DX810 – 27

INPUT SECTION

This section includes the eight input faders along

with their associated bargraph input level meters,

Select and Mute buttons, and name box.

The fader adjusts the mix level from the input to

the output selected in the Crosspoint Matrix Section

(indicated by the highlighted row). The numerical

display for the level is shown at the crosspoint in the

Crosspoint Matrix section. Use the arrow keys on the

keyboard to make fine adjustments to the level. Use

the Page Up/Down keys to make course adjustments.

The input level meter indicates the level of the

input signal as it comes out of the analog to digital

converters and shows the level in dBFS. If the red

0 dB portion is lit, then the signal level is above

–2 dBFS and close to clipping. Note that the meter

indicates the signal level before any processing or

digital gain stages. If the signal is clipping, or is too

low, adjust the signal level at the source, or use the

trim controls on the rear panel of the DX810.

When a group is selected, click the SELECT

button to assign the input to the selected group.

The assigned group fader then affects the signal

level for that input to all ten outputs. Click the

SELECT button when the gate or compressor

windows are showing to adjust the processing

options for that input.

Click the mute (M) button to mute the input

signal to all ten outputs.

Ctrl+click the (M) button to engage the enable

function. The blue (M) button changes to a gray (E)

to indicate the enable function is active. This mutes

the input signal normally, and unmutes it when the

enable button is active. Ctrl-click the enable (E)

button to change back to the mute function.

Note: When the enable function is engaged,

logic inputs, outputs, and remotes that are

programmed to activate/deactivate/indicate the

mute function now control (or are controlled by) the

enable function.

Click the solo (S) button to isolate the input

signal in the mix. When an input solo button is

engaged, the remaining inputs are automatically

muted. This is useful for troubleshooting and

listening to each input individually.

Use the name box at the bottom of the Input

Section to enter a name for the input (e.g., CD Left,

CD Right, Vocal, Guitar, etc.), up to 32 characters.

OUTPUT SECTION

The Output Section includes the ten output faders

along with their associated bargraph output level

meters. This section also includes numerical gain

display, mute and solo buttons, and name box.

Use the output faders to adjust the final output

level of the signal. Adjust the output faders so that

the associated output meter indicates around the

–10 and –7 dB positions when a normal signal is

going to that output. This provides the best signal-

to-noise ratio for the output stage. It is okay for the

–4 and –2 LEDs to blink occasionally on musical

peaks. However, avoid allowing the red 0 dB

indicator to light, which indicates that the signal is

within 2 dB of clipping.

Note that the meter indicates the signal level

after the output signal processing (i.e., Graphic EQ

or Parametric EQ, Compressor, Crossover). If

adjustments are made to the output processors, the

output fader may need to be readjusted. This is to

compensate for an increase or decrease in gain

through the processors.

Click the mute (M) button to mute the output signal.

Ctrl+click the (M) button to engage the enable

(E) function. This mutes the output signal normally,

and unmutes it when the enable button is on

(active). Ctrl+click the enable (E) button to change

back to the mute function.

Note: When the enable function is engaged,

logic inputs, outputs, and remotes that are

programmed to activate/deactivate/indicate the

mute function now control (or are controlled by) the

enable function.

Click the (S) button to solo the output. This

mutes all the outputs except the soloed output.

This is useful for troubleshooting and listening to

each output individually.

Click the letter button (A-J) when a group is

selected to assign the output to the selected group.
