4-Unit Sound Active Operation:
to run to the beat of the music without any type of controller. Only use
this function when running a single system, or when running several
systems as individuals.
1. Mount your units in a safe and secure manner.
2. Connect the "slave" units to the "master" unit as detailed in the illus-
tration below.
3. To activate the Sound-Active mode, set dip switches #9 and #10,
on the rear of the "master" unit to the ON position (See the "4-Unit
Operation" on chart on page 13).
4. The unit will now react to the bass sound of music via the internal
microphone.
5. Adjust the audio sensitivity knob on the rear of the unit to make the
unit more or less sensitive to sound. Turning the sensitivity knob in
the clockwise direction will increase the sensitivity to sound. Turn-
ing the knob in the counter clockwise direction will decrease the
fixture's sensitivity to sound.

8-Unit Master-Slave Operation (Sound Active):
more dramatic effect, link two FAB 4™ systems together. This function
will allow you to link two systems together and operate them in sound-
active mode without the need for any type of controller. In Master-Slave
operation the "slave" unit will react to the programs and sound sensitiv-
ity settings of the "master" unit.
1. Mount your units in a safe and secure manner.
2. Using standard XLR microphone cables, daisy chain your units
together via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remember
the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR connector
is the output. The "master" will use the female XLR connector only,
the slave will use the male XLR connector only. See the illustration
below. For longer cable runs use a terminator at the slave fixture.
3. Follow the chart on page 13 for proper unit dip switch settings.
4. The unit will now react to the bass sound of music via the internal
microphone.
5. Adjust the audio sensitivity knob on the rear of the unit to make the
unit more or less sensitive to sound. Turning the sensitivity knob in
the clockwise direction will increase the sensitivity to sound. Turn-
ing the knob in the counter clockwise direction will decrease the
fixture's sensitivity to sound.
Note: Stand-Alone and Master-Slave operation require sound to
activate! The units will blackout when no sound is present to con-
serve bulb life when there is no sound present.
