Setting up Zones
A total of 28 zones are available, arranged in groups of four, accessible using the green ‘Zone Group’ buttons. Zone
groups may be named by pressing the ‘Name Zone Groups’ button. To set up a zone, start by assigning the required
outputs from any unit to the zone. This is achieved by selecting the unit by pressing its button. This will display the device
zone assign window shown below.
In this example the eight outputs on the selected DP448 are displayed. The slider displayed is the output gain control for
that individual channel. The window directly beneath this is the actual gain of that channel. Directly below the mute
button is another window showing the effective gain of that channel with respect to all zones that it is included in. So, for
example if the channel is included in three zones with gains of +6dB, -12dB and +3dB, the effective gain window would
show - 3dB (sum of 6 – 12 + 3).
The small panels in a column down the left of each slider are the zone assignment shortcuts – pressing on one of these will
include/exclude it from a zone. Inclusion is marked by a green number. These shortcuts may be thought of as operating in
a similar manner to VCA group assignment buttons on a mixing desk.
This is a shortcut area to the first twenty-four zones – the entire set
of twenty-eight zones is accessible by pressing the ‘Zone’ button
below the effective gain window.
