1. HDANYWHERE logo: Indicator light. If this light is on and solid then MHUB AUDIO has power and is on.
2. MHUB AUDIO logo: Indicator light. If this light is on and solid then MHUB AUDIO has power and is on. If the light is flashing then MHUB AUDIO is in detection mode.
3. Input (1-4): Input level presence indicator light. This light has 4 modes (Off/Flashing/Solid/Red): Off, Flashing & Solid are all OK for normal operation. Depending on the
input level this will determine the behaviour of the light. If the light is Red then the input is being overloaded and it’s recommended that you adjust the level down.
Solid light: -19.5dB
Red light (overload): +4.6dB
4. Output Meter (A-D): Amplier power indicator. There are four thresholds indicated by different colours. Green, Yellow and Red.
Green light on: -20dB
Yellow light on: -14dB
Red light on: -10dB
All lights on: 0dB
If all lights are on then MHUB AUDIO’s ampliers are operating at full power. HDANYWHERE does not recommend that you operate MHUB AUDIO at this level as this can
damage the life expectancy of your system and will negatively affect the audio quality (distortion and clipping). Levels and gain can be managed from within MHUB-OS
(see page 24-25). When MHUB AUDIO is setup correctly these lights should operate within the Green and Yellow ranges with occasional peaking in to the Red being OK.
Depending on your devices/settings you may not see the lights operate at all. This is also OK.

MHUB control methods
MHUB AUDIO has been designed to be operated and controlled in numerous ways depending on your requirements. There are no control buttons on the front of the MHUB
AUDIO (see MHUB AUDIO (6x4) Front Panel). This MHUB has been designed to be located centrally and its control methods are primarily those which do not require line of
sight to the unit. The methods to control MHUB AUDIO and considerations for each are listed below.
uControl
Available on iOS and Android, uControl is MHUB AUDIO’s native method of control. All of MHUB AUDIO’s built-in features are available; offering comprehensive control over
switching, volume, grouping, executing Sequences and mute states in all zones. uControl communicates over the same Local Area Network (LAN) as your MHUB AUDIO
which allows for global control over the entire system regardless of what zone you are in.
Voice
All MHUB systems support voice control as standard via an Amazon Echo (Alexa) device. Voice control is not designed to act as a primary control method but to assist the
other methods listed on this page. Using voice it is possible to control volume adjustments (“set volume to 25%”), muting and switching input from any zone.
Third-party control system
Control via a third-party control system is also supported using our latest and most advanced API to date. For an up-to-date list of systems that MHUB AUDIO supports
please visit the “Control Drivers” section of our support site: http://support.hdanywhere.com. Control varies depending on the control system being used but typically,
switching, volume and mute control is supported.
MHUB-OS
Any device with a web browser can control MHUB AUDIO directly from the MHUB-OS dashboard. From here it is possible to control switching, volume and mute states.
MHUB-OS is also where all conguration for MHUB AUDIO can be done.
Infrared (IR)
This is a legacy method of control. If you would like to use IR as your control method then you will need to purchase an IR Receiver and congure your remote control device
to output MHUB AUDIO’s IR control commands. IR codes can be found on our support site: http://support.hdanywhere.com. This method of control requires line of sight with
the MHUB system as there is no way to send an IR command from any zone back to the MHUB device. HDANYWHERE’s recommendation is not to use this method other
than for testing the system should no LAN be present.
