Mute Group and DCA functions
Mute Group function
o This unit has 8 mute groups.
o Mute groups allow the muting state of a group of modules
assigned to it to be turned on/off together. However, if MUTE
for a module was set to ON before MUTE was set to ON for
the mute group, MUTE will stay ON for that module when the
group MUTE is set to OFF.
o The MUTE indicators will blink for modules muted as part of
a mute group.
o The following can be used to operate mute groups.
i MUTE GROUP MASTER page
i USER KEY/FOOTSWITCH/GPIO-IN controls assigned to
the Mute Group function (See “USER DEFINED CONTROLS
screen” on page 42.)
NOTE
The Mute Group function is assigned to the following by
default on the User Key and GPIO-IN pages.
i USER KEY 1–4 (Mute Group 1–4)
i GPIO-IN 1–5 (Mute Group 1–5)
DCA (Digital Control Amplifier) functions
o This unit has 8 DCAs.
o A DCA enables simultaneously adjusting the levels of a group
of assigned modules while maintaining the balance of their
fader levels. For example, if two modules assigned to a DCA
have fader levels of -10 dB and -15 dB, when the DCA module
FADER level is raised 5 dB, their fader levels will increase from
-10 dB to -5 dB and -15 dB to -10 dB. In this case, the physical
fader positions of the assigned faders will not change.
o DCA module MUTE keys function the same way as Mute
Groups. The MUTE indicators will blink for modules muted in
DCA modules.
o Like mute groups, DCA module SOLO keys, allow the solo
state of a group of modules assigned to it to be turned on/off
together. However, if SOLO for a module was set to ON before
SOLO was set to ON for the DCA module, SOLO will stay ON
for that module when the DCA module SOLO is set to OFF.
o The SOLO indicators will blink for modules that have SOLO
turned on in DCA modules.
o DCAs are operated by faders and MUTE and SOLO keys
assigned to DCA layers and DCA modules.
o One DCA can also be assigned to another DCA (DCA
assignment nesting). The following DCA assignments,
however, are not possible.
i Self-assignment (for example, DCA 1 cannot be assigned
to DCA 1)
i Assignment of a DCA that is at a higher level (For example,
if DCA 1 is above DCA 2, which is above DCA 3, in the
structure, DCA 1 cannot be assigned to DCA 2, and DCA 1
and DCA 2 cannot be assigned to DCA 3.)
DCA modules that cannot be assigned have frames around
their module button areas (4).
