ENGLISH
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The iCOLOR4 Mk2 can be controlled in 5 different ways:
1. Standalone 1unit:
Just connect the unit to the mains and put on some music. The unit will start working
automatically to the rhythm of the music.
2. Two or more units in master/slave setup:
Connect 2 or more units together using good quality balanced
XLR microphone cables (like for example JB Systems code 7-
0063). The unit that has no cable connected to its input will react
as master; the others are the slave units. Don't forget to set the
DIP switches on the units as shown on the right!
3. Connect the optional CA-8 or CA-8F controller for more control:
The CA-8 controller can only be used in standalone or master/slave mode. The CA-8F
foot controller is very handy for use on stage! Its functions are identical to those of CA-
8. Connect the controller to the jack input of the first unit (master). Now you can control
all the connected units:

• STANDBY BUTTON:

Press this button to start/stop blackout mode on all connected
units. The led is ON when the blackout function is active.
• MODE/FUNCTION BUTTONS:
With the MODE button you can select 3 different modes:
• The LED is off: The iCOLOR4 Mk2 is in Sound mode
colors change to the rhythm of the music. When you set the
music sensitivity button to zero, the colors will slowly
change. With the FUNCTION button you can select 2
different strobe functions.
• The LED is blinking: with the FUNCTION button you can
control the electronic dimmer circuit.
• The LED is on: The iCOLOR4 Mk2 is in manual mode (not
sound activated). With the FUNCTION button you can select
the desired colors.

4. Connect the optional CA-32 Colormix controller for even more control:
This controller makes it very easy to control the
iCOLOR4 Mk2: you can select predefined colors,
select different color chases, color fades, etc.
Also chase speed and master dimmer can be
adapted. Check the user manual of this unit to learn
more about its functions.
The CA-32 Colormix can even be further extended
with the CA-32F foot controller for maximum control
on stage! Most functions of the CA-32 can be
controlled by the 4 foot switches.
5. Controlled by universal DMX-controller:
The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light
equipment. You need to "daisy chain" your DMX controller and all the connected light
effects with a good quality XLR M/F balanced cable (ex. JB Systems ref. 7-0063). To
prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use a 90Ω
to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this simply
won't work!
Each light effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows
which commands from the controller it has to decode.
• How to set the DIP-switches to obtain the right starting address:
On the back of the iCOLOR4 Mk2 you will see that each of the first 9 DIP-switches
corresponds to certain value:
Dip #1 #2 #3 #4 #5
Value 1 2 4 8 16
You can combine the values of these switches to become any starting address
between 1 and 512:
Begin address = 01 switch 1=ON
Begin address = 05 switch 1+3=ON
Begin address = 09 switch 1+4=ON
Begin address = 13 switch 1+3+4=ON
...
Begin address = 62 switch 2+3+4+5+6=ON values: 2+4+8+16+32 = 62
