MTX Setup Manual 14 Example 1) Basic MTX3 system example (analog connections) Settings in the “MAIN” screen In the “MAIN” screen you can make overall settings for each channel. For details on each parameter, refer to “MTX-MRX Editor User Guide.” Here you’ll make the following settings. • • • • Channel name Channel on/off Gain and phantom power (As necessary) EQ settings MTX Setup Manual 15 Example 1) Basic MTX3 system example (analog connections) INPUT settings Port select button Port / External Device parameter access button EQ / HPF FBS (Feedback suppressor) [ON] button Fader Channel name Port select button When you click this, the “Input Patch” dialog box will open. In this example we are using the default settings, but if you want to switch to a different input port of the MTX, click this button, choose the desired input port, and then click the [Close] button. Port / External Device parameter access button This button lets you adjust the gain and turn phantom power on/off. When you click the button, a popup window will appear, allowing you to adjust the gain and turn phantom power on/off. Make the desired settings, and then in the upper right, click × to close the popup window. The appropriate gain level will depend on the devices that are connected, so set the level appropriately for your devices. For channels 1 through 8, the gain is set to 30 dB by default. Because condenser microphones are connected to CH1 and 2, leave the gain at 30 dB and turn phantom power on. Because wireless microphones are connected to CH3 and 4, lower the gain to 0 dB. EQ / HPF (High Pass Filter) Click this to switch to the “CHANNEL EDIT” screen. Adjust the EQ and HPF appropriately for the microphone you’re using. For ST IN, only EQ is available. When you want to return to the “MAIN” screen, click the [MAIN] button. FBS (Feedback suppressor) FBS is provided on input channels 1 through 4. We recommend that microphone inputs, and particularly movable microphones such as wireless microphones, be connected to channels 1 through 4. When you click here, you will switch to the FBS setting screen. When you want to return to the “MAIN” screen, click the [MAIN] button. For details on FBS settings, refer to “MTX-MRX Editor User Guide.” [ON] button This turns the channel on/off. You should turn off unused channels. Fader This adjusts the input level. Leave the fader at -∞ until the system goes online. Channel name You can double-click this to edit the name. In this example, names have been assigned as follows. CH1 Entrance CH2 Kitchen CH3 W.Mic1 CH4 W.Mic2 STIN1 CD Player STIN2 BGM STIN3 SD Player MTX Setup Manual 16 Example 1) Basic MTX3 system example (analog connections) OUTPUT settings Port select button Port / External Device parameter access button Port select button Click this to open the “Output Patch” dialog box.

Make the appropriate settings for the speakers that will be connected. NOTE Fader The pre-installed library contains speaker processor files that are appropriate for the response of various speakers. By using these files you can make speaker processor settings easily. [ON] button This button turns the channel on/off. Turn off unused channels. Channel name Fader This adjusts the output level. Channel name You can double-click this to edit the name. In this example, names have been assigned as follows. OUT1 Hall A OUT2 Hall B OUT3 Entrance OUT4 Kitchen MTX Setup Manual 17 Example 1) Basic MTX3 system example (analog connections) Settings in the “MATRIX” screen Here you can specify which input channel will be sent to which zone. For details on send level and other parameters, refer to “MTX-MRX Editor User Guide.” In this example, make the settings shown in the above illustration. Clicking a cross point (a square area) or dragging cross points will switch it on/off. If you right-click on a cross point, a context menu appears. You can select [All OFF] to turn off all cross points. The cross point shows the send level as the amount of green. With the settings shown here, the two microphones in hall A (CH3 and 4) are broadcast only to hall A. In addition, CD/ BGM/SD (STIN1–3) are being broadcast to the entire building. The microphone in the entrance (CH1) is assigned to be broadcast to the entire building in the event of an emergency, and is therefore assigned in the “ZONE” screen (described next) as 1st PRIORITY. If channel 1 is turned on in the matrix, the signal from the matrix (attenuated) and the signal from Priority will be combined and output. Similarly, the microphone in the kitchen (CH2) is assigned as 2nd PRIORITY that is valid only in zone 4 (Kitchen), and therefore is not specified in the matrix. For the input channel faders in the lower left of the screen, the grayed-out faders show input levels, and the other faders show input channel send levels. Grayed-out faders cannot be operated in this screen. ZONE 1-8 2nd PRIORITY 1st PRIORITY GR PRIORITY DUCKER ANC GR MIX PRIORITY DUCKER ANC MIX AMBIENT METER PRIORITY SOURCE PRIORITY SOURCE AMBIENT SOURCE ZONE OUT MASTER METER LEVEL D ON C A 8 To YDIF OUTPUT PATCH From INPUT CHANNEL POST ON 1-8 From STEREO INPUT CHANNEL POST ON 1L-3R From DIRECT INPUT POST ON 9-16 From ANC BUS 1-2 *1 From YDIF IN 1-16 *1 DISTRIBUTION MODE only To other MTXs Priority signal flow MTX Setup Manual 18 Example 1) Basic MTX3 system example (analog connections) Settings in the “ZONE” screen In the “ZONE” screen you can make Priority DUCKER settings. The Priority Ducker function temporarily attenuates the inputs from other channels when audio is input from a specified input channel, ensuring that the audio from the specified input channel will be broadcast clearly. Priority is given in the order of “1st PRIORITY > 2nd PRIORITY > Matrix Out signals.” ZONE select button In this example, we assume that the microphone in the entrance (CH1) will be used to speak to the entire building. Therefore, we select CH1 as the 1st PRIORITY SOURCE for zone 1 through zone 4, and click the [ON] button located at the right of 1st PRIORITY to make it light. We select the kitchen microphone (CH2) as the 2nd PRIORITY SOURCE only for zone 4 (Kitchen), and click the [ON] button located at the right of 2nd PRIORITY to make it light. Because there’s no need to make settings for zones 5 through 8, make sure that the [ON] button at the right of 1st PRIORITY and 2nd PRIORITY are unlit (turned off). Use the ZONE select buttons to switch the zone. For details on each parameter, refer to “MTX-MRX Editor User Guide.” MTX Setup Manual 19 Example 1) Basic MTX3 system example (analog connections) Settings in the “ROUTER” screen In the “ROUTER” screen you can assign zones to outputs. In this example we will leave the default settings unchanged, since the assignments are ZONE1=OUTPUT 1, ZONE2=OUTPUT 2, ZONE3=OUTPUT 3, and ZONE4=OUTPUT 4. MTX Setup Manual 20 Example 1) Basic MTX3 system example (analog connections) Digital Control Panel (DCP) settings Here’s how to assign functions to the DCP that is installed in each zone. To make these settings, choose the [Controller] menu item [Digital Control Panel]. Here we will use the example of the DCP located in Hall A of the Preset 01 Basic library. Use the drop down list at the top of the screen to select the DCP for which you want to make settings. When you click one of the numbered buttons, a “Settings” dialog box will appear; assign parameters to the controls. If you assigned [SD Song Select & Play], enter the name of the file that you want to play. When you’ve made the assignments, click to select “01 [No data]” and then click the [Save] button. In the “Save Library” dialog box, change the name to “Basic” and then click the [OK] button. In Basic, switch 1 is the preset select switch for the Party settings. Switches 3 and 4 control pause/resume for playback of audio sources on the SD memory card. The knob controls the output level of zone 1. MTX Setup Manual 21 Example 1) Basic MTX3 system example (analog connections) Next click the [Copy] button, and then click “02 [No Data]” to select the second library item. With this selected, click the [Paste] button. The library item you created as “Basic” will be copied. After changing the PARAMETER of switch 1 to “01,” double-click “Basic” in “02 Basic” located in the left of the screen, and change the name of the library item to “Party.” (After you’ve entered the name, press thekey to confirm the name change.) After making this change, click the [Save] button to overwrite-save the library item. In Party, switch 1 is the preset select switch for the Basic settings. Other settings are the same as for Basic. MTX Setup Manual 22 Example 1) Basic MTX3 system example (analog connections) Example settings for other DCP units ID of the DCP Library name 1 (Hall B) Basic 2 (Entrance) Party Switch 1 Switch 2 Switch 3 Same as ID=0 (Hall A) Switch 4 Knob 1 ZONE OUT Level (ZONE2) Same as ID=0 (Hall A) Basic Party 3 (Kitchen) Basic Party Input Ch ON (CH1) Input Ch ON (CH2) No Assign No Assign Input Ch Level (CH1) Input Ch Level (CH2) Tips By clicking the menu button ( ), you can copy and paste the Parameter Assign and Dimmer & Lock settings of the displayed library item. By copying the ID=0 settings to ID=1, you can speed up your workflow. Similarly, you can make Basic settings for ID=2 and then copy them to Party, or copy them to ID=4. Storing a preset Now we’ll store the settings we’ve made up to this point as a preset. By recalling presets from the MTX itself or from the DCP, you can switch the settings as appropriate for various situations. To store or recall a preset, click the camera icon in the upper part of MTX-MRX Editor. When you click the camera icon, the “Preset” dialog box will appear. You can create up to 50 presets. Click the preset number that you want to store; the line will be selected. Then click the [Store] button, specify the preset name, and click the [OK] button. Double-click a location where the DCP column indicates “No Assign,” and choose a library that you specified on the DCP. MTX Setup Manual 23 Example 1) Basic MTX3 system example (analog connections) Up to this point, you made separate settings for zone 1 and zone 2. However in some cases, such as a party, you might want to remove the boundary between zone 1 and zone 2 so that they can be a single meeting area. In this case, make settings in the “ROUTER” screen to route zone 1 to output 2, so that zone 1 and zone 2 can be used as a single space. MTX Setup Manual 24 Example 1) Basic MTX3 system example (analog connections) If you store these settings as a different preset, you’ll be able to easily switch to settings suitable for a party. If you use Recall Filter to specify that only ROUTER and DCP settings are recalled, other settings such as gain will remain at the Basic settings even if you recall a party preset. This completes settings in the offline state. Save the settings once again. MTX Setup Manual 25 Example 1) Basic MTX3 system example (analog connections) Connecting the equipment After you’ve rack-mounted the MTX and your other equipment, connect the MTX and the other equipment as shown below. If you’ve copied audio sources to an SD memory card, insert the card into the MTX now. Kitchen Microphone Entrance Microphone Wireless Microphone Reciever BGM Player CD Player DCP ID=3 DCP ID=2 DCP ID=1 DCP ID=0 Power Amp 1 Computer Power Amp 2 To connect the MTX to your computer, use a CAT5e or higher cable with all eight pins connected. Powering-on the MTX Turn on the power of the MTX. Turn off the amplifier before you power-off the MTX. Powering-on the amp Turn on the power of the amplifier.

OUT1 Hall A OUT2 Hall B OUT3 Entrance OUT4 Kitchen MTX Setup Manual 42 Example 2) High audio quality system with XMV and YDIF connections (digital connections) Settings in the “MATRIX” screen Here you can specify which input channel will be sent to which zone. For details on send level and other parameters, refer to “MTX-MRX Editor User Guide.” In this example, make the settings shown in the above illustration. Clicking a cross point (a square area) or dragging cross points will switch it on/off. If you right-click on a cross point, a context menu appears. You can select [All OFF] to turn off all cross points. The cross point shows the send level as the amount of green. With the settings shown here, the two microphones in hall A (CH3 and 4) are broadcast only to hall A. In addition, CD/ BGM/SD (STIN1–3) are being broadcast to the entire building. The microphone in the entrance (CH1) is assigned to be broadcast to the entire building in the event of an emergency, and is therefore assigned in the “ZONE” screen (described next) as 1st PRIORITY. If channel 1 is turned on in the matrix, the signal from the matrix (attenuated) and the signal from Priority will be combined and output. Similarly, the microphone in the kitchen (CH2) is assigned as 2nd PRIORITY that is valid only in zone 4 (Kitchen), and therefore is not specified in the matrix. For the input channel faders in the lower left of the screen, the grayed-out faders show input levels, and the other faders show input channel send levels. Grayed-out faders cannot be operated in this screen.

The Priority Ducker function temporarily attenuates the inputs from other channels when audio is input from a specified input channel, ensuring that the audio from the specified input channel will be broadcast clearly. Priority is given in the order of “1st PRIORITY > 2nd PRIORITY > Matrix Out signals.” ZONE select button In this example, we assume that the microphone in the entrance (CH1) is used for broadcasting to the entire building. Therefore, we select CH1 as the 1st PRIORITY SOURCE for zone 1 through zone 4, and click the [ON] button located at the right of 1st PRIORITY to make it light. We select the kitchen microphone (CH2) as the 2nd PRIORITY SOURCE only for zone 4 (Kitchen), and click the [ON] button located at the right of 2nd PRIORITY to make it light. Because there’s no need to make settings for zones 5 through 8, make sure that the [ON] button at the right of 1st PRIORITY and 2nd PRIORITY are unlit (turned off). Use the ZONE select buttons to switch the zone. For details on each parameter, refer to “MTX-MRX Editor User Guide.” MTX Setup Manual 44 Example 2) High audio quality system with XMV and YDIF connections (digital connections) Settings in the “ROUTER” screen In the “ROUTER” screen you can assign zones to outputs. In this example we will leave the default settings unchanged, since the assignments are ZONE1=OUTPUT 1, ZONE2=OUTPUT 2, ZONE3=OUTPUT 3, and ZONE4=OUTPUT 4. MTX Setup Manual 45 Example 2) High audio quality system with XMV and YDIF connections (digital connections) Digital Control Panel (DCP) settings Here’s how to assign functions to the DCP that is installed in each zone. To make these settings, choose the [Controller] menu item [Digital Control Panel]. Here we will use the example of the DCP located in Hall A of the Preset 01 Basic library. Use the drop down list at the top of the screen to select the DCP for which you want to make settings. When you click one of the numbered buttons, a “Settings” dialog box will appear; assign parameters to the controls. If you assigned [SD Song Select & Play], enter the name of the file that you want to play. When you’ve made the assignments, click to select “01 [No data]” and then click the [Save] button. In the “Save Library” dialog box, change the name to “Basic” and then click the [OK] button. In Basic, switch 1 is the preset select switch for the Party settings. Switches 3 and 4 control pause/resume for playback of audio sources on the SD memory card. The knob controls the output level of zone 1. MTX Setup Manual 46 Example 2) High audio quality system with XMV and YDIF connections (digital connections) Next click the [Copy] button, and then click “02 [No Data]” to select the second library item. With this selected, click the [Paste] button. The library item you created as “Basic” will be copied. After changing the PARAMETER of switch 1 to “01,” double-click “Basic” in “02 Basic” located in the left of the screen, and change the name of the library item to “Party.” (After you’ve entered the name, press the key to confirm the name change.)

By recalling presets from the MTX itself or from the DCP, you can switch the settings as appropriate for various situations. To store or recall a preset, click the camera icon in the upper part of MTX-MRX Editor. When you click the camera icon, the “Preset” dialog box will appear. You can create up to 50 presets. Click the preset number that you want to store; the line will be selected. Then click the [Store] button, specify the preset name, and click the [OK] button. Double-click a location where the DCP column indicates “No Assign,” and choose a library that you specified on the DCP. MTX Setup Manual 48 Example 2) High audio quality system with XMV and YDIF connections (digital connections) Up to this point, you made separate settings for zone 1 and zone 2. However in some cases, such as a party, you might want to remove the boundary between zone 1 and zone 2 so that they can be a single meeting area. In this case, make settings in the “ROUTER” screen to route zone 1 to output 2, so that zone 1 and zone 2 can be used as a single space. MTX Setup Manual 49 Example 2) High audio quality system with XMV and YDIF connections (digital connections) If you store these settings as a different preset, you’ll be able to easily switch to settings suitable for a party. If you use Recall Filter to specify that only ROUTER and DCP settings are recalled, other settings such as gain will remain at the Basic settings even if you recall a party preset. For External I/O as well, press the [All Off] button so that all settings are carried over. This completes settings in the offline state. Save the settings once again.

Q: A: How should I make connections when daisy-chaining the Dante network connections in example 4? The order is very important. If you ignore the order, it will not be possible to correctly specify the YDIF routing. Make connections according to the “Configuration Diagram” displayed in [File] menu [Print Configuration Diagram]. Make connections as follows. Do not route the connection from the System B network switch to the System B XMV4280-D via the System A network switch. This will cause the Dante network to loop within System B, making communication impossible.
