1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing the automatic mix-amplifier Genio 10 form AVE. Genio 10 is a device which
is used impressively in medium and large rooms where the acoustic conditions complicate
intelligibility.
Genio 10 is equipped with 10 inputs: 8 balanced mic/line inputs, 2 switchable CD/Aux inputs with
volume, treble and bass controls. Each mic/line input is equipped with a COMP controler, a GAIN
control, a 3-band EQ, a volume, operating and peak display and a rocker switch for adjusting Line,
Micro Low , Micro High and the connecting of phantom power (48 V). This makes it possible to
seamlessly connect any type of microphone and produce a uniform sound pattern for each
speaker.

The device also has a USB port and a SD card slot. The unit also offers a variety of additional
features such as a directly controllable output 0 - +6 dB, optional remote control, a switchable
sensitivity for CD, a switchable adjustable sensitivity for Aux, Output 1 and Output 2 for controlling
an external power amp. The speaker outputs are designed for 100/70/50 V and also for 4 ohm.
Each output has a 31-band graphic equalizer, a 6 parametric delay and a limiter assigned.

All sources are controlled by a 2-channel digital signal processor. The Genio 10 is equipped with its
own software. All settings are made through a menu-driven user interface directly on the device.
This makes programming easy and convenient – a laptop or PC is not needed. The user can
instantly recall 20 different presets which can be set for different occasions. A protection circuit
protects all settings from access by unauthorized persons.

Genio 10 is equipped with the latest technology (SMD, digital power amplifier, switching power
supply).
All components are integrated in a 19“ cabinet 2 U.

Genio 10 is available in for versions: 2x240 W, 1x240W, 2x150 W, 1x150 W.
Sections 2., 3. and 4.1 in the manual are intended for the user where the components oft he device
