Matrix Mixer Output Delay
A variable delay (0–500 ms) can be applied to the output of
Matrix mixers.
To apply delay to a Matrix mixer output:
Target the Matrix mixer output channel by pressing its Se-
1
lect switch in the Assignable Output Faders section.
Press the ACS Delay rotary encoder to apply the delay to the
2
mixer output.
Adjust the delay value by turning the Delay rotary encoder.

Matrix and PQ Mixer Direct Output
Matrix and PQ mixers have Direct Output capability. For more
information, see "Direct Outputs" on page 68.
Matrix and PQ Mixer Delay Compensation
D-Show automatically compensates for delays incurred by the
use of Groups and the insertion of plug-ins in the signal path
to the Main busses.
Using Inserts on Matrix and PQ Mixer
Outputs
You can insert D-Show software plug-ins or hardware inserts
on Matrix and PQ mixer outputs. For more information, see
"Using Inserts on Output Busses" on page 64.
Inserting the Built-In Graphic EQ on
Matrix and PQ Mixer Outputs
A built-in 31-band Graphic EQ can be inserted on mixer out-
put channels. For more information, see "Inserting the
Built-In Graphic EQ on Output Busses" on page 65.

Working with a PQ Controller

When an optional Personal Q remote control system is con-
nected to D-Show, it can be used to adjust the controls in the
Personal Q mixers from a remote location.
For complete instructions on connecting and using PQ Con-
trollers, refer to the Personal Q Controller Guide, included with
the PQ Controller system.
Controller Detection
When a PQ Controller is detected, the Controller Detected in-
dicator lights in the corresponding Personal Q mixer
on-screen window.

Controller Lockout
Lockout From Console The PQ Controller can be locked out by
clicking the on-screen Lockout From Console button in any of
the PQ mixers. When this Lockout button is engaged, the PQ
Controller cannot adjust PQ mixer controls. The performer
using the PQ Controller cannot override this lockout from the
controller.
Lockout From Controller Users can lock their PQ Controllers to
prevent inadvertent changes to controller settings. When this
is done, the on-screen Lockout From Controller indicator
lights in the corresponding PQ mixer. This function does not
lock out control of the PQ mixer from the console.
Calling the D-Show Console from the PQ Controller
To call the console from a Personal Q Controller:
Press the Master Volume encoder knob.
A call message appears on the D-Show console display that
identifies which PQ Controller is calling. The Call LED on the
PQ Controller flashes until the message is cleared from the
console display.
