Channel Mute; Zone Source Selection - Ashly nXe Series Operating Manual

Operating Manual - nX, nXe, and nXp 150W/75W Power Amplifiers
3) neWR-5 - The neWR-5 function buttons are assigned gain control function in the same manner as the WR-5, but instead of
connecting to the amplifier's data port, the neWR-5 uses an Ethernet network connection.
4) RD-8C - The RD-8C is programmed from Protea software when wired to a nXe or nXp amplifier under software control.
ne
The RD-8C will appear in software as a captive device to the host amplifier. Place a remote gain control tool in the DSP section
(input or output) of Protea software to allow the user to assign each RD-8C fader for control of a channel or group of channels.
ne
The RD-8C also has a mute button for each fader which will mute all channels associated with that fader.
ne
5) Event Scheduler - Protea software offers an event scheduler for several amplifier functions including changes to WR-5 and
neWR-5 remote control gain. With the event scheduler, the installer can assign one or more times of day or days of the week
for the amplifier to automatically change WR-5 and neWR-5 channel gain parameters.
6) Protea Software - Real time gain control from software is available using a variety of tools. These include the main ampli-
ne
fier's software control surface using the channel main fader, a single fader gain control placed on an input or output channel, a
digital VCA group gain control placed on an input or output, or a WR-5 (or neWR-5) gain control.

10.7 Channel Mute

1) WR-5/RD-8C - WR-5 buttons can be programmed to mute and unmute single or multiple inputs or outputs.
The RD-8C has a mute button associated with each fader which mutes those channels associated with that fader.
2) neWR-5 - The neWR-5 buttons can be programmed to mute and unmute single or multiple inputs or outputs.
3) Event Scheduler - The event scheduler can be set to automatically mute or unmute single or multiple inputs or outputs at a
predetermined day and time.
ne
4) Protea Software - The user can mute inputs or outputs in real time from within the software control surface, the DSP sec-
tion inputs and outputs, and the input source section.

10.8 Zone Source Selection

1) WR-5 - A WR-5 is typically used to remotely control amplifier functions within one specific zone. The amplifier output(s)
used to drive loudspeakers in this zone are selected in the WR-5 remote software device window under <Zone Setup / Select
Zone Outputs(s)>. The WR-5 buttons can then be programmed to select one or more input channels for that zone under WR-5
control. When multiple zone source select buttons are assigned uniquely different or overlapping inputs, each button will add to
or subtract from the other's input selections, unless the <Exclusive Source Selection> box is checked in the zone setup, in which
case only the current button's selected inputs will be used. The <Disable Zone Level Control> software checkbox allows input
source selections to be changed from the WR-5, but not the output gain. The output gain can still be adjusted from software, but
the WR-5 user is locked out from making zone output gain changes.
2) neWR-5 - The neWR-5 offers the same zone source selection capabilities as the WR-5, with the addition of programmable
limits on output gain level.
3) Event Scheduler - Use the event scheduler <Output Source Select> feature to enable or disable a single input source on a
specific amplifier output or AUX output.
