Utilities
The
[UTILITY]
key allows you to set up various system parameters for the unit. Repeated
presses of the key will cycle you through the following modes. You can also use the
[%]
and
[%]
keys to cycle through these parameters (but this will not return to the equalization set-
ting display):
NOTE
You can also exit the UTILITY mode by pressing either the
[PEQ]
or
[NOTCH]
key.
SYSTEM SETUP
If you are in stereo mode, you will only have one parameter here: EMPHASIS. If you are in
mono mode, you will also have the option (INP. MODE) of whether the signal is taken from
the left or right input.
The emphasis function is a type of noise reduction and can effectively be used to reduce the
high-frequency noise produced during A/D conversion and D/A conversion. It causes
some deterioration of the dynamic range in the high-frequency range, however.
Because this equipment uses a 20-bit AD/DA converter, a sufficient dynamic range is
assured even when the emphasis function is turned off. Setting it to OFF will work best for
most material most of the time.
Emphasis: Use the
F
encoder to turn emphasis on and off
(this trips an internal relay, so you will hear a “click” as
this is switched).
Input mode: Use the
G
encoder (if you’re in mono mode)
to set the input mode to either “L-MONO” (the signal is
taken from the left channel input) or “R-MONO” (the sig-
nal is taken from the right input). This option is only avail-
able in mono mode.
TITLE EDIT
Each equalization setting may have a name. This may be useful in a mobile PA setup which
is often used at the same venues at different times (a setting named “UNIV. STADIUM” is
easier to remember again than program 23). Names set using this function are displayed on
the screen whenever you step through the memory areas using the
[%]
or
[^]
keys.
Use the
F
encoder to select a character (0-9, A-Z, a-z +
punctuation) and the
[L/<]
and
[R/>]
keys as cursor keys to
determine which character will be edited. Use the
[STORE]
key as an easy way to enter a space.
The
[UTILITY]
key will be lit for all these displays
