11.

Ethernet Port: This port lets you connect DN-508MX to a network. Connect this port to a

computer via a network switch or router. Alternatively, connect it directly to a computer using an Ethernet crossover cable. This connection lets you control DN-508MX though the web interface.

Setup

Items not listed under Introduction > Box Contents are sold separately.

To set up DN-508MX with your sound system:

1. If you are using any audio source with RCA outputs (Blu-ray® players, stereos, etc.), use standard RCA cables to connect them to the ST inputs on the rear panel. Your audio sources must be line-level (no phono-level turntables).

2. If you are using an amplifier or other audio source with outputs that can be wired into standard Euroblock connectors, connect them to the mic/line inputs on the rear panel.

3. Use standard Euroblock connectors to connect the loudspeakers of your different zones to the line outputs on the rear panel. Each group of 5 connections corresponds to 2 zones. Each zone has a hot (H) and cold (C) connector, and each pair of zones shares the ground (G) connector.

4. To manage DN-508MX using its web interface, connect the Ethernet port and your computer to a network switch or router using standard Ethernet cables. If your computer is wirelessly connected to your router, connect just DN-508MX to that router. Alternatively, connect DN508MX’s Ethernet port directly to a computer using an Ethernet crossover cable.

To manage DN-508MX using serial communication, connect the remote port to your computer using a 9-pin D-Sub cable. Use a third-party utility to manage DN-508MX.

Tip: We recommend using the web interface to control DN-508MX rather than serial communication. It is much easier to use the web interface via IP communication than a thirdparty utility via RS-232 serial communication.

5. Use the included power cable to connect DN-508MX to a power outlet.

6. Power on all of your audio sources (Blu-ray players, stereos, microphones, amplifiers, etc.).

7. Power on DN-508MX.

page, respectively.

Input

Click the Input button at the top to view the Input page where you can set the equalization or output level of each input (the mic/line inputs, ST inputs, or Aux In).

Signal: This light indicates that the input is receiving an audio signal. Peak: This light indicates that the input is receiving an audio signal that is “peaking” (exceeding 0

dB). If this happens, reduce the setting of the Mic/Line Gain knob on the rear panel (for Mic 1–6) or on the audio source itself (for Source 1–4 and Aux).

EQ: Click this button to open the Input EQ window. In this window, click each menu to set the frequency (Freq), Gain, or bandwidth (Q) of the 3 available equalizations: a low-shelving filter (SHL), a high-shelving filter (SHH), and a parametric equalizer (PEQ). Only the parametric equalizer has a bandwidth control.

Output: Click this button to open the Mic Output window. In this window, click and drag each fader to set the audio signal level that each mic/line channel sends specifically to each zone.

Settings

Click the Settings button at the top and select Schedule, I/O Name, or System to view the corresponding settings page.

Important: Click the lock icon at the top of the page to lock or unlock the settings. When locked, you cannot edit any of the settings. This is helpful to prevent any accidental changes to the overall operation.

Schedule

Schedule: Click this menu to select a schedule to

view.

• On/Off: Click one of these buttons to enable or

disable the schedule. You can use multiple schedules simultaneously.

• Date: Click this menu to set a specific date on

which to apply the schedule (instead of regular days of the week). Click each menu to select the Month, Day, and Year. The ** option sets the schedule to repeat every month, day, or year.

• Day of Week: Click this menu to apply the

schedule regularly to certain days of the week (instead of a specific date). Click each checkbox to select or deselect the day.

• Time: Click each menu (Hour and Minute) to set when the schedule will be applied. The ** option sets the schedule to repeat every hour.

• Restore: Click this menu to reset all changes you have made to the current schedule.

• Save: Click this menu to save the currently shown schedule.

I/O Name

This window shows the names of all of your inputs (mic/line inputs, ST inputs, and Aux In) and zone (line outputs). Click each field and enter a name using your computer keyboard. Click Save to save the names.

System

• Setting File: This field shows the currently loaded setting file, if any. To download the current setting file (if any) to your computer, click Download. To upload a setting file from your computer to DN-508MX, click Browse, find and select the file, and then click Upload.

• Mic/Line: For each mic/line input, select whether the input is a microphone (Mic) or a line-level device (Line), whether the high-pass filter should be enabled (On) or disabled (Off), and whether the microphone should receive phantom power (On) or not (Off). Please note that most dynamic microphones do not require phantom power, while most condenser microphones do. Consult your microphone’s documentation to find out whether it needs phantom power.

• Source: Click each Gain menu to set the gain trim level of each audio source. All sources have an editable automatic gain control (AGC), which adjusts the gain level to help reduce noise in the signal:

o Compensation Level: Click this

menu to set how much gain is applied after the signal is compressed by the AGC.

o Response Time: Click this menu

to set how quickly the AGC reacts to audio signal.

o Noise Gate: Click one of the

buttons to enable (On) or disable (Off) the noise gate. When on, the audio signal will be automatically muted if it is below a certain volume level. This eliminates moments during which the source is not producing any sound but there is still detectable noise in the audio signal.

• Output: Use these settings to determine how each zone manages its audio output.

o Zone Mono/Stereo: Click this menu to

set whether the audio signal the zone plays is monaural (Mono) or binaural (Stereo). When set to Stereo it will actually use 2 zones (e.g., Zones 1–2, Zones 3–4), which will share the same output settings.

o Priority Settings: Each zone has settings

for 1

priority and 2nd priority. When the

mic/line input (set in the Source menu) detects an incoming audio signal, any other signal sent to that zone will be attenuated (“ducked”) so the incoming signal can be heard. The 1 will attenuate the 2

 Volume: Click this menu to set the

volume level of the incoming audio signal.

 Source: Click this menu to set the

source for the priority: Mic/Line 1–6 or no source (None). Setting both priorities to the same mic/line input will result in greater-than-normal attenuation.

 Threshold: Click this menu to set the

threshold. The incoming audio signal must be louder than this threshold to attenuate the current signal. A lower threshold produces more attenuation.

 Attack Time: Click this menu to set how long it takes for the current signal to be fully

attenuated.

 Hold Time: Click this menu to set how long the current signal remains fully attenuated after

the incoming audio falls below the threshold.

 Release: Click this menu to set how long it takes from the fully attenuated signal to return to

its previous level after the incoming audio signal falls below the threshold.

 Attenuation Level: Click this menu to set how much the current signal’s volume is

attenuated (“ducked”).

o Delay: Click this menu to set how long it takes for the zone to play any incoming audio signal

after it receives it. This is useful when multiple zones are playing the same audio signal— listeners in certain areas may hear that same signal multiple times because the sound from each zone reaches them at different times rather than all at once. Delaying the zone’s audio output can help prevent this effect.

o Dynamics: These settings determine the dynamic control (via compression) of the zone’s output

signal.

 On/Off: Click this menu to enable (On) or disable (Off) the zone’s dynamic control.  Threshold: Click this menu to set the threshold. The incoming audio signal must be louder

than this threshold to trigger the dynamic control.

 Ratio: Click this menu to set the ratio of the dynamic control—how much the signal is

attenuated relative to its original level.

 Attack Time: Click this menu to set how long it takes for the dynamic control to compress

the signal.

 Release: Click this menu to set how long it takes from the compressed signal to return to

its original level after the incoming audio signal falls below the threshold.

 Gain: Click this menu to set how much gain is applied after the signal is compressed.  Knee: Click this menu to set the knee of the dynamic control. This determines how sharp

or smooth the “curve” is when compression is applied at the threshold. A “hard” knee produces very dramatic compression, while a “soft” knee produces a more naturalsounding compression.

Uso de la interfaz web

Importante: Para utilizar la interfaz web, tanto el DN-508MX como su ordenador deben estar conectados

a la misma red. Recomendamos conectar el puerto Ethernet y su ordenador a un conmutador o enrutador de red utilizando cables Ethernet estándar. Si su ordenador se conecta a su enrutador de forma inalámbrica, conecte solamente el DN-508MX a ese enrutador. Como alternativa, conecte el

puerto Ethernet del DN-508MX directamente a un ordenador mediante un cable Ethernet cruzado. Importante: Visite denonpro.com y descargue la Guía del usuario completa, la cual contiene

instrucciones detalladas sobre cómo utilizar la interfaz web del DN-508MX.

Para abrir la interfaz web del DN-508MX en su ordenador, abra un navegador web.
