Setup of MIX4
The basic idea is that all relevant parameters that cannot be altered by MIX4 remote will be set by the
Setup software. In this way the MIX4 can be adapted to various conditions and production environments.
In some installations the remote control of devices such as CD players or digital playback units is required.
In other installations, people need fast and random shuffle of sources with automatic reset of all preset
parameters (e.g., offset gain, EQ, dynamics, bus assignment, starting and stopping of playback devices, On
Air signal activation, etc.)
All of these requirements can be configured very easily by the Setup software.
In principle the MIX4 system differentiates between setting of basic functions (AKA “device parameters”) and
the settings of audio and control parameters related to the 14 possible local sources.
When turning the MIX4 on for the first time it will be started with a set of standard parameters which relate to
the hardware configuration and will ensure moderate levels at the analogue outputs.
All GPI inputs and Tally outputs will be disabled.
All inputs will be enabled for source selection.
All inputs are in stereo mode.
Both microphone inputs are set up for MIC / phantom power off
All DSP parameters are set to flat (off) / Channel DSP=off
All Channel Strips are assigned to BUS 1
With this, you can go ahead with some applications instantly without installing a dedicated Setup.
This is the starting condition as it were so called the factory default settings. It can be recalled at any time
during operation by initializing the MIX4.
By simply pressing the Setup buttons #1 <USER> and #6 <no label> buttons together.
Turning power on and off does not do this – cycling power brings things back just as they
were stored - not initialized.
Important note! One should keep in mind that beside of the setup settings all individual operator settings will
be lost if they have not yet been saved! Because the MIX4 will be reset to factory default values.
If the DSP group “hangs” and there is a malfunction of the MIX4, you should load one Operator setting
because it will get all relevant settings back into the RAM of the MIX4.
For general system settings, a Setup software is part of the package. The Setup software can be installed
on any standard PC running WIN 98SE or higher (XP professional is recommended).
Connection between the PC and MIX4 Base Unit is done via any of the PC’s serial port COMx or via the
network. The serial transfer rate will automatically be set to 57,6kbit/s. Cable length should not exceed 10m.
One can also connect the PC via a CAT5 cross over cable.
This serial connection is essential for firmware updates of the MIX4.
Important note! A firmware update is not possible over the network.
Important note! If one is using his own cable it is essential to disconnect pin 8 and 9 (either by cutting
them off from a 1:1 cable or disconnecting the wires in any way).
When you close the Setup software it automatically generates an INI file in the same directory to store user
specific settings.
Important note! After starting the Setup software it will be in offline mode. First of all it is required to read via
“from Device” the status of the unit to work with these data.
Following all pages of the Setup software will be explained in detail :
