A preset is a snapshot of all the parameters in the unit. One can store and recall presets using the buttons located on the control panel. Once a preset has been stored on the amplifier it can then be saved as a separate file through the File Menu in System Architect, the File Menu on the I-Tech HD or USP4 main control panel, through the Preset Manager control panel, or the USB Port on the front of an I-Tech HD,.
Pressing the recall button on the main control panel will bring up a dialog box that allows one to select what preset should be recalled. One can also recall a preset through the front panel controls of the amplifier.
Upon hitting the store button, the store dialog pops up. It allows you to specify a location and change the name of the preset. You also can select a color for categorizing the presets, such as orange for a JBL preset. Pressing the OK button will store the preset. Cancel will cancel the operation, including the renaming of the preset.
Some presets are factory defined and indicated by a lock icon and cannot be overwritten.
