CHAPTER 2
The SIM 3 Hardware
NOTE: Addressing for line switchers and microphone switchers are handled
separately, hence the address for any line switcher does not need to be
different from the address of any microphone switcher.
2.2.1.2. Mute Safe Switch
This recessed switch controls the speaker mute capability of the SIM-3088 line switcher.
If the switch is set to “Enabled,” the switcher will be able to mute on any of the processor
channels (To Speakers) via SIM 3 software (in the selected channel located on the right side
of the screen under the “Speakers” tab). Multiple channels can be muted simultaneously.
Each mute LED on the front panel indicates the status of its channel, and turns red when the
channel is muted.
If the switch is set to “safe,” its muting capabilities are completely disabled. The status of this
switch is detected by the software; it is noted in the setup panel and in the speaker control
area.
NOTE: The safe position actually turns off power to the muting relays, making
it impossible for them to be muted. The line switcher will pass signal even if
the bus cable is disconnected and there is no power to the unit at all.
CAUTION: Always switch to safe mode during a performance to avoid any
accidental muting of the system.
The switch is recessed to avoid any accidental switching and can be toggled using a small
screwdriver or a pen.
