How to use

Connect the incoming trigger or audio signal to the controller input and route the controller output to the fog, haze or stage effect machine. Use the rotary knob to increase or decrease the output level until the connected device responds as required. Make incremental adjustments during sound checks or rehearsals to find the optimal level and verify that the signal remains stable during performance. Ensure secure cable connections and avoid excessive force when turning the control knob.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, test the controller within the intended signal chain before live use, and set initial levels with the connected effect machine powered on but idle. Regularly check connectors and cable quality to prevent signal loss, and consider labeling cable runs in larger installations to maintain clear signal routing.
