1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The D-911 VCA Fader Unit is designed to remotely control the digital mixer with the D-984VC VCA Control Module installed. Connecting to the D-984VC permits volume adjustment of input and output channels and contact controls of the digital mixer.

2. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

• Connect the D-911 to the D-984VC VCA Control Module installed in th e digital mixer. Connect each of eight terminals to the D98 4 V C's t e r minal of t he same name by way of the fully-connected straight cable as shown on the right.

• Use the D-901 firmware of version 3.0 or later. Firmware versions earlier than it cannot be used in conjunction with the fader unit. The f i r m w a r e ve r s i o n number can be confirmed on the D-901 ' s f r o n t panel-mounted display. If your firmware version is old, download the latest software program and the "D901 PC software instruction manual" from the TOA Internet product data site [http://www.toa-products.com/]. For the update procedure, refer to the instruction manual.

• For ch a n n e l s w i t h stereo link or g r o u p settings established at the digital mixer, only the lowest numbered channel in the preset link or group is enabled.

• Fader position "10" of the D-911 provides the channel gain set by the digital mixer. As a guide, knob position 8 provides about 10 dB below the gain set by the D-901.

• When connected to the D-901 digital mixer, volumes can be adjusted for all channels of the D-901.

• When connected to the D-2008SP digital mixer, desired input and output channels can be assigned freely to the input faders (1) and output volume control knobs (4) for volume adjustments using the D-2000 Setting Software. For details, refer to the instruction manuals attached to the D-2008SP.
