Warnings and Installation
Warnings and Installation

✔ Connection to the mains supply
The unit has its own built-in power supply. Before switching on the unit, make certain that the mains voltage
matches that shown on the rear (a tolerance of up to ±10% is acceptable). Before connecting or disconnecting
the power cord, make certain the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.
✔ Switching on and off

CAUTION: before switching on or off, make certain that the sound system’s amplifiers are off or that all unit’s
outputs are automatically forced into MUTE status: this will avoid signal peaks, which are annoying and
sometimes dangerous (particularly for speaker enclosures).
✔ Connecting and preventing or identifying interference

First of all, check that the apparatus is installed in a place free from industrial or RF (radio frequency) interfer-
ence. Avoid installing your equipment very near radio or TV sets, mobile phones, etc., as these can cause
noisy interference. When connecting the other parts of your sound system, watch out for the so-called “ground
loops”, which could cause hum and jeopardize the products’s excellent Sound-to-Noise and low distortion
characteristics.
The best way (even if not always feasible) to avoid ground loops is to connect the electric ground of all the
equipment to a single central point (“star” system). In this case, the central point can be the mixer.
✔ Protection and maintenance

Don’t force knobs or switches: these are designed and manufactured to respond to light pressure and could
be damaged if used with excessive force. Take care of your connector cables, a very frequent cause of small/
big problems. Always grip them by the connector, avoid pulling them forcefully and wind them without forming
knots or sharp bends: they’ll last longer this way, and be more reliable, which is a definite advantage.
Avoid exposing the product to strong direct sunlight, high temperatures or intense vibrations, in very dusty or
particularly damp surroundings or, even worse, in the rain: this will help to avoid the risk of faulty operation,
deterioration or even electric shocks and fires. The product is built in shock-resistant material. Nevertheless,
protect it during transport with a flight-case to avoid the risk of any casual accidents. When you’ve finished
using the apparatus, it’s always advisable to protect it from dust, but any dust that does form should be
removed using a cloth or a soft brush. Never use alcohol, acetone or any solvents. The effect does not require
any other maintenance.
✔ In the event of breakdown

All user-adjustable parts are external and easily accessed. In the event of a breakdown, do not open the
apparatus, but contact the nearest Generalmusic/Lem Service Centre.
✔ Keeping the documentation

Keep this user’s manual for future consultation. Also remember that the effect will get a better price on the
secondhand market if (as well as being in good condition) it has its original documentation and packaging.

Introduction
Introduction
Congratulations for having chosen the DX 26 PLUS!
DX 26 PLUS is an extremely versatile digital processor for loudspeaker systems

based on the GENERALMUSIC custom DSP RED 208. This powerful 40 bit resolution
DSP, together with low-noise 24 bit converters, provides an extremely high processing
quality and a dynamics suitable for the most professional applications.
DX 26 PLUS has 2 inputs (analog or digital) and 6 independent outputs and

can be configured as 2 or 3-way stereo, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6-way mono or as distribution mixer with up
to 6 outputs. Configurations that allows the 2 input signals to be summed and routed to different outputs
are also available
Each of the 2 inputs has:
- MASTER DELAY, available also on the input SUM;
- digital NOISE GATE;
- 5-BAND PARAMETRIC EQ;
- level control.
Each of the 6 outputs has:
- DELAY line;
- 5-BAND PARAMETRIC EQ;
- CROSSOVER HP and LP filters which can be selected from the BESSEL, BUTTERWORTH and
LINKWITZ-RILEY types with slopes up to 48dB;
- phase control with 5° steps through a full 360°;
- digital COMPRESSOR/LIMITER;
- level and MUTE control.
All settings can be stored and recalled in an instant. In fact, the system has:
- 21 Factory PRESETS, each of which can be used as a basic configuration for preparing custom
PRESETS, others already optimized for LEM loudspeaker systems.
- 64 User PRESETS, which can be freely programmed to store all the system settings.
- 128 Card PRESETS, in fact User PRESETS that can be stored on Multimedia Memory Cards.
Each User or Card PRESET can contain any of the Input/Output configurations available.
All operations are carried out via user interface that includes a 2x16 LCD, a convenient DIAL for
the parameter modification and selector buttons for the direct access to all the features. DX 26 PLUS is
also equipped with 2 types of serial interface (RS232 and RS485) for the remote control thru a PC and
for the linking of more units.

INPUT LEVEL A-B

LED ladders indicating the level of inputs A and B.
N.B.: the input gain is adjusted using the INPUT GAIN parameter (EDIT menu).
To ensure a good signal/noise ratio, i.e. an up-front distortion-free signal, keep the signal quite
high, but make certain the red CLIP LED doesn’t light up continually. CLIP.
OUTPUT LEVEL 1-2-3-4-5-6

LED ladders showing the level of the respective outputs.
N.B.: the output level is adjusted using the OUTPUT GAIN parameter (EDIT menu).
IMPORTANT! Enabling the LIMITER on any output also changes the way in which the level is
displayed on the corresponding LED ladder: in this case, in fact, the level shown on the ladder is
no longer the “absolute” output level, but the level of the signal at -24dB, -12dB, -6dB compared
to the LIMITER threshold (orange LIMIT LED), whatever the threshold value is.
MUTE 1-2-3-4-5-6
Keys with LEDs for muting the signal of the respective outputs.
When the LED is lit, the MUTE function is enabled and no signal is fed to the relative output.
N.B.: this function is useful for avoiding signal peaks (bumps) when the sound system is switched on and off, for
isolating the individual audio sections during testing or sound checks, to enable or disable sound reinforcement zones
quickly, etc.
The mode in which the MUTE function is restored when the unit is switched on can be set using
the Wake Up function (UTILITY menu, Misc. Setup submenu) and can be set as Normal (last
setting before the unit was switched off) or Mute (all outputs automatically forced into Mute status).

Getting Started
Getting Started
Before starting
Attention!
Before starting work, remember that the DX 26 PLUS is a powerful versatile signal processor mainly
designed for use with audio systems, whose input and output routing configurations can be set only by
recalling one of the PRESETS included in the internal memory. These characteristics mean that correct
careful use must be made of the unit and users must be sufficiently familiar with the unit’s main functions.
So before going ahead, it’s advisable to get to know at least the introductory part of this manual.
The Basic Principles of Navigation and Editing

All the DX 26 PLUS parameters and functions can be accessed and edited using the buttons on the
front panel. All available information is shown on each occasion on the display.
The control software is organized in the PRESET, DELAY, EDIT and UTILITY menus, each of which
contains the relative types of parameters and functions. The navigation, i.e. access to the system’s menus,
and changes of the various parameters follow logical criteria, which can be summed up as follows:
☞ The menu is selected using the MODE key.

☞The menu selected is indicated by the relative menu LED and showed on the display.
☞ In default conditions (i.e. when none of the menu LEDs are lit), the display shows the principle infor-
mation on the PRESET currently loaded in the memory.
☞ Each menu is made up of several pages, which can be reached using the PREV and NEXT keys.
☞ Each page is accessed by means of the ENTER key and left using the ESC key or MODE key.
☞ A page can contain other pages. In this case, the name of the page is preceded by an arrow ➔
☞ Each page contains one or more parameters (fields), which can be selected using the W and X
keys.
The selected parameter can be identified by its flashing characters.
☞ Changes are made to the selected parameter by means of the DIAL knob.
Changes have immediate effect and, apart from a few exceptions (for example when assigning a
name to a PRESET), don’t need to be confirmed to be entered.
11

Getting Started
Configuration of the System
☞ Refer to the Configurations chapter to find the DX 26 PLUS configuration which corresponds with
your sound system (2 x 3 ways; 2 x 2 ways + 2 Aux Mono; etc.)
☞ Refer to the Connections chapter and, with the equipment switched off, carry out the audio and power
connections among the various components of your sound system.
☞ Connect the mains cable and switch on only the DX 26 PLUS. The display shows data regarding the
operating system release for a few seconds.

- Release 1.0 -
At the same time, the system restores the exact operating conditions at the time of switching off.
N.B.: in actual fact, a “photograph” of the last scene used is uploaded. This includes the last PRESET loaded, all the
temporary changes (if any) made to it and the settings of the various options of the system.
The system then enters default status, showing the main operating information on the display.

Getting Started
Adjusting the input signal
Setting the input signal of a digital unit is particularly important, much more than with an analog unit, as
any saturation of the A/D converters caused by excessively high input signals cause a typical particu-
larly distinct noise (high level square wave).
Proceed as follows:
+ Keep the DX 26 PLUS outputs in MUTE status (LEDs lit).
+ Feed a signal in on the DX 26’s input and watch the INPUT LEVEL A-B LED ladders.
To obtain a good signal/noise ratio, i.e. an up-front distortion-free signal, keep the signal quite high, but
make certain the red CLIP LED doesn’t light up continually.
+ First of all, find the output level setting for your mixer (or other unit) connected to the input of the DX 26
PLUS
+ Then adjust the DX 26 PLUS input gain if necessary:
Press the MODE key until the EDIT menu LED lights up.
Use the PREV and NEXT keys to go to the Input Gain page:
´ Input Gain
Press ENTER. The display shows the INA Gain or INA&B Gain page (according to the configuration
and other utilities loaded in the memory):
INA GAIN INA&B GAIN

0.0dB 0.0dB
Use the DIAL to change the gain value and watch the level of the signal on the LED ladders until the
ideal values are reached.
INA GAIN INA&B GAIN

-2.5dB +6.0dB
Then use the PREV and NEXT keys to access the INB Gain page (if there is one – this depends on the
configuration and the other utilities loaded in the memory).
Repeat the settings as explained above.
13

Getting Started
First Setup
At this point, the first custom setup can be prepared.
The following is only a description of setup procedure.

The detailed specifications of each parameter are shown in the respective paragraphs of the manual.
☞ Firstly, set the following parameters in the order shown:

Output Pol. Polarity of the outputs
Xover Crossover frequencies (separation of the speaker channels)
Output Delay Alignment of the speaker enclosure components
Output Gain Levels of the outputs
N.B.: the regulation of the DX 26’s parameters is closely linked to the characteristics of the sound system’s components.
So if you’re not experts, refer to the documentation and technical specifications of your power amplifiers, loudspeaker
enclosures, monitors, etc. This will enable you to work faster and safely.
☞ Disable the MUTE function on the outputs you intend using and listen the sound, carry out instrumental
checks (if you have the necessary equipment) and any corrections required.
☞ Then, if necessary, adjust the values of the following functions:

Output EQ Output equalizers
Output Comp/Limit Output compressor/limiters
N.B.: in this first phase of setting up your sound system, the adjustment of these functions (which are very useful, if
not indispensable during installation) can wait. Remember however that adjusting the equalizers also affects the signal
level. So if considerable equalization changes are made, remember to check and if necessary adjust the output levels
too.

2U2x2W+2MAX
The bold letters indicate the inputs:

A = Input A
B = Input B
S = SUM (sum of inputs A and B)
Numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 indicate the respective outputs.
In the example:
The signal connected to Input A is assigned to outputs 1 and 3.
The signal connected to Input B is assigned to outputs 2 and 4.
The Sum of the signal on inputs A and B is assigned to outputs 5 and 6.
The system is therefore configured as shown in the following diagram.

2U2x2W+2MAX
There are 3 categories of PRESETS:

F = Factory PRESETS factory programmed, cannot be permanently changed.
These include all the system’s usable configurations + some specific setups
for LEM enclosures.
These are the starting points for creating User PRESETS and Card PRESETS
from scratch.
U = User PRESETS can be programmed by users.
C = Card PRESETS can be programmed by users and stored on a Multimedia Memory Card.
Name of the PRESET
A13 B24 S56

2U2x2W+2MAX Name of the PRESET
In the example, the name indicates a two-way stereo system + two auxiliary mono outputs.
N.B.: the name of a Factory PRESET normally indicates the general structure of the sound system to be connected
to the DX 26 PLUS or of a specific speaker enclosure model.
The name of a User PRESET and a Card PRESET can be edited as required. For example:

2U2x2W+2MAX
This indication shows that the value of one or more parameters has been temporarily modified with
respect to the values stored in the PRESET shown.
Practically speaking, this indication means that the changes made to the PRESET have not been
stored.
N.B.: once it has been enabled, the indication remains even if the “original” values are reset manually.
The indication disappears as soon as the PRESET is saved or as soon as a new PRESET is loaded
(including this same PRESET).
In other words, the indication disappears as soon as stored values are accessed.
If the PRESET isn’t saved, temporary changes are lost as soon as a new PRESET is loaded (including
this same PRESET).
N.B.: temporary changes are kept on the other hand in the “buffer memory”: when the unit is switched on, the system
maintains exactly the same settings as when the unit was switched off, including temporary changes.

These indications appear when the LOCK function (UTILITY menu) is enabled, i.e. when the system is
totally (T) or partially (P) protected against accidental or unauthorized changes (even if temporary).
Protection is ensured by a password, without which editing procedure can’t be unlocked.

Variations of the Audio Parameter editing pages
parameters
DX 26 PLUS can be configured with a large number of IN/OUT combinations.

In some configurations certain parameters aren’t used.
To streamline editing, the system only presents the parameters that can be used on each
occasion.
For example, in the case of a 6-way configuration, input B and SUM aren’t used. The system
therefore only presents the parameters relative to Input A.
Some functions also affect the way in which parameters are edited or represented.
The Ganging function (UTILITY menu) allows to “group together” the treatment of compatible inputs
and/or outputs.
For example, it allows to equalize simultaneously and with identical values the two outputs which
feed the mid sections of a stereo sound system.
The Units option (UTILITY menu) allows to edit the values of several functions using the
measurement units preferred.
For example, it allows to edit the Delay in meters, millimeters, milliseconds or microseconds.
In these cases too, the system automatically presents the parameters in the most suitable type
of editing.
For example, in the Input Delay function
´ Input Delay
according to the configuration of the PRESET and according to Ganging and Units settings, the
system can have variations of this type:

There are 3 distinct categories of PRESETS:
Factory PRESETS Factory-programmed storage.

Factory PRESETS can be used normally, temporarily modified, but can’t be cancelled,
overwritten or permanently modified. Factory PRESETS contain some specific set-
tings for certain types of enclosures and all the system’s usable configurations. For this
reason they’re the ideal starting point for creating custom PRESETS.
User PRESETS Stored data that can be programmed by users.

User PRESETS are internal memory areas in which your own personal settings can be
saved.
Card PRESETS Stored data which can be programmed by users on a Multimedia Memory Card.
Card PRESETS are external memory areas in which your own personal settings can
be saved.

To load a PRESET:
☞ Use the DIAL to reach the required PRESET.

21 Factory PRESETS, 64 User PRESETS and 128 Card User PRESETS are available.
N.B.: since the system must always be configured, there are no empty memory areas. All the User and Card areas
not yet used by custom PRESETS are automatically occupied by the *Default* PRESET, which contains a standard
start configuration with all the values of the various parameters at zero.

N.B.: in the example, Factory PRESET #3, named “2x3W” has been loaded: its system configuration is Input A signal
assigned to outputs 1, 3 and 5; Input B signal assigned to outputs 2, 4 and 6.
Loading a PRESET, a PRESET Change command is also automatically sent to the serial ports and can
be used to automatically load a PRESET with the same number to any other DX 26 PLUS units con-
nected and enabled (see UTILITY menu - Comm. Setup submenu - PRESET Change RX option).

To save a PRESET:
☞ Use DIAL to reach the memory area in which the PRESET is to be saved.
N.B.: in this procedure, the Factory PRESET areas aren’t available, since the Factory PRESETS cannot be permanently
modified. Nevertheless remember that it is possible to load a Factory PRESET, save it in a User PRESET or Card
PRESET area, modify it as required and then store it again in the same User or Card area.
N.B.: scrolling through the memory areas, the display shows the number, type and name of the PRESETS contained in
them; scrolling through the 128 Card memory areas without the Multimedia Memory Card, a warning appears on the display:

☞ Press ENTER. The PRESET Naming page appears, by means of which it’s possible to edit the name
of the PRESET to be saved.
N.B.: if you’re in one of the 128 memory areas reserved for the Card and you remove the Multimedia Memory Card
before pressing ENTER, nothing happens: the display remains unchanged and Store PRESET procedure remains
unvaried.
The name of the “start” PRESET (i.e. of the PRESET currently loaded) is proposed as default. The

The practical differences between Delay Input and Delay Output

A Delay is only a processor by means of which a signal is deliberately delayed by a programmable length
of time. From a technical point of view, the Delays applied to the inputs and outputs are equivalent.
Nevertheless, their application is different:
DELAY
OUTPUT DELAY
INPUT DELAY
Input Delay delays the signal of an input (or the sum of the inputs) before sending it to the routing system. In this
way, all the outputs which depend on that input are delayed by the same length of time.
Also called Master Delay, input Delay is mainly used to compensate for the effects dues to the distance
between the various speaker enclosures or between various blocks of a complex sound system (for
example in large concert halls, stadiums, etc.), thus achieving virtual alignment.
Output Delay only delays the signal of a specific output.

Also called Channel Delay, output delay is mainly used to compensate for the distance between different
blocks of the same sound system (for example clusters) or to correct internal alignment of a speaker
enclosure’s components.

N.B.: setting the input signal of a digital unit is particularly important, much more than on an analog unit, as any saturation
of the A/D converter due to an excessively high input signal causes a typical particularly distinct noise. To achieve a
good signal/noise ratio, i.e. an up-front distortion-free signal, feed a signal in on the DX 26’s input and watch the INPUT
LEVEL A-B LED ladders. Keep the signal quite high, but make certain the red CLIP LED doesn’t light up continually.

Input Noise Gate
Noise reduction filter onthe inputs.
Aloows to cut or reduce the background noise generated by the unit connected to the processor’s
inputs (the mixer, for example). The filter is active when the input signal is below a certain threshold
and reduce its level cutting the undesired background noises.
´ Noise Gate
The following editable parameters are available, in two different pages:
Noise Gate ON/OFF
INA Gate On
AT1.0ms RL0.50S
Reaction times
Allows to set the Noise Gate attack and release times.
ATTACK (AT) is the time needed by the filter to bring back the signal to its normal level when it
goes above the threshold.
RELEASE (RL) is the time needed by the filter to cut the signal once it goes below the threshold.
INA Gate On
AT1.0ms RL0.50S
Threshold
Allows to set the threshold level: if the signal goes below this threshold the Noise Gate reduces the
level.

Input EQ
Input equalizer with 5 parametric filters.
Allows to alter the overall tone of the signal connected to the respective input.
Also called Master EQ, the equalization of the input signal effects all the outputs connected to the input

This component’s characteristic quality and programmability (identical to the output Equalizer) enable it
to be used so effectively and flexibly as to make the use of graphic equalizers often unnecessary.

Output equalizer with 5 parametric filters.
Also called Channel EQ, allows to alter the tone of each individual output.
The characteristics of quality and programmability are identical to those of the Input Equalizer and
enable this unit to be used extremely effectively and flexibly.

Each equalizer has 5 pages (one per filter), indicating the name of the output it effects and the num-
ber of the filter.

Output level control.
Allows to adjust the signal level of each individual output.
Output Gain
Editing values are between +6dB ÷ -30dB, with 0.5dB steps.

N.B.: the level of each output is shown by the respective OUTPUT LEVEL LED ladder. To avoid distortion, don’t let
the red CLIP LED light up. As automatic protection, you can also enable the LIMITER (EDIT menu) on the outputs
that require it. In this case, remember that enabling the LIMITER changes the display mode on the relative LED ladder:
in fact, the level shown is no longer the “absolute” output level, but the level of the signal in relation to the LIMITER
threshold.
Output Pol.
Controls the outputs’ polarity.
Allows to invert the phase of the signal of individual outputs.
Output Pol.
Editing values are:
Normal: leaves the phase unchanged Reverse: shifts the phase through 180°, inverting it.

The effect of this control is summed with that of the Φ parameter of the LPF filter (Xover - EDIT menu),
which operates with 5° steps in a range of between 0° and 180°.
In this way it’s possible to set the phase of each individual output with 5° steps within a complete 360°
revolution, a very useful function when assembling arrays of speaker enclosures, in the control of the
interpolation between various enclosures or between sections of the same system.

Output Compressor/Limiter
Output level compressor/limiter.
Allows to keep the signal of each individual output within a set level.
Can be used effectively to protect the components of a sound system or to obtain compression effects
and to increase the signal dynamics while keeping it within certain limits.

The following editable parameters are available:
Reaction times
Allows to choose between 3 types of Limiter reaction speed.
In fact, these are attack and release times that are optimised so that the Limiter reacts more or less
rapidly when the signal exceeds or drops below the threshold:
☞ Fast short times, suited to rapid Limiter operation. Normally more suited to outputs dedicated
to high frequencies.
☞ Normal intermediate times, suited to the majority of applications. Normally more suited to outputs
dedicated to mid frequencies or full-range systems.
☞ Slow long times, suited to avoiding rapid repeated level jumps (pump effect). Normally most
suited to outputs dedicated to low frequencies.

Allow to set the level above which the Compressor/Limiter intervenes (limiting the signal) and below
which it leaves the signal unchanged.
The editing values are within the following ranges: +19.8dBu ÷ -10dBu, with 0.2dBu steps
7.574V ÷ 0.245V with variable steps
The measurement unit can be chosen with the Lim. Thresh. Unit function (UTILITY menu - Units
submenu). The Off value disables the Compressor/Limiter, whereas any other value enables it.

Slow 1.1 5.8 Slow 20.0 Off
IMPORTANT! Enabling the Compressor/Limiter on a specific output also changes the way in which the
level is displayed on the corresponding LED ladder: in fact, the level shown on this ladder is no longer
the “absolute” output level, but the level of the signal at -24dB, -12dB, -6dB compared to the COM-
PRESSOR/LIMITER’s threshold (orange LIMIT LED), no matter what the threshold value is
38

EDIT menu
Ratio
Allows to set the compression ratio, that is to say how the signal exceeding the trheshold has to be
reduced.
The editing values are the following: Lim. 20.0 10.0 8.0 6.0 5.0 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.7 1.5 1.3 1.1
OP1 CompLim OP1 CompLim

Fast 3.0 Off Fast Lim. Off
The Lim. value corresponds to the maximum compression ratio (all the signal exceeding the threshold
is cut) and in this condition the processors acts as a LIMITER.
The other values allow to reduce the signal with a ratio from 1:20.0 (high compression) to 1:1.1 (low
compression) in order to obtain different compression effects according to the kind of signal and to the
kind of application.

GANGING SUBMENU
Output Ganging
This submenu allows to group together the treatment of similar inputs and/or outputs.
Similar is intended as meaning elements which have the same properties and/or the same structure.
For example, the right and left sections of a stereo system are similar, as they are made up
symmetrically of the same quantity and type of elements (the same components for High, Mid and
Low frequencies).
Ganging
The practical use of the Ganging function consists in the possibility of editing with identical values
the parameters of similar elements, carrying out single (instead of double) operations.
For example, it’s possible to set the same Delay value or equalization on both inputs with just one
operation; or set identical Xover parameters for the various outputs fed to a stereo sound system;
or yet again, enable the LIMITER simultaneously on the two outputs dedicated to two mono stage
monitors.
The system automatically recognizes incompatible elements contained in the various configurations
and only enables the Ganging function where it can effectively be used. Therefore, the Ganging
function doesn’t have any effect on the MONO setups. The Ganging function can be enabled
separately for both groups of input and groups of outputs.
IMPORTANT: precisely for its characteristics, the Ganging function affects the way in which the
relative parameters audio are edited or represented:
As soon as Inputs and/or Outputs are ganged, the various menu pages only show the values that
can actually be used. This however doesn’t mean that the values change immediately. On the
contrary, the values remain unchanged (even if not shown) until new values are entered. Only
at that point ganged Inputs and/or Outputs assume the same value with just one operation.
For example, even if the display shows that “Input A&B” are ganged in the page with a certain parameter, the value
shown remains that of Input A until a new value is entered, as Input B doesn’t automatically assume the values of
Input A.
To check this:
1. set Input Gangin=Off, load the *Default* PRESET, set INA Delay=1 and INB Delay=0;
2. set Input Gangin=On, return to the Input Delay menu: the display shows INA&B Delay=1:
a. if you leave the value unchanged and once again set Input Gangin=Off
going back to the Input Delay menu, the display shows INA Delay=1 and INB Delay=0 (“original” values).
b. if you change the value, for example INA&B Delay=3, and you once again set Input Gangin=Off
going back to the Input Delay menu, the display shows INA Delay=3 and INB Delay=3 (“new” values).
This condition is used to avoid accidental or temporary enabling of the Ganging function from changing the values of
all the stored PRESET. The rule can be summed up as follows: “only the values that have to be intentionally changed
are changed”.
41

UTILITY menu
So generally speaking, to avoid contradictions, oversights and confusion between what is shown and what is effectively
carried out, it’s advisable to enable the Ganging functions before starting to edit a PRESET. Moreover, it’s best to
make certain to effectively set the required value, manually confirming all the parameters required.
N.B.: the elements in Ganging assume the “new” value as soon as the DIAL changes the status of the “old” value.
So, if the value which has to be allocated to the elements in Ganging is the same as the “old” value, it’s necessary to
use the DIAL, temporarily change the value (even only by one step) and then go back to the “old” value.

This function is very useful whenever even temporary changes or tampering with the settings stored in
the system must be prevented. For example: fixed installations used by several operators (discotheques,
clubs, conference halls, etc.), sound system rental, etc.
How to enable protection
☞ First of all, choose the protection mode:

Two modes are available:
Total: Partial:
all editing functions are blocked and only the parameters relative to the Inputs
access to the PRESET menu is disabled can be edited (Delay, Gain, EQ),
all other editing functions are blocked
and access to the PRESET menu disabled
LOCK Total LOCK Partial

Password [ NICK] Password [ NICK]
☞ Then use the and keys to access the area in which the password is entered.
IMPORTANT! The protection cannot be unlocked without the password!
So write it down or at least choose a word that is easily remembered.
The password is made up of four alphanumerical characters, obtainable using the and keys and
editable with the DIAL
LOCK Partial LOCK Partial

Password [ NICK] Password [ WOLF]
☞ After entering the password, press ENTER.

N.B.: confirmation is only accepted if the cursor is positioned on one of the password’s four characters. This allows to
avoid accidental enabling, without having seen the password.
Protection is enabled and the system takes up default status.
47

UTILITY menu
How to disable the protection
If the protection is enabled, when the system is in default status (i.e. when none menu LEDs are lit and
therefore no type of editing is enabled), the following appears on the display:
Total Protection enabled Partial Protection enabled
T A13 B24 S56 P A13 B24 S56

2U2x2W+2MAX 2U2x2W+2MAX
T M A13 B24 S56

2U2x2W+2MAX
N.B.: alongside the symbol of Total or Partial protection, the letter M may also appear. This means that the system is
protected, but the PRESET in question has undergone one or more changes that have not yet been stored. You can
however switch the system on and off without any problems, as the current settings are kept in the buffer memory.
Nevertheless, if this is your work setup, it’s advisable to store it in a PRESET.
To unlock the protection:
☞ Access the LOCK submenu.

The display shows the prompt for entering the password to unlock the protection.
The four alphanumeric characters of the password are encrypted.
UNLOCK
Password [ ****]
☞ Enter in the password using the combination of the and keys and the DIAL,
then press ENTER.
NB: in the event of an incorrect password, the display prompts again, encrypting all the characters again.
UNLOCK
Password [ WOLF]
Protection is unlocked and the system enters default status.

UTILITY menu
MEMORY CARD SUBMENU

Allows to format the Multimedia Memory Card.
Formatting is the preparation of the memory areas of the Card. Without formatting (or without compatible
formatting) the Card can’t be used by the system.
Memory Card
How to format the Card
☞ Insert a Multimedia Memory Card in the slot.

New or used Cards can be used, providing they are compatible (min 1MB).
ATTENTION! Formatting cancels any data contained in the Card.
☞ In the Memory Card submenu, press ENTER.
The Format Card page appears. Forma t Card
☞ Press ENTER.
The system formats the Card until it communicates that it has completed.
This operation only requires a few seconds. The Card is ready to be used.
Forma t Card Forma t Card

N.B.: in the event of an error or a Card fault, if there is no Card in the slot or if the Card is removed during formatting,
the display shows the following message:
Forma t Card
Format Error !
During formatting, the system automatically stores the *Default* PRESET in all the 128 CARD memory
areas.
N.B.: since the system must always be configured, there are no empty memory areas. All the User and Card areas
not yet used by stored user data are automatically occupied by the *Default* PRESET, which contains a standard
start configuration with all the values of the various parameters at zero.

UTILITY menu
COMM. SETUP SUBMENU

This submenu allows access to the setting of communication with other units via the serial ports.
N.B.: the Dump Out PRESET and Incoming Dump functions are an exception, as they’re controlled directly in the
PRESET menu.
Comm. Setup
PRESET Change RX
Allows to accept or ignore the PRESET Change command sent via the serial ports from a computer
or another DX 26 PLUS when it loads a PRESET.
The settings can be:
Ignore PRESET Change commands received.Accept and execute PRESET Change commands.
Prese t Change RX Prese t Change RX

Accept Ignore
The PRESET Change command is completely identical to MIDI Program Change: the transmitting
unit sends an instruction containing a number of PRESETS to load; the receiving units (if they are
able to accept the command) each loads into its own memory the PRESET with the corresponding
number.
This means that, in a chain of DX 26 PLUS, all the units set with “PRESET Change RX = Accept”
load the same number of PRESET, in spite of the fact that it corresponds to PRESETS with different
contents in the various units.
N.B.: to transmit the same contents, the PRESET Dump function is used.
