QUICK START

Depending on the mode selected, other options will appear for this level of the menu, primarily concerned with input and output assignments. Some assignments are fixed with the crossover type selected. Only those assignments that can be selected will show on the display. Either the BACK/NEXT (2) buttons or the Parameter dial will work for stepping through the selections.

10.Press GAIN (4). Set the gain for Input: A. Press NEXT (2) and set the gain for Input B.

Gain value is selected with the PARAMETER dial (7). Press NEXT (2) again.

11.You are now in the Output programming section. Depending on the configuration selected, the different out- puts will show in the upper left corner of the display as OP1, OP2, etc. You can select an output and then step through the parameters of with the BACK/NEXT (2) buttons OR use the GAIN (4) button to step through the out- puts, changing the same parameter for each output as it is displayed and cycle through the outputs for each parameter.

12.Use the PARAM dial (7) to select values. In the Filter and PEQ screens, multiple parameters are displayed simultaneously. To toggle between these, press the PARAM dial (7).

In the PEQ screen, the ENTER (6) button is used to toggle between

PEQ ,

Low Shelf “}”,

Hi Shelf “{“, and

Bypass “=”

13.After completion of the patching and programming, power up the rest of the system and enjoy improved sound quality.
