key to navigate to the MODE parameter. Use the up/down VALUE arrows to choose between Analog and Digital input.

LCD

LCD settings allow the user to adjust the contrast preferences of the LCD screen to compensate for different lighting conditions that may be encountered within different venues. Use the <SELECT> key to navigate to the CONTRAST parameter to choose the best setup for your system. Use the up/

down VALUE arrows to choose between: -10 to + 10 LCD contrast.

Limiter Units

In this window you can select between dBu and Volt for Limiter units. Use the <SELECT> key to navigate to the UNITS parameter.

Metering

Users can set their VU metering preferences here. <SELECT> key to navigate to the MODE parameter. Use the up/down VALUE arrows to choose between Normal Fast, Peak Hold and Slow Decay.

Temperature

This parameter is used to calculate the speed of sound for converting delay times into distance. Use SETUP Temperature to adjust number of degrees and type of temperature base. Use the <SELECT> key to navigate to the TEMP and UNITS parameters. Use the up/down VALUE arrows to choose between – 4.0 F to 140.0 F. The UNITS parameter lets the user choose between Fahrenheit and Celsius.

Note: Sound travels at different speeds depending on the density of the surrounding air it is traveling through. Cold air is denser than warm air thus, travels slower than it would if the air was warmer. Temperature can have a major influence with greater distances, particularly with respect to widely separated speaker arrays surrounding the audience for example. Temperatures might vary wildly between an indoor environment and an outdoor evening environment for example.
