To set up External Submasters, go to the SUBMASTER screen by pressing the [SUB] screen
key.
Set the Submaster Ext(ernal) field as follows:
1. Use the trackball to move to the Ext field of the Submaster to change.
2. Use the wheel (or the [+] or [-] keys) to change its value (1 - 12 or OFF).
External Submasters are not indicated in the Submaster window of the LIVE screen.
On the Console Setup Screen screen, external Submasters can have their top level adjusted
by an External Subs Scaling factor between 80% and 120%. Scaling allows you to
compensate for any variations in signal levels between your console and the external
equipment to which you are connected.
External Submaster fader levels are combined with the console Submaster fader levels on a
HTP (Highest Takes Precedence) basis.
Setting Up External Submasters as a Macro Trigger
If a Submaster has been configured as a macro trigger, then only an external volt-free switch
contact (such as MIDI, RS232, RS485, audio; perhaps a ‘click’ track, or via an approved digital
input card) is required since a +10v supply pin is provided on the Analogue Input connector.
This facility could be used to allow a stage manager to control house lights, or to trigger any
macro, or to run a cue remotely.
To set up, go to the SUBMASTER screen and set the relevant Submaster Ext field the same
as for External Submasters.
1. [SUB] Go to SUBMASTER screen
2. Press [SHIFT] and move the trackball or mouse
3. Use the trackball to move to the Ext field of the Submaster to change
4. Use the wheel or the [+] or [-] keys select the external channel, 1 - 12 or OFF
5. Next, set the Macro field to the macro number you wish to associate with this external
Submaster.
6. Use the trackball to move to the Macro field of the Submaster.
7. Use the wheel or the [+] or [-] keys or enter the number to change it to the macro
number.
