When one of them is selected with the mouse (left button), it turns blue and is selected for the
parameters adjustment (LEVEL, CROSSOVER, EQ, DELAY, LIMITER). With the context menu of one of
the list outputs (right mouse button) you can rename it, edit its comment field, etc. The output number
displayed by default is not editable.
OUTPUTS section is composed of different groups of controls and indicators: LEVEL, CROSSOVER,
PARAMETRIC EQ, DELAY, LIMITER being the processing order applied to the output signals.
In the upper right corner of the OUTPUTS window, there are two icons named
“Copy Channel Data” and “Paste Channel Data”.
Clicking on “Copy Channel Data” in a channel (source channel) stores all
parameters in a temporary memory.
Clicking on “Paste Channel Data” in a channel copies in the destination channel
the parameters stored temporarily during the last “Copy Channel Data”
operation, configuring the destination channel as the source channel.
7.7.1. LEVEL
Adjusts the overall channel output level after processing (CROSSOVER, PARAMETRIC EQ, DELAY,
LIMITER):
 VOLUME fader: output channel volume, adjustable between –infinity and 0 dB. There
are two Vu meter-type level indicators to the right of the channel fader: the left bar
displays the output channel signal level coming from the matrix and the right one the
output channel signal level after processing (LEVEL, CROSSOVER, EQ, etc.). Above
the bar, the saturation indicator (CLIP) lights up when the input signal (before
processing by EQ, compressor, etc..) exceeds the saturation level (+18 dBV)
 SOLO: mutes all device channels except the one with the SOLO function enabled.
 MUTE: MUTE: mutes audio for this channel.
 POLARITY: allows the output signal phase to be inverted (180 degrees shift).
 MODE: MONO or STEREO. Selecting the STEREO mode associates this output to
its counterpart (normal output pairs are 1 & 2, 3 & 4, 5 & 6, 7 & 8, 9 & 10, 11 & 12, 13
& 14 or 15 & 16) as a stereo output displayed as a single output (OUT 1 / 2 or OUT 3
/ 4, etc.) in the output list, processing settings being equally applied to both outputs.
When you select STEREO, the odd channel settings are assigned to the pair of
channels. If you split them again, each output returns to the settings it had before
linking. In the MATRIX display, STEREO inputs are displayed separately and are
identified by their "link" symbol lit.
If Link channels mode is enabled in the MATRIX section (chain link symbol) in
addition to stereo mode, levels and mute function of the 2 crossing points between
these inputs and outputs are synchronized (see examples in 7.6.1. INPUTS column).
7.7.2. CROSSOVER
The CROSSOVER section contains the FILTER TYPE and FREQUENCY parameters for each of the
two filters (low-pass and high-pass) constituting the crossover. It usually splits the audio frequency
spectrum in two parts, creating the two bands usually used in two-way speakers.
 FILTER TYPE: allows you to select the crossover filter type. You can select one of the following
filter types.
o Butterworth 6, 12, 18 or 24 dB/oct
o Bessel 12, 18 or 24 dB/oct
o Linkwitz-Riley 12 or 24 dB/oct
Note: selecting one or another type of crossover filter automatically adjusts the number of filters
available in the parametric equalizer for that channel. Using a 6 or 12 dB/oct crossover filter
