Audio Control Panels
(ACP)
Extron Audio Control Panels (ACP) are configurable control interfaces for use with the DMP
128 FlexPlus. ACP panels connect to the rear panel ACP port of a DMP 128 FlexPlus
via a 4-pole 3.5 mm captive screw connector (see figure 2,
F
on page5). Each ACP
panel includes two ACP ports that support both power and communication between the
DMP128 FlexPlus and the ACP panel. This section includes the following topics:
• ACP Panel Types
• Panel ID #
• ACP Panel Button Control Types
• Using Multiple ACP Panels

ACP Panel Types
ACP panels work by affecting group master controls, preset recall, and macro triggers, all
of which must be configured on the DMP 128 FlexPlus prior to configuring the ACP panels.
The Configure ACPs dialog box presents a series of drop-down lists that populate with
group masters, presets, and macros, according to the selections made.
When the Configure ACPs dialog is launched, the user is first asked to select a panel from
the ACP Panel Type drop-down list. There are 10 models of ACP panel:
• ACP 100 • ACP 106 EU
• ACP 105 D • ACP 106 MK
• ACP 105 EU • ACP VC1 D
• ACP 105 MK • ACP VC1 EU
• ACP 106 D • ACP VC1 MK
After a panel type is selected, the
Configure ACPs dialog displays an image of the selected
panel. The ACP 100 has six fully configurable buttons and a dedicated rotary volume knob.
The ACP 105 style panels (ACP 105 D, ACP 105 EU, and ACP 105 MK) have five fully
configurable buttons.
The ACP 106 style panels (ACP 106 D, 106 EU, and 106 MK) have six buttons. Two buttons
are dedicated to mute off/mute on, two are dedicated to volume down/volume up, and the
remaining two buttons are fully configurable.
The ACP VC1 style panels (ACP VC1 D, ACP VC1 EU, and ACP VC1 MK) have a dedicated
rotary volume knob and one fully configurable button.
All panels come with a default set of button labels. The ACP 100 also comes with additional
button labels that can be used to relabel the buttons for alternate applications (see the
ACP100 Setup Guide for information on replacing buttons labels). Additional buttons for
the ACP 105, 106, and VC1 style panels can be ordered from www.extron.com (see the
respective Setup Guide or User Guide for information on replacing buttons).
