Mono First
The ‘
Mono First’
menu is only active if the link/split menu is set to ‘
Stereo
’. There are 2 options
within this menu, Yes & No.
If set to ‘Yes’ then if one input of the stereo pair fails then the remaining good input will be
switched to both outputs. (If both inputs of the stereo pair fail then the aux input will be
routed to the output).
If set to ‘No’ then if just one input of the stereo pair fails then the silence detector will route
the aux inputs to both outputs.

Smart Fail
The ‘
Smart Fail’
option is designed to add some intelligence to the silence detection and to try
to prevent false triggers.
Smart Fail Mode I adds a requirement for a 4s minimum length of audio before the fail
countdown is reset, and is intended to prevent clicks, etc. on an otherwise dead line from
being recognised as valid audio.
There are 2 options in the smart fail mode: On or Off
8.
Smart Recovery
The ‘
Smart Recovery’
option is designed to add some intelligence to the silence detector and
prevent false recovery happening due to noise on the main circuits.
Smart Recover Mode I allows brief periods of subthreshold audio embedded in an otherwise-
valid signal without resetting the recovery countdown. This actually loosens the criteria for
valid audio, but should be a better match for some real-world signals and may allow the
threshold level to be set higher for greater overall discrimination.
There are 2 options in the smart recovery mode: On or Off
9.
Start GPIO
The ‘
Start GPIO’
menu alters the units ‘Remote Start Aux A’ and ‘Remote Start Aux B’ loop
outputs. These outputs are usually connected to external equipment and used to tell that
external equipment to start sending audio.
The ‘Remote Start Aux A’ and ‘Remote Start Aux B’ loop outputs become active when the
main audio inputs have failed and the silence detector switches to the Aux inputs.
There are 2 options for the ‘
Start GPIO’
menu: ‘
Continuous’
or
‘Pulsed’
.
When active & set to ‘
Continuous’
the loop output will be permanently on.
When active & set to ‘
Pulsed’
the loop output will alternate between on and off.
