The white Value Up/Down buttons next to the box let you adjust values
online in increments. The values scroll much faster when you press and
hold the left mouse button, dragging the pointer upwards. This is also an
online or real-time edit.
Further functions in the Input EQ window:
• EQ ON/OFF for the input channels (green buttons)
• Show EQ A/B: The selected input channel (marked yellow) is shown in
the frequency display and may be edited there.
• Link A/B: When you click the yellow Link A/B button, edited EQ settings
will affect both EQ channels simultaneously. The adjustments you make
to the individual input EQs remain effective even if you deactivate the
Link A/B button.
• Set EQ Flat: Resets all bands and parameter values to the default. To
reset individual EQ bands, double-click the band (that is, the button
above the Frequency input box).
• Copy/paste: You can impose one or both EQ settings on other control-
lers by right-clicking the mouse when the pointer is in the EQ view.
• To impose an individual EQ channel’s settings on another controller,
press the right mouse button to select the COPY command in the
dialog box, select the target controller, and then confi rm by right-cli-
cking PASTE.
If the yellow Input A/B button in the EQ view of the controller whose EQ
settings you wish to copy is engaged, these EQ settings will be copied to
both of the target controller’s input EQs. Ensure the target controller’s
Link A/B button is disengaged when you execute this function.
Note: You can use the Soft Reset function to reset EQs even without a
connected PC running the LIPAN application. To do this, simultaneously
press Admin+Back+Enter on the controller control panel for about three
seconds. See section 3.5, Soft Reset for more on this!
3.7 The Meter Bridge
The Meter Bridge shows three statuses for controllers’ input and output
levels. Green indicates an incoming or outgoing signal, yellow indicates
-6 dB level, and red indicates OVL or over voltage limit for each channel.
You can arrange controllers in columns and added lines. Activate and
deactivate the Meter Bridge by clicking its icon in the View menu. The
controller name appears with up to 24 characters above the respective
LED chains for easy identifi cation. The display indicates the name ente-
red in the given controller’s Admin window.
Note: The Limiter LED in the Meter Bridge lights up as soon as the RMS
limiter or Peak limiter activates.

3.8 The Admin Window
Figure 8: The Admin window
A dedicated window affords easy access to a controller’s admin functions
without requiring you to deal with intricate drop-down menus. It lets you
view all settings at a glance.
To open a controller’s Admin window, select this controller in the CONT-
ROLLERS box and click the ADMIN VIEW option in the View menu.
The Admin window lets you:
• View the selected controller’s IP address
• View the controller name and change it in the Admin view
• Lock the controller’s keys. Go to the Admin view to activate and deacti-
vate LIPAN’s Keylock.
• Select an input: The Admin view lets you select an analog or AES/EBU
L+R Stereo input.
• Clock Sync: Go to the Admin view to choose the internal or an external
clock signal.
• View the sample rate. This tells you the input signal’s clock frequency.
The FIRNET controller works with 96 kHz.
• View and select the delay unit in the Admin view
Note: Changes are globally effective!
• View and select the bandwidth: You can determine if the EQ view
shows the fi lter bandwidth or slope in octave or Q factor (high quality =
narrow bandwidth) units.
• View and adjust the ambient temperature setting: Temperatures may
be entered in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. If you enter the value in
degrees Celsius, the Fahrenheit reading is adjusted accordingly, and
vice versa.
The FIRNET always stores delay values as samples per ms. It converts
the information given at a sampling frequency of 96 kHz and indicates
it as delay time in ms. The speed of sound, which varies according to
temperature, is a factor in the conversion equation. This is why you must
enter the correct air temperature to the FIRNET.
• View and select the Max. Input Level: You can adjust input gain in four
steps of 6 dBu, 12 dBu, 18 dBu, and 24 dBu.
Note: Professional mixing consoles’ output level can range up to +18
dBu, and in some cases even up to +24 dBu. The FIRNET is factory set to
+18 dBu.
• View and select the Max. Output Level: You can adjust output gain in
four steps of 6 dBu, 12 dBu, 18 dBu, and 24 dBu.
• Adjust the FIRNET’s analog output signal’s maximum level (Max.
Output) to match it to the downstream power amp’ input gain.
Note: Correct limiter settings ensure the FIRNET operates safely with the
various power amplifiers that drive HK AUDIO loudspeakers. To this end,
adjust Max. Output Level settings as follows:
Settings for L.A.B. FP 10000 Q amps:
- Gain (L.A.B. FP 10000Q): + 26 dBu
- Voltage Peak Limiter: 150V, Soft Mode
- Max Output (FIRNET): + 18 dBu
