3 1. Introduction Thank you for choosing the automatic mix-amplifier Genio 10 form AVE. Genio 10 is a device which is used impressively in medium and large rooms where the acoustic conditions complicate intelligibility. Genio 10 is equipped with 10 inputs: 8 balanced mic/line inputs, 2 switchable CD/Aux inputs with volume, treble and bass controls. Each mic/line input is equipped with a COMP controler, a GAIN control, a 3-band EQ, a volume, operating and peak display and a rocker switch for adjusting Line, Micro Low, Micro High and the connecting of phantom power (48 V). This makes it possible to seamlessly connect any type of microphone and produce a uniform sound pattern for each speaker. The device also has a USB port and a SD card slot. The unit also offers a variety of additional features such as a directly controllable output db, optional remote control, a switchable sensitivity for CD, a switchable adjustable sensitivity for Aux, Output 1 and Output 2 for controlling an external power amp. The speaker outputs are designed for 100/70/50 V and also for 4 ohm. Each output has a 31-band graphic equalizer, a 6 parametric delay and a limiter assigned. All sources are controlled by a 2-channel digital signal processor. The Genio 10 is equipped with its own software. All settings are made through a menu-driven user interface directly on the device. This makes programming easy and convenient a laptop or PC is not needed. The user can instantly recall 20 different presets which can be set for different occasions. A protection circuit protects all settings from access by unauthorized persons. Genio 10 is equipped with the latest technology (SMD, digital power amplifier, switching power supply). All components are integrated in a 19 cabinet 2 U. Genio 10 is available in for versions: 2x240 W, 1x240W, 2x150 W, 1x150 W.

8 3.2 Programmable settings ( presets ) The GENIO 10 connects many built-in features with easy to use operability. Even in challenging acoustic environments optimal results can be achieved. During installation a series of presets can be programmed.. 20 presets make it possible for all assignments (for example: Sunday, weekday church or even for different speakers) to individually program and retrieve by one turn oft he dial. The following parameters are for each preset setting - The Master-Volume, that ist he total volume of all outgoing signals - Which one oft he two outputs should be active - A preset name. So at one glance the different settings can be distinguished. 3.3 Use of different settings ( presets ) Turn on the device with the power switch. The welcome message and the parameter set will appear in the display with which the program starts. After a few seconds it will disappear and the settings of the current preset will show up. Below an example is given. Here one can see the current preset name (in this case Sonntag as well as the value of the master volume in percent (total output volume, in this case 80%). The bar above the preset name is an analogue representation of the master volume. On the right-hand side of the display the two little squares represent the 2 outputs ((the numbers 1 to 2 are written on the side of the display). A dot within a square indicates that this particular output is active. In the example both outputs are active. The preset settings can be guarded against accidental changes. In this preset-protection- mode changes can only made by pushing and turning the dial at the same time. In order to switch from one preset to another, push the preset dial in the display; then let go. Now all is set for the next application. 3.4 Change of existing preset settings Should it become necessary to change the volume of a given preset, push the volume dial (only necessary in the preset protection mode ) while turning it to set the desired value. This change is only temporary, i.e. once the unit is turned off and back on again, the original preset is active again. User guide GENIO 10 Page 8

9 4. Advanced features 4.1 Creating a new preset This section describes how to program one of the 20 preset slots, for example, give a preset name and select the desired master volume and outputs. First turn the unit off with the main on/off switch iin the back. Then, turn the unit back on, while pushing the preset dial. Keep the dial pushed until the main menu appears (see below) The four items preset, parameters, config and utility appear.. Push the preset dial again and Edit Prest 1 appears (see below) In case you wish to choose a different preset slot, turn the volume dial (1-20). By pushing the preset dial following picture appears. A yet unused preset slot can be identified by the fact that it does not yet have given preset name (for example Sonntag ) but merely preset and a number (e.g. preset 12 ). Push the preset dial. Now you can determine the preset name. The cursor will blink under the first character. By turning the volume dial the following letters and special characters will appear in this order: A-Z, Ä, Ö, Ü, a-z, ä, ö, ü, 0-9, space,! # $ % & ( ) * +, -. / Pushing the preset dial will confirm the current character and move the cursor one position to the right. Now you can set the next character. When you ve filled the preset name, turn the preset dial one click to the right to now determine the master volume for this preset. Set the value by turning the volume dial. The values range from 0 to 100%. The corresponding value in db is given in brackets. Now turn the preset dial again one click to the right in order to determine the outputs for this preset. When pushing the preset dial, the 2 outputs will appear one after the other with their respective names On as well as a dot in the little square, indicating that this output is active. By turning the value dial one click, the shown output can be either activated or deactivated. Now the programming for this preset is complete. By pushing the value dial, you will exit the programming mode. You will be whether you would like to Save changes? Pushing the volume dial indicates yes and your changes will be saved. ( Saving do not interrupt ) Pushing the preset dial indicates no and the display will show Changes discarded! To change another preset, press briefly the Volume -dial. You will enter back to the preset-menu. Now change the designated preset and proceed like described above. User guide GENIO 10 Page 9

10 THE FOLLOWING MODIFICATIONS ARE TO BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED AUDIO TECHNICIANS ONLY 4.2 The parameter menu The functions and settings in the parameter domain should be changed by qualified personnel only. The only exception is the programming of a new preset as descried in section 4.1. The digital control boasts the great advantage of the programmability of various functions. In this parameter menu, not only the presets are programmed, but among others, the equalizers and the parameters for feedback elimination are set. In fact, the entire programming of the Genio 10 is done here with menu-driven user guidance by using the display and merely the volume and preset -dials. No PC or Laptop is required. In order to enter the parameter menu first turn the unit off. Then turn it back on again while pushing the volume dial until the parameter menu with its four items preset, parameters, config and service appear. By turning the preset dial, you can change from one menu item to the next which is indicated by a small triangle. By pushing the preset dial, you choose the mode edit Parameterset 1 (see below). By turning the volume dial you can choose which parameter set you would like to change. You have four possibilities (1-4). Press the preset -dial again and select the equivalent menu. The following applies: Turning preset dial one click to he right will always bring you to the next item of a menu i.e. to the next parameter to be programmed. This dial is therefore marked parameter. For simplicity we will continue to name this dial preset dial. Changing a value or character is always done by turning the volume dial. This dial is therefore also marked value. However, here too for simplicity, we will stay with the name of volume dial. This dial is a so-called dynamic rotary dial, meaning that when slowly turning it, the value will change in small increments whereas turning a dial by the same amount more quickly will change the value proportionally faster. This enables a fast but precise setting of the desired values. By pushing the value dial, you will go up one level in the menu structure. Whenwever xou have changed any parameter, you will be asked whether you would like to Save changes? Pushing the volume dial indicates yes and your changes will be saved ( Saving don not interrupt. Pushing the preset dial indicates no and the display will show Changes discarded The following four sections will describe the programming possibilities of the four menu items Preset Select the desired number from the edit-preset-menu. Preset name: Determine the name for a given preset. The procedure is described in detail in section 4.1 Preset master volume: Setting the master volume for a given preset. Preset output: Choose the desired outputs for a given preset. The procedure is described in detail in section 4.1. User guide GENIO 10 Page 10

11 4.2.2 Parameters Select the desired number from the edit-preset-menu. (see below)) Level: Determine the level for each output. Set the desired value by turning the volume dial. Pushing the preset dial will bring you to the next output. With this individual level setting, you will achieve an optimal balance of the outputs which will remain even when changing the master volume. Delay: Delay time for both outputs. It can be set in 1-meter increments and the corresponding delay time is given in milliseconds (calculated according to a speed of sound of 343 m/s, corresponding to a room ötemperature of 20 C) Here, too, pushing the preset dial will move you from one output to the next. Graph EQ: Set the level of the 31 bands of the graphic equalizer for each of the 2 outputs. (see picture below). By turning the preset dial, you will move to the next frequency. Again pushing it, you will move to the other output to program the overall 62 levels. By turning the volume dial you can adjust the respective level. Param EQ 1 Freq: Set the 1 st frequency of the full parametric equalizers (range: 20 Hz to khz) Here, too, the value is set with the volume dial. Pushing the preset dial will bring you to the next output, so you can set the first frequency for each output. Param EQ 1 Gain: Set the gain of the 1 st band (range: +18 to -44 db). Between +18 und -20 db very fine 0.5 db increments are possible.. Param EQ 1 Q: Set the q-factor fort he 1 st band (range: 0.2 to 100. Logarithmic increments 0.2, 0.22, 0.25, 0.28, 0.32, etc.) The high Q-factors enable extremely narrow-band notch-filters for ideal feedback elimination. Param EQ 2-6 Freq: Proceed as described above for bands 2 to 6 of the parametric equalizer Param EQ 2-6 Gain: Proceed as described above for bands 2 to 6 of the parametric equalizer. Param EQ 2-6 Q: Proceed as described above for bands 2 to 6 of the parametric equalizer. Limiter: Can be individually set for each output. By pushing the preset dial, you can choose the output. Turning the volume dial by one click, you can turn the limiter either on or off. By pushing the volume dial you will return back to the parameter menu. In case you have changed any parameters, you will be asked whether you would like to save them. User guide GENIO 10 Page 11

12 4.2.3 Config With Config you have the possibility to decide with which preset and parameterset the program will start when turned on. Further adjustments will be described below. By pressing the preset dial you will enter to the Config-menu, when the little triangle is next to Config. (See below) Now you can see the startup-preset starting the program on the display. By turning the volume dial you can change with which preset the program should start with (1-20). By turning the preset dial you will enter to the startup parameter menu. Here you can select with which parameters the program should start (1-4). VU Out: By turning the volume dial, you can choose which of the two outputs shall be shown as VU-meters on the display. LCD contrast: Set the contrast oft he LCD display from 0 to 50 for optimal readability. Vol/Preset Protect: The protection of the settings is such that changes (e.g. changing between presets or temporary volume changes) can only be performed while pushing und turning the dials at the same changes can be made by simply turning the dials without pushing them. Turning the volume dial by one click either enable or disables the protection. Welcomescreen Line 1: Set the first line (16 characters) oft he welcome text that shows up when powering up the unit. The cursor will blink under the first character. By turning the volume dial, the following letters, numbers and special characters will appear in this order: A-Z, Ä, Ö, Ü, a-z, ä, ö, ü, 0-9, space,! # $ % & ( ) * +, -. / Pushing the preset dial will confirm the current character and move the cursor one position to the right. Now you can see the next character. Welcomescreen Line 2: Set the second line (16 characters) of the welcome text that shows up when powering up the unit. Output 1 Name: Determine the name of the first output. 8 characters are available for this name (e.g. nave, gallery etc.) Output 2 Name: Same procedure as in Output Name Utility Inside this menu you have the possibility to copy a parameterset into another parameterset. Turn the volume dial until the small triangle in next to Utility and press the preset dial. Now you can see Copy/Firmware on the display. By pressing the dial again the following menu appear (see below) will By turning the volume dial the source and target parameter set for the copy process can be determined. When the triangle is on Copy, press the preset dial. Now the designed parameter set is copied. Firmware: Displays the current firmware version of the unit. User guide GENIO 10 Page 12
