Example 1) Ballroom where the Room Combiner can be used

MRX Setup Manual 37

12. Input [Combined] and click the [OK] button.

A snapshot named [Combined] will display in “Snapshot.”

Now you’re finished setting the snapshots. When you recall the [Split] snapshot, the room will be split; and when you recall

the [Combined] snapshot, the rooms will be combined.

Example 1) Ballroom where the Room Combiner can be used

MRX Setup Manual 38

In this example, we’ll see how we can avoid the unnecessary use of DCP switches and knobs, such as by assigning a single

fader to a stereo pair of inputs (such as a Blu-Ray player or AUX In), or by making a single ON button for both L and R.

Here we’ll create a parameter link group that links multiple parameters such as levels or ON/OFF, so that we can change

multiple parameters at the same time with a DCP knob or button.

As with snapshots, parameter link groups are registered by dragging and dropping while holding down <Ctrl>. However, in

this example we will use a different method, since there are a total of 24 parameters to change. The same operation can be

used with snapshots.

1. Open the “Parameter Link Group” area on the left side of the MRX Designer, in order to

check the parameters that are registered.

Setting a parameter link group

Example 1) Ballroom where the Room Combiner can be used

MRX Setup Manual 39

2. Open the “Parameter” area on the right side of the MRX Designer.

3. Since the AUX level of Room A is adjusted using “Fader(2)” of Room A, open [Room A] →

[Fader(2)] in the “Parameters” area.

Allocates parameters to the DCP4V4S and DCP4S in each room, so that they can be changed by operating a switch or

knob.

Set the library name to “Room Split” if the room is split, and to “Room Combine” if the rooms are combined.

Allocate the following parameters to the switches and knobs. (The steps for allocating parameters will be explained later.)

-“Room Split” parameters

* The preset has not been configured at this time, so only the preset number is displayed. By recalling the preset, you will be able to

tell which preset was recalled by looking at the indicator on the DCP4S switch. (When using the DCP switch to switch the Combine

button on and off, you won’t be able to tell whether it is on or off just by looking at the DCP.)

For the “Room Combine” parameters, use the “Room Split” parameters, but change the red characters to “1” or “A.”

Now, we’ll explain how to set the parameters for switch 1 (parameter) of the DCP4V4S, and for switch 1 (preset) of the

DCP4S in Room A. This time, we’ll explain how to do this by dragging and dropping the parameters while holding <Ctrl>

using the component editor and so on; but you can also drag and drop from the “Parameters” area while holding <Ctrl>.

MRX Setup Manual 64

Verifying that the settings were applied

The main items to verify are listed below. For details on each parameter setting, refer to “MTX-MRX Editor User Guide”

and “MRX Designer User Guide.”

1. Push switch 1 of the DCP4S to recall the “Split” preset.

2. Connect an audio signal such as BGM, a Blu-Ray disc player, or AUX IN to the inputs of the

MRX7-D, and adjust the input levels.

Individually adjust the BGM input levels using “Fader(3).” The overall BGM sound can be adjusted using knob 2 on

the DCP4V4S. Individually adjust the input levels of the Blu-Ray disc player and AUX IN using “Fader(2)” and

“Fader(5).”

3. Individually adjust the output levels using “Fader(6).”

4. Adjust the input level of the mic using the “ANALOG IN” editor.

Turn the [+48V] button on as necessary.

5. Adjust the other inputs and outputs.

6. Press switch 2 of the DCP4S to recall the “Combine” preset.

Check the input and output levels.

When you need to make settings for “Split” and “Combine” but cannot operate the parameters from the DCP, register

the parameters in the “Room Combine” parameter set, storing the state before changing parameters as “Split”, and the

state after changing parameters as “Combine.”

7. Confirm the DCP settings.

Check whether the DCP is operating according to the settings.

When you have finished making all settings, save the project and switch MTX-MRX Editor offline.

This completes the settings for example 1.

NOTE

When adjusting the Blu-Ray disc player and AUX IN, make sure that the Matrix Mixer is on. Also, since the input signal that will be

accepted is based on whether the fader is on/off, use switch 3 on the DCP4V4S to switch between the two when making adjust-

ments.

NOTICE

Be sure to leave this button off if you do not need phantom power.

Follow the important precautions below, in order to prevent noise and possible damage to external devices as well as the

unit when you operate this switch.

• Be sure to leave this button off when you connect a device that does not support phantom power to [INPUT] connector.

• Do not connect/disconnect a cable to/from [INPUT] connector while this button is on.

• Down the output level to the minimum before operating this button.

NOTE

There is no master switch. To avoid malfunctions, be sure to set this appropriately for the equipment that is connected.

In this example, we’ll do various things to make the best use of the MCP1’s switches, such as combining two faders of a

stereo output into a single fader, and combining the L/R ON buttons into a single button.

We’ll create parameter link groups that combine multiple level-type or on/off-type parameters, so that a switch of the

MCP1 can control multiple parameters simultaneously.

As for a snapshot, you can register parameters by holding down <Ctrl> while you drag and drop, but since there are a total

of 24 parameters to be registered for this example, we’ll use a different method to register them.

1. In the left side of MRX Designer, open the “Parameter Link Group” area.

This is opened in order to check the parameters that have been registered.

Verifying that the settings were applied

The main items to verify are listed below. For details on each parameter’s settings, refer to “MTX-MRX Editor User’s

Guide” and “MRX Designer User’s Guide.”

1. In “Output Ch.” User Defined Block, set “Speaker Processor” to a value appropriate for the

speaker.

2. Input audio signals from the analog inputs and stereo inputs into the MRX7-D, and adjust

the input levels.

To check the input levels, you can use the “Fader” component editor and the “Fader” component editor within the

“Source Mix” User Defined Block.

3. Adjust the EQ using the “PEQ” located inside the “Output Ch.” User Defined Block.

Since the Studio and Spin Area use mics, make adjustments while inputting sound to the mics.

4. While inputting sound to the mic, adjust the parameters of the components in the “Input

Ch. Strip” User Defined Block.

5. Operate the PGM1 to verify that paging broadcast occurs correctly.

6. Operate the DCP and MCP1 units to verify that they work correctly.

When you have finished making all settings, save the project and switch MTX-MRX Editor offline.

This completes the settings for example 3.
