In sound activated mode, the LEDs of the device will synchronize with the music through the built-in
microphone.
To set the device to sound mode:

2. Press MENU until <SND> is displayed and press ENTER.
3. You can set the sensitivity of the internal microphone with the knob on the back panel.

Master/Slave Mode
Notes
The master/slave mode allows for connecting several devices to a single master device in a daisy chain.
All slave devices will then work synchronously with the master device.
Configure all slave units before connecting the master unit to the daisy chain.
The maximum number of slave units you can connect to a master unit is 31.
Slave units:
1. Unplug any connection from the DMX input of the master device (the first device in the chain).
2. On the master device, press MENU to select a DMX personality: 3-CH or 15-CH.
3. Press ENTER to confirm.
4. Use UP and DOWN to set the DMX address to 1.
5. Repeat these steps for all slave units.
Master unit
1. Set the master unit to work in Auto or Sound Activated mode (see above).
2. Connect the master unit as the first unit in the chain.
9.5
DMX Mode
The DMX mode allows you to control the device with any universal DMX controller.
All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the signals.
This digital start address is the channel number from which the device starts to "listen" to the DMX
controller. The same starting address can be used for a whole group of devices or an individual address can
be set for every device.
When all devices have the same address, all the units will "listen" to the control signal on one particular
channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices simultaneously. If you
set individual addresses, each device will "listen" to a separate channel number. Changing the settings of
one channel will only affect the device in question.
To set the device to work with a DMX controller:
1. Press MENU until <Channel> is displayed and press ENTER.
2. Use UP and DOWN to select a channel and press ENTER.
3. Press MENU until <Address> is displayed and press ENTER.
4. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to set the DMX start address and press ENTER.
Start addresses
Use the table below to define the correct address. The table shows the settings for units 1 to 3. Apply the same
principle for the other units.
