Head Amp Control

The SB168-ES head ampliﬁers can be remotely controlled from host devices such as a compatible digital mixing

console or digital mixing engine (see page 169), or from the AVS-ESMonitor application.

The SB168-ES head ampliﬁers can be controlled from a compatible digital mixing console. In order to control the head ampli-

ﬁers from a digital mixing console, select control via an MY16-ES64 in the Quick Setup Head Amp Controller ﬁeld.

Each SB168-ES unit will be represented by two AD8HR units (AD8HR #1, AD8HR #2, etc.) on the digital mixing console dis-

play, and the SB168-ES parameters can be controlled in the same way as AD8HR parameters. Furthermore, scene recall can be

used to recall all head ampliﬁer settings at once.

Refer to the digital mixing console owner’s manual for details on head ampliﬁer control.

• SB168-ES error messages are not shown on the digital mixing console display, and EtherSound

parameters cannot be set from the digital mixing console. Use the AVS-ESMonitor software application

for these functions.

The AVS-ESMonitor application can be used both to set EtherSound parameters and control the SB168-ES head ampliﬁers. To

control the head ampliﬁers from the AVS-ESMonitor application, either select AVS-ESMonitor in the Quick Setup Head Amp

Controller ﬁeld or perform the setup procedure described below and a Head Amp page will be added to the AVS-ESMonitor

interface.

1. Select the SB168-ES to be controlled in the tree views.

• If multiple SB168-ES units are to be controlled, repeat the procedure described below for each one.

2. Select [Slave] in the Serial Communication mode section.

Check each Control page and make sure that no other EtherSound device is

assigned to transmit to this SB168-ES unit. If the SB168-ES is selected, tempo-

rarily switch to the [Slave] setting.

3. Check the [Head Amp PC Remote Control] Checkbox.

A Head Amp tab will appear.
