Initially there will be no memories stored in the unit, so the quick memory recall buttons will not function. The Mute Unit key will silence the entire unit, but the meters will continue to function. [. . . ] Pressing the `OK' button will send this password to ALL connected units and lock them. Confirmation of the lock is given by the units briefly showing LC on their displays. Note that the password is stored in each unit, so if it is required to give a different password to each unit in a network, they will have to be connected individually to the computer. Note that shadow units will be locked at the same time, but must be connected through a master for the program to work. There is NO master unlock password ­ please contact XTA if you need to unlock your unit. There is a procedure for achieving this (without losing the settings stored in the unit), but you won't find details of it here!Unlocking units is as simple as pressing the `Unlock Units' button, entering the password, and pressing `OK'. Confirmation of the unit(s) unlocking is confirmed by the display(s) briefly showing uC. Page 20 DP6i Operators Manual DP6i Configurations Introduction To simplify the set-up of the DP6i, 5 crossover modes are selectable. These all have parametric equalisers, high and low pass filters, gain controls, delay and limiters. The following set of diagrams detail how each of the five modes is internally configured. Note that the 2 x 3 way and 3 x 2 way modes also offer the option of ganged parameter adjustment for stereo systems. 2 x 2 way with Mono Sum This format feeds input A to outputs 1 and 2, designated low and high respectively. Output 6 is a full bandwidth output by default, with output 5 being bandwidth limited as a sub output. The choice of whether this summed signal is pre or post input EQ is made during the selection of this crossover configuration. Any changes made to the crossover points or EQ will not be affected by swapping from pre to post or vice versa. DP6i Operators Manual Page 21 2 x 3 way This format feeds input A to outputs 1, 2, and 3 designated low, mid, and high respectively. Input B feeds outputs 4, 5, and 6, as low, mid, and high respectively. Note that this configuration, as with the 2 x 2 way, can have the outputs ganged for stereo operation. This gangs outputs 1 & 4, 2 & 5, and 3 & 6, so that they track identically. Any changes made to the crossover points or EQ will not be affected by swapping from pre to post or vice versa. Page 22 DP6i Operators Manual 4 way + 2 This format feeds input A to outputs 1, 2, 3, and 4 designated low, lo-mid, hi-mid and high respectively. Outputs 5 and 6 are configured as auxiliaries, with their source being either input B, or the sum or inputs A and B. The choice of pre or post input EQ for the sum signal is only offered if outputs 5 and/or 6 are chosen to feed form the sum. This configuration also allows all the input EQ to be moved to input A, giving 16 bands of fully parametric EQ. If there does not appear to be any EQ on input B, this will be why. DP6i Operators Manual Page 23 5 way + 1 This format feeds input A to outputs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 designated sub, low, lo-mid, himid and high respectively. [. . . ] Position the unit so that the front panel is facing you, remove the seven retaining screws from the top cover and place the screws and cover to one side. Now locate the RS232 card and remove the retaining bolts (5mm) from the rear of the unit and unclip the connector from the main circuit board. Be sure to tighten the retaining screws but be careful not to strip the thread. The installation of the card is now complete - please replace the top cover. [. . . ]
