SECTION ONE: INTRODUCTION Section One: Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Sabine Navigator. These products are our latest versions of the popular Navigator System Processors. The new Navigators come in four basic input/output configurations. The NAV240 is a 2 by 4 , the NAV360 is a 3 by 6, the NAV480 and NAV4802 are 4 by 8, and the NAV8802 is an 8 by 8. These System Processors are equally at home in both touring and installation applications, where they provide loudspeaker management, matrix mixing, and signal routing. State-of-the-art hardware and firmware guarantee superior sound quality and reliability. All firmware and software can be upgraded using Sabine's Upgrade Wizard software, included on your Navigator CD. Aside from the powerful array of features packed into a single unit (multiple crossovers, complete signal routing and mixing, FBX filters, parametric filters, high and low shelf filters, delay, compression, and limiting), the Navigator also offers a choice of user interfaces. Computer control: When you install the included Navigator Remote Control Software you will see a very powerful yet simple user interface. All parameters and system status monitors are available without burying you in cryptic menus. From here you control all audio, security, linking, and file saving functions, and you can manage your entire network of Navigators. Front Panel Control: The Navigator combines the best of both worlds. The front panel provides access to every audio and system function for each device. Gain control for each input and output is one touch away. LED signal meters for each input and output provide a clear picture of signal status, and editing is fast with the datawheel and cursor keys. Quickly control multiple channels simultaneously by pressing several channel buttons at the same time, which is very handy for those global changes. NAVRC-100 Wall-Mount Remote Panel: The attractive NAVRC-100 wall-mounted remote control panel allows for control of presets, gain, muting, and other basic functions. One NAVRC-100 can control up to 8 Navigators, and one Navigator can be controlled by up to 8 NAVRD-100 panels. Serial Remote Control Devices: Navigators are compatible with all the major serial controllers, including Crestron, AMX, and Cue. How to Use this Operating Guide Detailed instructions are provided for all front panel controls, but you will probably be able to get going after taking a look at the Quick Start page. The instructions apply to all Navigators except where noted. Later in this guide is an overview of installing and using the Navigator Remote Control Software. For more detailed information please see the Help section of the software. If you have any questions you may call Sabine's Customer Service Department at 386-418-2000 from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm EST.
