THE REAR ENCODER CONTROL AND SPEAKER SETTING
Pushing the rear encoder it is possible to select the following three functions:
-
input gain reduction
-
speaker delay setting
-
selection of a speaker preset
INPUT GAIN REDUCTION
Pushing once the rear encoder the gain reduction LED will light up. Now rotating the encoder counter clockwise it will be possible to reduce the input gain.
The gain reduction will be in steps of 0,1 dB for the first 10 dB and than in 1 dB steps. The maximum reduction is 99 dB.
SPEAKER DELAY SETTING
Pushing a second time the rear encoder the delay LED will light up. Now rotating the encoder clockwise it will be possible to delay the signal output of the
speaker. The delay is expressed in meters. The delay will be in steps of 0,1 m for the first 10 m and than in 1 m steps. The maximum delay will be 20 meter.
SELECTION OF A SPEAKER PRESET
Pushing a third time the rear encoder the preset LED will light up. Now rotating the encoder clockwise it will be possible to select a preset.
There are eight presets
(4 groups - Flown or Stacking):
-
1 Cabinet (Flown/Stacking).
-
2 Cabinets (Flown/Stacking).
-
3/4 Cabinets (Flown/Stacking).
-
5/6 Cabinets (Flown/Stacking).
LOW FREQUENCY
A preset with a higher number of cabinets will have a negative shelving filter on low frequency ending at 600 Hz to compensate the woofers sum in the
low end area where the transducers are Omni-directional.
HIGH FREQUENCY
A preset with a higher number of cabinets will have a positive shelving filter on high frequency starting at 1 KHz to compensate the compression drivers
sum in the midrange area where the transducers are more Omni-directional. The increased HF improve the system throw.
SAVING A SPEAKER PRESET
After the parameter settings the 2 digits display will flash one time. This represent saving all the preset values in the speaker memory.
Once saved, all the speaker settings are permanent. It is possible to turn off and turn on, the speaker will remember the last settings.
SPEAKER RESET
To reset the speaker to the original settings:
-
turn off the speaker
-
keep the encoder pressed
-
turn on the speaker
-
the status yellow led will be blinking slowly, keep the encoder pressed
-
the status yellow led will be blinking fast, now release the encoder
-
the reset procedure is finished
Using the RDNet IN/OUT connection it is possible to load in the speaker memory a dedicated user equalisation.
The speaker reset procedure will cancel even this equalisation.
CONNECTIONS
The XLR connectors use the following AES standard:
PIN 1 = GROUND (SHIELD)
PIN 2 = HOT (+)
PIN 3 = COLD (-)
BEFORE TURNING ON THE SPEAKER
At this point you can connect the power supply cable and the signal cable, but before turning on the speaker make sure that the volume control is at the
minimum level (even on the mixer output). It is important that the mixer is already ON before turning on the speaker. This will avoid damage to the speakers
and noisy “bumps” due to turning on parts on the audio chain. It is a good practice to always turn on speakers at last and turn them off immediately after
the show. Now you can turn ON the speaker and adjust the volume control to a proper level.
