crossover.
DTD in Hardware or Software Mode
Once the setup has been downloaded into the DTD, you can use the DTD in Hardware
mode (meaning without any computer). To do so, set up the front panel switch on the
WB or XO position.
Wideband
When the switch is on the WB (Wideband) position:
The Main cabinet has the largest bandwidth.
The Sub cabinet has its default crossover value.
In this situation there is an overlap between main and sub, offering more energy in the
low frequency, but limiting the maximum SPL out of the main speaker.
Crossover
When the switch is on the XO (Crossover) position:
The Main cabinet has the default crossover value.
The Sub cabinet has its default crossover position.
For both positions above, all settings other than crossover point inside the DTD are set to the
default values. Still the Sub and Main gain can be adjusted with the front panel knobs.
User
In this situation all parameters inside the DTD can be adjusted (input patch, gain, delay,
user EQ, user compressor …). Gain can be adjusted through both front panel knobs and
software.

launch Dory through the shortcut in the start menu of through the search bar.
PAGE 8 OF 15 CONNECTING THE DTD TO DORY

USING DORY
Upgrading the DTD firmware
When Dory detects a DTD on a USB port of the computer, it will rst check the rmware
revision of the device. If the rmware inside the DTD is different from the one embedded
into Dory, it will show the following message:
If you press [Update DTD], then the unit will reboot and Dory will start to upload the new
rmware into the device.
Once the rmware has been uploaded, Dory will show the Main View, with current
speaker’s setup. If a setup was already selected, it will be reloaded after rmware
update. If no speaker’s setup was dened, Dory will display the Flat speaker mode by
default, with default speaker’s icons.
PAGE 9 OF 15USING DORY

Changing the Speaker Setups
Speaker setups can be changed separately for main and sub, meaning that any
combination of Main Speaker (stereo) and Sub speaker (mono) is available. However, it
is not possible to process to different speakers for main left and main right.
The default FLAT setup can only be used with the default SUB setup.
Press on a speaker icon to enter in the speaker preset screen, then select [Change].
Swipe to the left or to the right from the center speaker to access the other presets, and
PAGE 10 OF 15 USING DORY

press [OK] once you made your choice. Dory will then upload the speaker preset into the
DTD’s internal memory.
You can then select among the available crossovers (check that the front panel’s switch
is on the USER position, otherwize this feature will be read-only).
Now that the speaker setup has been recalled, you can close the software and use DTD
as a standalone device in hardware mode, or continue in software mode and adjust the
device settings.
Changing the DTD Parameters
Default page
On the default view of Dory you can check view-meters for output level and selected
speaker. Three other pages can be accessed from here by clicking the buttons next to
the DTD name on the upper part of the screen, as surrounded below.
PAGE 11 OF 15USING DORY

Inputs and patching page
The rst button will lead you to the input settings.
From this page you can adjust:
Input meters for all inputs (Digital L/R stands for USB audio input as the DTD is also
detected by Windows as a USB soundcard, or Dante inputs, see below).
Input patch from the physical input to the internal Left and Right processing
channels.
User EQ (Stereo 8-band full-parametric EQ). It is possible to edit both channels using
[Link Eq].
Digital switch (only for Dante versions) to choose digital source between USB and

Front panel gain, read back of the front panel knobs (for DTD-T models).
User delay in milliseconds, meters or feet (click on the unit to change it).
Pe-processing channels to output patch, L / R or (L+R) to each output. Note that when
L+R is selected, -6 dB of gain is applied automatically internally.
User compressor. This compressor can be setup by the user to limit the output level
on top of NEXO’s internal protections (to limit the speaker output level to a certain
SPL for example).
