They are shipped with the filters in the OUT (disabled) position. (See the bottom of page Manual-2 to enable these filters. ) If you were smart enough to read this much of the manual, this paragraph may already have saved you a few minutes of your life ­ you're welcome. If you've learned the hard way, hopefully you've learned an important lesson ­ read at least the first line in the manual first. [. . . ] Make sure these units are grounded either to another chassis which is earth grounded, or directly to the grounding screw on a grounded AC outlet cover. Status Indicators Next to the page name in many pages is a Status Indicator. In the Output pages it shows the current amount of Limiter gain reduction or startup muting. If there is no gain reduction being applied, the field is blank. On the Memory page an asterisk (*) appears in this field whenever the current working Memory does not match the last recalled Memory. Programming the SRM 66 Programming each SRM 66 Output requires only one edit page as in Figure 1. Note that unique Input mix levels are possible for each Output. The following parameters define each Output: IN1 Input one mix Level +6 dB to -25 dB, Off IN2 Input two mix Level +6 dB to -25 dB, Off IN3 Input three mix Level +6 dB to -25 dB, Off IN4 Input four mix Level +6 dB to -25 dB, Off IN5 Input five mix Level +6 dB to -25 dB, Off IN6 Input six mix Level +6 dB to -25 dB, Off MST Master mix Level +0 dB to -59 dB, Off LIM Limit Threshold Max (0 dB) to -28 dB re: clip point.

Recall[n] loads current page parameters from Memory[n], where [n]=Memory 1-24. Figure 1. Output Edit Page Output Groups The SRM 66 uses Output Groups to link the attenuation level and Limiter gain reduction of one or more Outputs. Any one of the seven possible SR 1L remote controls can then be assigned to control an Output Group Level. The SRM 66 can also assign any number of the six possible Output Groups to a Master Group. Any number of the seven possible SR 1L Remotes can then be assigned to control the Master Group Level. Understanding and utilizing the power of Groups is essential to harness the power and versatility of the SRM 66. The Output to Group Assign page is shown in Figure 2. Outputs can be assigned to 1 of 6 Output Groups or no Group (off ). For example, a stereo Output pair would typically be assigned to the same Output Group in order to ensure that the two stereo Outputs limit together and are controlled by the same Output Group Level. Output Group Levels may be controlled from the Group Level page shown in Figure 3 or by any SR 1L remote assigned to the Group on the Remote to Group page shown in Figure 5. The Group to Master Remote assignment page is shown in Figure 4. Any number of the six (6) possible Output Groups can be assigned to the Master Group. The Level of all Output Groups assigned to the Master Group can be controlled by the MST control on the Group Level page shown in Figure 3 or by any SR 1L remote assigned to the Master Group on the Remote to Group Assign page shown in Figure 5. [. . . ] The example shown in Figure 10 demonstrates a system using the SRM 66 for room combining. The fact that Group configurations can be different in each Memory adds the versatility of linking multiple Remotes together in one condition while separating them in another. In Memory 2, the Master can control both Output Groups, while permitting individual control within each divided room. One thing to keep in mind in such a situation is the Group's Level is not stored in each Memory. [. . . ]
