QSC Audio DSP-30 manual Use Saving Presets Using QSC’s Signal Manager software

Use: Saving Presets Using QSC’s Signal Manager software

Presets

The DSP-30 must be loaded with your desired presets using the Signal Manager program before use. Test all new presets for expected behavior at low power levels to avoid inadvertently damaging speaker systems.

The DSP-30 has eight Preset memories numbered 1 through 8. Presets are DSP configurations saved to memory in the DSP. Only one preset may be active at one time. The possible configurations 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 Man- ager software. For help creating configurations, refer to the software’s on-line Help system for detailed information.

Configuring the DSP-30’s Presets

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

How to Save Presets into the DSP-30

1- Connect the DSP-30 to the PC using a 9-pin serial cable. Run the Signal Manager program. The preset configuration that is running in the DSP will be displayed on the Signal Manager workspace. It should match the front panel LED display of the DSP-30.

2- 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.’

3- 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.

4- Once the DSP is programmed with the configuration, the text banner at the top of the workspace will reflect the selected Preset Identification Number, as should the front panel LED of the DSP-30.

NOTE! When programming presets into the DSP-30, be sure that the preset selected is the one you wish to overwrite. Once the configuration is applied to the DSP-30, the selected preset’s previous information is overwritten.
