5.2.4INPUT CHANNELS: BUTTONS A TO D

Pressing an INPUT channel button will illuminate the button and the display screen will display the selected function’s parameters for this input. This action will also illuminate the buttons for any output channels to which this input’s audio is routed.

5.2.5OUTPUT CHANNELS: BUTTONS 1 TO 8

Pressing an OUTPUT button will illuminate the button and the display screen will display the selected function’s parameters for this output. This action will not illuminate the

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 input button routing audio to this output.

5.2.6MUTE BUTTONS

Sig	Sig	Sig		Input Mutes:	Mutes the output signal of the corresponding Input Channel.
MUTE	MUTE		MUTE		This does not mute the U-Net output.
					Mutes signal to both the output XLR and U-Net output.
				Output Mutes:

Mute settings are not saved with and therefore not recalled from Program files saved in the processor’s memories. However, the behavior of the mutes may be changed when a program is recalled according to the Program Load setting made in the UTILmenus.

In contrast, mute settings are saved as part of EAWPilot files (*.ept files) and are uploaded to the processor as part of the settings stored in those files.

5 . 3 UTIL (System Set - Up)

The UTILfunction menu items are the global parameters for the processor. Set these parameters first.

5.3.1DEVICE NAME

Enter a unique name for the processor, up to 16 alphanumeric characters.

5.3.2MODE

Select the operating mode. When changing processor modes all settings will be reset to the factory default settings for that mode. In order to avoid losing any custom settings, save them using the PROG function before switching modes. During the mode change, the processor reboots itself and mutes all outputs.

System Processor	The processor functions as a standard digital signal processor.
Loudspeaker Processor	The processor functions using factory set “Greybox” settings for
	particular EAW loudspeaker products.

5.3.3INPUTS A&B / INPUTS C&D

Select the signal, Analog or AES (=AES/EBU), for Inputs A&B and Inputs C&D. The sample rate for the AES signal can be 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, or 96 kHz. The sample-rate converter in the UX8800 will convert the input sample rates to 48 kHz sample rate required for its internal processing.

NOTE: Input connector B is disabled when digital is selected for InputsAB and Input connector D is disabled when digital is selected for Inputs CD.

5.3.4TEMPERATURE

Enter the ambient temperature. This value is used to calculate the displayed delay distances. These distances depend on the speed of sound, which depends on the temperature of the air through which the sound passes. The temperature is adjustable in one degree increments between 32 F degrees and 104 F degrees or 0 C degrees to 40 C degrees, depending on the Units setting. In Loudspeaker Processor mode, the temperature is also used to calculate the air loss pre-emphasis.
