Note: Stand-Alone and Master-Slave operation require sound to acti-
vate! The units will blackout in this mode to conserve bulb life when
there is no sound present.
Stand-Alone Operation (Sound Active): This function allows a
single unit to run to the beat of the music. Only use this function when
running a single unit, or when running several units as individuals.
1. To activate the Sound-Active mode, set dip switch 10, on the
rear of unit to the ON position (See “Master Unit” on the DIP
SWITCH chart on page 15).
2. The unit will now react to the low frequencies of music via the inter-
nal microphone.
3. Adjust the audio sensitivity knob on the rear of the unit to make the
unit more or less sensitive to sound. Turning the sensitivity knob in
the clockwise direction will increase the sensitivity, turning the knob
in the counter-clockwise direction will decrease the fi xture’s sensi-
tivity to sound.
4. The optional MINI/C Blackout Controller may be used with this
function. This controller is used for blackout function only.
Master-Slave Operation (Sound Active): This function will allow

you to link up to 16 units together and operate without a controller. The
units will be sound activated. In Master-Slave operation one unit will act
as the controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling units
programs. Any unit can act as a Master or as a Slave.
1. Using standard XLR microphone cables, daisy chain your units
together via the XLR connectors on the rear of the units. Remem-
ber the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR is the
output. The fi rst unit in the chain (master) will use the female XLR
connector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at
the last fixture. Refer to the set-up procedures beginning on page
10.
2. Follow the Master-Slave dip-switch chart on page 16 for proper
dip-switch settings.
3. The optional MINI/C Blackout Controller may be used in this
operation mode to control the blackout.
4. After all the units settings have been set and are plugged in, adjust
the sensitivity knob on the rear of the master unit to make them
react to sound.
5. Several unit may share the same slave setting as long as there
are no more than 16 units in a Master-Slave confi guration, however
only one unit may have the “Master - Head 1” dip switch setting.
11. Cooling Fan - This fan is used to keep the unit operating at a cooler tem-
perature. Keep the fan grill clean. Never block the grill, improper cooling may
result in premature lamp failure.
