Figure 7. Outputs Dashboard

1. Output Labels

Each output channel may be relabeled simply by typing in the output label field. Best practice is to assign the 
room or zone names in place of the default output labels of 1 - 8 etc. 

2. Matrix Switcher Outputs

Assigns processor channels A – H to specific outputs. See 

Advanced Operation - Matrix Switcher 

instructions on 

page 20. 

3. SIG Indicator

When lit green, indicates that signal is being routed to the output channel. If any given channel is not green, use 
the Matrix Switcher to select the desired input and processor channel. 

4. Clip

Indicates when an amplifier output is exceeding its undistorted power limit. Use the MAX VOL control to reduce 
the maximum allowable volume. 

5. Mute

Mutes to 0dB the selected output channel. Default is OFF (unchecked).

6. Dim

When selected lowers output volume by -20dB. Default is ON.

NOTE: Because this -20dB mute function is engaged by default, it is the first place to look if you can’t get 
enough gain out of a given channel or pair.

7. Output Volume

Sets the volume level of the loudspeakers connected to outputs 1 – 8.
