AUDIO INPUT
If desired you can connect the audio input to a line level output from a mixing console or an
audio preamp. Do not connect this to a power amp or any speaker level source.
If there is an audio signal present at the audio input jack, you can sync any currently running
show to it by pressing the “AUDIO” button located on the front panel. Its LED will illuminate
when engaged.
The audio input sensitivity can be adjusted by altering the “LEVEL” adjustment pot on the rear
panel of the unit.
The audio input works in both modes of operation, preprogrammed light show and replay
controller.
Please note if the “AUDIO” button is turned on and there is no audio signal. The ‘show’ will be
static; the lights will not move because they are ‘waiting’ for an audio input.
MIDI INPUT
The MIDI input jack on the rear panel is used specifically for the uploading new lightshows via
another CP-3, or a CP-10xt or through the use of a personal computer with MIDI SYSX
capability. Lightshows for the latter can be downloaded from the Elektralite website.
(SYSX files are Midi system exclusive files).
SUGGESTED FIXTURE
ARRAYS
The pre-programs within the CP-3 are constructed in a way, which allows for flexible
placement of the lighting fixtures within the venue. While creativity is best left in the hands of the
users, we have listed some suggestions of fixture placements. Please see the following:
(Please note the fixture arrays only apply in the preprogrammed light show mode. The lights
in the replay controller mode would be positioned exactly as per how the program was
created using a CP-10xt).
