Basic
Instructions
Paging Volume (but not both) may be reduced to the
center detent. This would normally be the case with a
70V system where speaker taps have been accurately
set for desired SPL. When Paging is desired at
reduced level, the control to be locked-out can be
reduced as necessary. Use the Mic Gain and Voice
EQ on the rear panel to ensure adequate Paging
Volume without feedback. The objective is to keep the
front-panel user control on the detent. Adjust the
remaining control(s) for desired level and then check
the full range of the user control for acceptable
behavior.
Once the nominal page level is set, the Music Volume
(or Master Volume) for that zone can now be
detented. Use Music Volume and Music Input controls
to obtain the desired music level and EQ. Music
Muting may now be set (Section Two, Music Muting
Trims).
Gain Staging the
Music Levels.
Remote Faders only decrease volume from the levels
established by each Zone’s Music Volume and
Paging Volume controls. Set these controls for the
maximum desired volume. The user will then have
Remote volume control over a 30 dB range. Check
Remote Fader positions if gain seems low or
premature clipping (loss of headroom) occurs during
Gain Staging.

The only front-panel controls which affect the Aux
Level are the Master Volume and Master EQ's. Set
these controls in the desired position as determined
above and then adjust the rear-panel Aux Gain for the
desired Aux level.
