PRO2 Live Audio System
Owner’s Manual
Conventions
The following lists the conventions used in this manual.
• Hand symbols, such as, (for pushbutton, trackball, glide pad etc.) and (for
control knob), are used to show the operation of the physical controls on the control
surface. GUI operation is indicated by a pointer, which represents a ‘click’ or
‘drag’ operation.
• The graphics shown right are used to differentiate between diagrams of
the control surface (immediate right) and GUI (far right).
• Unless otherwise stated, illumination of a control (pushbutton, switch, control knob
etc.) on the control surface/GUI of the PRO2 Live Audio System indicates an “on”,
“active” or “enabled” state. Conversely, an extinguished condition indicates the
control is “off”, “inactive” or “disabled”.
• ‘Selecting’ an option on the GUI enables that option, as indicated by a symbol, such
as a tick
3 or cross X. An empty option is unselected (disabled).
• The following types of pushbutton are used on the control surface:
• “switch” - a latching pushbutton, that is, one that changes its on/off status.
• “button” - a non-latching pushbutton.
• Generally, control names are the same whether they are on the control surface or
the GUI. However, in cases where they differ, both names will be given, separated
by a forward slash “/”. The control name shown on the GUI will always be last and
enclosed in square brackets “[]”.
• Hints and tips, which convey useful information to the user, appear where you
see the drawing pin graphic (shown right).
Terminology
To clarify the understanding and use of the digital console and to discriminate between
its analogue equivalent, the terminology has been chosen very carefully (see “Glossary”
on page 553). For a definition of the PRO2’s primary buses, see “Definition of the
primary buses” on page 15.
GUI diagrams
This manual contains numerous diagrams that represent the GUI screen displays. Due
to the many permutations of control settings, operating status, channel configurations
etc., it is inevitable that these diagrams will look slightly different to those on your
control centre.
Anti-aliasing
To make GUI of the PRO2 as crisp, eye-catching and intelligible as possible it
incorporates an anti-aliasing algorithm to ensure the utmost smoothness of straight
lines and curves. Unfortunately, the process of reproducing GUI displays for this
manual has resulted in an inevitable loss of quality, which in some cases has led to a
certain amount of pixelation. Therefore the quality of the actual GUI display on the
PRO2 is not truly reflected here.
