Click the letter button when a processing window is showing (except Gate and Input EQ) to adjust the processing options for that output.

Use the box to the right of the Output Section to enter a name for the output (e.g., Main Left, Control R), using up to 32 characters.

GROUP SECTION

This section includes the 32 control groups. Eight groups are displayed at one time. However, the horizontal fader at the bottom allows you to scroll through all the control groups.

There is a mute and select button associated with each Control Group.

To assign or unassign a crosspoint or output to a group:

1.Click the select (S) button for the desired group. If any crosspoints or outputs are assigned to the selected group, their select buttons light.

2.Click the select (S) button for the crosspoints you want to assign to the selected group. The group fader affects the mix level for each crosspoint to a single output.

3.Click the SELECT button in the Input Section to assign the input fader to the selected group. The group fader affects the mix level for each input to all the outputs.

4.Click the associated letter button (A-J) in the Output Section to assign an output to the selected group. The group fader affects a single output level.

5.Click the Groups button in the Top Section to view and verify group assignments.

Group assignments are saved in each preset. This allows different combinations of crosspoints, inputs, and outputs to be assigned to the same group number in separate presets.

Click the (M) button to mute the group. This mutes all crosspoints, inputs, and outputs assigned to the group. Click the Mute Ind button to view the Active Mute Groups indicator.

Ctrl+click the (M) button to engage the enable (E) function. This mutes the group normally, and

unmutes it when the enable button is on (active). Ctrl+click the enable (E) button to change back to the mute function.

Exclusive Enable Program Selection

Control Groups can be enabled exclusively; that is, when one group is enabled, other groups are automatically disabled so that only one group is active at a time. Use this feature to configure a zone so that one input at a time can be selected in the mix. Up to eight programs (inputs) can be selected individually in a room using two DX-SW4 remote control units configured to select (force on) groups.

To configure groups for Exclusive Enable:

1.For this example, use Groups 1-4. Ctrl+click the (M) button on Groups 1-4 to engage the enable function. The (M) will change to an (E).

2.Click the select button (S) for the first group. For this example, use Groups 1-4.

3.Ctrl+click the select button for the second group. The button will start blinking.

4.Ctrl+click the select button for the remaining groups (3-4) that you want to associate with the exclusive enable function.

5.Click the select button for the first group to turn it off. The other three select buttons stop blinking.

6.Click the select button for the second group.

7.Ctrl+click the select buttons for the first, third, and fourth groups.

8.Click the select button for the second group to turn it off.

9.Click the select button for the third group, and Ctrl+click the select buttons for the first, second, and fourth groups. Click the select button for the third group to turn it off.

10.Click the select button for the fourth group, and Ctrl+click the select buttons for the first, second, and third groups. Click the select button for the fourth group to turn it off.

Now when you click on the enable buttons for Groups 1-4, only one at a time can be selected.

The group fader controls the relative level for all the crosspoints, inputs, and outputs assigned to it. At the unity gain position (U), all the levels are at their assigned values and the group fader has no effect. Reduce the group fader 10 dB, and all the levels assigned to that group are reduced 10 dB, relative to their assigned value. Note that the group fader can increase the level 10 dB. However, if an assigned level is already at +10 dB, it will not change. The maximum overall gain available for any crosspoint, input, or output is +10 dB.

Use the box at the bottom of the Group Section to enter a name for the group (e.g., Voc,

Drum), using up to 32 characters.
