The Scene Memory function
38 M2500—Owner’s Manual

Using mute groups

1. In a scene memory number 1–8, store the mute
(off) settings of the channels that you wish to
use as a mute group.
2. Press the UTILITY switch to move to Utility
mode, select the oP (recall operation) item, and
set its value to “ .” (For details on procedure
in Utility mode, refer to page 34.)
Now scene memory numbers 1–8 can be used as
mute groups, and the DIRECT RECALL 1–8 switches
will function as mute group switches.
3. Press and hold the UTILITY switch for one sec-
ond or more, or repeatedly press the UTILITY
switch to return to Normal mode
4. To turn on a mute group 1–8 (the mute settings
of scene memory numbers 1–8), press the cor-
responding DIRECT RECALL 1–8 switch.
Mute groups 1–8 that are turned on will be shown by
the indicator of the corresponding DIRECT RECALL
1–8 switch.
5. As desired, press other DIRECT RECALL
switches to add mute groups.
6. To defeat a mute group that is on, press the cor-
responding DIRECT RECALL switch once
again.
The indicator of the DIRECT RECALL switch will go
dark, and the mute group will be cancelled.
About the local control cir-cuit
In the unlikely event that the system of the M2500
experiences a malfunction so that the scene memory
circuit cannot be used, it will automatically switch to
the local control circuit. When the local control cir-
cuit is operating, the MEMORY display will go dark,
and it will not be possible to operate the scene mem-
ory switches. However, the ON/EDIT switches of the
input channels and output channels will function as
conventional on/off switches, so that you can con-
tinue to use the M2500 as a conventional analog
mixer.
Note:
• Even while using mute groups, you can use the
▲/▼ (or 0–9/ENTER) and RECALL switches
to recall scene memory numbers 9–128. How-
ever, the mute settings of mute groups turned
on by the DIRECT RECALL switches will not
be cancelled.
• If you use the 0–9/ENTER and RECALL
switches to recall scene memory numbers 129
(all on) or 130 (all off), the mute settings of the
mute groups selected by the DIRECT RECALL
switches will be cancelled.
Note: If the cause for the malfunction is in the
power supply, it may not be possible to use the
local control circuit either.
