LCD settings allow the user to adjust the
contrast preferences of the LCD screen to
compensate for different lighting conditions
that may be encountered within different
venues. Use the <SELECT> key to navigate
to the CONTRAST parameter to choose the
best setup for your system. Use the up/

parameter.
Metering
Users can set their VU metering
preferences here. Use the
<SELECT> key to navigate to
the MODE parameter. Use the
up/down VALUE arrows to

Temperature
This parameter is used to calculate the
speed of sound for converting delay times
into distance. Use SETUP Temperature to
adjust number of degrees and type of
temperature base. Use the <SELECT> key
to navigate to the TEMP and UNITS
parameters. Use the up/down VALUE
arrows to choose between –4.0 F to 140.0
F. The UNITS parameter lets the user
choose between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
Note: Sound travels at different speeds depending on the density of the
surrounding air it is traveling through. Cold air is denser than warm air
thus, travels slower than it would if the air was warmer. Temperature
can have a major influence with greater distances, particularly with
respect to widely separated speaker arrays surrounding the audience for
example. Temperatures might vary wildly between an indoor
environment and an outdoor evening environment for example.
