Eaw Ux8800 User manual

1 Basic Tasks

· Connect audio signal cables, power cable, and, if needed, computer cable.

· Select the operating mode, input signal type(s), and temperature/humidity conditions.

· Select the signal source(s) for each input channel.

· Select the loudspeaker type for each input channel and assign the output channel(s).

· Adjust the amplifier and listening distance parameters for the output channel(s).

· Adjust input channel EQ, gain, polarity, and delay.

· For Generic Processing, use EAWPilot to adjust output channel EQ, gain, polarity, limiting, and delay.

4 Operation

NOTES:

The steps in Section 4.1 correspond to the diagram.

These steps do not include all available operating parameters nor are they in the appropriate order for all situations.

When configured for specific loudspeaker models, output parameters are preset and unavailable for adjustment.

4.1 ADJUST OPERATING PARAMETERS (UX8800 front panel or EAWPilot)

1. Global Setup

Operating Mode: Select ‘Loudspeaker Processor’

Inputs A & B / Inputs C & D: Select input signal type: Analog or AES Ch 1 & 2

Temperature & Humidity: Adjust values to current conditions

2. Channel A to Channel D Source: Source: Select one or two signal sources for each input

3. Channel A to Channel D Type: Select loudspeaker model

Input Channels A to D

INPUT/OUTPUT NOTES - The input and output configurations shown are

only for purposes of this diagram.

1. Input Channels A to C are shown as if configured for specific loudspeakers

or loudspeaker arrays.

2. Outputs 1 to 6 are shown as not yet selected for the Input Channels.

3. Input Channel D is shown as if configured for Generic Processing with

Outputs 7 and 8 available for its use.

3. SELECT THE LOUDSPEAKER

OR LOUDSPEAKER ARRAY TYPE.

5. SELECT THE OUTPUT(S)

TO BE USED FOR THE

SELECTED LOUDSPEAKER

OR LOUDSPEAKER ARRAY.

4. ADJUST THE CROSSOVER

FILTER AS NEEDED.

NOTE:This will be primarily

a high-pass or low-pass filter

for subwoofer use.

7. ADJUST EACH INPUT

CHANNEL’S PARAMETERS.

6. FOR EACH OUTPUT CHANNEL, SELECT:

- AMPLIFIER GAIN 1

- AMPLIFIER MAXIMUM VOLTAGE 1

- DISTANCE FOR THE AIR-LOSS PRE-EMPHASIS 2

NOTES:

1.These set the values needed for the limiting

function in the output channel.

2.This, along with the humidity value set in the UTIL menu,

sets the value needed for the Air-Loss Pre-emphasis function

in the output channel.

OUTPUT NOTE:

For Generic Processing, EAWPilot must be used to adjust output channel EQ, gain, polarity, limiting, and delay.

The default values are set for a “flat” response, meaning no processing.

NOTE: Connector B

is disabled if A is set

to use AES/EBU

NOTE: Connector D

is disabled if C is set

to use AES/EBU

1. FOR EACH INPUT

CONNNECTOR, SELECT
