Master Section - GENZLER ACOUSTIC ARRAY MINI Owner's Manual

PREAMP VOLUME – This control sets the preamp's input volume level for the INST input.
PHASE SWITCH – This switch reverses the phase of the instrument's signal. By reversing the phase, feedback can be
reduced if caused by sympathetic vibrations between the speaker system and the instrument. Under some conditions,
changing the phase can drastically improve the acoustic output from the amplifier and can improve the playability of the
instrument.
CONTOUR – Our unique CONTOUR circuit offers a continuously variable pre-shaped curve that boosts lows and highs
while simultaneously cutting mid frequencies. The slope is fairly gentle which keeps the tone shaping very musical. This
curve covers a wide frequency range and can be used by itself or in conjunction with the EQUALIZATION controls. When
the SHAPE control is all the way off (CCW) the CONTOUR response curve is completely FLAT.
EQUALIZATION – The INST channel contains an active 3 band equalizer with a sweepable parametric mid-range
frequency control. The mid-range filter is typically (but not always) used to reduce or remove offending frequencies in the
instrument or room response; or to boost response to achieve a particular voicing. Spend some time experimenting so
that the process becomes creative as well as corrective.
LOW:
MID GAIN: +/- 15dB boost/cut of the variable mid frequency selected
MID FREQ.: Variable mid frequency from 200Hz-5kHz
HIGH:
EFFECTS – The INST channel has its own set of REVERB and CHORUS level controls that provide the user with the
most flexibility in having either or both effects on.
REVERB: This control sets the level for the amount of Reverb effect.
CHORUS: This control sets the level for the amount of Chorus effect.

MASTER SECTION

REVERB TIME – This control adjusts the decay time of the internal digital reverb effect. The more the control is turned
clockwise the longer the decay time. This provides a wide range of useable reverb effects. A good starting point for this
control would be a setting around 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock. Turning this control to 0 turns off this effect entirely. The
volume of this effect is controlled by the channel REVERB control.
CHORUS RATE – This control adjusts the rate and depth of the digital chorus effect. The more the control is turned
clockwise, the faster the chorus rate and the shallower the depth of the effect. A good starting point for this control would
be a setting around 10 o'clock to noon. Turning this control to 0 turns off this effect entirely. The volume of this effect is
controlled by the channel CHORUS control.
MASTER VOLUME – This control adjusts the overall volume of the amplifier. Typically, best results are obtained when
this control is operated between the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions.
CUSTOM CONTROL KNOBS – We've included custom designed control knobs
which offer marker lines for precision adjustments and a "finger positioning dip"
so that the player can know the knob position by tactile feel alone.
