MTX Setup Manual 2
The MTX Setup Manual explains how to create setups using the MTX and MTX-MRX Editor.
As examples, we will provide simple explanations of the typical setups described below.
For detailed parameter settings, refer to “MTX-MRX Editor User Guide” and to the owner’s manual and installation man-
ual of the XMV, MTX, DCP, MCP1, and PGM1.
When you install MTX-MRX Editor, the five example files described here will be found in the following folders.
32-bit operating system
C:\Program Files\Yamaha\MTX-MRX Editor\V*.*\ProjectFile
64-bit operating system
C:\Program Files(x86)\Yamaha\MTX-MRX Editor\V*.*\ProjectFile
*.* will be the version of the installed MTX-MRX Editor.
Example 1 : MTX3 basic system-*.mtx
Example 2 : MTX3 XMV digital system-*.mtx
Example 3 : MTX3+MCP1 cascade example-*.mtx
Example 4 : MTX5-D Dante system-*.mtx
Example 5 : MTX5-D+PGM1 Shopping mall-*.mtx

Example 1) Basic MTX3 system example (analog connections)
This example assumes that you’re using the following equipment.
The number of speakers is not specified; choose amps that are suitable for your speaker setup. You will also need to
provide the appropriate number of cables.

Introduction
MTX Setup Manual 4
Example 3) Using cascade mode to add MTX input channels (analog connection)
Cascade mode allows the matrix buses to be shared between MTX units. This mode lets you use two MTX units to
increase the number of inputs, and output the combined inputs to a single amp.
In cascade mode, audio cannot be transmitted to the XMV via YDIF.
This example assumes that you’re using the following equipment.
•MTX3×2
•MCP1×1
• XMV4280 (or an amp with analog input) ×1
• Background music source such as a CD player ×1
• Speakers (the number needed)
• PoE network switch ×1
• Microphone with switch (for the MC or chair) ×1
• Wireless microphone receivers (11 channels)
• Wireless microphones ×11
The number of speakers is not specified; choose amps that are suitable for your speaker setup. You will also need to
provide the appropriate number of cables.
In order to supply power to the MCP1, the network switch must support PoE.

Example 4) A system using Dante
In this example, existing amps continue to be used, while we set up a new system at a distant location, with connec-
tions made using Dante.
The system using the existing amps is labeled System A, and the new system is labeled System B.
In example 4, our explanation will be centered on the network settings. For more about increasing the number of
mics, DCP settings, or presets, refer to example 2.
This example assumes that you’re using the following equipment.
* As the network switch for Dante connections, we recommend that you use a model that provides IGMP snooping
functionality.
The number of speakers is not specified; choose amps that are suitable for your speaker setup. You will also need to
provide the appropriate number of cables.
