Module Setup
Normal Mode:
In this mode, all inputs into the system from other modules and the ANS1R module’s AUX input will be affected by the automatic gain adjustments of the ANS1R.
An AUX input is provided on this output module so that when it is installed the input func- tion of the module bay is not forfeited. When this module is set for “Normal Mode”, the front panel control of the unit functions normally, controlling the level of the source plugged into the module’s AUX input.This input signal is applied to the unit’s mix bus like all other input signals and is applied to the gain adjusting process of the ANS1R.Therefore, the input applied to the ANS1R’s AUX input, in this mode, will be affected by the gain adjusting process just like all the other inputs in the unit.
Note: When the AUX Input Processing jumper is in the “Normal” position, the AUX LVL control on the ANS1R module will be inoperable and the module bay’s front panel control will function.
1. Ensure that the AUX Input Processing jumper (J6) is in the “Normal” position (this is optional if the ANS1R’s AUX Input will not be used).
2.Connect all input sources to their respective inputs on the unit.
3.Set the desired levels of all the inputs using the unit’s front panel level controls (the ANS1R module’s AUX LVL control is inoperable in this mode).

Bypass Mode:
In this mode, all inputs into the system from other modules, but not the AUX input on this module, will be affected by the automatic gain adjustments of the ANS1R.
In audio systems that provide continuous background music, it may be desirable to have the background music stay at a fixed level but have all other amplifier inputs (like a paging microphone) change level in response to the ambient noise level in an area. Background music is typically provided to make a venue seem less empty during slow periods or to help cover conversation during quiet times. It is often undesirable to have this background music level increase as ambient noise increases since it only adds to the overall noise in the area. The ANS1R provides a means to bypass its AUX input around the gain adjustment process so that it does not change with ambient noise levels.
Note: When the AUX Input Processing jumper is in the “Bypass” position, the module bay’s front panel control will be inoperable and the AUX LVL control on the ANS1R module will function.
1. Ensure that the AUX Input Processing jumper (J6) is set to the “Bypass” position.
2.Connect the background music source to the module’s RCA jacks.
3.Set the background music to the desired operating level using the modules AUX LVL control (the front panel input level control for the installed bay is inoperable in this mode).
