Front Panel - Ecler DAM514 Notice D'utilisation

4. FRONT PANEL

INPUT 1 minijack connector
INPUT 1 has a duplicate input connector, for the convenience of use: dual RCA on the back
panel and stereo minijack on the front panel.
INPUT keys
The INPUT1 to INPUT5 keys allow you to enable/disable each input for the output zone currently
displayed on the LCD (ZA, ZB, ZC or ZD). The active inputs are mixed and sent to the destination zones,
after a DSP processing that have been adjusted in the unit (volumes, tone adjustment, PAGER /
DUCKER type priorities, etc.).
To enable or disable inputs for a given zone:
1. Briefly press one of the four A, B, C or D ZONE keys to select the zone
2. The LCD will display the selected zone in its upper left corner (ZA, ZB, ZC or ZD)
3. The backlit INPUT keys 1 to 5 will show the inputs that are enabled for this zone (lit =
enabled)
4. Briefly press any of the INPUT keys to enable/disable the corresponding input for this
zone
Note: the INPUT 4 and 5 keys are linked if you select the stereo mode for inputs 4 and 5: they
simultaneously light up and off when pressing one of them, indicating that this is a stereo pair in
which both will receive the same processing for level, EQ, etc.
The INPUT 1 to INPUT 5 keys, in combination with the digital encoder SHIFT function (press and
hold encoder + IN key) also provide access to the input setup menu (see chapter 7).
OUTPUT keys
These four keys, one for each of the outputs (ZONE A, B, C or D), allow you to:
 Short press: select an output zone to be displayed on the LCD (zone indication, ZA, ZB,
ZC, ZD + a horizontal bar indicating the output volume) and adjusted (volume, enabled
input selection, etc.)
 Long press (> 2 seconds): enable/disable the MUTE feature of an output. The LED
integrated in the key itself indicates the status of its MUTE function (lit red = MUTE ON).
You can press multiple keys simultaneously to enable/disable their MUTE function
Notes:

The 1&2 and/or 3&4 keys are linked if you select the stereo mode for any pair of outputs:
they simultaneously light up and off when enabling/disabling their MUTE mode, indicating
that this is a stereo pair in which both will receive the same processing for level, EQ, etc.

The DAM514 automatically manages the routing of mono or stereo inputs to mono or
stereo outputs:
o A mono input is directly sent to a mono output, with its corresponding adjustment
of send or mixing level, which is independent of the levels for the other inputs or
outputs
