    All OUTLINE products are carefully engineered for world-class performance and reliability. If you would like further information about this or any other OUTLINE product, please contact us to info@outline.it. We look forward to helping you in the near future.
  • Page 6: Introduction And Key Features

    • Parameter knob and LCD provide a rapid, user-friendly control interface These key features should be focused on the OUTLINE unit – these are examples / ideas really. The User Guide This user manual gives a progressively more detailed description of the functions of the OUTLINE Genius series loudspeaker management systems.
  • Page 7 PROFESSIONAL AUDIO Input Signal Indicators A set of three pairs of LEDs indicate signal present, +4dBu and input clip for each channel. The signal present LEDs operate at approximately –40 dBu, giving a useful indication of even relatively low input signal levels. The +4 dBu LEDs are intended to show nominal operating level and can also be useful for setting system gain structure.
  • Page 8: Rear Panel

    Rear Panel Power Inlet The OUTLINE Genius series unit should be connected to a suitable mains electricity supply using the cable supplied. The processor has a switch mode power supply that is capable of operating with a nominal mains voltage of 85V to 240V, 50/60Hz without re-configuration.
  • Page 9: Operation

    Selecting a Factory Preset The Genius series processors have a library of Factory Presets designed to suit a range of OUTLINE enclosures. Factory Presets contain some parameters that are fixed and hidden from view; the remainder of the DSP parameters are available for user manipulation.
  • Page 10 PROFESSIONAL AUDIO A parameter may be adjusted when it is displayed by turning one of the three-parameter knobs. Each of the three-parameter knobs is associated with a zone on the display. Adjusting the leftmost parameter knob will change the value of the parameter showing in the leftmost zone of the display and so on. Turn a knob clockwise to increase the value of a parameter, or anti-clockwise to decrease it.

Threshold is user adjustable; all other parameters are carefully calculated dependant on configuration to provide clean and effective control of signal dynamics.
  • Page 19 PROFESSIONAL AUDIO Utilities Utility functions Three utility functions are provided to adjust screen contrast, the display units used for parametric equalisation bandwidth and switch between stereo and mono mode. The device automatically adjusts for the variations in display contrast as the temperature of the LCD changes. The screen contrast utility control sets the base contrast of the screen and also allows optimization for a given viewing angle.
