3 INTRO D U C T I O N

Congratulations on purchasing the innovative UX3600 digital signal processor (DSP) from Eastern

Acoustic Works. While designed with the fundamental principles of close-coupled processing used

since the first MX Series Processors in the 1980s, the UX3600 uses EAW’s latest advances in digital

technology to provide optimum signal processing and management of EAW loudspeaker systems.

The UX3600 is a 3-input, 6-output digital signal processor.

It functions as a user-controlled, digital signal processor, as well as providing sophisticated,

EAW-engineered digital processing for specific portable and installed EAW loudspeakers.

Processing tools include 10 EQ filters and signal delay (up to 1200 ms) for each input and output,as

well as gain, polarity, limiting, and crossover filters.

One can set up multiple processors for specific EAW loudspeaker products or loudspeaker arrays.

These pre-programed loudspeaker settings are referred to as “Greyboxes.” This term comes from

certain parameters not being user adjustable (“black-boxed”), certain parameters being user

adjustable (“white-boxed,” as it were), with the combination of black/white being grey. Greybox

settings consist of preset, EAW-engineered processing parameters for the crossovers, equalization,

limiting, and other settings as an integral part of that loudspeaker’s design and operation. These

settings include EAW’s digital processing invention called EAW Focusing™. In addition, preset limiting

parameters are designed to maximize sonic performance during active limiting while providing robust

driver protection. These preset parameters are locked down to prevent inadvertent or purposeful

modifications. However, the user retains control of gain, input EQ, signal delay, and polarity for each

Greybox loudspeaker.

The simplicity of the UX3600 is practical for entry level users and fast to operate for professional users.

This function provides for a high level of system consistency while retaining all necessary user

alignment controls.

• “Greybox” operation – Complete processing presets for EAW loudspeakers provides ease

of setup, consistency, and interoperability between EAW products and systems.

• Comprehensive and intuitive front panel control – Access to operational parameters

making computer control unnecessary for simple and quick adjustments.

• EAWPilot software – Comprehensive software control of all hardware parameters.

• EAW Focusing capable – Implements EAW Focusing for specific EAW loudspeaker

systems using the “Greybox” mode.

• All filter parameters are compatible with EAW’s measurement and modeling software - Allows

the creation of advanced array processing.

• Advanced Greybox Limiting - Provides more robust driver protection and better sonic

performance based on specific EAW driver and loudspeaker performance characteristics.
