SECTION ONE: INTRODUCTION
Section One: Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Sabine Navigator. These products are our latest versions of the
popular Navigator System Processors.
The new Navigators come in four basic input/output configurations. The NAV240 is a 2 by 4 , the NAV360
is a 3 by 6, the NAV480 and NAV4802 are 4 by 8, and the NAV8802 is an 8 by 8. These System
Processors are equally at home in both touring and installation applications, where they provide
loudspeaker management, matrix mixing, and signal routing. State-of-the-art hardware and firmware
guarantee superior sound quality and reliability.
All firmware and software can be upgraded using Sabine’s Upgrade Wizard software, included on your
Navigator CD.
Aside from the powerful array of features packed into a single unit (multiple crossovers, complete signal
routing and mixing, FBX filters, parametric filters, high and low shelf filters, delay, compression, and
limiting), the Navigator also offers a choice of user interfaces.
Computer control: When you install the included Navigator Remote Control Software you will see a very
powerful yet simple user interface. All parameters and system status monitors are available without
burying you in cryptic menus. From here you control all audio, security, linking, and file saving functions,
and you can manage your entire network of Navigators.
Front Panel Control: The Navigator combines the best of both worlds. The front panel provides access
to every audio and system function for each device. Gain control for each input and output is one touch
away. LED signal meters for each input and output provide a clear picture of signal status, and editing
is fast with the datawheel and cursor keys. Quickly control multiple channels simultaneously by pressing
several channel buttons at the same time, which is very handy for those global changes.
NAVRC-100 Wall-Mount Remote Panel: The attractive NAVRC-100 wall-mounted remote control panel
allows for control of presets, gain, muting, and other basic functions. One NAVRC-100 can control up
to 8 Navigators, and one Navigator can be controlled by up to 8 NAVRD-100 panels.
Serial Remote Control Devices: Navigators are compatible with all the major serial controllers, including
Crestron, AMX, and Cue.
How to Use this Operating Guide
Detailed instructions are provided for all front panel controls, but you will probably be able to get going
after taking a look at the Quick Start page. The instructions apply to all Navigators except where noted.
Later in this guide is an overview of installing and using the Navigator Remote Control Software. For more
detailed information please see the Help section of the software.
If you have any questions you may call Sabine’s Customer Service Department at 386-418-2000 from
9:30 am to 6:00 pm EST.

pertains to the channel(s) that are selected. The last modified menu will be displayed on the LCD.
CHANNEL LINKING: Linking (think of this as applying your edits to multiple channels simultaneously)
multiple channels is accomplished by simply selecting multiple input or output channels. Linking is very
powerful - it simplifies programming for common parameter values across multiple channels. Multiple
inputs can be linked together and multiple outputs can be linked together. You cannot link inputs to
outputs.

SECTION FOUR: USING NAVIGATOR CONTROLS
4.1. QUICK START GUIDE TO THE NAVIGATOR FRONT PANEL
· After powering up the unit, the following initialization screen is displayed on the LCD:
· The initialization process takes about 8 seconds and during that period the unit boots and displays the
Navigator firmware version.
· After the initialization process is finished the Navigator displays its main screen:
· The screen shows the current program number and program name assigned to the unit. The program
assigned is always the last program the user recalled or stored before powering down the unit.
The Navigator is now ready to go.
4.1.1 Configuring The Navigator
Working with your Navigator is easy. Follow these basic steps to get started. For details on working within
each menu, please read Section Five on operating the Navigator.
1. Signal Routing: You first need to get your inputs routed to the appropriate outputs. You can do this
in two ways.
A. Press Enter to enter the Global Parameters Menu, press the >>Menu key until you get to
the Configuration Menu, and choose one of the preset configurations. This is the fast way to
get all your routing done.
B. Or you can press the Select key on one of the outputs, press the >>Menu until you get to
the Source Menu, and choose which of the inputs you want to patch to this particular output.
2. Set Input/Output Gain: The first menu you see when pressing the Select key on each input or output
is the Signal Menu. The cursor is already in the Level field, and you can immediately turn the datawheel
to adjust the input and output gain of each channel. This fast access to gain is very handy for quick
adjustments during your program.
3. Mixing: Mixing for each output is done in the Source Menu of each output (see 1.B. above). In this
menu each input has a gain control so you can set the levels to create just the right mix in this particular
output.
4. Crossover Filters: At this point you may want to set the crossover filters for each of the outputs.
You are essentially controlling which band of frequencies you will send to each of your speakers or
speaker systems. Press the Select key for the output you want to set, and press the Menu key until you
get to the XOVER Menu. You will set filters for the lower and upper rolloff points, the slopes of the filters,
and type of each filter.
5. Equalization: You may want to adjust the frequency response of your system. The Navigator gives
you a powerful set of EQ tools. For each input and output you can use up to eight filters, and these can
be either Parametric, High Shelving, or Low Shelving filters. Press the Select button on any input or output
channel to access the EQ Menu.
6. FBX Feedback Exterminator: Each input channel includes 8 patented FBX feedback control filters.
Use the FBX Mode menu to begin Setup Mode for maximum gain before feedback. See the results of
the process in the FBX Menu, and change the default FBX parameters on the FBX Global Menu.
7. Save your work: You know how important this one is. If you are editing in the input/output menus,
press Home to get to the Main Menu. Then press Global to get to the Global Parameters Menus, and
scroll to the Store Menu. Save and name your program here. Do it early and often!

Section Five: Operating the Navigator
5.1 INPUT MENUS
Each of the Navigator input channels has a separate Menu key. There are 7 function menus for each
input channel, and you cycle through these by pressing the Menu keys. The first line in the LCD indicates
which input channel you are editing, and shows the name of that channel if you have added one (for
example, IN_1: ____), The menus are arranged in a linear fashion. Scroll to the right to reach the end,
then scroll back to the left until you reach the beginning. Use the Cursor keys to select a parameter to
edit, and use the Data Wheel to make your edits.
