At this point the changes you have made in beam steering have not been sent to the associated loudspeaker or stored as a Preset.
IC Live arrays can store up to 10 different configurations as Presets in the array’s DSP memory. For example, you might optimize one
configuration for small events on the main audience area and another for larger occasions when a balcony is used. The Presets include
the beam steering data, as well as gain, EQ ,compression, etc. settings. Once the configurations are stored it is easy to switch between
them. They can be recalled from either the rear of the array, from the controlling computer or, if one is provided a wall mounted rotary
switch.
A digital readout on the rear of the array displays the selected Preset. They are labeled 00 to 09. Preset 00 is claimed by the factory for
field test purposes; it sends an equal signal to all the drivers making it easy to check them by ear for proper operation.
If you attempt to leave Beam Steering
without saving the setup information,
the prompt shown here will remind
you of the need to save it, if you want
to keep it.
Note that presets can not be saved to
an array in the virtual world. The fol-
lowing applies only when an array is
connected to the network.
In the beam steering window, select
either Write to Device or Save as
Preset. The two commands are in the
lower right of the beam steering win-
dow.
Write to Device will send the beam
steering settings direct to the array’s
DSP and write over any previous set-
tings.
Save to Preset will store the beam
settings in the designated Preset.
Note that the Beam Steering Presets
control only the beam steering data;
EQ, compression, etc. settings are
controlled in the Control Mode.
On the Array’s control panel selection of the desired Preset is controlled by three push but-
tons located directly below the digital readout. The Preset Up and Preset Down buttons are
used to select the desired Preset and the Enter button used to enter the selection into the
DSP.
The readout display will flash while the selected Preset’s configuration settings are being
entered into the DSP and return to a steady glow when the procedure is complete. If by
accident you select an empty Preset, the dots following the numbers will flash as an indica-
tion no Preset is being loaded (is available). In multiple module arrays, the Preset Up,
Preset Down and Enter buttons are disabled in the “Slave” modules (the upper modules).
The Volume Up and Down buttons allow adjustment of the array’s output level. When these
buttons are being used the digital readout will display the level setting in dB.
