1. USB –a standard Type B USB connector. Device driver from the provided software CD
must be installed prior to usage.
2. RS232 – a standard female DB9 socket. A straight through cable is required for PC
connection.
3. Mute (Channel Menu) Buttons – Mute or un-mute input and output channels. When an
input channel is muted, a red LED will come on for indication.
When the <<Menu or Menu>> key is held down, the Mute Buttons selects the
corresponding channel for the LCD menu display and is acknowledged by a green LED
below the button. The last modified menu will be displayed on the LCD. Multiple
channels can be linked or unlinked by pushing the desired channels. This eases
programming for same parameters across multiple channels. Multiple Inputs can be
linked together and multiple outputs can be linked together. Inputs and Outputs are
linked separately.
4. Channel Menu LED –Indicates the activated channels for data modification.
5. Peak Level LED –Indicates the current peak level of the Signal:
Signal, -12dB, -6dB, -3dB, Over/Limit. The Input Limit LED references to the device's
maximum headroom. The Output Limit LED references to the threshold of the output
limiter.
6. LCD –Shows all the necessary information to controlthe unit.
7. Menu Buttons –There are 6 menu keys: <<Menu (Menu Down), Menu>> (Menu Up),
<<Cursor (Cursor Down), Cursor>> (Cursor Up), Enter/Sys/Speed, Exit. The
functions of each key is explained below:
<<Menu: Go to previous menu screen. Holding this button down while
pressing Mute key will go to the specify channel menu.
Menu>>: Go to next menu screen. Holding this button down while pressing
Mute key will go to the specify channel menu.
<<Cursor: Go to previous cursor in the menu screen.

Sys enters the System Menu from the main menu.
Speed modifies delay and frequency (1 Hz resolution mode) data
values by 100X.
Exit: Exit to the Main Menu.
8. Rotary Thumb Wheel –Changes parameter data values. The wheel has travel velocity
sensing which ease large incremental data modifications. For modifying delay and
frequency (1 Hz resolution), pressing the Speed key simultaneously will
increment/decrement the data value by 100X.
Operating the Channel Menus
Channel Linking –While holding down the <<Menu or Menu>>, more than 1 channel from
the same group (Input or Output group) can be selected to link the channels together. The
green LEDs below the Mute buttons are lit for the linked channels. Any modification of the
data for the selected channel will be applied to the linked channels as well. To cancel the
linking, simply deselect the desired channel while the <<Menu or Menu>> key is still
pressed, or just press the Exit key to deselect all channels.
Input/Output Signal
LEVEL:
The level (or gain) ranges from -40.00dB to +15.00dB in 0.25dB steps.
POL:
The polarity (or phase) can be normal (+) or inverted (-).

displayed in ms, ft or m. The time unit of the delay is set in the System Menu. Please
refer to page 21 for more details.
Input/Output Equalizer
EQ#: Each input channel has 8 bands of equalization. This control selects one of the 8
available bands.
BYPASS:
This control will un-bypass (Off)or bypass (On) the currently selected band.

TYPE:

The EQ center frequency ranges from 20Hz to 30kHz in either 1Hz steps or 1/36 octave
steps. The frequency steps can be selected in the System Menu. Please refer to page 21
for more details.
BW:
The EQ bandwidth ranges from 0.02 to 3.61 octaves in steps of 0.01 octave. The
equivalent Q value is automatically shown besides the octave value. For 1st degree
all-pass (AP-1) filter, the bandwidth will sets the phase shift at the centre frequency. This
phase shift is gradually changed from 180 degrees above the centre frequency to the
specified value.
LEVEL:
The EQ level (or gain) ranges from -30.00dB to +15.00dB in 0.25dB steps.
Input Graphic Equalizer
GEQ#:
The graphic equalizer has 31 bands of equalization from 20Hz to 20kHz. This control
selects one of the 31 available bands. The frequency corresponding to each band is also
shown.
LEVEL:
The GEQ level (or gain) ranges from -30.00dB to +15.00dB in 0.25dB steps.
BYPASS:
This control will un-bypass (Off)or bypass (On) the entire GEQ for this channel.
