Rocktron Utopia B300 - Manual (Page 25)

25
The first function displayed after turning the FUNCTION SELECT knob is the Global function. The
parameters provided in this function affect all presets (i.e. the settings stored for these parameters are the
same for all presets).
The PARAMETER SELECT knob will allow you to access these Global parameters:
6. GLOBAL Function
The OUTPUT parameter determines whether the output of the UTOPIA B300 is
a stereo (left and right) signal or two mono signals.
This Speaker EXCITERr parameter under the Global function allows you to
globally (all presets) set the Speaker Exciter into the following modes:
UNLOCK - Bypasses the Speaker Exciter on all presets leaving the outputs full
range.
LOCKOFF - If you have the Speaker Exciter "ON" in the Speaker Exciter Func-
tion the Speaker Exciter will turn on when that preset is selected.
LOCK L (LEFT OUTPUT) - Locks the Speaker Exciter "ON" in the LEFT
OUTPUT and leaves the Right OUTPUT full range. Allows you to use the left
output for direct recording or direct to a PA and the right output to your amp at
the same time to perform live.
LOCK B (BOTH OUTPUTS) - Locks the Speaker Exciter "ON" in both Left and
Right Outputs. This is the ideal setting to use when using headphones.
The HUSH OFFSET parameter allows you to globally (all presets) adjust the
HUSH ® Expander Threshold. This means that if this parameter is altered from
0(dB) to +3(dB), the Expander Threshold will be 3dB higher for all presets. This
feature can be useful when switching from a quiet bass with passive electronics
to a noisy bass with active electronics, as the active bass would require a higher
Threshold level in all presets.
The *MASTER VOLUME has a range from -40dBu to +6dBu. This control
adjusts the overall volume of the output and is extremely useful in adjusting the
volume in headphones.
*Note: When the preset title is being displayed the PARAMETER ADJUST con-
trol will provide instant access to modify the MASTER VOLUME anytime.
