· Connect audio signal cables, power cable, and, if needed, computer cable.
· Select the operating mode, input signal type(s), and temperature/humidity conditions.
· Select the signal source(s) for each input channel.
· Select the loudspeaker type for each input channel and assign the output channel(s).
· Adjust the amplifier and listening distance parameters for the output channel(s).
· Adjust input channel EQ, gain, polarity, and delay.
· For Generic Processing, use EAWPilot to adjust output channel EQ, gain, polarity, limiting, and delay.

4 Operation
NOTES:
The steps in Section 4.1 correspond to the diagram.
These steps do not include all available operating parameters nor are they in the appropriate order for all situations.
When configured for specific loudspeaker models, output parameters are preset and unavailable for adjustment.
