Names and Functions of Controls on Screen

qd GAIN LIMIT and qf OVER GAIN indicators

The sending level from input section is the sum of the qj INPUT fader and the input fader of the SRP-X700P. If the SRP-X700P master volume is manipulated and the sound volume is remotely controlled via the REMOTE terminal using the GROUP FADER screen and REMOTE screen respectively, these setup values are also added to the sum.

You can set the upper limit of the sending level by the qd GAIN LIMIT to prevent excessive output level using multiple volume controls. Each click of the [+] or [--]button increments or decrements the sending level by 1 dB in the range of +10 dB to –10 dB. You can enter numerical values directly on the screen.

If the sending level exceeds the GAIN LIMIT value, the actual sending level is limited to the GAIN LIMIT value and the qf OVER GAIN indicator lights in red.

qg –∞indicator

If there is no sending sound when muted or when the INPUT fader is at the –∞level position, the –∞indicator lights in yellow.

qh FADER select and qj INPUT fader

The qj INPUT fader has the two modes of ACTIVE and

INACTIVE.

To switch the fader mode, click the qh FADER select. The selected mode lights in yellow. The yellow marker displayed on the side of the fader indicates the fader position, which is the sum of the qj INPUT fader setup and the SRP-X700P input fader setup.

When the sound volume of a specific input channel is to be set from the REMOTE screen and the GROUP FADER screen, the fader position determined by the SRP-X700P Master volume control and the remote control signal via the REMOTE terminal is indicated.

ACTIVE mode:

ACTIVE mode is used to adjust the reference sound volume by using SRP-X700P Manager.

You can adjust the qj INPUT fader by dragging the fader portion.

The audio signal that has passed the INPUT fader on the INPUT OVERVIEW screen and the OUTPUT fader on the OUTPUT OVERVIEW screen, is output.

(The INPUT fader and the MASTER volume control of the SRP-X700P, and REMOTE1 to 6 of the GROUP FADER screen are bypassed. The sound volume of the output signal increases by 5 dB in the case of Fig. 1.)

INACTIVE mode:

INACTIVE mode is used to enable the INPUT fader and the MASTER volume control of the SRP-X700P, and REMOTE1 to 6 of the GROUP FADER screen.

The sound volume is shown by the yellow marker that is displayed on the side of the faders. The audio signal that has passed all faders is output.

You cannot adjust the qj INPUT fader in INACTIVE mode. (The sound volume of the output signal decreases by 25 dB in the case of Fig. 2.)

Note

•When the FADER select of the SRP-X700P Manager is

switched to ACTIVE for the first time after shipment from the factory, the INPUT faders are all set to –∞automatically and the system is muted even if an attempt is made to increase the sound volume using the INPUT fader or the MASTER volume control of the SRP-X700P.

Muting is set in order to prevent the system from generating a large sound abruptly when the FADER select is switched to ACTIVE in the event of sound volume adjustment for the first time. Entering muting is not a failure.

Therefore, do not terminate the SRP-X700P Manager or do not disconnect the USB cable without adjusting the sound volume.

•A sudden large sound may occur when you switch to ACTIVE mode while the sound volume is reduced by either the fader, MASTER volume or from the REMOTE terminal. Before switching the mode, stop the connected equipments and check the direction of the microphones.

•The mode of the INPUT fader and the mode of the OUTPUT fader are interlocked and so are switched together.

qk LINE4 input select button

LINE4 has the six input channel terminals of A to F.

You can select a input channel from the six channels using this button. The selected button lights in green.
