The 

LOAD/SAVE

 page allows saving and recalling the full configuration of the 

unit, with the exception of: 

-

 

Bluetooth parameters 

-

 

Edit mode (EASY or ADVANCED) 

 

A total of 8 memory locations can be saved. 

Select  the  desired  memory  location,  then  press  SAVE;  you  can  modify  the 

default name, by using the encoder to select the character and the confirm 

(encoder  push)  to  jump  to  next  available  position.  If  you  press  OK,  name 

editing is completed. The first available character is an END-OF-LINE special 

symbol  (grayed  out)  that  indicates  the  name  end,  ignoring  the  following 

characters; the second available character is the usual space character.   

 

 

 

      

 

 

The 

UTILITIES

  page  group  several  global 

parameters and some special functions: 

 

INFO

: provides the current firmware version and 

Bluetooth low-level details 

 

DISPLAY

: 3 parameters are available: 

-

 

Backlight Intensity 

-

 

Timeout to Idle, the time interval (in 

seconds) of inactivity after which the 

display goes in idle state 

-

 

Timeout  to  Home  Page,  the  time 

interval (in seconds) of inactivity after 

which the display returns to the Mixer 

VIew 

 

FACTORY RESET

: it clears all parameters  to  the 

default state 

 

RESTORE  BLUETOOTH

:  in  rare  cases,  the 

Bluetooth connection may need to be restarted; 

this  function  allows  to  restart  the  Bluetooth 

section without power cycling the speaker.  

 

 

     

     

     

 

 

     

 

 

 

The 

AUDIO  SETUP

  page  groups  global  parameters  and  global 

functions.  

 

The 

REVERB

  and 

MIX  OUT MODE

  pages  are  already  detailed  in 

previous sections of this document. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The DUCKER page contain individual enable buttons to allow level 

reduction  of  destinations  (ch.  2,  ch.  3-4  or  BT)  when  a  signal  is 

present on ch. 1 or ch. 2. 

As an example, the rightmost screenshot shows that audio signals 

on  ch.  1  attenuate  ch.  3-4  and  BT,  while  audio  signals  on  ch.  2 

attenuate BT only. 

 

 

 

The 

DELAY

  page  contains individual  DELAY  settings for  both  the 

MAIN  output  (the  actual  speaker)  and  the  MIX  OUT  connector. 

They  can  be  linked  for  convenience.  When  MIX  OUT  is used  for 

specific  functions  (XOVER  OUT,  STEREO)  then  the  Delay  Link  is 

permanently enabled. 

 

Delay value is expressed in ms; when clicking on the encoder, the 

current  delay  value  indication  alternates  between  meters  and 

milliseconds. 

 

Maximum delay value is 136 ms, corresponding to 46.6 meters. 

 

  

  

 

 

   

   

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

To disable timeouts, for  

both Timeout to Idle and  

Timeout to Home Page, 

set value to zero
