YOU NEED TO KNOW . . .
ABOUT MASTER-SLAVE MODES –
A module may operate in either master or slave mode. All the slaves copy parameters set on
the master.
A master module is usually located in the leftmost chassis position and set to “master”
via the on-board DIP switch (position 1 set to ON). All the other modules can be set to slave
(DIP switch position 1 set to OFF). If another module is set to “master,” the module(s) to the
right of it will "listen" to that master.
See page 13 of the manual for DIP switch location.
•When the power is turned on, the -9dB lamps will flash for a few seconds on any master
modules. The -9dB lamps will remain steady on slave modules.
Slave module parameters may be programmed independently
via the slave module’s own
front panel switch. However, the master-slave relationship will override such settings; the
next time the master module parameters are programmed, the settings will change
immediately on all the slaves as well. So if you want to program the Slave modules
differently than the Master, be sure to program the Master module
first
.
•When the frame is powered, the slaves will always emulate the nearest master module.
INSTALLATION OF THE M•DA-824
:
The flexibility of the LavryBlue 4496 chassis allows up to 4 single width modules to be in
different slots within the frame with some restrictions:
If the unit has an M•AD-824 A-to-D module, it must be in the leftmost slot, and an M•SYNC
module is required. The M•SYNC panel replaces the logo panel in the leftmost position on
the front of the 4496. Additional M•AD-824’s must be in the adjacent slot(s) to the
immediate right of the first M•AD-824 module. Other converter modules can then be added
to the right of the last M•AD-824, including one or more M•DA-824’s. In systems with one
or two converter modules, a MicPre can be added to the right of the converter modules.
MicPre’s are doublewide modules, and take up two “slots.”
Lavry Engineering is required to install the first M•AD-824 module and MSYNC in the 4496
chassis. There are a number of critical calibrations that are part of this procedure. Your dealer
can provide assistance or contact Lavry Tech Support:
