Advanced module control
For special operation modes or in situations w here the normal module audio control circuitry is
‘too slow ’ (or the controls are too fast) for your application, it is possible to disable the
channel mute and introduce a startup-delay. Enter the setup-mode and select one of the
following setup-options (buttons just above the built-in talkback microphone):
PGM / AIR If you enable this setup-option on a module, you let the fader control
the channel mute, independent from the equipment or channel On/Off
status. If the fader is up, audio is enabled to the PGM, AUD and AUX
(post-fader) outputs. If the fader is closed, the channel is muted. In
this mode, starting and stopping equipment is most useful in
combination with button-start.
C.R. Equipment start-delay (100ms). If you enable this setup-option on a
module and you open the channel (either w ith fader- or button start),
the equipment connected to the module is started after a delay of
about 100ms. This ensures that the channel is completely open (mute
and VCA) as soon as the equipment gives audio.
Setup-mode time-out
If no buttons are pressed to change a setting for a period of ten seconds, then the Setup
mode w ill automatically be terminated. If an operation is carried out in Setup mode w hich has
nothing to do w ith this mode (moving a fader or pressing a CUE-button on a module, for
example), Setup mode is terminated immediately.
Is the Setup mode dangerous?
Should the Setup button be accessible to all users? The button could of course be replaced
by a key sw itch, but the question is w hether that is really necessary. The settings that can be
made in the Setup mode are, after all, not so dangerous that they w ould affect the audio
processing of the mixer unit (as far as that is concerned, the routing sw itches on all modules
are really much more dangerous). For all these sorts of buttons, you must know w hat you are
doing. To indicate that the Setup button can be 'dangerous' for untrained users, it has been
made a very noticeable red color.
Virtually identical Setup facilities for mono and stereo modules
All the inputs of a mono or stereo module have virtually the same Setup facilities. Only the
functions relating to the COM bus are unavailable on the BCS72(GE) and cannot, therefore, be
set in the Setup mode. It is, how ever, possible to use a stereo module to w hich a microphone
pre-amplifier / processor is connected as a DJ channel w ithout modification. The sw itch
w hich on a stereo module w ould normally be used as an external cue button can be given the
function of 'cough' button.
Identical Setup facilities for both inputs
In the Setup mode the first line input (or Mic input for a BCS71(GE) module) can be configured
differently to the second line input. Select the Setup function required (for example button
start) and set this for the required input (for example, line 2). Now sw itch over to the other
input (in this case, Line 1) and set the function as required. The settings made are also stored
as Presets independently for Input 1 and Input 2 (Mic and Line).
