Presets

The MPX Plus 866 A can store up to 32 presets. Presets saved via the

DSP Configurator program are partial presets, and can include both selected ties and selected audio signal processing settings made in the program. Partial presets, when recalled (by any means), overwrite only a portion of the current configuration, leaving other ties and settings unchanged, and are useful when only selected ties and/or settings, such as for a particular room, need to be changed.

Save a Preset

Before you save a preset using the DSP Configurator program, you must select, or mark, the desired ties and signal processor blocks. Save a preset as follows:

1. Mark the desired video and/or line audio ties as desired:

a. Click or right-click > Mark an output node (). The node is marked by a green outline ().

The output and the tied input are selected to be saved as a preset. b. Ctrl-click or right-click > Mark additional outputs as desired.

T• If an input is tied to multiple outputs, and you want the entire set of ties saved as a preset, mark each output to save that tie.

To mark multiple successive outputs (marking all outputs selects all ties), mark the uppermost output node as described in step 1a. Then, Shift-click an output node under it to mark all of the outputs between the two nodes.

2. Mark the desired mic mix-points:

a. Click or right-click > Mark a mix-point (). The point is marked by a green outline ().

The mic/line input, the mixed output, and all mix settings are selected to be saved as a preset.

b. Ctrl-click or right-click > Mark additional mix-points as desired.

T • To mark the same mic/line input mix-point for a successive series of outputs, mark the leftmost or rightmost mix-point as described in

step 2a. Then, Shift-click a mix-point to the left or right of it to mark each mix- point in the row (mix the mic/line input to each output).

To mark the same output mix-point for a successive series of mic/line inputs, mark the uppermost mix-point as described in step 2a. Then, Shift- click a mix-point under it to mark each mix-point in the column (mix the output to each mic/line input).
