Operating Manual - PROTEA 4.8SP and 3.6SP System Processors

while a very long attack time can miss some of the initial transient. Similarly, a very short release time can make the

audio sound uneven, while a very long release time can create "pumping", or "breathing" characteristics depending on

the kind of signal. Experiment to find the best solution for a given application.

4.7 Other Functions

The Protea 4.8SP and 3.6SP have a full complement of non-audio functions within a single keystroke to

navigate around the product quickly. Recall, Save, Copy, Mute, and a Utilities menu complete the user friendly

interface Protea products are known for.

4.7a Recall

There are 30 stored presets which can be recalled on the SP processor. Note: A preset recall will overwrite the

working settings, so make sure the current configuration is saved before continuing or it will be lost. Remember, an

unsaved working preset shows (modified) on the preset name screen. Press Esc to see the preset name screen. The unit

always loads the working preset on power-up, so as to preserve any changes should the power be inadvertently turned off

prior to saving.

Ashly has included ten preset templates as starting points for common 4.8SP or 3.6SP configurations, and these

preset templates repeat as they scroll through the 30 presets. To recall a new preset, press the recall button once, select

the desired preset number, and press recall again. At this point the LCD display prompts the user to mute the outputs or

not, and selecting Yes or No will load the new preset and mute all outputs if so desired. A new preset may have

dramatically different settings capable of damaging sound system components, so be careful not to recall the wrong

preset while the system is on. To be safe, always select "Yes" to mute all outputs.

4.7b Save

Once the unit has been adjusted to suit the application, the changes can be permanently saved to memory*. To

save a new configuration or save changes to an existing preset template, begin the process by pressing the Save button

once. The LCD display prompts for the new (or same) preset number, and after selecting the desired number press Save

again. At this point the name of the preset can be changed by selecting any one of the 20 text characters and scrolling

through the list of 89 available ASCII characters for each. Pressing the Save button again permanently stores the

working preset to the new preset location.

*Note: performing a Factory Reset will erase all user presets and replace them with the ten original Ashly

preset templates. User defined presets can be stored off-line as files using Protea NE Software.

4.7c Copy

The Copy function is used to quickly transfer all settings from a currently selected input or output to another

input or output channel. An example of how this might be used is with stage monitors. Suppose there are eight monitor

mixes on stage, and they all use the same type of floor wedge. The first monitor could be set up with Gain, EQ, and

Limiting, then those settings could be quickly copied to the remaining seven monitors, providing a consistent starting

point for each mix. To copy, first select the input/output to copy from, then press the Copy button, then press the input/

output to copy to, pressing the Copy button a second time to complete the action.

4.7d Mute

The Protea 4.8SP and 3.6SP allow the user to mute both inputs and/or outputs. When muted, an input or output's

red Mute LED is lit. When an input or output is selected, pressing the Mute button will toggle its mute function. To

quickly mute all outputs, escape out to the top level preset display, then press the Mute button, pressing it a second time

to confirm. Additionally, when recalling a new preset number to the unit, the LCD display prompts the user to mute all

outputs, as a new preset can introduce dramatic changes to the system configuration.
