CONTROL
Group Control (continued)
Double clicking on the Group icon will open the Con-
nect Properties folder. Notice that the Group Connect
window shown here is very similar to the one for indi-
vidual loudspeakers except for the lack of level meters
and CobraNet channel selection facilities.
In the dark grey area on the left are Power, Wink with
Light and Wink with Audio buttons. These tools are
similar to those in a Loudspeaker Properties window,
but of course they “Wink’ the front grill lights of all the
loudspeakers in the Group, or send an audio signal
(sine wave signal or pink noise) to all of them.
The Power button puts all ampliers in the Group in
Standby or turns all of them On. The Input Volume
control and Mute button also affect all ampliers in the
Group. Group metering is not available.
The Input selection radio buttons in the light grey area
operate in the same way these controls operate for
individual loudspeakers, but control all loudspeakers
in the Group.
A Group Control mode window is identical to the one
used for individual loudspeakers except for the lack of
level meters and the addition of a row of Group Assign
boxes under the EQ lters.
When the Group Assign boxes are checked, Group
EQ and dynamics settings override individual loud-
speaker settings – that is, the settings you dene in
the Group window will be uploaded to all loudspeak-
ers in the Group. Any EQ lters you do not assign to
Group control will be available within each individual
loudspeaker’s properties folder.
Whenever you assign an EQ lter or the Compres-
sor to Group-level control,a Warning prompt pops up
to remind you that you will be overwriting individual
loudspeaker settings.
These controls will be “grayed out” in the individual
loudspeaker Properties windows to show that they are
under Group control and unavailable.
All Loudspeakers functions in the same fashion as
Group control, except it includes all loudspeakers in
the system in the Group.
