16
frequency and gain of the corresponding filter will be
modified at the same time.
- OUTPUT: allows the display of all the output
parameters. In the STANDARD EDIT MODE the
modification of these parameters is nor allowed.
- GLOBAL: this windows shows the response curves
of all the system’s outputs.
5. Working with PRESETS
At the bottom of the page a series of commands are
available for recalling and storing PRESETS.
- To load a PRESET in a POSEIDON enclosure using
the DX EDITOR, press RECALL and then one of the
red (FACTORY PRESETS) or green (USER PRESETS)
numbers. The selected PRESET will be loaded and his
name will be shown in the field on the left.
- To save a PRESET in a POSEIDON enclosure using
the DX EDITOR, press STORE and then one of the
grey or green numbers (USER PRESETS). The grey
color means that no PRESET has been previously
saved in that position, while the green color means that
the position is already used. In the appearing window
type the PRESET name, then press OK and the new
PRESET will be saved and his name will be shown in
the field on the left.
NOTE 1: the PRESET are saved both in the DX
EDITOR file and in the unit internal memory.
NOTE 2: remember that every time a DOWNLOAD
is made to a POSEIDON unit, all the user PRESETS
contained in the internal memory are replaced by
those eventually saved in the created on the DX
EDITOR desktop. When, instead, an UPLOAD is
made, all the user PRESETS contained in the
internal memory of the enclosure are transferred to
the corresponding positions of the units created in
the DX EDITOR desktop.
6. System options
In the OPTIONS menu of the DX EDITOR (FILE menu)
the following choices are available:
- AUTO LOAD FILE: allows the last used file to be
automatically opened when the program starts:
- EDIT MODE: allows the STANDARD EDIT MODE or
the SERVICE EDIT MODE to be selected;
- RS232: allows to select the serial port number and
the data transmission speed;
IMPORTANT!!!
The RS232 serial port default speed is 9600 bit per
second, but in the OPTION menu it’s possible to set
a speed up to 115200 bit per second. If a large
number of units are connected to the PC on a long
distance connection we advise against using very
high transmission speed. Anyway, if you experience
transmission problems or the disconnection of
some unit, reduce the speed of the serial data
transmission.
- LINKING: when this option is active, any modification
made with the DX EDITOR on one unit is automatically
made ON ALL THE CONNECTED UNITS OF THE
SAME TYPE.
Finally, in the FILE menu the PRINT command is
available, which allows to print all the parameters of one
or all the opened units together with the GLOBAL graph.
7. How the PLUGINS work
- MULTICOMP: it’s a multiband compressor made of
two separate compression units able to operate on two
user-selectable frequency bands. For each of the HIGH
and LOW bands the cutting frequency together with all
the compressor parameters can be set by the user. In
addition, for the middle band a gain control is available.
The MULTICOMP can be extremely useful for the
system’s dynamic EQ, to obtain loudness effects or to
apply an additional protection on defined frequency
bands.
- NOISE GATE: it’s a dynamic filter able to eliminate
the background noise coming from the devices
connected to the enclosure input.
- HUM CANCEL: it’s a dynamic notch filter able to
eliminate the hum due to power supply interferences or
ground problems. Selecting the frequency where the
hum is located, the notch filter is automatically enabled
on that frequency every time the signal goes below the
threshold set by the user.
- ANTI-FEEDBACK: it’s a system able to identify
feedbacks and automatically reduce them by means of
10 notch filters. 5 of the 10 available notch filters
operates in SINGLE mode, meaning that once they
have been placed on a certain frequency they remain
on that frequency until the RESET button is pressed.
The remaining 5 filters can be set in SINGLE or AUTO
mode. When a filter is in AUTO mode, once it has been
placed on a certain feedback frequency, every time a
new one is identified by the system, it moves from the
original one to the new one.
For a correct use of the ANTI-FEEDBACK we suggest
to follow this procedure:
a. RESET all the filters;
b. select the number of AUTO filters, depending on how
much the microphone position will change during the
performance;
c. switch the ANTI-FEEDBACK ON;
d. place the microphones in their usual position and
raise the mixer volume until the feedbacks are produced
