Assigning a channel to an audio output

Each of the audio outputs AUX OUT 3, AUX OUT 4 and AUX OUT 5 can be assigned a channel. The maximum number of channels available depends on your license. The configuration of two channels/languages is license- free. In order to be able to configure more than two channels/languages, you have to purchase one of the language licenses available (see “Licenses” on page 103).

Note!

The floor channel is always assigned to the two outputs AUX OUT 1 (XLR-3M audio output) and AUX OUT 2 (9-pole sub-D socket). This assignment cannot be changed!

To assign a channel:

From the central unit’s operating menu, choose “Aux-In/Out”.

Choose one of the audio outputs AUX OUT 3 to AUX OUT 5.

Choose “Channel”.

The current channel number is shown on the display.

Choose the desired channel number and press the ENTER key to save your setting.

The desired channel is available at the selected audio output.

Turning the audio inputs or outputs on and off

To turn the audio outputs or inputs on and off:

From the central unit’s operating menu, choose “Aux-In/Out”.

Choose the desired audio output or input.

Choose “Status”.

The current status (“ON” or “OFF”) of the audio output or input is shown on the display.

Change the status and press the ENTER key to save your setting. The selected audio output or input is turned on or off.

Configuring the audio outputs for remote conferencing

To prevent echo during remote conferencing:

Make sure that the two central units of the conference systems installed in separate rooms are connected correctly (see “Carrying out remote conferences” on page 50).

From the central unit’s operating menu, choose “Aux-In/Out”.

Choose the audio output “1 & 2”.

Choose “Dist. Conf.”.

The current setting (“Dist. Conf. = ON” or “Dist. Conf. = OFF”) is shown on the display.

To prevent echo, choose “Dist. Conf. = ON” (if not yet chosen) and press the ENTER key to save your setting.
