6 – DX810 OUTPUTS A/B These 3-pin Phoenix-type connectors supply a balanced line-level signal from OUTPUTS A and B . LOGIC I/O This 25-pin D-Sub connector provides 10 logic control inputs and 10 logic control outputs (open-collector). These inputs can be used to control a wide variety of DX810 functions via external switching. The outputs can be [...]

DX810 – 7 3. INST ALLA TION CONNECTIONS Connecting Balanced Sources Use high-quality three-conductor cable for balanced connections, such as Star Quad by Belden, Canare, or Mogami, etc. The better the shield, the better the audio signal is protected from induced EMI and RFI. Note: With screw-down connectors, it ’ s best to use stranded wire tha[...]

8 – DX810 Connecting the LOGIC I/O This is a 25-pin D-Sub connector . There are 10 programmable logic inputs and 10 programmable log ic outputs. In addition, there is an 11th fixed logic output to indicate "System OK." They are all active- low circuits. Use 22 gauge wire for these connections. N/C GROUND SYSTEM OK LOGIC OUT 11 LOGIC OUT[...]

10 – DX810 Bus A and B Input T rim There is no metering after the BUS A and B input TRIM controls. These controls must be adjusted by ear . Start the program source playback for all sources connected to the BUS A or BUS B input. Slowly increase the TRIM control to the center position (12 o ’ clock), which is unity gain. Then adjust the TRIM con[...]

DX810 – 11 USING THE DIRECT OUTPUTS The DIRECT OUTPUTS provide an unbalanced line- level signal from each of the 8 Input channels. This signal comes from the output of the preamplifier stage on each input channel, prior to the A/D converter and subsequent digital signal processing. Use the DIRECT OUTPUTS to connect a continuous music source (e.g.[...]

12 – DX810 The logic functions assigned to each individual logic input and output are configured using the DX- 810-PC application. In addition, each logic input and output can be assigned a descriptive name (up to 32 characters) for easier identification within the PC application. Note: Logic I/O functions are set from the PC application only . L[...]

DX810 – 13 Preset Active A logic output can indicate when a particular preset is active. Force On A logic output can indicate when a particular input or group is being forced on. Priority active A logic output can indicate when a particular input or group force-on priority is active. Combine active A logic output can indicate when a particular co[...]

14 – DX810 CONNECTING A PC Use a standard DB9 (male/female) computer cable to connect a PC to the DX810. The DX-810-PC application uses COM1 on the PC by default. Y ou can select a different COM port by clicking on Advanced in the top menu bar and selecting Configure COM Ports . Refer to “ Configure COM Ports ” on page 16 for more information[...]

22 – DX810 3. Combining only affects crosspoints and outputs that are assigned to control groups (see rule 1). Any crosspoint or output that is part of a combination, but is not assigned to a control group, will be muted when the combination is inactive, and audible when the combination is active. 4. Multiple combinations can be activated at the [...]
