Single array systems can be monitored either with their icon or by viewing the vertical control pane section in one of their property win-
dows. You may have noticed that the vertical control pane is the same in all three of the Properties windows
A detailed description of the vertical control panel’s features and functions follows.
Status Indicators: The Thermal, Peak and Fail indicators above the output meter provide critical information on the array’s status. The
Peak indicator will flash yellow or red whenever the device’s peak limiter is triggered. It’s normal for the indicator to flash occasionally if
the loudspeaker is being used close to its rated output. Flashing frequently is a sign that the system volume needs to be turned down. The
Thermal indicator will start to flash yellow as the amplifier temperature approaches a preset level and will turn red if the temperature contin-
ues to increase as a warning the amplifier is about to be shut down. The Fail indicator glows red when the amplifier has been shut down by
the protective circuitry. Heat related shutdowns will reset automatically after the amplifier cools down to a safe temperature.
As a further protective measure, the amplifier’s gain will gradually be reduced in response to overheating and/or to a high an input level.
However, it’s best to manually reduce the input signal level (overall system volume) in response to distress signals.
Power Button: Note that the Power button will not show while operating in the virtual world. It appears only when associated with an
actual array.
Listing of the loudspeakers model number.
Power button switches the amplifier(s) be-
tween On and Standby. (turning AC power
on and off is an entirely manual operation).
Input signal level bar graph; “0” indicates
the onset of input clipping. Analog inputs
clip at +12 dBu without the 10 dB input
pad, +24 dBu with the pad.
Volume control slider; adjust by grabbing
slider with mouse or by using up/down
arrows .Settings adjustable from “0” to -50
in 1 dB steps, then to -100 dB in one step;
settings below -8 dB prevent the loud-
speaker from reaching full output.
Inv. button inverts the input signal polarity;
glows green when signal is inverted. Use
with caution.

Text fields for entering a name for the
loudspeaker and listing its location.
Press Wink with Light button to turn the
loudspeaker’s wink light on and off to aid in
identifying the loudspeaker and its location.
Press Wink with Audio to send a Tone
signal or Pink Noise to the loudspeaker.
Output status indicators for each amplifier.
See Status Indicators below for details.
Output bar graph. “0” represents the
maximum uncompressed output level;
positive values indicate how far the signal
is overshooting into limiting; negative
values indicate the amount of headroom
left before the onset of limiting.
Mute button mutes the entire loudspeaker.
Press to restart the loudspeakers DSP in
the event of a malfunction.
