Menu Functions
Master reset
A master reset restores the DFC's factory settings
and deletes its filter database. Because new filters
can only be uploaded to the DFC via a connected PC
and the Audio Controller Software, the master reset
option is only available when the DFC is connected
to a PC via Midi loop and PC/Midi interface and the
HK AUDIO
® Audio Controller software has been
launched.
The DFC will not operate without the speaker
filters. For this reason, the master reset option is
password-protected and may only be activated by
HK AUDIO
® service staff.
1.9 Remote Control and Remote
Monitoring
The DFC's Midi port lets you control and monitor
up to 32 DFCs remotely using a PC. The DFC connects
to the PC via a special HK AUDIO
® interface. To
this end, all DFCs are connected in a loop starting
at the dongle's Midi Out port (from the dongle's
Midi Out to the first DFC's Midi In, from the first
DFC's Midi Out to the second DFC's Midi In, and
so forth until the final DFC's Midi Out is connected
to the dongle's Midi In). The dongle connects to
the PC via a serial interface (COM, RS 232). You can
monitor the DFC's temperature and peak limiter
status and view and edit all of the DFC's variable
parameters using HK AUDIO
® Audio Controller PC
Software.
In addition, the HK AUDIO
® DFC PC Software offers
convenient options for handling several DFCs at
the same time by grouping them, as well as for cre-
ating for even very complex sound reinforcement
systems. This lets you switch configurations swiftly
and easily (see also the chapter Audio Controller
Software).
