7 . 3 Signal Routing

In order to pass signal, these tasks must be completed, as detailed in the sections listed.

1.Select the type of input signal connected to the XLR input connectors (5.3.3).

2.Assign one or two sources (input connector signals) to each input channel (7.4.1).

3.For each input channel, select a Greybox or Generic Processing (7.4.2).

4.Assign each Greybox or Generic Processing leg to an output channel (7.4.2.5).

7 . 4 CH (Input Channels A to D)

Use the CH function to set the parameters for Input ChannelsAto D by selecting theAto D buttons.

7.4.1SRC - SOURCE 1 / SOURCE 2

Select either a single source or a sum of two sources. The same source can be selected for multiple Input Channels. The source choices available depend on the configuration of the Inputs as set in the UTIL menu.

None

Analog A / AES A CH 1

Analog B / AES A CH 2

Analog C / AES B CH 1

Analog D / AES B CH 2

U-Net 1 to 32

7.4.2TYPE

Type:

Select the particular loudspeaker model to be used.

G.F. level:

Focused means the processing uses Gunness Focusing

 

Legacy means the processing does not use Gunness Focusing

rev:

The current revision number for the selected file

When the TYPE function is selected, follow this sequence of steps:

1.Scroll through the list of loudspeaker and array products and select the desired Greybox model. Select “Generic Processing” to have that Input Channel and the Output Channel(s) to which it is assigned function in System Processor mode with all input and output parameters fully user adjustable.

When set for generic processing, the Input Channel processing can be adjusted using the UX8800 front panel. However, Output Channel processing can only be adjusted using EAWPilot software. It cannot be adjusted from the UX8800 front panel.

2.Reset Input DSP: Select Yes to reset the input settings (EQ, delay, polarity, and/or gain) to their default values or select No to retain the current settings. This setting affects the entire loudspeaker or array. The input name and signal routing settings are not affected.

3.HPF Freq: If enabled for the selected loudspeaker model, scroll through and select the frequency. The range will depend on the particular loudspeaker model. This setting affects the entire loudspeaker or array. (See Section 7.7 for details.)

4.LPF Freq: If enabled for the selected loudspeaker model, scroll through and select the frequency. The range will depend on the particular loudspeaker model. This setting affects the entire loudspeaker or array. (See Section 7.7 for details.)

5.Out: Select the output to be used for the loudspeaker’s subsystem (referred to herein as “leg”).

6.Amp Gain: Scroll through and select the Amp Gain for the amplifier connected to that output channel. (See Section 7.5.3 for details.)

7.Vrms: Scroll through and select the Max Voltage (maximum rms voltage) for the amplifier connected to that output channel. (See Section 7.5.4 for details).

8.Listener Distance: Scroll through and set the Listener Distance for the array or loudspeaker to the closest part of the audience area covered by the portion of the array to which the pre- emphasis is applied.

9.Repeat steps 3 to 7 as applicable for the other selected loudspeaker or array legs or subsystems.
