Double-Click Press and release a mouse button twice ({) in rapid succession—usually the left mouse
button.
Download To transfer system settings from the host computer to the IQ components in a system.
Drag Press and hold a mouse button ({)—usually the left mouse button—while moving the mouse.
DRN-16, Drone (IQ–DRN-16) An IQ drone card that plugs into a Crown card cage enabling an unmanned
audio system to function automatically or, if human control is desired, be controlled from a remote location. It can
also serve as an IQ interface for up to two Crown Bus loops.
DSPI The
Data Signal Presence Indicator is an LED (light emitting diode) on each IQ component that flashes
whenever it receives a data signal addressed to it. It can be forced to stay on as a troubleshooting aid to find
breaks in communication. Note: On some IQ components the DSPI is labelled “DATA.”
Duck The Duck Priority function is used to prioritize inputs. Inputs with a lower priority will be automatically
attenuated (ducked) when a higher priority input is used. Together, the Gate and Duck Priority functions provide
sophisticated automatic mixing capability.
Duck Priority Level Sets the duck priority level for an input. The highest priority is 1. The lowest is 6. See
Duck also.
Emergency Mute A feature that quickly silences all IQ components. It is very helpful for panic situations when
the audio must be turned off quickly. It must be enabled in the Control Panel screen.
Engage Activating the system settings by downloading them to the IQ System. The system settings are
automatically engaged when a dataframe file is opened.
Equalizer A device containing a series of filters that enable an audio signal to be adjusted to a desired
magnitude response shape. Often a “flat” or equal-level response is desired.
Exit Close the IQ program. IMPORTANT: Exiting the IQ program does
not automatically save the current
system settings to a dataframe file. They must be saved beforehand by pressing
(.
Expansion Ratio An AMB function parameter that determines how much the output Channel 1 gain will
increase for every increase in ambient signal level over the Threshold setting. For example, a ratio of 4:1 will raise
the output gain 1 dB for every 4 dB that the ambient signal increases above the Threshold.
External Algos An external algo (function) is one that is controlled, in part, by other IQ components. This
feature is available for the SMX-6 mixers and is used to link the Duck Priority and Gate Count functions of several
SMX-6 mixers together.
