7. Ch 1/Mix Switch [Thru Output]

This switch allows you to choose whether only
the channel 1 signal (pre-gain) is sent out to the
next loudspeaker [switch out – Ch 1] or if a mix
of the channel 1 and 2 signals are sent out to the
next loudspeaker [switch in – Mix] (post-gains).

8. Speaker Mode

Here you are able to change the loudspeaker's
speaker mode to tailor it to best suit your particular
application. There are four modes: PA, DJ, Monitor and
Soloist. Press the speaker mode button repeatedly until
the LED of the speaker mode you desire is illuminated.
Refer to the Frequency Response graphs on page 21
for further information.
PA Speaker Mode – This mode is full range, but
focuses on mid-range clarity where vocals often reside.
This is the place to start for most sound reinforcement
applications.
DJ Speaker Mode – This mode bumps the lows and
highs with a mild tuck to the mids, perfect for music
playback.
MON(itor) Speaker Mode – This mode features a
low frequency roll-off and a reduction around 2 kHz to
ensure maximum gain before feedback in monitor
applications.
SOLO(ist) Speaker Mode – This mode features
a low frequency roll-off to get rid of unwanted thumps
and adds boost and sparkle to mid-range and high
frequencies. This plug-and-play mode is perfect for
singer-songwriters.

9. Feedback desTROYer:

The multi-band feedback destroyer hunts down
offending feedback frequencies and applies up to four
notch filters automatically to destroy feedback and
maximize gain prior to feedback. This is a great tool
for performers without a dedicated engineer.
The integrated and amazingly accurate Feedback
Destroyer instantly employs up to four incredibly
narrow 1/16th octave filters to locate and eradicate
feedback so you know you can perform fearlessly.
Plus, the entire system is protected by our Smart
Protect ™ DSP which kicks in to protect your
investment when things get pushed a little too hard.

10. Main LED Switch / Limit LED

The LED on the front of the SRMv3 loudspeaker
illuminates when this switch is disengaged and
AC power is available at the mains input [1].
Engage the switch if you do not want the front panel
LED to illuminate.
SRMv3 loudspeakers have a built-in limiter that
helps to prevent the amplifier outputs from clipping
or overdriving the transducers. The limit indicator
illuminates yellow when the limiter is activated.
It's okay for it to blink yellow occasionally, but if it
blinks frequently or lights continuously, turn down
the gain knob [4] until it only blinks occasionally.
Excessive limiting may lead to
overheating, which in turn trips the
thermal protect circuitry and interrupts
the performance. See 'Thermal Protection' on
page 12 for more information.
11. Breakfast Mode
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Here you are able to order your favorite breakfast
food and drink. Press the breakfast mode buttons
repeatedly until the LEDs of the food and drink you
desire are illuminated. This mode is only available
between 6 am and 11 am at participating SRMv3
loudspeakers.
