Software
- Real time gain control from software is available using a variety of tools. These include the main
amplifier's software control surface using the channel main fader, a single fader gain control placed on an input or output chan-
nel, a digital VCA group gain control placed on an input or output, a WR-5 (or neWR-5) gain control, and the output channel
matrix mixer function.

iPad
- Gain controls can be part of an iPad design, including numeric readback labels that indicate current gain status.
4.2e Remote Channel Mute
1) WR-5/RD-8C
- WR-5 buttons can be programmed to mute and unmute single or multiple inputs or outputs.
The RD-8C has a mute button associated with each fader which mutes those channels associated with that fader.
2) neWR-5
- The neWR-5 buttons can be programmed to mute and unmute single or multiple inputs or outputs.
3) FR-8/FR-16
- FR-8/16 buttons by default will mute their corresponding fader channel(s). When a fader is set to A/B
Source Select mode however, the button toggles between two different sources and the mute function is disabled.
4) Event Scheduler
- The event scheduler can be set to automatically mute single or multiple inputs or outputs at a pre-
determined day and time, and likewise can unmute at a different time.

Software
- The user can mute inputs or outputs in real time from within the software control surface, the DSP
section inputs and outputs, and the input source section.
6) iPad
- A Mute button can be part of an iPad design.
4.2f Remote Zone Source Selection
1) WR-5
- WR-5 buttons can be programmed to select different input sources for one zone. A zone is typically one or more
amplifier output channels driving speakers in a single listening area. In the WR-5 software control surface, select the output
channel(s) for the WR-5 zone by clicking <Select Zone Outputs>. This defines the WR-5 as controller for that zone, and its up/
down parameter buttons with LED display will adjust the overall zone level. Next, program individual buttons for selection of
input source(s) by setting button function to <Zone Source Selection> and assigning desired inputs.
If Exclusive Source Selection is checked, only the currently pressed button and associated inputs will be active, otherwise
multiple buttons will be active together and add or subtract input sources as defined.
To allow input source selection but not zone level changes, click the <Disable Zone Level Control>. The output level can
still be adjusted from software, but the WR-5 is locked out from making zone output level changes.
2) neWR-5
- The neWR-5 offers the same zone source selection capabilities as the WR-5, with the addition of program-
mable limits on output gain level.
3) Event Scheduler
- Use the event scheduler <Output Source Select> feature to enable or disable a single input source
on a specific Pema amplifier output or AUX output.
