• 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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
PROFESSIONAL AUDIO Preset Name Recall 32 My System SELECT PRESET TO RECALL RECALL RECALL Users can develop their own Preset based on one of the basic or Factory Presets stored within the device. Once a basic or user Preset has been recalled, a user has complete freedom to adjust any or all of the parameters.

PROFESSIONAL AUDIO High Pass Filter In A Freq Shape 20.0Hz LR24 • Knob X: Frequency, out (off), 10.0Hz to 25.6kHz in variable steps • Knob Y: high pass filter type System high pass filtering is provided for the input signal. This is the preferred location for high pass filtering as it affects all outputs and can therefore improve inter-band phase relationships.

PROFESSIONAL AUDIO Limiters Out1 Thresh 4.0dB • Knob X: Threshold, -40dBu to 20dBu in 0.2dB steps A high performance, low distortion limiter is provided on each output. Threshold is user adjustable; all other parameters are carefully calculated dependant on configuration to provide clean and effective control of signal dynamics.

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.
