To cluster units in this manner, set the cluster option to

Master

on the master and

Slave

on the slave!

Set the cluster option to

None

when you are not working with clustered units.

Unit Name (Page 2)

Use this option to give the Liquid 4PRE™ unit a name. You may want to do this if you are going to link multiple units
and control them remotely from the Liquid4Control™ software application.

Names can be up to 12 characters in length and are entered in the usual manner. See Page 15 for details.

Meter Type and 0VU sine level (Page 3)

These options allow you to change the horizontal meter on the channel LCD between peak level and VU metering, and
adjust the 0VU analogue meter level. Please refer to page 9 for details.

Ethernet.. (Page 3)

To control the Liquid 4PRE™ remotely from the Liquid4Control™ software application, you will need to connect your
computer via the Network Control port on the rear panel and configure a TCP/IP network connection.

The

Ethernet..

option is used to set the Mode, IP address and other network settings of the unit. To edit these settings,

use the encoder to scroll to

Ethernet..

and press the encoder. The following screen allows editing of the

IP addr

,

Mask

and

Gateway

. To edit these options, scroll to

Mode

and change the setting to

MANUAL

from

Auto DHCP

. In

Auto DHCP

mode, none of the options below can be edited.

For full details on this setup, please refer to the Liquid4Control™ User Guide.

To view the current Liquid 4PRE™ OS, Mac address and additional info, press the channel 4 setup button and hold for
3 seconds. This displays the following screen:
