It is designed for use in a variety of installa- tions such as churches, courtrooms, convention centers, and hotels. It provides eight balanced mic/line inputs and ten bal- anced outputs allowing true 8x10 mixing. Each of the eight mic/line input channels is accessed by means of two Phoenix-type detachable connectors. Each input is opti- mized to accept either mic or line-level sig- nals. Microphone preamplifiers use XDR™ technology to offer studio-grade audio performance. Phantom power of 48 VDC is switchable individually on each mic input. Two auxiliary line-level inputs with trim are provided. This allows analog signals to be mixed with the A and B outputs. Master outputs provide balanced line-level signals to Phoenix-type connectors. Each of the ten outputs represents a dis- crete mix of the eight inputs, resulting in a true 8x10 mixing matrix with virtual faders at each crosspoint. Any combination of gain elements can be assigned to one of 32 groups. The DX810 offers an intuitive front panel user interface, consisting of dual-function LED bar graph meters for each input and the A and B outputs (all ten outputs can be monitored in the software interface). Input meters indicate the presence of signal prior to any signal processing (pre- fader). Output A and B meters indicate actual level at the output (post-fader). Levels for Mix A and B are set by means of UP/DOWN pushbuttons dedicated to each input and output. A MODE button is used to select between Mix A and B. This allows adjustment of levels to two mix outputs from the same set of input controls. A third function of the MODE button allows the user to LOCK the front panel controls until a security unlock code is entered. Two independent RS232 connectors are provided, one on the front panel and one on the rear. This allows for connection to a computer or control system. A DB25 connector on the rear panel allows for interfacing with the 10 Logic Inputs and 10 Logic Outputs. Logic I/O enables hardware control and indication from custom control panels. All logic inputs and outputs are programmable in software. A proprietary remote control bus allows connection of the optional DX wired remotes. These remotes can use a variety of three-conductor cable. Remotes are available in Volume Control (DX-RVC) and 4-switch versions (DX-SW4), and may be combined to provide flexible configurations. The DX810 is supplied with the DX-810-PC software that allows access to all of the system’s settings and configurations. The software provides access to the three- band input EQ, eight-band parametric or 31-band graphic EQ for the outputs, compressors, gates, delays, and crossover configuration. In addition, the software allows saving and recalling up to 32 pre- sets, configuration for 32 control groups, for input force on/force off functions with priority, and for the logic input and output connections. All settings and text labels are retained in the DX810 as well as stored on the computer’s local drive. The DX810 is UL and CE approved and designed for continuous use in profes- sional fixed installation systems. An internal auto-ranging power supply allows connection to mains voltages from 90-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz. This requires no jumper or switch setting changes. A 24 VDC input is provided for applications where backup battery power is required. Switchover to backup power is automatic and silent.

DX-810-PC SOFTWARE The DX810 real-time DX-810-PC soft- ware application provides access to all of the DX810’s controls. The user interface employs a full-matrix mixer, making settings and opera- tion clear and intuitive. The input, output, crosspoint, and group faders are visible at the same time, allowing immediate access to all level controls. Indicators for Active Logic Inputs and Mute Groups are always visible, as are the input and output signal meters. Equalizer, compressor, gate, delay, crossover, and setup screen views are recalled from direct-select buttons. The main interface screen offers 8 input faders, 10 output faders, 80 crosspoint faders, and 32 group faders The input EQ view offers three filters for each input, with rotary gain and frequency controls for the High and Low Shelving filters, and gain, frequency, and bandwidth con- trols for the Bandpass filter The Graphic EQ view offers 31 bands of control on ISO-cen- tered frequencies for each of the ten outputs The Parametric EQ view includes five bands of control for each output, as well as a display window that graphically represents the parameter settings A full-featured compressor is provided for each input and output, and a full-featured gate is provided for each input EAW Commercial | One Main Street | Whitinsville, MA 01588 USA | TEL toll free within US/Canada 888.337.7404 TEL outside US 425.892.6503 | FAX 425.485.1152 | Page 4 of 6
