IQ–MSD Turbo 1.4 Advanced IQ System Software
The ASA control also serves as an entrance to the Sub-block screen where the automated control functions are
configured. To display the Sub-block screen, highlight ASA and press E or Y . When ASA is on, the correct
status of the IQ P.I.P. may not be reflected in the control block. However, the indicators in the monitor area of the
control block will accurately reflect the status.
SOLO: Mutes both channels of all amplifiers except the one selected. Before this control will work, it must be
enabled from the Control Panel screen. (Press ) to go to the Control Panel screen and turn on the Solo Function
Enabled control.) To solo an amplifier, select its Solo control in its control block and turn it on. Use O N to move
from the Solo control of one amplifier to the next.
DUAL/MONO: This parameter serves as a note to label the operating mode of the amplifier. It has no affect on
the operation of the amplifier because the amplifier's Dual/Mono mode must be set in hardware. Possible settings
are Dual (Stereo), Brid (Bridge-Mono) and Para (Parallel-Mono).
L1, L2: These controls assign each channel to a link group. L1 controls Channel 1 and L2 controls Channel 2.
When linked, two or more amplifier channels can be controlled as a single unit. To use the link feature, first highlight
the link group to the right of L1 and L2. Then tap the "Space Bar" until the desired group is selected. There are
35 possible groups (A-Z, 1-9). Finally, select the link command (L1 or L2) and press "Space Bar" to toggle it on.
While linking connects the controls of all units in the same group, it does not necessarily force them to the same
setting. As long as the Plus "+" and minus "-" are used to increment or decrement the level their relative difference
in level is maintained (until they reach the maximum or minimum setting). However, directly entering a level with
the number keys, does force all linked channels to that exact setting.
Power: Turns the high voltage supply of each channel on and off. The control for each channel is located under
the "Ch 1" and "Ch 2" headings. Select the Power control for the desired channel and toggle it on and off with the
"Space Bar".
Atten: Sets the input attenuation level of each channel. The attenuation can be increased and decreased in 1
dB steps using S + Z and S + Y. Any number from 0 to 50 can also be entered directly.
Pol: Inverts the polarity of the amplifier output channel. This can be useful if the amplifier's output was reversed
as a result of miswiring or other circuit anomaly. Invert the polarity with the Pol control to change the signal polarity
to the loudspeakers.
Mute: Turns an input on and off. When an input is muted, its signal is attenuated 80 dB.
