Input Channel Features - Peavey Architectural Acoustics PZS 140RA Mode D'emploi

"Hold" is the time interval between
the last detectable (set by the
TRIGGER control) audio signal and
the release point of the ducking
circuit. The HOLD control adjusts
the release point, increasing or
decreasing the hold time interval.

Input Channel Features

Each input Channel of the PZS
status functions. In addition, channels 1 and 2 include additional
TRIGGER and HOLD controls as well as MUTE LEDs to indicate the
status of the page ducking feature.
ASSIGN - Momentary push button, used in conjunction with the Zone
Assign button, assigns the input Channel to any combination output
zones. See page 17 for information on zone assignment and
configuration.
ZONE - Single-color, green LEDs indicate Channel to Zone assignment.
The input Channel is routed to an output bus when the corresponding
ZONE LED is illuminated.
MUTE - (Channels 1 & 2 only) Red LED indicates that the Mute bus is
active. When input Channel 1 or 2 is active, all other channels will be
muted or ducked, depending on the position of the TRIGGER and HOLD
controls.
HIGH - Rotary control adjusts the level of the Channel's high frequency
filter. The filter center is at 10 kHz. The control adjusts the filter
amplitude from unity (0) to either -10 dB or +10 dB.
LOW - Rotary control adjusts the level of the Channel's low frequency
filter. The filter center is at 100 Hz. The control adjusts the filter
amplitude from unity (0) to either -10 dB or +10 dB.
LEVEL - Rotary control adjusts Channel input level. The level control is
active after the first gain stage, just before the EQ section.
TRIGGER - (Channels 1 & 2 only) Recessed rotary control adjusts the
audio level required (threshold) to activate the internal ducking/muting
circuit. Adjusting this control clockwise decreases the level required to
activate the ducking/muting circuit. To bypass the ducking/muting
feature, place this control in the maximum counter-clockwise position.
HOLD - (Channels 1 & 2 only) Recessed rotary control adjusts the
release time of the ducking/muting circuit. Adjusting this control
clockwise will increase the time required for the ducking circuit to
release.
SIGNAL - Green LED indicates audio input signal level. The LED
monitors input signal after the first gain stage, just before the LEVEL
control. The LED will illuminate green when the signal level is above
-20 dBu.
