Zoning output channels
The Engineer allows you to assign output channels to up to eight zones. For each zone the volume can be
adjusted, affecting every channel assigned to it. This way, you can separate different regions of your venue and
assign volumes accordingly, using either the software or the remote control (see the remote control chapter
for further information).
Zones can only be assigned when logged in at security level 3. The zoning manager can be accessed from the
zoning tab or direct from each output tab, where a small panel in the bottom left indicates the current
output’s zone.
By default, output channels aren’t assigned to any zone but are shown lined up under “Unassigned Channels”.
To assign an output to any of the zones simply click on the output box and drag and drop to the zone of your
choice. You can quickly and easily make changes by dragging and dropping the boxes between zones or back
down to the “Unassigned channels” area.
To name each zone, click on the zone names down the left side.
To manage each zone’s volume, adjust the zone master gain value. This determines the maximum level for
that zone. The volume control available on the remote can adjust the volume between this value and “off”. It
cannot make the zone louder than your gain setting.
