Panel Layouts
Power Switch- Applies mains power to the device. If the device has entered Sleep mode, it may be
woken up again either from the System Engineer application, or by switching this switch off, then on
again.
Status Indicators- The "OVERLAY" indicator shows when there are parameters active on a group
layer, which the user cannot access through the front panel of the device (see
). The
Overlay Flush
"DANTE" indicator shows that a networked digital audio card is installed and routed. The "ONLINE"
Off
indicator has three states:
– the unit is offline and not connected to a computer or network.
Flashing
- the unit is searching for an IP address; if the unit does not find an IP address the unit will
On
assign itself an IP address automatically and the indicator will stop flashing.
- the unit is online and
connected with software. IP settings can be viewed or changed within the <UTILITY> pages.
Input Signal Indicators- A set of indicators show "Sig", "-20", "-10" and "Clip (mute)" for each of the
DSP inputs A to H. The signal present Indicators operate at approximately –40 dBu. The Clip/mute
Indicators warn the user of input overload and operate at 1dB before clip. This indicator also shows a
muted input. The indicators in the input section are sometimes used to show progress of an action (a
clockwise rotating wheel pattern), or confirmation of an action (e.g. an expanding square to confirm
snapshot recall), or an error condition ('Motorway' hazard flashing).
Bridge Indicator- This will illuminate when the channel pair is in Bridge mode. The controls for the
left channel of the pair will determine the settings. See
Bridge Mode
Amplifier Indicator- This indicates when the amplifier protection systems are reducing the gain to
keep the parameters of the amplifier within specification, or when that the channel is clipping.
Driver Indicator- This indicates a signal 6dB higher than the limiter threshold, or when the threshold
of the excursion limiter has been exceeded, or when the thermal limiter is active. Please note that
because of the long release time of the thermal limiter, this indicator may remain illuminated for
several seconds after signal on that channel is reduced.
Limiter Indicators- The output indicators shows the status of the limiter and output signal level. The
level indicated is that before the limiter, referenced to the limiter threshold. The <SIG> indicator
shows when a signal is present on the output. The second indicator <-6dB> shows that the signal has
reached 6dB below the limiter threshold. The third <LIMIT> indicator indicates that the threshold of
that output channel has been reached. The indicators in the output section are sometimes used to
show progress of an action (by illuminating progressively more indicators), or confirmation of an
action (e.g. illuminating a number of indicators equalling the number of a Snapshot being recalled).
