DM Series Installation Guide
Rio Rancho, NM 15
Inputs Matrix Outputs
The DM can be configured in the installation or a
configuration file can be created off line in advance.
The minimum required setup to pass audio includes:
Inputs, Matrix and Outputs. Input and output filters,
compressors and delays are used to tailor the system
for specific audio situations. While these parameters
can be set up through the front panel LCD and controls,
the Control Panel GUI offers a much more robust and
intuitive interface.
Initial Setup Hints
1) The GUI interface is quite intuitive. As a recom-
mended first step, we suggest you select Labels
from the Menu Bar and type in all the input and
output labels. This will simplify further setup steps
because you will be able to easily keep track of
which input or output you are adjusting.
2) The right click is powerful in this interface. You can
activate quick access to a number of setup func-
tions (for example - right click in any input box in
the INPUTS tab ). It also allows some powerful
cut and paste capabilities - especially in the matrix
setup and the filter (both input and output).
3) Store startup settings in a startup default preset.
(See Storing and Recalling Presets in the online
HELP application.)
4) Presets will take about 4 seconds to switch due to
the many parameters in the unit - audio will switch
off temporarily during a preset switch to avoid feed-
back. If you need quicker response with no inter-
ruption to the audio, use macros instead - try using
the macro recorder for making any changes. The
only changes that cannot be made in a macro are
filter adjustments. such as EQ.
5) Store presets after changes are made and not be-
fore they are made.
6) Help is always available by clicking Help on the
Main Menu Bar. This Help is a comprehensive
resource and includes the latest revisions to the
software and firmware.
IMPORTANT: ANY CHANGES MADE DURING
SETUP MUST BE SAVED IN THE UNIT VIA THE
PRESET MENU.
