Music Control - IMG STAGELINE LE-504 Manual De Instrucciones

To switch off the unit, disconnect the mains plug from
GB
the socket.
For a more convenient operation it is recommended to
connect the unit to a mains socket which can be
switched on and off via a light switch.

6.1 Music control/

control via the miniature controller LC-3
The DMX input (8) must not be connected if the unit is
music-controlled and if it is controlled via the miniature
controller LC-3 available as an accessory.
A Music control via the microphone (12)
If music of sufficient volume with a clear rhythm in
the bass range is reproduced, an internal light show
depending on the sound is activated. The LED (6)
flashes to the rhythm of the music. Turn up the con-
trol SENSITIVITY (11) for the sensitivity of the
microphone so far clockwise until the unit responds
to the music as desired. When the volume of the
music system is changed, the sensitivity of the
microphone must always be matched accordingly.
B Control via the miniature controller LC-3
1) Connect the miniature controller to the jack ONLY
FOR REMOTE CONTROL (10).
2) With the button MODE (17) select the operating
mode, the LED next to the buttons shows the se-
lected mode:
Programme mode – LED does not light up
In this mode a preprogrammed light show is con-
trolled via the microphone (12). Adjust the sensi-
tivity of the microphone with the control SENSI-
TIVITY (11) [see above, paragraph A]. If the
button FUNCTION (16) is kept pressed, a strobo-
scopic effect depending on the sound is switched
on for all four lamps.
Colour changing mode – LED lights up continuously
By pressing the button FUNCTION (16) another
colour is mixed in each case (32 different possibil-
ities). If the button FUNCTION is kept pressed for
more than 3 seconds, the unit is switched to the
full light mode. To switch back to the colour chang-
ing mode, press the button FUNCTION again.
Dimmer mode – LED flashes
The lamps which are switched on at present are
dimmed by pressing the button FUNCTION (16),
both in direction „bright" and in direction „dark".
Keep the button pressed until the desired bright-
ness is reached.
3) To switch off the lamps, press the button STAND BY
(15): then all four lamps are slowly dimmed (within
5 seconds). As a check the LED next to the button
lights up. After pressing the button again (LED is ex-
tinguished), the lamps switch on again immediately.
6.1.1 Interconnecting several LE-504 units
(master/slave operation)
It is possible to interconnect several units via the XLR
inputs and XLR outputs, in which case one unit oper-
ates as a main unit (master) and the other units as
auxiliary units (slaves). The master unit synchronously
controls all auxiliary units via its microphone or via a
connected miniature controller LC-3.

At the master unit the LED (6) flashes to the rhythm
of the music, however, at the slave units the LEDs con-
tinuously flash quickly.
1) Set the DIP switch No. 10 (7) of the master unit to
ON. However, set the DIP switches No. 10 of the
slave units to the „off" position.
2) Connect the jack DMX OUTPUT (9) of the master
unit via a 3-pole XLR cable (e. g. series MEC-... or
MECN-... from the product range of „img Stage
Line") to the jack DMX INPUT (8) of the first auxil-
iary unit.
3) Connect the jack DMX OUTPUT of the first auxiliary
unit to the jack DMX INPUT of the second auxiliary
unit, etc.
6.2 Operation via a DMX light control unit
For operation via a DMX light control unit (e. g. DMX-
1440 or DMX-120 from "img Stage Line") the LE-504 is
equipped with four channels. The functions and the
exact DMX values can be taken from the table in chap-
ter 9.
1) Connect the jack DMX INPUT (8) via a 3-pole XLR
cable to the DMX output of the light control unit.
For the connection, special cables for high data
flow should be used. The use of standard micro-
phone cables can only be recommended for a total
cable length of up to 100 m. The best transmission
results are obtained with a screened microphone
cable of 2 x 0.25 mm
cable. For cable lengths exceeding 150 m it is rec-
ommended to insert a DMX level matching ampli-
fier (e. g. SR-103DMX from "img Stage Line").
2) Connect the jack DMX OUTPUT (9) to the DMX
input of the next light effect unit. Connect its output
to the input of the following unit etc. until all light
effect units are connected.
3) Terminate the DMX output of the last DMX light
effect unit in the row with a 120 Ω resistor (> 0.3 W):
Solder the resistor to the pins 2 and 3 of an XLR
plug and connect the plug to the DMX output or use
a corresponding terminating plug (e. g. DLT-123
from "img Stage Line").
4) Adjust the DIP switches No. 1 to No. 9 (7) to the
DMX start address which corresponds to the chan-
nel provided for the control of the 1st channel of the
LE-504. The start address results from the addition
of the binary values (1, 2, 4 ... 128, 256) of the DIP
switches which are set to ON, e. g.
– binary values
– DIP switch No.
