USERNAME AND PASSWORD
For managing and editing the software, 2 users with different password-protected access rights can be set up ("admin" and "user"). The user
"admin" has access to all menu items in the software, the user "user" to all menu items except "MATRIX" and "SYSTEM". The factory preset
password for both users (USER PSW) is "000000" (six times the number zero). The password of the user who is currently logged on to the AM8
automatic mixer can be changed in the following ways: Click in the field for the old password "OLD PSW" and enter the old password. Now
enter the new password (maximum 6 characters) in the "NEW PSW" field and again in the field "CONFIRM PSW" and confirm by clicking on the
"CHANGE USER" button. In the opening window, click "OK", reconnect the device to the software (MENU-> CONNECT) and log on using the new
user password.

PANEL LOCK
To protect the device from accidental or unauthorised operation there are 3 lock modes available to block the operating elements of the AM8
automatic mixer (the "POWER" operating element cannot be blocked). Click with the left mouse button on the "PANEL LOCK" field in the
drop-down menu and select the desired lock mode (ALL FUNCTIONS LOCKED = all operating elements locked, GAIN/MAIN VOL AVAILABLE
= only channel and master rotary encoders unlocked, MAIN VOL AVAILABLE = only master rotary encoder unlocked). To enable all operating
elements again, select "OFF".

DEVICE MODE
When using a single AM8 automatic mixer, it must be configured as a master unit. When daisy-chaining up to 16 AM8 automatic mixers using
the LINK IN / LINK OUT interface on the rear panel of the device (see point 14 CONNECTIONS, CONTROLS, AND INDICATORS), the device serving
as the master unit needs to be configured as the master unit. Click the "MAST" button with the left mouse button (the "MAST" button will be
highlighted yellow). All other AM8 automatic mixers in the audio system will be configured as slave units. Click the "SLAVE" button with the left
mouse button (the "SLAVE" button will be highlighted yellow).

NOM ATTENUATION
Automatic level reduction of the master signal to prevent feedback in the event of the simultaneous activation of two or more channels (see
menu point MAX. OPEN CH). Click the "ON" button to activate the function ("ON" button highlighted yellow). The simultaneous activation of 2

GAIN LIMITS
This function allows the lower and upper limit adjustment range of the channel pre-amplification GAIN to be separately set on each channel.
Specify the desired value as a whole number in the input fields UPPER (upper limit) and LOWER (lower limit) then click on "OK". The setting
can be done individually for each channel.

an already saved preset, click on the drop-down menu of the saved preset, select "RECALL" and then click "OK". To delete a preset, select
