The internal digital signal processor (DSP) assigns a new ID to the device for the remote control within the Pronet network. Each element must have a unique ID so that it can be represented in the Pronet network.
- Page 16 Connections and controls [PROT] LED | This LED lights up red when the protection circuit of the amplifier module responds due to an internal error and the amplifier is therefore muted. This LED lights red when the internal output signal is limited (due to excessive input signal level!).

Page 17: Starting Up
Starting up Starting up Switching on Once you have established all the necessary connections, you can turn on the audio system. It is recommended to provide one switch for turning on the entire audio system and to always leave the Power Twist plugs connected to the sockets of the individual elements. With this simple trick you can extend the life of the Power Twist connectors. - Page 18 Starting up Application example for The devices can be combined vertically or horizontally into subwoofer stacks. Of each three stacked subwoofers devices, the middle one should face the stage and work with the [CARDIOID] DSP preset. The other two devices face the audience and work with the [STANDARD] DSP preset. With this con‐ figuration, the bass level is reduced for the artists on stage but maximised for the audience.
- Page 19 Starting up 3 Auditorium 4 Doubled bass 5 Reduced bass Subwoofer stacks must be placed at a distance of at least 80 cm from walls and fixed obstacles, so that the sound is not affected by reflections. A 218 LA Active Speaker...
