OPERATION
The User Interface
All SRM 66 programming is done with the Data wheel
and the front panel buttons using one of the eleven LCD
pages. Each page consists of the page name, multiple param-
eter fields and possible Command fields and status indicators.
To navigate between pages use the Next Page (>>) and
Previous Page (<<) buttons. Within a page the Next (>) and
Previous (<) buttons move the cursor to each field.
Above each parameter field is a label indicating its
function. Once the cursor is positioned beneath the desired
parameter field, the Data wheel is turned clockwise to
increase the value and counter-clockwise to decrease it. To
quickly jump to extreme maximum or minimum values, hold
down the Shift (EXE) Button and press either the MAX (>>)
or MIN (>) buttons. For added safety, executing MAX for the
Input mix levels sets the level to unity or zero gain, not +6 dB
which is the actual maximum.
Command Fields
Most pages contain a Command field. Here you can Copy
settings from the current page to the clipboard, Paste settings
from the clipboard, Recall page settings from memory, and
Zero all page settings.
To access a command, position the cursor under the
Command field, use the Data wheel to select the desired
command (not all commands are available in all pages) and
press the EXE button.
Clipboard
There are actually three separate clipboards in the SRM
66: one for an Output’s settings (shared by all Outputs), one
for the Remote to Group settings, and one for the Output to
Group settings. Using the clipboard can greatly simplify and
speed setting up multiple Outputs or multiple Memories. The
clipboard settings are lost whenever power is removed.
Status Indicators
Next to the page name in many pages is a Status Indicator.
In the Output pages it shows the current amount of Limiter
gain reduction or startup muting. If there is no gain reduction
being applied, the field is blank. On the Memory page an
asterisk (*) appears in this field whenever the current working
Memory does not match the last recalled Memory.
Programming the SRM 66
Programming each SRM 66 Output requires only one edit
page as in Figure 1. Note that unique Input mix levels are
possible for each Output. All adjustments are in 1 dB steps.
The following parameters define each Output:
IN1 Input one mix Level +6 dB to -25 dB, Off
IN2 Input two mix Level +6 dB to -25 dB, Off
IN3 Input three mix Level +6 dB to -25 dB, Off
IN4 Input four mix Level +6 dB to -25 dB, Off
IN5 Input five mix Level +6 dB to -25 dB, Off
IN6 Input six mix Level +6 dB to -25 dB, Off
MST Master mix Level +0 dB to -59 dB, Off
LIM Limit Threshold Max (0 dB) to -28 dB re: clip point.
Output Groups
The SRM 66 uses Output Groups to link the attenuation
level and Limiter gain reduction of one or more Outputs. Any
one of the seven possible SR 1L remote controls can then be
assigned to control an Output Group Level. The SRM 66 can
also assign any number of the six possible Output Groups to a
Master Group. Any number of the seven possible SR 1L
Remotes can then be assigned to control the Master Group
Level. Understanding and utilizing the power of Groups is
essential to harness the power and versatility of the SRM 66.
The Output to Group Assign page is shown in Figure 2.
Outputs can be assigned to 1 of 6 Output Groups or no Group
(off). For example, a stereo Output pair would typically be
assigned to the same Output Group in order to ensure that the
two stereo Outputs limit together and are controlled by the
same Output Group Level. Output Group Levels may be
controlled from the Group Level page shown in Figure 3 or
by any SR 1L remote assigned to the Group on the Remote to
Group page shown in Figure 5.
The Group to Master Remote assignment page is shown in
Figure 4. Any number of the six (6) possible Output Groups
can be assigned to the Master Group. The Level of all Output
Groups assigned to the Master Group can be controlled by the
MST control on the Group Level page shown in Figure 3 or
by any SR 1L remote assigned to the Master Group on the
Remote to Group Assign page shown in Figure 5. This feature
