To control the mute status of an output bus:
Press one of the following switches in the Output Fader or
1
Output Encoder assignment sections:
• Aux 1–8
• Aux 9–16
• Personal Qs (Assignable Output Faders only)
• Matrixes (Assignable Output Faders only)
• Groups (assigns Variable Groups when in Variable
Groups mode)
Press a Mute switch to toggle the mute status of the corre-
2

"Muting and Mute Groups."

Adjusting Main Bus Controls

Main Bus Output Levels
The Main bus output levels are controlled from the single
Mains Fader located on the far right of the D-Show Main Unit.

Mains Fader and controls
The Left, Right, and Center/Mono busses can be controlled in-
dependently or in tandem.
You can create an offset between any of the Main bus levels,
and it will be preserved when controlling any combination of
the Main busses. The offset between the busses is maintained
until at least one of the busses is zeroed or maxed.
To control the Main bus output levels:
Press any combination of the Left, Right, or Center/Mono
1
switches to assign control of the corresponding busses to the
Mains Fader.
Move the fader to change the level of the assigned busses.

Fader
Main Bus Mute
The mute status of the Main busses is controlled from the
Mute switch located above the Mains Fader. When at least one
of the Main busses is not muted, the Mains mute switch
flashes.
To control the mute status of the Main busses:
Press any combination of the Left, Right, or Center/Mono
1
switches to assign control of the corresponding busses to the
Mains Fader.
Press the Mute switch to toggle the mute status of the as-
2
signed busses.
Main Bus Delay
A variable delay (from 0 to 500 ms) can be applied to any of
the Main busses.
To apply delay to a Main bus:
Target the Main bus where you want to apply delay by re-
1
peatedly pressing the Select switch in the Mains section, or by
selecting it on-screen.
Press the ACS Delay rotary encoder to apply the delay to the
2
bus.
Adjust the delay value by turning the Delay rotary encoder.

Main Bus Center Divergence Options
When the Main busses are set to L–C–R (Left-Center-Right)
mode, the Center Divergence setting determines amount of
center-panned signal sent to the center output.
When Center Divergence is set to 100%, a channel panned
to center is sent to the center output only.
When Center Divergence is set to 0%, a channel panned to
center is sent equally to the left and right outputs only (phan-
tom center).
A Center Divergence setting between 0% and 100% sends a
center-panned channel to the left, center, and right outputs
with the center channel more prominent as the value in-
creases towards 100%.
To set Center Divergence:
Enter a value or drag in the Center Divergence text box and
press Return.
Main Bus Automatic Delay Compensation
D-Show automatically compensates for delays incurred by the
use of Groups and insertion of plug-ins in the signal path to
the Main busses. Delays are automatically applied to signals
arriving at the Main busses from multiple destinations to
maintain the proper time alignment.
