Volume Control and Standby

Volume Control

When either button is depressed, they will alter the volume setting. The volume adjustment range is 00 – 59 (-95dB to +18dB), with 47 indicating 0dB.

Standby

Pressing simultaneously will put the SM6 into standby, disconnecting all power supplies except the digital power supply for the microcontroller and turning off the remote trigger outputs. The selected input and balance settings are saved.

Standby is indicated by a single dot on the display and operation can be resumed by pressing buttons simultaneously again.

Refer to Chapter 5 “Remote Control Functions”, for further details on volume and standby controls.

Alphanumeric Display

The display will illuminate when the power is turned on at the mains power switch or when various remote or front panel adjustments are made. At turn-on, the display will illuminate with 00 and default to the input selected at the last standby cycle.

Source Select and Mute

Source Select

When either button is depressed, they scroll through the source inputs.
