8.3 DCA/Mute Groups
Touch the DCA/Mute Assign block to show assignments for the selected channel.
Digitally Controlled Amplifiers (DCA’s) control the send levels and mutes of multiple
channels with a single fader and mute key.
Mute groups are used to mute multiple channels using a single SoftKey.
Touch ‘Assign’ buttons to assign or unassign the selected channel to DCA’s or
Mute Groups.
Touch the ‘View’ buttons to see all channels currently assigned to that DCA or
Mute Group at once.
Touch and drag up and down in a ‘View window to see all channels.
Channels can be assigned or unassigned by touching assignment buttons.
Touch the DCA/Mute Assign ‘blocks’ to return to the selected channel
assignments view.
In both ‘Processing’ and ‘Routing’ screens, DCA channels display a list of up to 28
channel ‘Members’ (channels assigned to that DCA). If there are more members than
this, then ‘…’ will appear at the bottom of the list.
Touch anywhere on a DCA member list to view and assign or unassign channels.
DCA’s are for control only, and do not sum or carry signal, and therefore do not have
processing or metering functionality.
Pressing the PAFL key on a DCA fader strip is the equivalent of using additive PAFL on
every member of the DCA. When engaged, PAFL keys of the DCA members will flash.
When muting DCA’s or Mute Groups, the mute keys of the assigned channels will flash.
If a channel is also muted independently, the duration of illumination will change to
indicate this.
The ‘DCA Spill’ feature allows you to ‘spill’ DCA members across the channel strips. See
the DCA Spill section for more information.
