MANAGEMENT

This switch is used to turn the main power ON / OFF.

As the input gain control, the control range is fro m +12dB to -40 dB, it includes 8-band Parametric EQ
and Delay for adjus tment. Due to the Gain is adjusted by digital, user can se t the i nput l evel t o
suit t he application. But becareful not to set the volume too high to let the signal clipped.

As the output gain control, the control range is fro m +12 dB t o -40 dB, it i nclud es Inp ut selection, Crossover,
5-band Parametric EQ, Delay, Gain and Compress / Limit functions. Due to the Gain is adjusted by digital,
user can adju st the output level to appropriate situa tion. T he out put lev el disp lay was useful to the
gain setting, as it can avoid the volume too high to let the signal clipped.

Several functions parameters setting, such as ID number setting, Digital and Analog Input selection are
used for different application.

MANAGEMENT

GETTING STARTED

The powerful versatile signal processor is mainly designed for use with audio systems.
Its routing configurations of the input and output can be only set by recalling one of the PRESETS
included in the internal memory. So the user must be very clear about the main function of theunit in
order to get best operation of . Before you start your operation, please read the
follows carefully:

3. First Setup

Firstly, set the following parameters shown in order:

Polarity of the outputs

Alignment of the speaker enclosure components

Levels of the outputs

Output Pol.
Output Delay
Output Gain

At this point, the first custom setup can be prepared.
The following is only the description of setup procedure.
The detailed specifications of each parameter are shown in the respective paragraphs of the manual.

Note: The regulation of the 's parameters is closely related to the characteristics o f
the components of the sound system. So if you're not the expert, please refer to the docum­entation and technical specifications of your power amplifiers, loudspeaker enclosures, monitors, etc..
This will enable you to work faster and safely.
