Processing & Parameters
3.4 Dance Mode
Dance Mode is used to switch between using the PA system in a dance club environment
(Dance Mode) or for karaoke use (Sing Mode). When Dance Mode is turned on, the subwoofer
can be enhanced for dance club use. This feature makes it very easy to use the live sound
system for both purposes.
Dance Mode can either be engaged manually or automatically. The Dance Mode Timer allows
you to automatically engage Dance Mode after a period when the microphones are not used.
Dance Mode Parameters
Dance Mode contains the following parameters:
• Sub Dance Mode (Auto, Sing, Dance) - This parameter selects whether the system
is optimized for karaoke (Sing Mode), dance club use (Dance Mode), or is automatic
(Auto).
1. Auto: Turns Dance Mode on whenever the microphone signal level drops below
the Sub Dance Sensitivity parameter for a given amount of time (the time is set
by the Sub Dance Time parameter). When the microphone signal level is once
again present and exceeds the Sub Dance Sensitivity parameter, the system will
automatically switch back to Sing Mode, for karaoke use.
2. Sing: Manually turns Sing Mode on (for karaoke use)
3. Dance: Manually turns Dance Mode on (for dance club use).
• Sub Dance Time (0 ms - 2 sec) - This parameter adjusts how long it takes for Dance
Mode to switch from Sing Mode to Dance Mode after a period of inactivity at the mic
inputs. This parameter is only active when the Dance Mode parameter is set to Auto.
• Sub Dance Sensitivity (-60 dB - +3 dB) - When Sub Dance Mode is set to Auto,
this parameter sets the microphone threshold. When the mic level falls below this
‘Sensitivity’ parameter (or threshold), Sub Dance Mode will countdown the Sub Dance
Time (if set above 0 ms) then automatically switch from Sing Mode to Dance Mode.
• Sub Dance Volume (-30 dB - +6 dB) - This parameter sets the subwoofer level when
Dance Mode is engaged.
• Sub Sing Volume (-30 dB - +6 dB) - This parameter sets the subwoofer level when
Sing Mode is engaged.
3.5 Driver Alignment Delay
Driver Alignment Delay is available on the Left/Right, Center and Subwoofer outputs. It is
used to time align the signal from the various speakers so that all loudspeaker signals arrive
at the audience at approximately the same time, thereby reducing phase issues.
Delay Parameters
Delay contains the following parameter:
• Delay (0 ms - 40 ms) - This parameter sets how much delay will be applied to the
selected output.
