Octaire Control Panel Operation

Adjusting Audio

If your Octaire system routes audio, the control panel supports volume control, and adjustments may be made at any time during normal operation. Audio adjustments are made in real time as the Control Dial is turned and remain in effect until changed.

The Adjust Volume Screen displays the current volume setting and the range available for the specific audio output signal that has been selected for adjustment. The Adjust Input Gain Screen displays the current gain setting and the range available for the specific audio input signal that has been selected for adjustment. For more information on audio signals and specifications, see the “Signal Types” chapter on page 39.

When audio is adjusted for a source or destination switching on “All,” the adjustment remains in effect for that source or destination when it is switched on “Audio” and vice versa.

Important: For Octaire systems, the total through-system gain (the amount of input gain plus the amount of output gain) specified for any input/output routing path cannot exceed 10 dBr. If you enter a volume (gain) command that exceeds 10 dBr when it is combined with the gain of an input, the command will be accepted (and will be indicated in status results) but will not result in an audible difference of more than 10 dBr.

When the panel is placed in any of the Audio Modes, available keys will be blue and any unavailable ones will not be illuminated. When you select a blue key, it turns white indicating that it is ready for the audio adjustment. Audio adjustments are made with the Control Dial and do not require pressing the Take Key.

You can adjust output volume, mute outputs, and adjust input gain from the Octaire Control Panel using the steps below and on the following pages.

Adjusting Output Volume

To adjust the volume:

1.Route the destination (output) to be adjusted to the source (input); see page 47.

Note: Audio adjustments can be made without routing the switch.

2.Press the Function Key. The Function menu appears.

3.Locate Adjust Audio by scrolling with the Control Dial.

4.Press the Select Key.
