LEVEL PLUS MK2 USER INSTRUCTIONS

The Level Plus Mk2

The Level Plus Mk2 Lighting desk is a two preset 12
channel desk with fade time control, and the ability to
flash individual channels. All crossfades are dipless.
The multiple brightness sources (A preset, B preset,
Flash buttons and Sequence) are all mixed HTP
(Highest Takes Precedence).

A wide mode feature allows 24 channel operation,
with an internal scene store for stored preset
operation. A sequence feature allows programming of
a chase, and can also be used as a playback stack.
Output is DMX only (channels 1-24), no analogue
output options are available.

Controls and Displays

PRESETS A AND B

The PRESET A faders control the output levels of the
individual channels in association with the A
MASTER and GRAND MASTER faders (see below).
When in wide mode, these control channels 1-12.

The PRESET B faders control the output levels of the
individual channels in association with the B
MASTER and GRAND MASTER faders (see below).
When in wide mode, these control channels 13-24.

CHANNEL FLASH BUTTONS

When the LED in the FLASH ON/OFF button is
steady, the CHANNEL FLASH buttons are used to
flash the channels 1-12 to the level of the GRAND
MASTER. When the LED in the FLASH ON/OFF
button is blinking (option only available when the
desk is in wide mode), the CHANNEL FLASH buttons
are used to flash the channels 13-24 to the level of
the GRAND MASTER. When the LED in the FLASH
ON/OFF button is off, these buttons have no effect.

A MASTER AND B MASTER FADERS

The A MASTER is used to control the maximum
output level from the PRESET A faders. In wide
mode, this fader controls the maximum output level
from all 24 channel faders.

The B MASTER is used to control the maximum
output level from the PRESET B faders. In wide
mode, this fader is not used.

The B MASTER fader is reversed (100% at the
bottom of its travel) to facilitate crossfades when
moving the A MASTER and B MASTER in tandem
(i.e. in the same physical direction).

FADE TIME CONTROL

Crossfading between the preset scene and the stored
scene in Wide Mode works in the same way as
crossfading between presets A and B in Two Preset
mode. The control can be set to a value between
zero (manual) and the maximum fade time shown on
the front panel.

The FADE TIME control is also used to determine the
crossfade time between sequence steps when the
sequence is manually advanced using the
SEQUENCE button.

SEQUENCE MASTER FADER

The SEQUENCE MASTER fader is used to control
the maximum output level from the sequence.

SEQUENCE SPEED CONTROL
The SEQUENCE SPEED control determines the

speed at which the sequence is advanced on
playback. When in manual mode, the sequence is
only advanced when the SEQUENCE button is
pressed.

SEQUENCE BUTTON
The SEQUENCE Button has several functions

depending on the mode:

1. LED off – sequence is not being output. Tap the
button to start the sequence. Hold the button for
2s to enter sequence programming mode.

2. LED blinking – sequence is being output. Tap
the button to advance the sequence. Hold the
button for 2s to stop the sequence.

3. LED on – programming mode. Tap the button to
program a step. Hold the button for 2s to exit
programming mode.

GRAND MASTER FADER

The GRAND MASTER fader is used for overall
control of the maximum output levels from all
channels of the desk.

FLASH ON/OFF BUTTON

The FLASH ON/OFF button is used to set the
CHANNEL FLASH buttons to channels 1-12, 13-24
(wide mode only), or disabled. See above for further
description.

WIDE MODE BUTTON
The WIDE MODE button is used to set the desk into

two preset 12 channel operation, or stored preset 24
channel operation. The LED in the button will light to
indicate Wide Mode. The playback of sequences is
not affected by Wide Mode.

PRESET CONTROL BUTTON
This button is only active when the desk is in Wide

Mode. The PRESET CONTROL button and the
accompanying LEDs on the front panel are used to
control and indicate which master (A Master or B
Master) has control of the preset channel faders, and
which master has control of the ‘stored’ scene.

In Wide Mode the user is able to crossfade between,
or combine two full width scenes, 24 channels wide.
A scene is set up using the Preset A and Preset B
faders to set all 24 channel levels, and then stored in
memory by pressing the PRESET CONTROL button.
A second scene can then be set up on the Preset A
and Preset B faders. The A Master and B Master
faders can then be used to crossfade between the
two scenes.
