Operation Modes

The fixture can be operated as stand-alone, whether sound activated or auto mode, Master/Slave
Mode and DMX Mode.

Stand-Alone Mode (Sound-Active, Auto Mode)

This mode allows a single fixture to run to the beat of the music, or the fixture will change
automatically in Auto Mode.
1)
Set the DIP switches position to Sound Active or Auto Mode.
Mode
Master Auto
Master sound-active
Master all on
Master red
Master green
Master blue
2)
The fixture will react to the low frequencies of music via the internal microphone in Sound Active
mode, or the fixture will auto change in Auto Mode. In the static color modes, DIP switches 4-8
will control the strobing speed.
3)
Use the audio sensitivity knob on the back of the fixture to make the fixture more or less
sensitive in Sound-Active mode. Turning the knob counterclockwise decreases the sensitivity;
turning the knob clockwise increases the sensitivity.
4)
Combine DIP switches 1-3 to choose multiple color combinations.

Master/Slave Mode (Master Sound, Master Auto)

This mode will allow you to link up to 32 fixtures together without a controller.
1)
Use standard DMX cables to daisy chain your fixtures together via the DMX connector on the
rear of the fixtures. (For longer cable runs, we suggest a terminator at the output of the last
fixture).
2)
Choose a fixture to function as the Master. Turn DIP switches to the Master position on the
fixture. The Master fixture must be the first fixture in line.
3)
Please see the DIP switches settings for Stand-Alone Mode above to set the fixture to the
Master setting of your choice.
4)
Turn the DIP switches to the Slave position on the Slave fixture, and they will react the same as
the Master.
