Cardio; Delay - Mackie DRM18S Owner's Manual

Cardio

Everyone's busy these days with little-to-no time
for exercise. Fear no more, we've got you covered...
at least with cardio. Once selected, you will be
presented with a choice of great cardio exercises,
including:
• Jump Rope
• Squats
• Jogging
• Kickboxing
• Suicide Sprints
• Jumping Jacks
MAIN
CARDIO
Wouldn't that be awesome? I need exercise, I'll go
turn on my DRM18S subwoofer and set the cardio I
want... if only...
No, no, cardio is an "id" shy of cardioid, a way to
"aim" the low-end rumble to have great coverage where
you want it (and away from where you don't). This
allows you to set up the PA in the most venue-friendly
way.
Typically, subwoofers are omnidirectional, but with
cardioid mode you can aim the DLM18S subwoofer's
null point (aka "dead spot") where you don't want the
deep bass blasted.
In order to change the cardioid mode, first push
the speaker control knob when the cardioid mode
icon is illuminated (see image above). This opens
the cardioid view:
CARDIOID MODE
FRONT-FACING
Rotate the speaker control knob until the cardioid
mode you desire – Front or Rear – is illuminated, then
push to select it. As seen above, we're going with Front.
Like the previous sub-menus, the cardioid mode also
has a left-facing arrow. Illuminating and selecting
this simply returns you to the menu.

Delay
This parameter controls the delay. In other words,
you are going to want to time-align the speakers
throughout the venue so the sound hits everywhere
simultaneously. This is the place.

CARDIO
DELAY
The delay time ranges from a low of 0.0 ms (ft, m)
to a maximum of 100 ms (112.5 ft, 34.2 m).
In order to change the delay, first push the speaker
control knob when the delay icon is illuminated (see
image above). This opens the delay view.
From here, rotate the speaker control knob clockwise
until the ms parameter is highlighted.
This is the only parameter that can
be changed here; the ft and m delay time
ranges update automatically dependent
on where ms is set.
Push the speaker control knob in to select
the ms parameter followed by rotating the speaker
control knob clockwise (raise the delay time )
and counter-clockwise (lower the delay time).
