Model 59 Operating
Parameters
Many StudioComm for Surround functions
can be configured to meet the exact needs
of your installation. Here’s an overview of
what you can configure:
• Input channels active for each of the
inputs
• Monitor output channels active
• Insert operation
• Monitor output mode
• Power-up mute mode
• Channels selected for bypass and
bypass mode
• Reference level
• Dim level
• Remote contact inputs and level control
The Model 59 Configuration Charts,
located at the end of this section, give
details on how each configuration param-
eter is set. An overview of the parameters
is provided in the following paragraphs.
Entering the Configuration Mode
A small button is located on the back of
the Model 59 Control Console, adjacent
to the 9-pin D-sub connector. Pressing
and holding this button for two seconds
places the Model 59 into the configuration
mode. In the configuration mode the
buttons and LEDs no longer perform their
normal function, but instead allow you to
observe and change many of the operat-
ing parameters. The mute/solo mode
LEDs light alternately to indicate that the
configuration mode is active. Once again
pressing and holding the configure button
returns the Model 59 to normal operation.
Note that configuration changes are stored
only after the configuration mode is exited
by pressing and holding the button.
Our apologies to those of you who find the
configure button a pain to use, but it’s
supposed to be that way! Seriously, the
top of the button is slightly recessed from
