Getting Started

When the DS-SP36 is turned ON the device model name will appear in the LCD screen:

DS-SP36

GALAXY AUDIO

A status bar will show the progress of the DS-SP36 initialization process:

DS-SP36

The DS-SP36 has four factory pre-set working modes: “2x2 WAY + SUB”, “2x3 WAY..XOVER”, “6 WAY.. XOVER and “3x2 WAY..XOVER”. After the initialization, the DS-SP36 will show on the LCD the first of the embedded preset working modes, or the last one selected prior to the unit being turned off. First time activation will default to the first of the preset working modes.

DS-SP36

2x2 WAY X-OVER

• Encoders and ENTER, ESC buttons

The DS-SP36 is equipped with 3 Relative Encoders, “NAV/PM1”, “PM2” and “PM3”. These encoders allow you to navigate the user interface and edit sections of the processor. They allow the user to navigate within the screen for the selection of sub-menus, pages and parameters and to select the values to be assigned during the editing operations.

The “ENTER” and “ESC” buttons allow the user to confirm or NOT confirm the operations performed by the encoders.

• UTILITY, A/B/C and 1/2/3/4/5/6 buttons

The UTILITY button allows the User to enter the Sub-menus and set the general characteristics of the Processor. The A, B and C buttons allow the User to enter the Editing Menus of the Processor's Input Channels and buttons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, allow the User to enter the Editing Menus of the Processor's Output Channels.

The A, B and C buttons as well as the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 buttons have double functions dependent on the push and hold time.

When the A, B and C buttons are pushed and held for more than one second Input Channels A, B or C are either muted or unmuted. The red LED will illuminate when the Channel is MUTED. When the “MUTE” LED is OFF, then the related Input Channel is UN-MUTED.

A momentary push of the A, B and C buttons enters the Editing Mode for the Input Channels (see later for the Input Channel Editing details). The blue “EDIT” LED will now be ON.

When the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 buttons are pushed and held for more than one second the Output Channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are either muted or unmuted. The red LED will illuminate when the Channel is muted. When the “MUTE” LED is OFF, then the related Output Channel is UN-MUTED.

A momentary push of the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 buttons enters the Editing Menu for the Output Channels (see later for the Output Channel Editing details). The blue “EDIT” LED will now be ON.

• DS-SP36 Menu and Sub-Menu Structures

● Menu “Input A/B/C” Input Channels Editing [access by pushing the “A/B/C”

buttons]

From the “Default Screen”, it is possible to access the “Input A/B/C” menu by pushing the “A” or “B” or “C” button. Once the button is pressed, the related blue “EDIT” LED will turn ON. The Sub-Menu pages can now be scrolled through by rotating clockwise and counter-clockwise the “NAV/PM1” encoder. For parameter editing it is necessary to press ENTER and an arrow will appear on the left of the screen “ -> ”. Then use the “PM2” and “PM3” encoders for selecting and setting the parameter values. On some parameters that have three independent values, you will also need to use the PM1 encoder, eg filter parameter settings.

Note: All parameter editing can be done using the “NAV/PM1”, “PM2”, and “PM3” encoders and the current shown value of the selected option is AUTOMATICALLY loaded during the encoders’ use and stored as the current value once leaving the page is AUTOMATICALLY loaded during the encoders' use and stored as current value once the page is left.

Gain page – from this screen it is possible to set the Input Channels Level from -12dB to +6dB. Press ENTER, and an arrow will appear on the left of the screen “ -> ” then use the “PM1” or “PM2” buttons. The value set on this screen will only affect the input level of the selected Channel A, B or C. The following is an example screen for the “Gain” page that has set the Gain of Input Channel A to +0.0dB:

Input-A Gain

–› Gain = + 0.0dB

Delay page – from this page it is possible to set the Input Channels Delay Time from 000.0000mS up to

848.9984mS, by steps of 1mS or 20.8uS. To set the Delay time, press ENTER, and an arrow will appear on the left of the screen “ -> ”. Then use the “PM2” encoder to set the Delay Time in steps of 1mS and the “PM3” for setting the “fine” Delay Time in steps of 20.8 microseconds. The following is an example screen for the “Delay” page where the Delay Time of Input Channel A is set to

160.1872mS:

Input-A Delay

–› Gain = 160.1872mS

EQ: [x] sub-menu – from this sub-menu it is possible to set the Input Channels five available Parametric or Shelving Filters.

Input-A EQ-X

1.00KHz BW1.05 0.0dB

The DS-SP36 allows the user to select either Bell or Shelving Parameters and assign them independently using the 5 available filters.

In order to select the filter's type, it is necessary to have the filter's GAIN=0.0dB, then using the PM2 encoder, rotate it “clockwise” in order to select the Bell filter's Bandwidth, or “counter-clockwise” to select the Shelving filter type (Low or High) and its order (1st or 2nd). So, in order to define the filter type for the filter number 1 (“x”=1), it is necessary from the above screen, to enter the filter's editing page pressing the ENTER button, and the screen will appear as follows:

Input-A EQ-1

–› 1.00KHz BW1.05 0.0dB

In this case, the filter's GAIN=0.0dB, and BW=1.05, the current filter selected is a Bell type now, rotating the PM2 encoder clockwise, the parameter BW will range from 0.05 up to 3 for identifying a bandwidth value for a Bell filter. If a Bell filter is selected, then the Gain can be modified from 0.0dB and the BW will range between 0.05 and 3. If the user wants to select a Shelving filter from the above setting, with the GAIN=0.0dB (if the GAIN is not

0.0dB, it is necessary to set it at 0.0dB using the PM3 encoder), rotate the PM2 Counter-clockwise. Once BW reaches the 0.05 value, with the next step of the PM2 counter-clockwise rotation, the selection of the Shelving filters will be entered. Still rotating the PM2 counter-clockwise, the Shelving filters and their order will be selectable in the following sequence:

1. 1st order Low Shelving = -6LoSh [on the screen]

2. 2nd order Low Shelving = -12LoSh [on the screen]

3. 1st order High Shelving = -6HiSh [on the screen]

4. 2nd order High Shelving = -12HiSh [on the screen]

Once the desired Shelving filter is selected, the PM3 can then be used to select the desired GAIN and when the GAIN is set at a value different from 0.0dB, then the filter type cannot be changed until this GAIN is returned to 0.0dB.

BELL Filter: As an example, if we want to set a bell filter within EQ-1, then the BW has to be set at a desired value of say 1.00 using the PM2 encoder, the GAIN at say +3dB using the PM3 encoder and the Center Frequency at say 1.00KHz with the NAV/PM1 encoder. The EQ sub-menu screen will show the following:

Input-A EQ-1

–› 1.00KHz BW=1.00 + 3.0dB

Once in the Bell Filter's edit screen all the filter's parameters can be modified using the “NAV/PM1”, “PM2” and “PM3” encoders for editing the Filter's Center Frequency, Bandwidth BW and Gain. The Center Frequency of the Parametric Filter can be edited using the “NAV/PM1” encoder, the BW the “PM2” encoder and the Gain the “PM3” encoder:

“Center Frequency”: the selectable frequencies range is from 20Hz to 20kHz in steps of 1/24 of an Octave and can be adjusted by rotating the “NAV/PM1” encoder. “Bandwidth BW”: the selectable BW range is from 0.05 Octave to 3 Octave in steps of 0.05 Octave and can be adjusted by rotating the “PM2” encoder. “Gain”: the selectable Gain range is from -15dB to +15dB in steps of 0.5 dB and can be adjusted by rotating the “PM3” encoder.

Low Shelving Filter: As an example, if we want to set a low shelving filter within EQ-1, then the PM2 encoder has to be rotated counter-clockwise until the desired Low Shelving filter, say -6LoSh appears on the screen, the GAIN at say +3.0dB using the PM3 encoder and the High Cut Frequency at say 1.00KHz with the NAV/PM1 encoder. The EQ sub-menu screen will show the following

Input-A EQ-1

–› 1.00KHz -6LoSh + 3.0dB

Note: Once the desired Low Shelving filter is selected, the PM3 can then be used to select the desired

GAIN and when the GAIN is set at a value different from 0.0dB, then the filter type cannot be changed until this GAIN is returned to 0.0dB.

The Hi Cut Frequency of the Low Shelving Filter can be edited using the “NAV/PM1” encoder, the Filter's Order can be adjusted by the “PM2” encoder and the Gain the “PM3” encoder: “Hi Cut Frequency”: the selectable frequencies range is from 20Hz to 20kHz in steps of 1/24 of an Octave and can be adjusted by rotating the “NAV/PM1” encoder. “Low Shelving Order”: the selectable Low Shelving Filter's range can be selected between the 1st (Lo-1st.) and the 2nd (Lo-2nd.) one. “Gain”: the selectable range of the Gain is from -15dB to +15dB in steps of 0.5 dB and can be adjusted by rotating the “PM3” encoder.

High Shelving Filter: As an example if we want to set a high shelving filter within EQ-1 then the PM2 encoder has to be rotated counter-clockwise until the desired High Shelving filter say -6HiSh appears on the screen, the GAIN at say +3dB using the PM3 encoder and the Low Cut Frequency at say 1.00KHz with the NAV/PM1 encoder. The EQ sub-menu screen will show the following

Input-A EQ-1

–› 1.00KHz -6HiSh + 3.0dB

Note: Once the desired High Shelving filter is selected, the PM3 can then be used to select the desired

GAIN and when the GAIN is set at a value different from 0.0dB, then the filter type cannot be changed until this GAIN is returned to 0.0dB.

Once in the High Shelving Filter's edit screen all the filter's parameters can be modified using the “NAV/PM1”, “PM2” and “PM3” encoders for editing the Filter's Low Cut Frequency, Filter's Order and Gain. The Lo Cut Frequency of the High Shelving Filter can be edited using the “NAV/PM1” encoder, the Filter's Order can be adjusted by the “PM2” encoder and the Gain the “PM3” encoder:

“Lo Cut Frequency”: the selectable frequencies range is from 20Hz to 20kHz in steps of 1/24 of an Octave and can be adjusted by rotating the “NAV/PM1” encoder. “High Shelving Order”: the selectable High Shelving Filter's range can be selected between the 1st (Lo-1st.) and the 2nd (Lo-2nd.) one. “Gain”: the selectable range of the Gain is from -15dB to +15dB in steps of 0.5 dB and can be adjusted by rotating the “PM3” encoder.

EQ: [x] sub-menu – from this sub-menu, it is possible to set the Output Channels five available Parametric

or Shelving Filters.

Out-1 Name EQ-X

1.00KHz BW1.05 0.0dB

The DS-SP36 allows the user to select either Bell or Shelving Parameters and assign them independently using the 5 available filters.

In order to select the filter's type, it is necessary to have the filter's GAIN=0.0dB, then using the PM2 encoder, rotate it “clockwise” in order to decide the Bell filter's Bandwidth, or “counter-clockwise” to select the Shelving filter type (Low or High) and its order (1st or 2nd ). So, in order to define the filter type for the filter number 1 (“x”=1), it is necessary from the above screen, to enter the filter's editing page pressing the ENTER button, and the screen has to appear as follows:

Out-1 Name EQ-1

–› 1.00KHz BW1.05 0.0dB

In this case, the filter's GAIN=0.0dB, and being BW=1.05, the current filter selected is a Bell type. Now, rotating the PM2 encoder clockwise, the parameter BW will range from 0.05 up to 3 for identifying a bandwidth value for a Bell filter. If a Bell filter is selected, then the Gain can be modified from 0.0dB and the BW will range between 0.05 and 3. If the user wants to select a Shelving filter from the above setting, with the GAIN=0.0dB [if the GAIN is not

0.0dB, it is necessary to set it at 0.0dB using the PM3 encoder], rotate the PM2 Counter-clockwise. Once BW reaches the 0.05 value, at the next step of the PM2 counter-clockwise rotation, the selection of the Shelving filters will be entered. Still rotating the PM2 counter-clockwise, the Shelving filters and their order will be selectable in the following sequence:

1. 1st order Low Shelving = -6LoSh [on the screen]

2. 2nd order Low Shelving = -12LoSh [on the screen]

3. 1st order High Shelving = -6HiSh [on the screen]

4. 2nd order High Shelving = -12HioSh [on the screen]

BELL Filter: As an example, if we want to set a bell filter within EQ-1, then the BW has to be set at a desired value of say 1.00 using the PM2 encoder, the GAIN at say +3dB using the PM3 encoder and the center Frequency at say 1.00KHz with the NAV/PM1 encoder. The EQ sub-menu screen will show the following

Out-1 Name EQ-1

–› 1.00KHz BW=1.00 3.0dB

Once in the Bell Filter's edit screen, all the filter's parameters can be modified using the “NAV/PM1”, “PM2” and “PM3” encoders for editing the Filter's Center Frequency, Bandwidth BW and Gain. The Center Frequency of the Parametric Filter can be edited using the “NAV/PM1” encoder, the BW the “PM2” encoder and the Gain the “PM3” encoder:

Low Shelving Filter: As an example, if we want to set a low shelving filter within EQ-1 then the PM2 encoder has to be rotated counter-clockwise until the desired Low Shelving filter say -6LoSh appears on the screen, the GAIN at say +3.0dB using the PM3 encoder and the High Cut Frequency at say 1.00KHz with the NAV/PM1 encoder. The EQ sub-menu screen will show the following

Out-1 Name EQ-1

–› 1.00kHz -6LoSh + 3.0dB

Note: Once the desired Low Shelving filter is selected, the PM3 can then be used to select the desired GAIN and when the GAIN is set at a value different from 0.0dB, then the filter type cannot be changed until this GAIN is returned to 0.0dB.

Once in the Low Shelving Filter's edit screen all the filter's parameters can be modified using the “NAV/PM1”, “PM2” and “PM3” encoders for editing the Filter's High Cut Frequency, Filter's Order and Gain. The Hi Cut Frequency of the Low Shelving Filter can be edited using the “NAV/PM1” encoder, the Filter's Order can be adjusted by the “PM2” encoder and the Gain the “PM3” encoder:

“Hi Cut Frequency”: the selectable frequencies range is from 20Hz to 20kHz in steps of 1/24 of an Octave and can be adjusted by rotating the “NAV/PM1” encoder. “Low Shelving Order”: the selectable Low Shelving Filter's range can be selected between the 1st (Lo-1st.) and the 2nd (Lo-2nd.) one. “Gain”: the selectable range of the Gain is from -15dB to +15dB in steps of 0.5 dB and can be adjusted by rotating the “PM3” encoder.

High Shelving Filter: As an example, if we want to set a high shelving filter within EQ-1 then the PM2 encoder has to be rotated counter-clockwise until the desired High Shelving filter, say -6HiSh, appears on the screen, the GAIN at say +3dB using the PM3 encoder and the Low Cut Frequency at say 1.00KHz with the NAV/PM1 encoder.

Out-1 Name EQ-1

–› 1.00kHz -6HiSh + 3.0dB

Note: Once the desired High Shelving filter is selected, the PM3 can then be used to select the desired

GAIN and when the GAIN is set at a value different from 0.0dB, then the filter type cannot be changed until this GAIN is returned to 0.0dB.

“Lo Cut Frequency”: the selectable frequencies range is from 20Hz to 20kHz in steps of 1/24 of an Octave and can be adjusted by rotating the “NAV/PM1” encoder. “High Shelving Order”: the selectable High Shelving Filter's range can be selected between the 1st (Lo-1st.) and the 2nd (Lo-2nd.) one. “Gain ”: the selectable range of the Gain is from -15dB to +15dB in steps of 0.5dB and can be adjusted by rotating the “PM3” encoder.

Note1 : once the desired options have been selected using the 3 encoders, they are automatically saved as current and stored in the DS-SP36 system status once leaving the page.

Note2: to exit this page, push the “ESC” button.

Vu-Meter page – from this page it is possible to select what is shown on the Output LED meters, by using the “PM1” or “PM2” encoders. The outputs' LED meters can show the Output signal LEVEL or the Output Limiters' activity. When the Limiters' activity is selected, the LED meters will show, from top down, the activity of the Limiter on the output.

Out-1 Name Vu-Meter

–› Vu-Meter = Limiter Act

When the output Signal Level selected, the LED meters will show, from bottom up, the Level of the signal:

The value set on this screen will only affect the input level of the selected Channel 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. The following is an example screen for the “Gain” page where the Gain of the Output Channel 1 is set to +0.0dB

Out-1 Name Gain

–› Gain = + 0.0dB

Limiter sub-menu – from this page it is possible to set the Output Channels Limiter.

The following is an example screen for the Limiter page where the Attack Time of the Limiter is set at 5ms, the Release Time is set at 0.2Sec and the Limiter Active Threshold is set at +5dB:

Out-1 Name Limiter

A: 5ms R: 0.2s +5.0dB

Upon pushing ENTER, the Limiter's parameters can be modified using the “NAV/PM1”, “PM2” and “PM3” encoders for editing the Limiter's Attack Time [A], Release Time [R], and Active Threshold.

Upon pushing ENTER, the above screen will change as follows:

Out-1 Name Limiter –› A: 5ms R: 0.2s +5.0dB

The Attack Time [A] can be edited using the “NAV/PM1” encoder, the Release Time [R] the “PM2” encoder and the Limiter Active Threshold the “PM3” encoder.

“Attack Time [A]”: the selectable range of the Limiter's Attack Time is from 5ms to 200ms in steps of 1ms from 5ms to 20ms, then 5ms - from 20ms to 30ms, then 10ms - from 30ms to 100ms, and 20ms - from 100ms to 200ms. The Limiter's Attack Time can be adjusted by rotating the “NAV/PM1” encoder. “Release Time [R]”: the selectable range of the Limiter's Release Time is from 0.1s to 3s in steps of 0.1s and can be adjusted by rotating the “PM2” encoder. “Limiter Active Threshold”: the selectable range of the Limiter's Threshold is from +20dB (Limiter not active) to -10.0dB in steps of 0.2 dB and can be adjusted by rotating the “PM3” encoder.

Note1: Once the desired options have been selected using the 3 encoders, they are automatically saved as current and stored in the DS-SP36 system status once leaving the page.

Note2: To exit this page, push the “ESC” button.

● Input and Output Channels Last Edited Parameter Return Function

Once you have escaped out of parameter editing within the individual Input or Output channels, the DS-SP36 will remember this last editing action on that Channel. When you return for your next editing action, pressing the EDIT button on that channel will immediately return you to the screen related to this last editing action.

This function makes fine tuning or modifying easier when it is necessary to make a number of adjustments to the same parameter in a short time sequence.

● Input Channels and output Channels LINK Function

The DS-SP36 is able to perform a unique LINK MODE between Input Channels as well as a link between Output Channels to enable quick and immediate editing (you cannot link output to input channels).

To link channels when editing, you will need to select a “Master” channel that will be the one to be edited and have it’s parameters displayed on the LCD screen. You can then select and link other channels (Slaves) that you wish to apply the same changes to.

To enter a link mode session, select the Master channel Edit mode, then link the Slaves by pressing their related Edit buttons. All Linked channels will be selected ready for adjustment when their “Blue” LED is lit in the Editing mode. Now all Slave channels and only those selected will modify their parameters accordingly as you edit the Master channel. All other existing parameters will stay the same within the Slave Channels unless edited by this link with the Master channel.

Note: The LINK function is NOT a COPY function.

If you want to edit the limiter of the Output channels 1, 2 and 4, you can enter the editing mode of Output Channel 1 by pressing the related Edit button and turning on the “Blue” LED below the Output Channel 1 LED meters. This assigns the “role” of Master and displays this channel’s parameters on the LCD:

Out-1 Name Limiter

A: 5ms R: 0.2s +5.0dB

Then press the Edit button of Output Channels 2 and 4, turning on their related “Blue” LED’s. Now all parameters edited on Output Channel 1, will also be applied to channels 2 and 4. If we want to remove one of the linked channels from the Link, press the related Edit button. Exiting the editing of the Master channel during a Link session will automatically terminate that Session. The Link will also be automatically terminated if during the editing of Output Channels you jump across to begin editing an Input channel or vice versa.

● Factory Reset

In the event of the password being lost or any other reason, the user may require the unit to be reset to the original factory settings. A "Factory Reset" that will clear all settings of the DS-SP36 and return the device to the original factory setting, is available to the user.

Note: Continuing with this process will mean the DS-SP36 will re-initialize to the original factory settings and any previously stored information and changed parameters will be permanently lost.

– Use the following procedure to perform the factory reset:

1. While the DS-SP36 is switched OFF, simultaneously press the ENTER+ESC+UTILITY buttons on the front panel.

2. Maintain pressure on all three buttons as you turn the power switch to On and the following LCD screen appears on the DS-SP36:

Please Wait......

Memory Reset

3. Release the buttons and wait for the DS-SP36 to re-initialize.

Once completed, the DS-SP36 will resume regular operation as though it was a new unit from the factory and no previously programmed parameters will be available for use.

Volume Control Table

● USB/RS485 Remote Control protocol for Presets Changing and Gain/Volume controls

The following is the HEX Code for controlling the DS-SP36 recall presets and master volume control:

Preset Changing:

CMD_RECALL_PRESET: CMD=1BH

A. The User has to send the following Command, including the number of the preset to load on the unit:

TX:

STX ID_M ID_N CMD D0 D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 ETX

F0H C4H XX 1BH NPreset 00H 00H 00H 00H 00H 00H 00H F7H

XX = 0,..,31 (ID device) Npreset=0,...,23 Presetnumber

The DS-SP36's microcontroller will check if the Preset is initialized (available or not yet created...)

B. If YES, then the microcontroller will send back to the User (eg Crestron/AMX Remote Control..) the same frame used by the command.

RX:

STX ID_M ID_N CMD D0 D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 ETX

F0H C4H XX 1BH NPreset 00H 00H 00H 00H 00H 00H 00H F7H

So in this case, if the user gets back EXACTLY what was sent, the preset is existing and loaded on the unit.

C. If the preset that the user wanted to load is NOT YET INITIALIZED (not yet created, so not available...), the microcontroller will notify that to the user, sending back the following frame:

RX:

STX ID_M ID_N CMD D0 D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 ETX

F0H C4H XX 1BH NPreset 00H 00H 00H 00H 00H 00H 00H F7H

Input Gain and Output Volume Control:

UPDATE GAINS-PHASE: CMD=01H

A. The User has to send the following Command, including the value to be assigned to “Vol”, for modifying

the Input Gain (Chn = 0, 1, 8) or the Output Volume (Chn = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7). Also the Output signal Phase can be modified:

TX:

STX ID_M ID_N CMD D0 D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 ETX

F0H C4H XX 01H Chn 00H 00H 00H 00H 00H Phs Vol F7H

XX = 0,..,31 (ID device) Chn= 0,...,8: Channel selected, 0, 1, 8=In1, In2, In3; 2,...,7=Out1,..,Out6; when Channel 0, 1, 8 selected, then Vol= Input Gain, when Channel 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 selected, then Vol= Output Vol. Phs= Phase only if the Chn>1; Value=0, 1 where 0=direct, 1=inverse (180') Vol= Gains from 0 to 180 (-12dB/ +6dB step 0.1dB)

B. If the command has been properly executed and the Gain/Volume modified, then the microcontroller will

send back to the User (eg Crestron/AMX Remote Control..) the same frame used by the command:

RX:

STX ID_M ID_N CMD D0 D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 ETX

F0H C4H XX 01H Chn 00H 00H 00H 00H 00H Phs Vol F7H
