95 'PC Control Software' and serial cable provided with the SPM522D.
The PC Control Software provides programs for various ADVANTAGE

products, including the SPM522D. The SPM522D program
includes multiple control screens, which are described on the following pages. Factory default settings are shown on each screen. Once
the software is started (and Comm Port Configuration is set), various screens are accessible through the drop-down menus at the top of
the opening screen. The Mix screen appears whenever an SPM522D file is opened. Additional control screens are then available from the
Configure SPM522D menu. The File menu provides functions such as open, close, save, etc. The Settings menu recalls the Comm Port
Configuration screen. The Window menu arranges the active product screens. The Help menu explains the available adjustments.

MIX SCREEN
The Mix screen is divided into two sections. The left section affects the Main Output and the right section affects the Zone Output.
Adjustments are made with the computer mouse (or keyboard). Levels are adjusted by dragging the corresponding ‘
faders
’ up or down.
Each fader provides thirty-two volume steps. Output level range is -70dB~+11dB in
≈
1.4dB steps (bottom step
≈
40dB). Mic level range is
-66dB~+11dB in
≈
1.2dB steps (bottom step
≈
42dB). Mic 1 & Mic 2 each have independent level adjustment to the Main & Zone Outputs.
Left-clicking
mute
toggles the corresponding signal off & on. Left-clicking
enable
toggles assignment of that mic/line input to the
associated output. Left-clicking
priority
toggles assignment of which mic/line input (if any) will override the other, at the associated output.
Left-clicking Channel
1~5
selects which Stereo Line Input is assigned to the associated output. Left-clicking
ch.5 override allowed
toggles enabling of Channel 5 Override to the associated output (see Override on pg. 3). Left-clicking Preset
A~D
or
E~H
selects which
preset is recalled for the associated output. Left-clicking Preset
Store
provides a pop-up menu for storing the current settings at that
output section to any of the four associated presets. Left-clicking
combine
causes the SPM522D to enter a ‘room combining’ mode, where
Main & Zone sections both recall Preset D, and adjustments made to either Main or Zone settings will affect both
outputs. All eight presets
(A~H) are available in ‘room combining’ mode, and each will affect both outputs. When ‘room combining’ is turned off, Main Preset A &
Zone Preset E are recalled, and adjustments can again be made independently for each output. The title bar at the top of the Mix screen
shows Device #, custom Device Name, & model of product being controlled. The PC Control Software can operate ‘off-line’ (no product
connected) by opening a ‘new’ file for the desired product. The Device # for ‘off-line’ files is assigned sequentially as a negative number.
