About the LARC2

The 960L is controlled from the LARC2. While the LARC2 is a completely new remote, its operation will seem familiar to users of the LARC remote used with the Lexicon 224XL and 480L. Like the original LARC, the LARC2 is compact enough to rest on or near the center of the console, while keeping the 960L Mainframe out of the way -- hundreds of feet away in the machine room, if necessary.

The 960L’s user interface and the LARC2 were designed to be helpful to new users and fast for experienced 480L users. The LARC2’s joystick and eight touch-sensitive motorized faders are always connected to and controlling audio parameters. The assignment of audio parameters to each of these controls has been individually optimized for each of the more than 200 factory Programs that ship with the 960L. Further, you can easily customize these assignments to put the parameters you use the most at your fingertips.

System status (input levels, machine configuration, clock source and lock status, mute state, etc.) is always visible on LARC2 through an LED meter bridge and a dedicated region of the color LCD display. Dedicated function keys, a numeric keypad, screen navigation arrows and eight soft buttons allow easy and quick navigation through the rest of the user interface.

Each screen has space for explanatory notes. Some of these notes are help messages, while others can be customized by the user, using either the LARC2’s own text entry interface or a user-supplied PS/2 computer keyboard.

Unpacking the LARC

The 960L system is shipped in two cartons, one containing the 960L Mainframe, the other containing the LARC2 dedicated controller. After unpacking, save all packing materials in case you ever need to ship the unit. Thoroughly inspect the 960L system and packing materials for signs of damage. Report any shipment damage to the carrier at once. The following accessories are packed with the LARC2 (for the 960L mainframe carton, see Chapter 1):

•LARC2 remote console

•50-foot cable for connection to 960L Mainframe

•Warranty & registration cards

•CE compliance certificates

Note: You will find the LARC2 to be a robust and reliable product. It does contain complex electronic and electro-mechanical assemblies. We suggest handling it with the same care you would apply to the use of a laptop or notebook computer.

Important:

•Never connect a LARC2 to anything but the 960L Mainframe.

•Never connect either Mainframe Remote Port to anything but the LARC2. Doing so may damage your equiptment.
