OPERATION

A. Determines whether the outputs will stay muted on power up until manually switched off (Mute Hold) or the level will gradually fade up to the operating level (Fade In). The fade-in time is fixed.

Wake up 1 Fade-in: Mutes are off, but Output channels rise to programmed levels gradually.

Wake up 2 Mute Hold: All Output channels are muted until the mutes are manually disabled either on the front panel or through the GUI.

7.5 Interface Submenu

This submenu selects the remote ID number for the unit. This number is identified by the

PC when connected for programming.

Press MENU, then NEXT three times and then ENTER. Use the BACK/NEXT or FREQ knob to enter an ID value between 1 and 64.

Use this function when multiple DS48 units are used. Master Control unit is set as 1; slave units are set with subsequent numbers.

7.6Parameter

Parameter lets you set the specific values for a configuration. These are set for the out- puts of the device. Inputs require only a gain setting. Parameters for Outputs include such things as polarity, EQ, Limiter, Delay, HiPass Filter, LoPass Filter, and Filter Type.

7.6.1Gain:

The first press of the GAIN button will go to Input Level adjustment for A or A&B if the first two inputs are linked. Repeated pressing of the NEXT button will step through the succeeding inputs and continue to the Outputs. Once in Outputs, additional presses of GAIN will cycle you through the eight output channels. Use the BACK but- ton to cycle back to the Inputs if needed.

7.6.1.1 Inputs:

Press GAIN to enter the Parameter setup menu. Set the gain for Input A using the FREQ knob. Press NEXT and set the gain for Input B using the FREQ knob. Repeat procedure to set the GAIN for Inputs C and D.

7.6.1.2Outputs:

Press NEXT again and the screen will display an Output (Op1 = Output 1). Set the desired input gain level. At this point you can use the BACK/NEXT buttons to step through each of the parameters for the currently selected output. Press the GAIN button again to go to the next Output and program all of its parameters.
