7 OPERATING THE DX1

The DX1 can be used in two ways:

1. Using pre loaded factory presets to configure the DX1 for use with

Martin Audio products.

2. As a generic digital loudspeaker management system. Note: this

requires the user to configure the DX1 manually, i.e. by entering

crossover information via the controls on the front panel. The DX1 is

equipped with 19 user memories for storing these configurations.

8 USING FACTORY PRESETS

The DX1 is supplied pre loaded with the most common configurations for all

our current product ranges that require or benefit from the use of a system

controller. This section shows how to get up and running quickly by loading

and configuring a factory preset without having to read the entire manual.

Loading a factory preset

1. Turn the unit on via the mains switch on the rear panel. The unit

displays the version number of the factory preset file and starts the

‘wake up’ routine. After ten seconds the unit becomes operational and

is now ready to load a preset.

2. Press MENU followed by ENTER. The display will read "Load a

crossover". Press ENTER again. When using the unit for the first time

the display shows "1:". This is the first of the 19 user memories. At

this stage all of the user memories will be empty. Use the FREQ

control to scroll forward to the required preset (see Appendix 3), the

factory presets start at number 20. Note: If you have already loaded a

preset previously the display will show the name and number of the last

preset that you loaded.

3. Once the required preset is displayed, press ENTER. The display will

prompt "[ENTER] for Recall.", press ENTER and the preset will

instantly be loaded. Note: if you have already loaded a preset in to the

unit and want to load a different preset you will be prompted "Different

crossover ??? [ENTER] for Recall." after you press ENTER. Press

ENTER again and the selected preset will be loaded in place of the

previous one.

Note: If no action is taken after ten seconds in the menu mode the unit

will return to normal 'default' mode. Repeat instructions 2. and 3. to

return to menu mode.
