Pressing the Sub button twice while in setup mode disengages the subwoofer for that
speaker, indicated by the Sub LED extinguishing. The Low Pass Filter is disengaged the
same way. If this all sounds complicated, it really is easier to sit down with the remote
and plug around with the buttons for a few minutes. It will all become easy after messing
with the system.
Remember to hold the setup button to exit and store the configuration and gain changes.
If the memory becomes completely and hopelessly entangled (yours or the systems), one
can reset the system to factory defaults by simultaneously holding the PPI and LFE mute
buttons and then letting go.
Talkback Setup (Speaker Dim and Aux input enable)
The talkback function can be programmed to dim the main speaker level (producer’s
talkback) or not (conductor’s talkback). The factory default mode is for producer’s
talkback. Enter Setup mode and hold the Talkback button. Press the Dim button to toggle
between modes and exit setup to store your choice. The Talkback Remote jack on the rear
panel engages conductor’s talkback only. The Aux input can be enabled with talkback to
set up a ‘listen back’ microphone for the control room for 2 way communications or to
provide Muzak to sooth the guitar player as you berate him for the amount of editing it
will take to get his part right.
Adding a small “pocket mixer” to the Aux Input can be a convenient way to patch and
mix signals into the ST system. The mixer can set the Listen Back mic level, the
computer cue (headphone out) level, and still have inputs left over for a click track and
other signals.
The PPI function
The PPI button does toggle during normal use and is the ubiquitous Producer
Pacification Indicator. It is used for situations where the producer wants just one more
change to a mix that you think is perfect. You look him in the eye and say, “Do you like
it like this… or This (while pressing the PPI button)”. The annoying producer will usually
pick one of the conditions (blue light on for This mix) and you can print the mix as you
had it and move on…
Quick Mute Cancel
Pressing the Setup button briefly (not long enough to engage Setup Mode) will cancel any
mutes that may be toggled on.
