OPERATION
There are two methods of creating and selecting programs on the DS48.
1.The first method uses the front panel controls of the unit and requires
stepping through menus to access the proper parameters that need
adjusting. Once programs have been saved to the onboard memory, call-
ing up a program is quite simple. See QUICKSTART for an example of nav-
igating and creating a program.
2.The second method uses the included Graphical User Interface (GUI)
software run on a Windows PC. The computer connects to the DS48 and
gives a more global view of the parameters and the choices for settings.
This is the most efficient method to create the programs you use most and
want to save to memory on the unit. They can then be called up as need-
ed. If an adjustment is required and it is not convenient to hook up a PC,
the edits can be made from the front panel controls of the unit. The
Sysomax software also lets you monitor and remote control a DS-48 in real
time from your computer.
NOTE: More detailed descriptions of how the various functions work are in
Section 8, Creating A Program.
7.1 Navigating Front Panel Controls
There are six buttons and three encoder knobs on the front panel, as well as mute but-
tons for each of the outputs. In conjunction with the display, the six buttons and three
knobs let you create, edit, save, recall and delete programs. You can also set security lev-
els as to how much access to the programming menus, if any, is available to multiple
users.
When the unit powers up, it will display the currently selected program by showing either
the crossover type or a name for that program that has been selected and saved.
7.1.1 Hints for Operation:
The MENU and GAIN buttons access the different levels of the available selections.
MENU is used to access submenus for Crossover, Security, Subsystem and Interface.
The GAIN button is used to access specific parameters for a configuration
NOTE: In some sub-MENU items, both the arrow keys and the FREQ knob will select
different parameter values. If you get to a spot where you need to step back and the
