Changing The Preferences; Setting The Meter Preferences; Configuring A Virtual Soundcheck - Midas PRO2 Owner's Manual

Chapter 27: Changing The Preferences
This chapter shows you how to change the user settings of the PRO2 to suit your own
preferences and the current working environment.
For information on configuring the number of GEQs and effects, see "Configuring the
number of GEQs (and effects)" on page 125.

Setting the meter preferences

The Metering section of the User tab provides global
parameter adjustment of all of the meters on the control
centre.
• Peak/Hold Time control knob, sets the time (seconds)
the peak LED stays on for, in the range 0 (no peak hold)
to infinity (peak always on). This only affects the
meters on the GUI. Click the enable tick box below to
switch on this function.
• Meter Attack control knob, adjusts the time it takes
the meters to rise, in the range 0 (no delay) to 10
milliseconds. Enable the pre option to switch the input
channel, aux return and output channel meters to be
before the EQ/dynamics/insert.
channels and aux returns are always pre-fader, this
option also changes the output channels to pre-fader.
• Meter Delay control knob, adjusts the meter delay time, in the range 0 to 0.5
seconds. For example, if the control centre is FOH, this function allows you to
synchronise the meters with what you are hearing. This is because the sound from
the performers on the stage will take a certain amount of time to reach you, whereas
the meters pick up that sound at source. Click the tick box below to select this
function. You can adjust the meter delay by using the spin buttons underneath,
which display the delay time in milliseconds (ms) and distance in metres (m).
• Meter Decay control knob, adjusts the time it takes the meters to fall, in the range
10 to 25 milliseconds.

Configuring a virtual soundcheck

The Virtual Soundcheck Record option of the User tab
lets you set the virtual soundcheck options.
• All Dir Out Pre-processing — switches all the direct
outputs to pre-processing.
• Unmute all Dir. Out — unmutes all direct outputs.
• Mute all Dir Out — mutes all direct outputs.
• Set All Dir Out Gains to 0dB — sets the gain of all direct outputs to 0dB.
