The Cursor Keys are used to select the value or parameter to be changed. The active edit field will be

highlighted in reverse color. Changing status or a value can be achieved by use of the   /   /   / 

softkeys.

INPUT

The Input field is used to determine whether the input signal should be derived from the optional Digital Input,

or from the Analog Input. Furthermore, in analog mode, this is where you can select the sampling rate,

44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. The Digital Input will automatically synchronize to either 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz. When

changing sample rates, the ULTRA-CURVE PRO will be muted for approx. 1 sec., as all the filter parameters

have to be recalculated. In purely analog mode the 48 kHz rate should be used. Apart from the fact that the

high sample rate gives the widest frequency response and correspondingly the best possible sound, at this

rate the fastest signal processing takes place. If the ULTRA-CURVE PRO fails to send an output, it could be

due to an incorrect input configuration.

VIEWING ANGLE

Viewing Angle controls the contrast adjustment for the display, in increments from 0 to 31. A second possibil-

ity to adjust display contrast is pressing Cursor UP or Cursor DOWN respectively while pressing the SETUP

key.

RTA LOCK

When RTA lock is switched on, it is not possible to enter RTA mode. This is designed to prevent unauthorized

or accidental selection of this mode. RTA LOCK should only be deactivated when the ULTRA-CURVE PRO is

to be used specifically to analyze sound, or if it is to be used in conjunction with another ULTRA-CURVE PRO

operating as an equalizer solely for analysis purposes. (Think of the consequences of the situation where you

are using the ULTRA-CURVE PRO as a P.A. equalizer, and somebody, by accident, presses the RTA key.

This could even, in the worst case, result in the concert sound which you had so carefully equalized being

replaced by the Pink Noise of the analyzer, and this at the full power rating of your system!)

SECURITY

The SECURITY function offers effective protection against unauthorized use of the ULTRA-CURVE PRO. UN-

LOCK means, that all functions may be accessed, with the exception of the programs which are secured under

PROTECT MEMORY. LOCK prevents any of the adjustment parameters on the device being accessed, the

only exceptions being the DISPLAY of the present equalizer setting, plus the input and output level with the

LEVEL METER. The only other way to make changes is via MIDI. In order to use the SECURITY function, a

PASSWORD must be entered, which is done using the cursor keys and the softkeys. The softkeys are used

to select the letter or symbol to be used, and they have the following functions:
A = 

 confirms entry of the password and immediately activates the LOCK status.

B = 

 and C = 

 move the cursor left and right within the PASSWORD.

D =  

 erases any characters which may have already been entered.

To unlock: go into the SETUP menu. The relevant PASSWORD field is immediately accessed, and the PASS-

WORD may be re-entered. This causes the ULTRA-CURVE PRO to return to the UNLOCK status. If the device

is locked without entering the PASSWORD, simply enter OK to UNLOCK.

+

DO NOT FORGET THE PASSWORD! If this happens, there is only one way to remove it: You

must open the casing of the ULTRA-CURVE PRO, and take the battery out for a short while.

After replacing it, and switching back on, the original factory presets will be reloaded. Warn-

ing! Doing this means you lose all your programs, AND void the warranty!
