LCD Contrast is more useful
than you might think — espe-
cially if you do gigs in daylight
hours…or VERY dark clubs.
Level Meter Mode determines
how the main LED ladder dis-
plays signals.
Normal shows all of
the LEDs from -15 to
the maximum signal.
This is the convention-
al display mode.
Slow and Fast are how
quickly the display re-
acts to musical peaks.
Peak just shows the
highest level at any
moment. This can be
handy when you have
a lot of other things to
look at.
It concentrates the
display where it is
most important —
the highest musical impulses and
how close they are to overload.
Analyzer Mode. Although "nei-
ther fish nor fowl", the the An-
alyzer is definitely a key part of
the SoundLink digital section. It
gives you a visual display of how
much energy there is in each of
bands of the audio spectrum.
Normally, it monitors Main L/R
output, which can give you a pic-
ture of your outgoing signal to
the PA. Connect a measurement
microphone and the display
can show you how the room is
"reacting" to the PA. Feedback
can be fixed. Bass response can
be made less boomy.
Slow and Fast Normal and
Slow and Fast Peak definitely be-
have differently. The Spectrum
Analyzer in Fast mode reacts
so quickly that it might not be
useful in locating "bumps" and
"dips" in the overall response. If
that is the case, switch to Slow.
Now we're in the "Danger!
Danger! Warning! Warning!"
thermo-nuclear section. Use
these options carefully.
Clear User Memory clears all
user memories and scene memo-
ries of each effect.
Reset to Default resets the pan-
el settings of the digital section
to their default state.
The user memories and
scene memories of each
eect are not erased.
Factory Reset returns this unit
to its factory default condition.
All memory is erased. It's like a
Neuralizer in Men in Black.
System Update executes a sys-
tem update for this unit.
