Assignment

The ASSIGNMENT function lets you assign a priority levels to each amplifi- er-input combination. This function lets you create a variety of configura- tion schemes and obtain maximum versatility to meet application needs.

The factory default priority levels are listed below:

Input	Factory Priority Level
MIC A	1
MIC B	2
AUX A	3	1 = highest priority
AUX B	4	6 = lowest priority
AUX C	5
AUX D	6

Note: Mic A and Mic B can only be assigned priority 1 or 2; Aux inputs can only be assigned priority 3, 4, 5, or 6. Therefore, mics will always have higher priority than Aux inputs. AUXD takes approx. 30 sec to switch to lower priority input (all other Aux inputs take approx. 16 sec- onds, Mics take approx. 5 seconds).

1.Enter programming mode and press ENT when the function title ASSIGN- MENT appears on the display.

2. When the function is entered, the A1 /

A1/AUXA 3

AUX A (Amp 1 and Aux A) amp-input

combination is always shown, along

with that combination’s current priori-

ty assignment number (3). To select

another combination, use the AMP

buttons and Input buttons. The new

combination appears on the display

with its associated priority level.

3.A priority level can only be assigned when it is not in use by another input. To eliminate an input priority so that it is available for use by another, select the amp-input combination that has the desired priority number. Press NEXT or BACK until a dash (—) appears and then press ENT. This disconnects that input from the amp so that its priority level is available for use with the other input.

4.Now you can select the desired amp-input combination and then press the NEXT or BACK buttons to increment through available priority levels (for Mics, 1 & 2; for Aux inputs, 3, 4, 5 or 6).
