Standalone Mode (Sound-Active, Auto Mode): 

This mode allows a single unit to run to the beat of the music, or the unit will auto change in Auto Mode.

Set dipswitches position, as desired:

Note: The Speed of effect and strobing effect DIP switches affect the auto programs. The 
strobing dipswitches work on their own when all other dipswitches are turned off and there is 
no dmx signal present. Also, when you combine the dipswitches for the speed and/or strobe, 
they stack together for greater speeds. 

2) 

The unit will react to the low frequencies of music via the internal microphone in Sound Active mode, 
or the unit will auto change in Auto Mode. 

3) 

Use the audio sensitivity knob on the back of the unit to make the unit more or less sensitive in 
Sound-Active mode. Turning the knob counterclockwise decreases the sensitivity; turning the knob 
clockwise increases the sensitivity. 

This fixture will automatically recognize master slave operation when connected properly. The first fixture 
will be set as the master, and all fixtures following this will set as slave fixtures. You must follow daisy-chain 
configuration for this type of setup. 

  Note: Do not connect a DMX controller to the fixture(s) when you are trying to run them 

standalone, as this will put them in DMX mode automatically. 

DMX Mode 

This mode allows the unit to be controlled by any universal DMX controller. This fixture will automatically 
switch to DMX mode when you connect a DMX controller to it. Plug the DMX controller into the fixture. 
Using the DIP switches on the back of the fixture, set the DMX starting address.
