USER’S MANUAL

Introduction Tempo 12 is the most powerful 12-channel control desk that combines
economy in price and high performance. It is suitable for permanent
installations or touring requirements for either small stages, studios or
theaters.
Tempo 12 can control 12 channels or 12 programmable memories by using
the 12 sliders. Twelve monitor leds indicate the output level. Each channel
or memory can be flashed to 100% from flash buttons at any time.
The pre-programmed chaser with its own chase master level control, is
activated simply by pressing the chase on-off button. The user can adjust
the rate and select one of three operating modes of the chaser as well as
one of the three functions on each mode:
Mode 1: 1x12 channels Function 1: up
Mode 2: 2x 6 channels Function 2: down
Mode 3: 4x 3 channels Function 3: up-down
The chaser can be assigned to two six-channel groups with a simple press
of a button. Group 1 includes the first six channels of the control desk (1-6)
and group 2 the last six channels (7-12).
The output intensity of Tempo 12 can be adjusted by a grand master control
while blackout is set by the DBO key.
Dimmer packs with DMX-512 input can be connected to the DMX-512
output of Tempo 12. Analogue outputs of Tempo 12 (0/+10V) can drive
dimmer packs with analogue inputs.
For safe and correct operation, please read the instruction manual very
carefully, before using the equipment.
