The unit assigns the Input source for the corresponding outputs when the Mode of
Configuration is selected. The crossover point parameters like the filter type, cut-off frequency
and slope have to be configured manually in the 

Xover

 Menu in each Output menu.

*Note: The configuration mode configures the input sources when selected. The user can
change the source afterwards if desired. It does not keep the configuration in memory.

Copy Parameters

Copy channel parameters from the source to the target. When the Source and Targets are both
Inputs or Outputs, all audio parameters will be copied. When one of the Source or the Target
is an input while the other is an output, only the Level, Polarity, Delay and EQ are copied.

· SOURCE: Channel to be copied from.

· TARGET:  Channel to be copied to.

General System Parameters

· FREQ MODE:  Selects the frequency control mode for EQ and crossover filters. Can be 36
steps/octave or All Frequencies (1 Hz resolution).

· DELAY UNIT:  ms, ft or m.

· DEVICE#:  Assigns the device ID from 1 to 16. This ID is useful when a network of more than
