An object is to reduce weight load acting on a connecting member that connects a speaker unit and a bracket and keep the weight balance of the right and left of the speaker unit. A speaker unit mounting bracket is provided with a voltage converter, a base plate, and a cover. The cover covers the voltage converter and the base plate.

A parameter controlling apparatus has a CPUand operation input portionandwhich include an operating areawhose operated position can be detected, and accept input operation. The CPUdetects whether the operation input portion is operated in the first manner or the second manner in accordance with the accepted input operation, and detects the content of the input operation of the operating area. In a case where the first manner has been detected, the CPUalso changes a value of a target parameter in accordance with the content of the input operation of the operating area. In a case where the second manner has been detected, the CPUalso switches a type of a target parameter in accordance with the content of the input operation of the operating area

Parameter controlling apparatus

It is determined whether user's operation performed on a control is normal or special operation. A function of increasing or decreasing a value of a parameter assigned to the control is performed if the user's operation is the normal operation. Another function, different from the function of increasing or decreasing a value of a parameter, is performed if the user's operation is the special operation. The control comprises, for example, a touch pad provided with a display device for displaying a current operating position of the control. If a user touches one point of the pad with its finger or touches one point of the pad and then continuously slides its finger on and along the pad, such user's operation is determined to be the normal operation. If the user touches or taps two or more points of the pad, such user's operation is determined to be the special operation.

Audio signal controller

A system includes at least one controller device connectable to a computer where a mixer function is implemented by application software. The controller device includes: a communication interface connectable to the computer; a plurality of faders capable of remote-controlling parameters of channels assigned thereto; a channel shift button; and a bank shift button. The channels assigned to the faders are collectively shifted by one channel in response to an instruction given via the channel shift button, or collectively shifted by the one bank in response to an instruction given via the bank shift button. For each of the controller devices, identification information of the controller device and information of a first channel of all of the assigned channels is stored so that the stored information is used at the time of activation of the software for restoring previous settings stored at the time of last deactivation of the software.
