lower right display will show the text DIM. Use the wheel to 
adjust, press ENTER to set. This sets illumination intensity of the main text displays on the M10 
in 7 steps. 

 

Machine Configuration:  

(this is only active when 5 or 6 M7s are connected) 

Press SETUP, then SYSTEM and press the cursor down to find “Disp”, use the wheel to select 
linear LN or split SP, press enter to set .As described in detail in the previous section, this selects 
the arrangement of machines to the upper or lower bank for easy access in surround applications 
when 5 or 6 machines are connected. 

 

Precautions to take when saving system setups: 

Most users will more than likely connect the M10 to their M7s, complete the installation and 
rarely change things.  But there is the possibility to move machines around and then reconnect 
them in different ways as and some users may have multi-rooms with patching facilities for re-
configuring the M10-M7 setup for different projects etc.  In this case, there are some precautions 
that should be considered when using this feature.  
 

How it Works

When the M10 stores setups, it simply saves the overall state of each machine in its memory. This 
is the complete overall state that each unit is in and is the same as when the unit is powered off.  
The M10 only knows how many M7s are physically connected, but since there is no ID unique to 
each M7, the M10 does not know one M7 from another and sees them as a list of one after 
another, so when saving and recalling setups, it will just reinstate the information to each machine 
in the list.  What this does not take into account for is if you re-patch the order of your M7s to a 
different sequence.   If you do this, you should re-connect them in the same order to insure the 
M10 can reload all presets and parameters correctly.  If this procedure is not adhered to, miss 
labeling will occur when the M10 tries to reload settings from user registers that do not exist in the 
repositioned M7. 

 

How to Minimize Possible Problems

If you are a user who will be moving M7s around for different jobs and locations etc., the best way 
to minimize the chance of this occurring is either to be sure place each M7 in “program” mode not 
in a user register or favorite when saving a setup or better is to be sure to reconnect them in the 
same order they were last used.. This will eliminate any chance for this situation to occur.
