<POWER> 

Mains power on/off switch. During start up, the unit will display the 
software revision number. Note: the audio signal input is connected 
directly to the output by a relay when power is not on.  
 

LEFT INPUT 

Input gain of left channel. -10dB to +10dB. 
 

RIGHT INPUT 

Input gain of right channel. -10 dB to + 10 dB.  
 

LEFT OUTPUT 

Output volume of left channel. 0dB to mute  
 

RIGHT OUTPUT 

Output volume of right channel. 0dB to mute  
 

PPM 

Peak program meter for both left and right channels. When "DELAY 
LINE" is adjusted for left, the PPM will display the left channel. 
When "DELAY LINE" is adjusting for right, the meter will display the 
right channel. When "DELAY LINE" is adjusted to L= R (left = right) 
the PPM will display the audio channel which is highest.  
 

OVERLOAD 

The OVERLOAD LED +3 will 

always

 display a overload on either 

left or right channel. 
 

BYPASS 

Delay bypass on left and right channels. Sets the delay time to 0 
seconds. (This is not a relay bypass)  
 

MUTE 

Mutes both channels at output.  
 

MONO 

Mixes left and right inputs to a mono signal.  
 

DELAY LINE 

Switches between 3 positions L, R or L=R. Left channel (L) displays 
the delay time of left channel. Right channel (R) displays the delay 
time of right channel. Left = right (L= R) displays the delay time of 
both channels alternatively.  
 

DELAY DOWN 

Decreases delay time for the displayed channel 
(or both if L=R displayed).  
 

DELAY UP 

Increases delay time for the displayed channel 
(or both if L=R displayed).  
 

SHOW DISTANCE 
METRE  

Press the "DELAY LINE" and the "BYPASS" keys simultaneously in 
order to get the delay displayed in meters. Press the "DELAY LINE" 
or "DELAY UP" / "DELAY DOWN" to get back to time display. 
 

Note: If UTILITY PARAMETER 4 is set to VALUE 1 you can adjust 
the delay time in SHOW DISTANCE mode
