Assigning Zones In Mla Mini - Martin Audio MLA User Manual

MLA System
USER GUIDE
A test signal such as Pink Noise can be applied to the array and each cell can be individually un-muted by clicking on it to test
that everything is operating correctly and all components are in the correct position in the array. This can be done by individual
cells if the Selection mode is in the 'Elements' position or by an entire MLX and 4 Mini group if you click on 'Groups'. This is
particularly important as the amplifier modules are all in the MSX sub, it is possible to incorrectly wire from the MSX to the MLA
Mini. You can either click on cells manually to unmute them and there is a "play" function to cycle through all cells in the array.
Unlike the other systems, unmuting a cell will mute all others which speeds up the testing process as you no longer need to
manually re-mute the last cell you listened to.
As with the other cabinets, the array noise gate is accessible but in MLA Mini there is only the option to Enable or Disable the
gate;-
When you have completed any testing, click on the HIDE button;-
Which will un-mute all cells and return you to the main array window.

Assigning Zones in MLA Mini

As with MLA, MLD and MLA Compact, there are up to six zones available for the system as the Array Overview shows. How these
are defined is however different from the other MLA components. You may have noticed that the right-click function in the
System diagram does not allow zone definition for an MLA Mini Array. Instead, zones are defined using the zone faders. If you
look at the Array Overview thumbnail, you will notice that the MSX (two in our example) have a red border and the 8 MLA Mini
have a blue border;-
