The AC mains plugs should always remain accessible for operation.
Unplug the loudspeaker during storms or when it’s being used for a long time.

FIR FILTERS

Finite Impulse Response (FIR) fi lters are used in the signal processing of the GXR-12 cabinet. FIR is a type of
digital fi lter with linear phase characteristics. This frees system designers from the constraints of phase
anomalies associated with analogue fi lters or their digital versions (IIR, Infi nite Impulse Response). When
properly used, FIR fi ltering can audibly improve a system’s impulse response and reduce crossover

interference.

CONFIGURING THE CABINET DSP OPTIONS

From the buttons below the display on the cabinet’s back panel you are able to confi gure the Basic adjustment

functions of the internal DSP.

Please note that you must apply the desired confi guration in each one cabinet and requires electrical power to work.

CONFIGURATION PANEL

On the back panel you will see 3 buttons and an information screen, on which you can read the established

parameters and information such as amplifi cation module temperature, input signal level and name of the current

preset (Fig1). If changes are not made the display will automatically dim to save energy and avoid unnecessary
light in situations where light is not wanted. To re-activate the light simply press the OK button.
