3 - System-wide options-OPTION screen (MIC/LINE or INPUT) is selected, they act as overload indicators when the input level exceeds the level set in the LEVEL field (OVER, 0, -2, -4, -6, -8, -10, -12, -18, -30 or -42 (dB). This status can be set for either the MIC/LINE inputs 1 through 16 or for the INPUT associated with the module, using the appropriate radio buttons. Set the level for the overload lighting by moving to the value, pressing the ENTER key, turning the dial to set the value and pressing ENTER to confirm the value. Otherwise, if the AUTOMATION option is selected, these indicators show the current automation status of the channels, as explained in the automation manual. FADER SENSITIVITY This parameter allows you to specify the sensitivity of the faders, as used in the automation process. The DM-24 touch sensing capabilities are dependent on the ambient humidity and environment. Depending on these factors, it may sometimes happen that faders which have been touched are not recognized as having been touched, or the faders are recognized as having been touched when they have not actually been touched. PREFERENCES The following general working preference settings are available from this screen: Fader Auto MODULE Select When enabled and a MODULE or DYNAMICS screen is shown, this option allows a module to be selected whenever its fader is touched, in addition to the usual method of pressing the SEL key. In other screens, when this option is enabled, the module shown at the top left of the screen changes when its fader is touched. The value of the sensitivity is set by default to 4.0k, but you may wish to set it to any of the following values: 1.0k, 1.5k, 2.0k, 2.5k, 3.0k, 3.5k, 4.0k (Hz). High values mean higher touch sensitivity. While the FADER SENSITIVITY on-screen button is switched ON and this screen is visible, touching any of the faders with your fingers will illuminate the STATUS/OL indicator for as long as the fader is touched. This provides a very useful check for the sensitivity of the faders. METER CALIBRATION Move the cursor to the START button and press ENTER to start the process of calibrating the DM-24 meters. WARNING You must turn down the headphone and control room monitor levels before starting this check, to avoid any possible damage to your ears and to the control room monitoring system. Press the ENTER key (or cancel the process using a cursor key). After the meter calibration process has finished (about 3 seconds), the message METER calibration finished appears as a popup message. You can then restore the control room and headphone levels. Select MODULE Return When checked, this option allows the MODULE screen of the appropriate module to appear if the SEL key of the module is pressed and held for about two seconds. ST Link by SEL key When checked, this option allows the stereo linking of two adjacent modules (provided the left module of the pair is odd-numbered) by pressing and holding the SEL key of one module and pressing the SEL key of the other. Balance Level CENTER: 0dB When two chan- nels are linked together as a stereo pair, the pan controls change to a balance control, as mentioned earlier. In the center position, the level may either be set to 0dB (checked) or a 3dB cut (unchecked). SEL Key Follows Fader Layer Status allows the setup of the automatic linking of the selected channel to the selected meter layer. When this option is selected, if a channel is selected, the fader layer is changed, and then the fader layer is changed back again, the originally-selected channel is automatically selected.
