level to its previous level over the Release Time period.
The rotary control sets the Release value in the range from
1 s to 12 s, in 1 s increments. The default value is 1 s.
Note that the Page Priority Release Time is global – it applies
to all Zones. The setting has no relevance to Zones that have
Page Pri Sel set to Off.

The default setting is -30 dB. The rotary control can be used
to set any attenuation from -46 dB (the quietest) to 0 dB (no
reduction at all), in 1 dB steps.
Note that Page Priority Attenuation is global – it applies to all
Zones. The setting has no relevance to Zones that have Page
Pri Sel set to Off.

Select Emergency Source
SELECT INPUT Rotary Control selects Input (Mic or Line)
Emergency Source
Off
An external emergency mute applied at the Music Mute rear
connector will normally mute all eight Music Inputs and all
four Microphone Inputs. Paging remains operative. Some
installations may require that one input is reserved as an
emergency audio input, for a Fireman’s Mic or Emergency
Evacuation message. The Emergency Source menu function
determines which input this will be.
Any input may be nominated as the emergency source. Either
a Line or Mic Input may be chosen, making it possible to
interface either microphones directly or line-level devices
such as sound stores.
The rotary control selects the input to be used for emergency
access. Turning the control clockwise scans through Line
1
to Line 8, then Mic 1 to Mic 4. If the Music Inputs
have been renamed, the names are displayed. The default
setting is Off. The menu function can be exited when the
required input is displayed; no additional button presses are
necessary.
Once an input is selected, that input will remain live when
Music Mute is active. With the default setting of Off, all
inputs will be muted when Music Mute is active.
The numeric buttons are not used in this function.
