6—Using the S-4000 System
64 S-4000 Digital Snake Owner’s Manual
Using the S-4000R Remote Controller
When the S-4000R is connected to the S-4000 System, you can:
• control S-4000S input channel functions—including preamp gain, pad, and phantom power.
• monitor signal level status of the system’s input channels—including the presence of signal and
overload (clip).
• monitor the level of the system’s input channels—using the eight-segment LED input meter.
• monitor system status—using the various indicators on the S-4000R panel.
• store and recall—10 different sets of S-4000S channel settings
To facilitate custom labeling for a particular installation or multiple S-4000 Systems, the S-4000S
is shipped from the factory without channel number labels on its input modules. See Appendix B:
Connector Information for an illustration that identifies the S-4000S’s input channels for channel
selection on the S-4000R.
When the S-4000R is connected to a unit set as a Split REAC device, only system and signal level
monitoring is possible. See Chapter 7 for more about split setups.
In the following sections, we’ll show you how to use the S-4000R’s functions. Before proceeding, make
sure that the S-4000R is connected to the S-4000S or S-4000H as described on Page 55.
Lock Mode
The S-4000R has a Lock mode that blocks the editing of S-4000S input
channels. This protects the current channel settings from accidental changes
during a live performance.
• To lock the S-4000R—press LOCK so its indicator lights. When locked,
S-4000S channel settings cannot be adjusted.
• To unlock the S-4000R—press and hold LOCK until its indicator goes out
(approximately 1.5 seconds). When unlocked, S-4000S channel settings
can be adjusted.
When the S-4000R is powered up, it will remember its last Lock mode state (locked or
unlocked).
When the S-4000R is in a locked state, you can still use the CHANNEL knob to select channels
whose signal level you want to monitor with the LED input meter.
