12. Password prompt when entering Surface Lock
To avoid problems if the user locks the surface while an unknown password is set, the system now
prompts you to enter the password before entering surface lock mode.
13. GEQ touchscreen fader encoder control
You can now touch a fader on the screen to highlight its frequency and use the rotary encoder to
adjust its setting. The last selected frequency remains highlighted as you select different mixes, a
useful feature if you want to keep a problem frequency in view and have instant encoder control as
you select different mixes.
14. GEQ readout available using ALT VIEW key
While in GEQ on Faders mode you can press and hold the ALT VIEW key to display the current cut or
boost levels in dB for each frequency band on the strip LCDs.
15. Temperature reading in degree C or F option
The UTILITY / Preferences screen adds an option to select the temperature display in degree Celsius
or Fahrenheit.
16. Option added for TALK switch to be momentary or latching
A latched mode may be set in the UTILITY / Preferences page. This is useful when you are working
with a switched microphone or want single handed operation using a hand held mic.
17. Option added to select the Talkback signal source
The MIXRACK / Talkback screen includes a Source page to select the Talkback device and settings.
Choose from the surface Talkback mic, a MixRack or Surface preamp, or an ESA or ESB channel
using the pull down menu. GAIN, PAD and 48V phantom power controls are provided if a preamp is
selected. For example, this allows the Surface analogue TALKBACK OUT to feed the talkback
system via a MixRack input if EtherSound is not fitted to the Surface.
18. Talkback settings now stored in Shows
Talkback preferences including the talkback source, operating mode and assignments are stored in
the Show memories.
19. User Profiles have been removed from Shows
To avoid the possibility of a guest user leaving a venue with a show loaded with their own passwords,
the User Profiles are no longer stored in these memories. Instead they remain with the console.
Ensure you keep a record of any passwords set as restoring a system with a lost password resets all
its parameters.
20. Range select when patching output sockets
For quicker patching you can now select a range of sockets within the OUTPUTS patchbay to map to
an ascending range of similar types of output source. This is similar to Block select when assigning
surface strips.
