Master Controls and Displays
These controls set the general operating
conditions for the desk.
l MODE
The MODE button is used to select the
operational mode of the desk. The red
lights above the button show the current
operating mode (SUPER USER,
PRESET, PROGRAM, RUN).
l GRAND MASTER
The GRAND MASTER fader is used for
overall control of the maximum output
levels from all channels of the desk.
l DBO
The DBO button makes all the desk
outputs zero and operates in all modes
except SUPER USER. Pressing the DBO
button switches between DBO active
(Dead Black Out - all channels at zero)
and DBO not active (normal desk
outputs). The red light in the DBO button
indicates the current state (Flashing =
DBO active, Off = DBO not active).
l DMX OUT OK
This light is illuminated when the desk is
transmitting digital data.
l WIDE
The WIDE button is used to
select/deselect WIDE operation. When in
WIDE, the desk is a single preset 24
channel desk, rather than a two preset 12
channel desk. With WIDE selected it is

scenes (see section on Preset Mode for
details). When WIDE is selected the red
light in the button is illuminated.
l FLASH ON/OFF
The FLASH ON/OFF button is used to
enable/disable the CHANNEL FLASH
buttons. When the FLASH FUNCTION is
active, the red light in the button is
illuminated and the CHANNEL FLASH
buttons are enabled.
