Use
Stand-Alone Operation
In stand-alone operation, the device can be used without a controller. A single unit will react to the
surrounding sounds through the built-in microphone. Set all DIP switches to OFF. Use the adjustment
knob at the back of the unit to adjust the sensitivity.
Master/Slave Operation
The master/slave operation enables several devices to be controlled synchronically by the master unit.
Interconnect all units using XLR cables. Set all DIP switches on the master unit to OFF; set DIP switches
1 and 10 on the slave units to ON. All slave units will follow the master unit’s pattern.
7.
DMX Mode
The DMX mode allows you to control the unit through a universal DMX controller. Set DIP switch 10 to
ON to activate the DMX mode, set the DMX address using DIP switches 1 to 9.
