Configuring The VENU360
There are two ways to configure the VENU360: using the Setup Wizard or using Configuration mode. For some applications,
both methods may be required.
The easiest way to configure the VENU360 is to use the built-in Setup Wizard. This works well for configuring most systems,
including stage monitors and PA systems with crossover configurations from full range up to mono 4-way (3-way main
speakers with subs). It also works well for initially configuring the VENU360 for delay fill and zone applications. However,
some applications will require further customization of the configuration using Configuration mode. This section of the manual
describes how to use the Wizard and Configuration modes in more detail.
Using The Wizards (Wizard Mode)
The VENU360 Wizards walk you through the configuration and optimization process with simple, step-by-step instructions,
making it easy to setup the VENU360 for your application. Using the optional dbx RTA-M measurement microphone, the
Wizards can optimize your sound system by helping adjust your system level balance and analyzing your room and applying
accurate room EQ – in a fraction of the time it would take to manually analyze and calibrate the system!
To use the Wizards to configure and optimize a new system:
1. Press the WIZARD button.
2. Select the “RUN ALL WIZARDS”
option using the SELECT wheel.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Turn the SELECT wheel to edit
on-screen selections and press
the SELECT wheel to confirm
on-screen selections and advance
through the Wizards.
TIP: Pressing and holding the WIZARD button for ~2 seconds at any time during the Wizard procedure will abort the
current Wizard and return to the main Wizard menu.
Following is a description of each of the available options in the VENU360’s Wizard menu.
Run All Wizards
Select this option to run through all Wizards in succession. Note that there are points where you do have the option to opt out
of the AutoEQ and AFS Wizards if necessary.
