Section 2 - ZonePRO Designer GUI
2.1 ZonePRO Designer Overview
The ZonePRO Designer Graphic User Interface (GUI) is the included software application which is used for programming the ZonePRO products. The GUI provides network tools for configuring your control network as well as multiple “Wizard” functions for configuring the system routing and in-wall dbx Zone Controllers. The GUI also allows you to adjust DSP effect parameters and even create automatic system changes (referred to as “Scene Changes”).
Understanding the ZonePRO Designer GUI is essential for getting the most out of the ZonePRO processors. After installing the ZonePRO Designer GUI, please see the software application’s help section for detailed information and assistance with the ZonePRO Designer GUI. Training videos are also available at www.dbxpro.com.
2.2 GUI System Requirements

2.3GUI Installation
1.Install the ZonePRO GUI software onto your computer from either the dbx website at www.dbxpro.com or from the included CD ROM.
We highly recommend disabling virus protection software during the installation of ZonePRO Designer.
2.The application will proceed to prompt you for the installation location.
3.Once the software installation has been completed, it is recommended that you restart your computer.
2.4Quick Start – Connecting via RS-232
In order to program the ZonePRO processors, the ZonePRO Designer GUI must be in communication with the ZonePRO device (this is referred to as “Online”). Once communication is established, the ZonePRO processor can be programmed in real-time, or if a program has already been created, it can be loaded into the device.
If your computer does not have a built in RS-232 port you must use a compatible RS-232 peripheral, such as an RS-232 PCI card, RS-232 PCMCIA card, or USB to Serial adapter. Please visit the FAQs section of the dbx website for the latest information on compatible RS-232 peripherals.
Most ZonePRO models also allow you to communicate via Ethernet, the exception being the 640 and 641 models, which do not have an Ethernet control port. If you are connecting via Ethernet and require assistance, please see “Section 6 - Networking”.
It is highly recommended that ZonePRO installers do have the means to communicate with the ZonePRO processors via RS-232. If a firmware update is ever required, the firmware update must be applied using the RS-232 connection!
Going Online via RS-232 |
ZonePRO |
Computer |
|
1. Connect your computer to the ZonePRO’s front or rear RS-232 |
|
port using the provided dbx female to female null modem |

5. ZC Input Ports
Allows connection of up to 12 ZC controllers (six per port) for control of volume, source selection, page steering, and scene changes. The top ZC Input port is for IDs 1-6 and the bottom ZC Input port is for IDs 7-12.
6. Analog Outputs
Balanced audio output connections. Connect these outputs to your amplifier input channels.
7. Link Input/Output Ports
Allows duplication of up to six input channels (ML1, ML2, S1, S2, S3, S4) to another ZonePRO device in applications where additional output zones are required.
All models – with the exception of the 640m and 641m – allow duplication of up to six channels: ML1, ML2, S1, S2, S3, S4. The 640m and 641m models allow duplication of up to four channels: ML1, ML2, S1, S2.
8. RCA Source Inputs
Mono-summed pairs of unbalanced RCA audio inputs.
Each pair of unbalanced RCA inputs are internally mono summed. This is beneficial when your application requires mono zones. However, when stereo zones are required and stereo imaging is to be
maintained, each stereo source must occupy two pairs of inputs (omitting one jack per pair).

9. Mic Gain Control
Allows microphone gain control when the mic/line inputs are set to mic level.
10. Signal/Clip LED
This LED indicates when signal is present (green) or the input is clipping (red).
11. Mic/Line Switch
Allows configuration for microphone or line level sources.
12. Mic/Line Input Connectors
These balanced inputs provide Euroblock connectors for mic or line level sources.
These Euroblock inputs provide 15 Volts of phantom power when the mic/line switch is set to mic level.

The dbx Zone Controllers (ZCs) provide a user friendly solution for controlling different functions of the ZonePRO processors. The following section provides a description of each of these ZC models.
ZC-1 – The ZC-1 is a programmable zone controller that allows input or output volume level control from a wall panel.
ZC-2 – The ZC-2 is a programmable zone controller that allows output volume level and mute control from a wall panel.
ZC-3 – The ZC-3 is a programmable zone controller that allows control of source selection, page steering, or scene selection via a four position rotary control.
The ZC-3 must be assigned as ID#1 and connected to the ZonePRO’s top ZC Input connector for scene selection control.
