Setting the configuration preferences

Setting the configuration preferences
The Configuration Preferences section of the Preferences
screen lets you configure the system as follows:
• Effects and GEQs — drop-down list from which you can
select the desired combination of effects and GEQs (see
Chapter 15 "Graphic Equaliser (GEQ)" on page 157).
• Automate Patching — ticking this option lets you change
audio patching in automation (see "Using patching in
automation" on page 208).
• DL431 Mic Splitter Inputs — if you are linking two PRO
Series Control Centres (for example, for FOH and MON
operation) this option lets you select the type of inputs (A or
B) you want for this PRO Series Control Centre. The other
PRO Series Control Centre must be set with the alternate
option. For example, if you select Use B Inputs at this
control centre, the other one will have to be set for Use A
Inputs.
• Master/Slave Status — selects the synchronisation source
of the PRO Series Control Centre's digital audio, which can be either internal or
external. For configuration details when connecting two PRO Series Control
Centre's, see "Using multiple digital consoles" on page 243.
If you choose Master (internal), all system units must be configured for external
sync source.
If you want an external sync source, choose Slave. Then, select the sync source
from the Sync Source drop-down list (below). On the sync source itself, for
example, a line I/O or mic splitter, configure its sync source as internal.
• Sync Source — drop-down list from which you can select the synchronisation
source.
• Stage Link X and Stage Link Y — select the snake type for each network. This
must be done before operating the PRO Series Control Centre, otherwise it
will not work.
• Surround Mode — select the type of surround mode you want. Otherwise, select
None for no surround mode.
• Fan Speed — select the speed of the internal cooling fan of the PRO Series Control
Centre as High (fast) or Low (slow). If you are operating the PRO Series in a warm
or hot environment, we recommend that you select the High option. If the noise of
the fan operation is causing a problem, select the Low option.
• Date and Time — click the SET button to set the date and time (see "Setting the
time and date" on page 252).
