AEQ FORUM 
Digital audio mixer for broadcast applications

The four options visible on the last line of the display are associated with the four contextual 
keys below, from left to right: 
• “BACK”: returns to the previous menu screen. 
• “SET”: enables you to access to the date and time configuration menu. When you 
access to this menu, the time configuration is available (a flashing arrow is displayed 
next to the current time) by means of using the 3 rotatory encoders (turning the first one 
allows you to change the hour, the second one the minutes and the third one the 
seconds). 
When you press the “DATE” contextual key, you access to the date configuration 
menu (the flashing arrow changes its position and the “DATE” changes to “TIME”): by 
pressing the first encoder you can change between day of the week and day of the 
month and by turning it allows you to change the selected option; you can configure the 
month by turning the second encoder and the year by turning the third one. 
Once date and time are configured, you can press the “SET” key in order to save the 
changes and return to the previous screen or the “BACK” key in order to return to that 
screen without changes saving. 
• “CDOWN”: lets you configure and activate the AEQ FORUM Countdown option through 
the associated rotary encoders. The format on screen is HOURS:MINUTES:SECONDS. 
You can configure the hours by turning the first encoder, the minutes by turning the 
second one and the seconds by turning the third one. The “START” contextual key 
launches the countdown, the “STOP” key (the same key that changes its function) 
brings it to a stop, and the “RESET” key re-establishes the initially configured value 
(even when the countdown is launched). The “BACK” key allows you to return to the 
previous screen (it also stops the countdown and re-establishes the initial value).
