Operation

2)The unit will react to the low frequencies of music via the internal microphone in Sound-Active mode, or the unit will auto change in Auto Mode.

3)Use the audio sensitivity knob on the back of the unit to make the unit more or less sensitive in Sound-Active mode. Turning the knob counterclockwise decreases the sensitivity; turning the knob clockwise increases the sensitivity.

Master/Slave Mode (Master Sound, Master Auto):

This mode will allow you to link up to 32 units together without a controller.

1)Use standard DMX cables to daisy chain your units together via the DMX connector on the rear of the units. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at the last fixture. For more information about terminators, see page 8.

2)Determine which fixture will be the master. Connect a DMX cable from the DMX output connector of the master to the DMX input connector of another Vue I™ or Vue II™.

3)Continue connecting the slaves together with DMX cables

4)Set the dipswitches on the master according to the desired mode of operation.
