WARNING and EVACUATION messages

The WARNING and EVACUATION messages can

messages, when they are activated, they are

Both the desks and the amplifiers in the OPTIMAX
series have two internal memories in which files
can be stored for subsequent use as pre-recorded
messages:
MP3 circuit memory, for files in MP3 format
Coldfire flash memory, for files in WAV format.
This configuration establishes which memory the
desk is to access in order to search for the
evacuation or warning message, and what the
content of each of these messages is.
1. Press OK to access the main menu.
2. Select ADVANCED and press OK.
3. Select MESSAGES and press OK.

message that you wish to assign and press
OK.

messages in the memory, message 1 in the MP3
memory of the desk is automatically assigned to
the EVACUATION button and message 2 in the
MP3 memory of the desk is assigned to the
WARNING button.
