Mapping
A maximum of 16 channels can be selected from any input or zone. That is, an already mixed zone can be part of another mix too. A zone can be mapped into all output channels.
Note: Test, Talk Over and Priority sources do not need to be mapped to the corresponding zone’s mixer. Those sources are picked up once they are assigned within that DSP feature.
Note: If a mapped input or zone is removed from the list in a zone, a blank box is left there. You may remove the blank box by clicking on the bin icon again. This removal will shift the mixer levels to the channels that come after. In other words, mixer settings stay constant but mapped channels shift upwards.
Note: If a mapped input or zone is removed from the list in a zone, a blank box is left there. You may remove the blank box by clicking on the bin icon again. This removal will shift the mixer levels to the channels that come after. In other words, mixer settings stay constant but mapped channels shift upwards.

Pre-Gain, Gain & Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
Pre-Gain
Manually adjustable pre-gain for microphone/line level adjustment is available for input signals up to 22dBV/24dBu. It is a digitally controlled analogue gain stage. Pre-Gain can be used with both Gain and AGC.
Parameter Name | Parameter Range | Parameter Definition |
Pre-Gain | -6/0/34/40 dB | The Pre-Gain parameter offers a selection of four gain levels for the microphone level, line level, and hot signal source (e.g., DJ setup). |
Gain
Gain is available for all input channels with a range of -35 and 35 dB for the LUNA series. It is also possible to adjust the input gain automatically.
Note: NWP series have -15 and 15dB of gain range.
Parameter Name | Parameter Range | Parameter Definition |
Gain | +/-35 dB +/-15 dB | Input signal up to 22dBV/24dBu |
Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
All inputs contain the possibility to enable Automatic Gain Control (AGC). This continuously adjusts the input gain, ensuring a constant output level while the input level varies. The gain adjustments are made in extremely small step adjustable sizes ensuring high-quality audio, even during gain changes.
Parameter Name | Parameter Range | Parameter Definition |
Target (A) | -20 - 6 dB | The Target parameter specifies a signal's target level before entering the Matrix. Continuously, the signal matching the level specified by the target parameter will be attempted to adjust. |
Max Gain (B) | 0 - 30 dB | The Max Gain parameter specifies the maximum gain adjustment which can be achieved between the input level and the target level. This can be used to prevent excessive noise or microphone feedback when, for example, a microphone is not being used. Note that this setting may prevent the AGC from reaching the target level, but this behavior is desirable to achieve the best overall sound. |
Hold (C) | 0.1 - 60 second | The Hold parameter specifies the AGC hold time during which no action will be taken when the output level falls below the target output level. This is used to prevent the gain from modulating on low frequencies which may cause distortion. For line signals, it is recommended to specify a long hold time to prevent the AGC from adjusting the volume during quiet music passages. |
Decay (D) | 5 - 200 dB/sec
| The Decay parameter specifies the time the AGC will take to increase the gain, raising the signal from the current level (below the target level) to the target level. A slow Decay setting can be used if a fixed output level should be maintained, while a fast Decay setting can be used to compress the dynamic range of speech. |
Attack (E) | 5 - 200 dB/sec | The Attack parameter specifies the reaction time in which the AGC starts attenuating after a sudden increase in input level above the target level. The attack time should be fast to avoid any distortion caused by clipping, but when the attack time is too fast, the AGC will overreact to short peaks, causing audible distortion. |
Threshold (B) | -90 - 30 dB | The Threshold parameter specifies the level at which the noise gate will be enabled. When the level of the applied input signal is below the set threshold level, the noise gate will be enabled. This will cut off the signal, resulting in no noise on the outputs. To avoid unwanted noises (noise gate opening and closing rapidly) when the signal level is close to the threshold level, the noise gate function uses a time-out period in combination with hysteresis. |
Gain Freeze | Selection | The Gain Freeze will freeze the reached gain level and keeps it fixed. |
Gain Recovery | Selection | The Gain Recovery will recover the reached gain level back to 0dB. |

LP/HP filter (Input Filter & Output Filter)
2 bands of semi-parametric 2nd order high pass and low pass filters are available on each input channel and can be individually enabled and disabled. Frequency and Q-factor can be adjusted, and channels can be enabled individually. With cascading or combining the available filters, bandpass or 4th order high pass or low pass filters can be created.

Using Voice Files with Priority
The procedure to use OS input as a priority input is explained below in steps.
- Create a voice file event in the Voice Files.
- Create an event in the Event Handler that uses an alarm system as a GPIO trigger.
- The created event should trigger the previously created voice file event.
- In the Priority section of the zone, select OS1, OS2 or Mono OS 1+2 as your trigger and input. If you select Mono OS1+2, that channel should be enabled.
- The voice file event will be played in that zone as a priority whether it is assigned or not to the zone's Voice File section.

Compressor
A compressor/limiter is an automated volume control tool with the setting of maximum volume to avoid any clipping caused by the signal dynamics or peaks. Threshold and ratio indicate how much the signal is going to be attenuated.
Parameter Name | Parameter Range | Parameter Definition |
Enabled | Enable/Disable | Enables or disables the DSP feature. |
Threshold | -60 – 6 dB | The threshold control sets the level at which the compression effect is engaged. It will be compressed only when a level passes above the threshold. If the threshold level is set at say -10 dB, only signal peaks that extend above that level will be compressed. |
Knee | 0 -20 dB | The knee is assigned as a numerical value yet can be described as qualitatively: soft, hard, or somewhere in between. The hard knee curve shows a sudden change in slope (ratio) that begins at the threshold. The soft knee curve, in contrast, shows a more gradual change. |
Ratio | 1-100 (n:1) | Specifies the amount of attenuation applied to the signal. A ratio of 1:1 (one to one) is the lowest and it represents unity gain, or in other words, no attenuation. |
Release Time | 0 – 1000 second | It is the time it takes for the signal to go from the compressed "or attenuated" state back to the original non-compressed signal. Release times will be longer than attack times, ranging anywhere from 40-60 ms to 2-5 seconds, depending on which unit you are working with. Typically, release time should be set as short as possible without producing a "pumping" effect, which is caused by cyclic activation and deactivation of compression. |

GPIO
LUNA-F has 24 flex inputs/outputs which can be configured in all possible ways. On the other hand, LUNA-U has fixed 12 GPIO input and 12 GPIO output ports. LUNA series GPIO ports are both edge and configurable threshold level triggered. Input possibilities are active low/high, rising/falling edge and analog input 0-33V. Output is open drain.
The internal 24V is capable of delivering a maximum current of 1 Amp.
Note: The video content may be changed or updated in time.

File Browser
The file browser is available with the LUNA firmware V 1.2.1. This appendix is created to explain how to use the file browser and to download or upload files on the internal uSD card. The procedure is available for two purposes:
- To download or upload the settings file that will enable the settings backup of the LUNA series audio matrix processors. (settings folder)
- To upload announcement messages (MP3 or WAV) that will be recalled on events of the Voice Files feature. (mediafiles folder)
Note: Currently you have more than 8GB of storage for messages on the internal uSD card if you use 128kb/s MP3s. That is 150 hours of messages which should be plenty. You can check the Voice Files feature for details.
Extensions
.sav
a settings file, this is the file with the last saved settings of the LUNA.
.load
This is a renamed .sav file and is used to perform a manual restore to a specific set of settings.
Opening the file browser
The file browser can be accessed using any browser on your computer. You can access it by typing in <IP address>:8080 in the address bar. You will then be asked to log in before you can use the file browser.
Example: 192.168.10.10:8080
It is also possible to access the file browser using the link that you can see when you hover your pointer on the information icon next to the voice file path.
User levels
Two user levels can access the file browser:
admin:
- The default username and password is “admin”.
- The password can be changed on the settings page when logged in.
- Admin can edit, download, and upload files.
user:
- The password is “user”.
- The password cannot be changed.
- The user can only see the files and cannot download, edit, or upload them.
- An example use case can be to see the names of the MP3 or WAV files in the file browser to recall them.
Settings
Settings can be downloaded to your computer, and these can be restored to the device later using the file browser.
In the “settings” folder on the browser, you can see different .sav files, these are the saved files of the different services running on the device. This file is updated each time a setting is changed related to this service, and before shutting down.
We discourage doing anything other than downloading these files, to avoid issues and confusion.
Because this file is continuously overwritten, it’s not possible to simply change this file to restore an older setting. For this, we introduced .load files. They are in every way the same as a .sav file, but this file is only read by the application, never written to.
Example: Performing a backup of the settings in the LUNA and restoring them later. Download the “luna.sav” file to your computer. This is a snapshot of the current settings.
1. Download the current settings file: “luna.sav” from the file browser to your computer.
2. Experiment with the current settings, the “luna.sav” on the device will be overwritten during this process.
To restore the old settings:
1. Rename the extension of downloaded “luna.sav” as “luna.load”. You may receive a warning on Windows, you can ignore this warning.
2. Upload the “luna.load” settings file to the same folder in the file browser where “luna.sav” is located.
3. Reboot the device.
More in-depth explanation
Only when the device (re)boots, the settings are loaded from the file system. The application first searches for its save file with the “.load” extension (e.g. “luna.load”). If this file exists, it will load the settings from this file, save this into “.sav” (“luna.sav”), and delete the .load file.
If this file does not exist, it will read the settings from the .sav (“luna.sav”) file.
If no .sav file exists, the LUNA will load the default settings (this is the same as performing a factory reset).
Event Handler
Fundamentally, the event handler differs from a timer scheduler in that it enables multiple actions to be triggered by a single event or recurrence that can be further tailored with rules. Configuration can be performed using the AUDAC Touch. GPIO or timed events can all trigger the event handler.
Note: Up to 100 events can be created using the event handler.
Note: In order for the event handler to work, the time region should be set correctly on the device settings.
