9TD-000472-00-BDCA NroupsTIP!: See "Tips & Tricks" on page 20 for more on DCA’s.A DCA groups faders together so the overall level of all the channels in the group can be controlled by a single DCA fader. A DCA fader does notchange the position of any of the faders in the group.IMPORTANT!: Here is an important thing to know – if the DCA master fader is at 0.0 (the unity (U) mark), it does nothing to the levelof an assigned channel. The DCA adds or subtracts level. Move the DCA Fader up 3 dB and everything it’s assigned to will increase by3 dB. Move it down 3 dB and – well you probably figured that out. Remember that assigning or unassigning a channel to a DCA Groupcan cause a sudden change in the level of the channel so it’s good practice to have the DCA master at 0.0 when changing assignments.To Setup a DCA Group:You can assign inputs, outputs and FX Master faders to a DCA. If you assign an input, and the output to which it's going to the same DCA, changes youmake using the DCA are doubled for the input. Raise the DCA 3 dB, the input is effectively raised 6 dB.To Name the DCA group:To Mute a DCA Group:When you mute a DCA, all channels assigned to that DCA are muted. If a channel is muted by the channel Mute button, or a Mute Group, the DCAdoes not un-mute the channel when the DCA is un-muted.Save Your ork in a SceneYou’ve put some effort into setting up your mix so now would be a great time to save it. A Scene is a snapshot of all the settings on the mixer.TIP!: It's a good idea to save your scene with the outputs muted or levels down. Why? Because it's possible that the gain settingson power amplifiers or powered loudspeakers have changed since the scene was saved. Recalling the scene could result in a blast offeedback from all the speakers connected to the mixer.To Save Your Scene:To Name Your Scene:To Save Your Scene:DCA GroupsDCA 1Select5DCA 5 In 2 Continue selecting channels as you wish.Type new nameDCA GroupsMuteMenu Scenes Save/Save As...Type new nameInternal External(USB)Save Location:Save
