Processor Use: Saving Presets Using QSC’s Signal Manager software

Presets

Each Processor must be loaded with your desired signal processing configu- ration using the Signal Manager program before use. Test all new configura- tions for expected behavior at low power levels to avoid inadvertently damaging speaker systems.

Each Processor has eight Preset memories numbered 1 through 8. Presets are DSP configurations saved to memory in the Processor. Only one preset may be active at one time. The possible configura- tions of the presets are essentially limitless. You will need to configure the preset memories with signal chains that meet the precise requirements of your sound system using QSC’s Signal Manager software. For help creating configurations, refer to the software’s on-line Help system for detailed information.

Configuring the Processors

The DSP configurations created with the Signal Manager software are not usable until they are applied or saved as a Preset to the Processor. The software includes a collection of various sample configura- tions for your use. Modify and save them as your own configurations if they prove useful in your applica- tions. You may also create your own to precisely fit your audio system. Once a configuration has been created and saved, it may be loaded (or applied) into a processor.

How to Save Configurations into a Processor’s Preset

1- Connect the Processor to the PC using a 9-pin serial cable.

2- Turn the 215PCM on using the AC Power Switch located near the Power Cord Entry on the rear panel.

3- Start your PC and Run the Signal Manager program. The current configuration that is run- ning in the DSP will be displayed on the Signal Manager workspace.

4- You may now create a new configuration (or modify the existing one) to be saved as a DSP preset. To create a new configuration, select Configuration/New from the menu bar. This will clear the workspace and activate the DSP tools and filter icons. If a configuration already exists in the computer, choose the Configuration/Open menu item and select the desired con- figuration from the Open window. Note that in each of these cases, the Configuration Pane at the bottom of the workspace changes from reading ‘ACTIVE’ to ‘EDIT.’

5- After creating (or editing) your configuration and making the necessary parameter changes, select Configuration/Save DSP Preset from the menu bar. Then choose the Preset Identifica- tion Number that you wish to program. Press the OK button.

6- Once the DSP is programmed with the configuration, the text banner at the top of the workspace will reflect the selected Preset Identification Number.

NOTE! When programming presets into the Processors, be sure that the preset selected is the one you wish to overwrite. Once the configuration is applied to the Processor, the se- lected preset’s previous information is overwritten.
