• VCAs — Pressing any of the VCA buttons will prevent access to the corresponding VCA in the mix
selector. They will appear grayed out and cannot be selected.
• Matrix — Pressing any of the matrix buttons will prevent access to the corresponding matrix
in the mix selector. They will appear grayed out and cannot be selected. If either side of a linked
matrix is access limited, the stereo matrix will be grayed out in the mix selector.
• Input DSP — When engaged, you will not be able to access the input channel views for EQ, gate
and compressor. If the FX limit is also engaged, you will not be able to access the input channel view
at all and the EQ curve of each channel will be grayed out. If input routing is also engaged, you will
not be able to access the input routing view at all and the input routing button at the top of each
channel will be grayed out.
• Output DSP — When engaged, the you will not be able to access the output channel views
for parametric EQ, graphic EQ and compressor / limiter. Additionally, the PEQ/GEQ curve will
be grayed out. If output routing is also engaged, you will not be able to access the output routing
view at all and the output routing button at the top of the master fader will be grayed out.
• Input Routing — Engaging the input routing button will prevent access to the input routing view
for all input channels, return channels [DL32R], iPad channel [DL1608 / DL806], FX channels,
subgroup channels and VCA channels. They will appear grayed out and cannot be selected.
• Output Routing — Engaging the output routing button will prevent access to the output routing
view for the main L/R, all auxes, all FX, all subgroups, all VCAs and all matrix channels [DL32R].
They will appear grayed out and cannot be selected.
• Mic Preamps — With the mic preamps access limits button engaged, only the state of the mic preamp
functions [48v, gain, trim and polarity] cannot be changed. Input routing (and each channel’s source
selection and assignments) may still be accessed and changed. [Tap the input routing button to limit
access to those functions, in addition to the mic preamps].
• Mute / Solo / Channel ID — These buttons will limit access to the corresponding channel controls
and gray them out.
• Presets / Shows — These buttons will limit access to the preset and/or show screens and gray out
the corresponding button.
• Mute Groups / View Groups / Group Assign — These buttons will limit access to the corresponding
group controls and gray them out. That’s the short version. Let’s take a closer look at these three
access limits in detail, starting with group assign.
• Group Assign — Once the user has congured the channels assigned to the mute and
view groups, enable the group assign limit to prevent any changes to those assignments.
The band will still be able to enable and disable mute masters and view groups, but they
won’t be able to make changes to the mute and view select group assignments. Slick!
• Mute Groups — Enabling the mute groups limit button will prevent access to the mute
group masters. This is useful for when FOH may need to use mute groups for the show,
but they don’t want the band members accidentally (or purposefully!) enabling a mute
group with their iOS device.
• View Groups — Enabling the view groups limit button will prevent access to the
view group selects. After assigning channels to the various view groups, select the
corresponding view group on each band member’s iOS device and enable the view
groups access limits button so the band members can only view what channels pertain
to them. It’s foolproof...even for the lead singer! Hard to believe, but it’s true.
See pages 49-54, 57-60 for more information about mute groups and view groups.
• Masters — Pressing the masters buttons will prevent access to the masters selector. It will appear
grayed out and cannot be selected.
