When the optional A/D converter is active on preamp in the system, it will be reflected on the Meter Mode
screen. Underneath the corresponding channels “A/D On: dBFS Scale” will be displayed. This indicates that the
scale is no longer in dBu, but rather dBFS just like Gain mode. Any digital overs that occur in the A/D converter
will be latched and displayed as small ovals above each meter.

Note that when in Meter mode, the RCU will not indicate the status of mic power, phase rev or gain of the selected
channel, because the RCU is using the full bandwidth of the

serial interface to transmit level data from multiple
preamplifiers simultaneously.
SETUP
On the RCU, setup mode is accessed by pushing the SETUP pushbutton. Setup mode on the RCU con-
tains the same menus as Setup mode on the preamplifier, with a few important distinctions.
A/D converter Setup
For any preamp with the optional A/D converter module installed, the m802 RCU gives
the user access to all of the converter setup parameters (except clock output selection). These controls do not
function in a global manner like the preset operations, but rather affect the preamp that is currently active. Thus
each A/D converter in the system can have its own independent configuration. Like all other adjustable param-
eters, the remote control sends A/D converter setup commands and the preamp acts on it. This results in a slight
latency when adjusting A/D converter parameters from the remote control as the configuration is completed
before the status is confirmed on the RCU.
Preset Store
Note that preset store menu displays *Store System Preset*. When you store a preset from the
front panel of a preamplifier, you are storing settings in that preamplifier only. If you store a preset from the
RCU, a store command will be sent to all of the preamplifiers in the system. On the RCU the menu will indicate:
*Store
System
Preset*
#:
01 Store : GO
Preset Recall
Note that the preset recall menu displays *Recall System Preset*. When you recall a preset from
the front panel of a preamplifier, you are recalling settings from that preamplifier only. If you recall a preset from
the RCU, a recall command will be sent to all of the preamplifiers in the system. On the RCU, the recall menu
will indicate:
*Recall
System
Preset*
#:
01 Store : GO
It is important to understand that all of the presets are stored in the preamplifiers and not in the RCU. The RCU
simply sends commands to the preamplifiers to store and recall presets. Setup Mode can not be entered from
Meter Mode or Group mode. You must return to Channel mode before entering Setup mode.
