5Key Features
The Series 52 Mixing Console 52/DX has been designed to be an easy-to-use tool for a broad range of TV and radio
broadcasting applications. With its 4 faders and its compact table top design, it is ideal for OnAir, in the OB van, for News,
Edit- and Ingest Stations.
The 52/DX uses a special real-time operation system running in the 52/XS Core. There is no PC-based system inside and
it works completely without any PC.
The configuration software runs on standard Windows(TM) based PCs. However, this PC is not required to run the 52/DX
from day to day – it is only needed for setting it up.
ASeries 52 Mixing Console 52/DX remotely controls the processing power of a 52/XS core via TCP/IP. The combination of
the proved and reliable DSP power of an 52/XS Core provides you with a great variety of features.
The configuration of the console is realised via a simplified version of the well-proven DHD Toolbox5, called DXConfig. The
52/DX allows to make use of the established DHD-PC software products: DSP-Control-Software, Remote-Control-Software,
Snapshot-Manager, Snapshot-Server. A XS Core extended feature upgrade licence provides Toolbox5 configuration
capability like other Series 52 products.

6.2.5 DeviceLink
To exchange audio signals directly between two XS cores, you can connect them directly by a shielded CAT5 or CAT6
cable on an APC port on each XS core.
Important
To use the DeviceLink,each XS Core requires an XC/XS Core Audio Network licence.
Each DeviceLink connection can send and receive 48 audio channels at the same time. This connection does not transmit
any control signals.
6.3 Control modules
The control module is the interface between the user and the functions of the mixing system. The 52/DX control modules
has an integrated TFT Display. Due to it is sensitive to touch, you can design views with buttons to control functions via
the TFT displays.
Weblink
For a comprehensive list of all 52/DX modules, please see the 52/DX List of
Modules.
The control module consists of control elements – such as faders, hardware keys, TFT buttons, rotary knobs – and status
indicators. These are for example LEDs inside the keys, or defined parts of TFT views. Some typical applications for
displaying information to the user are:
·LEDs showing the PFL status for a given channel.
·An alphanumeric display shown on the TFT shows, which input signal is selected for a given channel.
·LEDs inside the keys are switched on or off to indicate the state of the key.

The control module is tightly integrated with the control engine. It collects all events from the faders, rotary knobs and
buttons and sends back the information into the status indicators and displays.
To make configuration easier, the software allows to print out labels for the keys of the control module. These labels are
slid under the key caps. If necessary, they can be changed again later to reflect changes in the configuration of the
system.

Encoder section for control of gain, EQs, dynamics and other settings.
The 52-1104 has four coloured encoders. These have two function modes:
·In case of no channel is selected by an access button, the encoders work as gain control for the fader channel
below. On channels with a Microphone input source, you can change the encoder function to analog gain control
(AGain) by pushing the encoder.
·When a channel is selected, by pressing an access button, the encoders work as control for parameters for EQ,
dynamics, Aux etc. on the TFT/Touch display. You can see a coloured frame around the parameters on the TFT/
Touch display, this colour shows, which encoder controls which parameter.

The Cue key is similar to a PFL key. Push this key to route the pre fader signal of a fader channel to the PFL bus.
7
Use the fader to control the audio level from -oo to 0 dB with an additional gain of +10 dB.
8
Push the ON key to switch the fader channel on or off. If the key lights up, the fader channel is on.

Program monitor selector key, expanded by touch-display selector. When this key is pressed, the PGM bus signal will
be switched to the monitor 1 bus. The preselected audio source of monitor bus 1 will be monitored again, when the
Program key is off. (see Configuration - Console)

You can use these GP keys (General Purpose keys) to switch GPOs and get status signalisation from a GPI, or any
other available logic source. (see Configuration - Console)
