 In the rack in the Tardis, we use a Soundweb 9088iis DSP to provide speaker-specific EQs and most importantly limiters. This specific DSP used to run the main PA in The Cube as part of the old SUSU system before they upgraded to [[https://bssaudio.com/en/products/blu-160|Soundweb Blu]] In the rack in the Tardis, we use a Soundweb 9088iis DSP to provide speaker-specific EQs and most importantly limiters.

 You can change two settings on the Soundweb without opening the software. These are setting the input to either ''SOUND LOOM'' or ''3.5mm Jack'' (for tunes) using a two-pole switch, and setting the ''VOLUME'' for the ''3.5mm Jack'' input only. Volume control is bypassed when ''LOOM'' is set to the source. You can change two settings on the Soundweb without opening the software.

-So before we continue, i'd just like to say **DONT REMOVE THE LIMITERS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOURE DOING**. They've been set so you //should// be able to turn any of the main PA (Blackline F10s + Sub) to max, connected through the main 4-channel amp specifically, and nothing bad should happen. An example of someone ignoring this happened in Stags in 2017 when someone removed the limiters and popped every single top during a grad ball gig. The next day it sounded like music was playing from a bluetooth speaker inside a sofa. Anyway we've sidetracked, how to configure the Soundweb.+So before we continue, i'd just like to say **DONT REMOVE THE LIMITERS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOURE DOING**.

 Open up Soundweb designer on the Sound PC. This should auto-connect to the soundweb over RS232 and display the design. If it doesn't, load the design from disk and then go to "Network"->"Search for devices". If it asks you to "Load" the device, you've selected the wrong file (try again), or someone's changed it and not saved it. Notably, you can't extract the design file from the soundweb (it's compiled), so someone should keep a backup of it somewhere. If in doubt, ask someone.  Open up Soundweb designer on the Sound PC.
