1. Introduction
Thank you for selecting a product from the Martin Professional™ Maxxyz™ Modules range.
The Maxxyz Modules are an extension to the Maxxyz™ controller, the Maxxyz Compact™ controller or the Maxxyz PC™ family.
The Maxxyz Modules concept consists of either one or two modules installed in one Module Frame.
This manual matches the functionality in Version 2.6 of the Maxxyz software. For the latest firmware and software updates, documentation and other information about this controller, see www.maxxyz.com
1.1 Technical support

Before transportation, secure modules in place in a frame with the supplied screws.
1.3 Connecting to power
Maxxyz Modules automatically adapt to AC mains power at 100-240 V nominal, 50/60 Hz. Do not connect them to power outside this range.
You may need to install a cord cap that fits your supply on the power cable. A 3­prong grounding-type plug must be installed following the plug manufacturer’s instructions. The table below shows some possible pin identification schemes; if the pins are not clearly identified, or if you have any doubts about proper installation, consult a qualified electrician.

2. Setup and Assembly
There are two different methods of setting up the Maxxyz Modules: one for “stand­alone” use and one for mounting in a Maxxyz Module Frame.
2.1 Single ‘stand-alone’ Maxxyz Module
Each module is shipped with protective foam attached to each side. This foam supports the faceplate and prevents cosmetic damage to the module. Apart from connection to the controller, the module is “ready to use” as soon as it is removed from its packaging.
2.2 Mounting in a Maxxyz Module Frame
Installing a module in the lower opening of the Frame
1. Remove the module(s) and the module frame from their packing material.
2. Use a 3 mm Allen wrench to remove the two screws that attach the side strips to each side of the module opening in the frame.
Page 8
Maxxyz Modules User Manual 8
3. The module can now be placed in the lower opening. Put the side strips back on each side of the module and fasten them in place with their screws.
Important! The Cerebrum Module only fits in the upper opening of the Maxxyz Module Frame.
4. Connect the Power interconnect cable to the MAINS IN connector, or, if only one module is used, connect the IEC Power cable (part number 11501012) to the MAINS IN connector.
Page 9
Maxxyz Modules User Manual 9
5. Connect the EtherCon interconnect cable to the WING IN connector, or, if only one module is used, connect the EtherCon Network cable (part number
11840144) to the WING IN connector.
6. Connect the Lamp bayonet plug to the “LAMP” connector. This will connect the top illumination to the module.
Installing a module in the upper opening of the Frame
Cerebrum module
1. Use a 3 mm Allen wrench to remove the four screws that attach the blind cover plate (if installed) to the frame.
2. The Cerebrum Module can now be placed into the top opening. Put the side strips back on each side of the frame and fasten them in place with their screws.
Page 10
Maxxyz Modules User Manual 10
3. Connect the Power interconnect cable to the MAINS OUT connector.
4. Connect the EtherCon Network cable (part number 11840144) to the WING OUT connector.
5. Connect the IEC Power cable (part number 11501012) to the MAINS IN connector.
Important! The Cerebrum Module is a controller module and must not be connected to a Maxxyz controller, a Maxxyz Compact controller, a Maxxyz PC or another Cerebrum using the WING OUT outputs. The WING OUT outputs must only used to connect non-controller modules (Programmer, Button, Submaster and Playback Modules) to the Cerebrum.
Page 11
Maxxyz Modules User Manual 11
Non-controller modules (i.e. not Cerebrum module)
1. Use a 3 mm Allen wrench to remove the four screws that attach the blind cover plate (if installed) to the frame.
2. The module can now be placed in the top opening. Put the side strips back on each side of the frame and fasten them in place with their screws.
Page 12
Maxxyz Modules User Manual 12
3. Connect the Power interconnect cable to the MAINS OUT connector.
4. Connect the EtherCon Network cable (part number 11840144) to the WING OUT connector.
5. Connect the IEC Power cable (part number 11501012) to the MAINS IN connector.
6. Connect the EtherCon Network cable (part number 11840144) to the WING IN connector.
2.3 Notes
If the top module is not powered, the bottom module will not be able to communicate with the controller it is connected to.
The power switch is hidden behind the leg (if you stand in front of the controller, the switch can be found on the left-hand side).
The modules (but NOT the Cerebrum module, part number 90732140) can also be connected directly to a laptop or PC using a USB cable.
A non-controller module means a Playback, Submaster, Programmer or Button module.
A controller module means a Cerebrum module or a Wing OUT connection of a non­controller module, but can also be a Maxxyz, Maxxyz Compact or Maxxyz PC.
Important! Do not use both WING IN connections, USB and XLR, at the same time.
The modules can also be used in combination with older playback modules. The older modules, however, do not fit in the new frame.
Page 13
Maxxyz Modules User Manual 13
3. Daisy-chaining modules
Modules can be daisy-chained to a maximum of 4 modules deep. Each module has 2 outputs to daisy-chain to the next module(s): the Wing out and USB connections. Each Maxxyz Wing module uses some USB bandwidth (the amount depends on the Wing type being used), therefore it is possible that some modules will not be recognized if too many Wing modules are connected to a controller module.
Do not daisy-chain more than 4 modules deep. If the setup is 5 modules deep, the fifth module will not be recognized.

Maxxyz Modules User Manual 16
4.3 Connections
Connections to a Maxxyz controller, a Maxxyz Compact controller or a Maxxyz PC for either an individual Maxxyz Module or a frame with modules are simple and similar.
1. Connect an EtherCon Network cable (part number 11840144) to the “WING IN”
connector on the back of the module. If you are using the frame, use the “WING
IN” connector on the top module.
Important! Never use a WING OUT connection to connect a module to a Maxxyz controller, a Maxxyz Compact controller, a Maxxyz PC or a Cerebrum module.
2. Connect the other end of the EtherCon Network cable (part number 11840144) to
either “WING 1”, “WING 2”, “WING 3” or “WING 4” connector on the back of the Maxxyz controller or the Maxxyz Compact controller. It doesn’t matter which connector you use.
3. Connect the IEC Power cable (part number 11501012) to the “MAINS IN”
connector on the back of the module and plug the other end of the IEC Power cable (part number 11501012) to your mains power supply. If you are using the frame, use the “MAINS IN” on the top module (if installed).
While it is possible to use the frame standing separately from the Maxxyz controller, Maxxyz Compact controller or the Maxxyz PC controller, it is also possible to connect the frame directly to any of these devices.
4.4 Configuration
It is possible to connect up to sixteen (16) modules (or eight fully populated Maxxyz Module Frames) to a Maxxyz controller, a Maxxyz Compact controller or a Maxxyz PC controller. No more than four modules may be connected to any given “WING” connector found on the back of the controller and every module must have a unique ID (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F). These IDs are set using the rotary DIP switch found on the back of the module.
4.5 Software
The modules require connection to a Maxxyz controller running Version 2.6 or higher.
4.6 Controls
Most of the functionality of the Maxxyz Modules is covered in the Martin Maxxyz User Manual.

5. Service
The Maxxyz Modules are designed as rugged, roadworthy devices. Occasional cleaning is the only service required of the user. For any other service-related concerns, please contact your Martin dealer or visit www.martin.com.
Any service not described in this User Manual must be carried out by a qualified Martin technician.
5.1 Cleaning
The Maxxyz Modules require periodic cleaning, as does any computer. The schedule depends heavily on the operating environment; please consult a Martin service technician for recommendations if needed.
As with any computer, never spray the cleaner directly onto the module, always spray onto a lint-free cloth and wipe clean.
Important! Excessive dust and smoke fluid build-up can degrade performance and cause overheating and damage to the module that is not covered by the warranty.
