Operation
Starting up
The unit will energise as soon as power is applied to the IEC inlet; there is no power switch. During the start up
process the firmware application model number and version numbers are displayed and the outputs are muted
until the unit has completed its internal checks. Once the start-up routines are complete and the unit is ready to
pass audio. The DSP signal path will be restored to the current settings when it was last powered down and the
audio signal is gradually ramped up to its correct level.
Selecting a Factory Preset
The Genius series processors have a library of
Factory Presets
designed to suit a range of OUTLINE
enclosures.
Factory Presets
contain some parameters that are fixed and hidden from view; the remainder of the DSP
parameters are available for user manipulation. The number and type of hidden parameters is dependant on the
Factory Preset, typically crossover frequencies, output delay and some EQ’s are hidden; those settings that are
a function of the loudspeaker cabinet design and should not require adjustment for different applications.
To recall a
Factory Preset
for a particular cabinet or system, press Recall and use the left hand parameter knob
X to scroll through the available factory preset locations (as indicated bu a box symbol after the preset number).
Once the appropriate preset has been selected press recall again, at which point you will be asked to confirm
the action by pressing recall for a third time. This is to guard against accidental recall of Presets.
Factory Presets
are locked so they cannot be over-written. The user can, however, store an edited version of a
Factory Preset in any free preset location.
Details of all the
Factory Presets
including output designations can be found in Appendix A.
Creating a Crossover
In addition to the
Factory Presets
the unit has two further ‘
Base Presets
’; mono and stereo. These
Base Presets
are stored in locations 1 and 2 respectively, they can be used to develop settings for any loudspeaker
combination and are recalled in the same way as the
Factory Presets
described above. These Presets are also
locked but the user can name and store their own edited versions in any free preset location.
Navigation and Viewing Parameters
Many of the processing elements in each input and output path have features that may be controlled by the
user, such as gain, frequency or limiter threshold. We call these adjustable features parameters.
