1. SUMMARY
The RS-232C protocol described in this document is designed to be used to control the
9000M2 Series Amplifier from a PC and/or remote controller. This specification applies to
the 9000M2 Series firmware version 1.00 or later.
There are both descriptions of mixer mode and matrix mode in this manual, but only mixer
mode available with 9000M2 series.
Settings that can be controlled are as follows:
• Channel Fader Gain
Crosspoint Gain
•
Preset Memory Recall
•
•
Channel ON/OFF
• Power ON/OFF
Ton e Co ntro l
•
• EQ Settings(ON/OFF, Band number selection, Gain setting, Q setting, Center frequency setting)
•Loudness Compensation Settings
Filter Settings(High Pass Filter/Low Pass Filter)
•
•
Filter Settings
• Input Sensitivity Setting
•Phantom Power ON/OFF Setting
•Paging Event Preset Recall
Following values can be read from the 9000M2 Series Amplifier.
• Channel name
When connecting the PC and/or remote controller to the 9000M2 Series Amplifier using this
protocol, set the 9000M2 Series Amplifier’s RS-232C port as follows:
Bit rate: 9,600/19,200/38,400/57,600 bps (Select the band rate depending on the
remote controller to be connected.) (See; Operating instructions of the
9000M2 Series Amplifiers.)
COMMANDLIST, COMMUNICATION EXAMPLES and PARAMETER TABLES are
available at the end of each section of this document.

• 9,600/19,200/38,400/57,600 bps, 8 bits, non-parity, stop bit: 1, non flow control
• Connector: D-sub 9 pins, straight cable
Signal line: No.2=TX, No.3=RX, No.5=Ground

• Data length (N) refers to the length of the subsequent data of Data 1 to Data N.
• If received data contains more byte data than the Data length, these exceeding data are
abandoned.
• If a next command received contains byte data shorter than the Data length, the previous
command is abandoned.
4. TRANSMISSION DATA AFTER COMMAND RECEPTION
When normal data is received, the same data as the reception data is to be transmitted.
Example: 91H, 03H, 00H, 00H, 00H (Reception data)
91H, 03H, 00H, 00H, 00H (Transmission data)
When channel data is received and the data is outside of the range, the data is to be
inverted and transmitted.
Example: 91H, 03H, 00H, 08H
91H, 03H, 00H, 77H
When abnormal data is received, the data is to be inverted and transmitted.
Example: 91H, 03H, 00H, 00H, 6AH
91H, 03H, 00H, 00H, 15H
When data other than channel data is received and the data is outside of the range, no data
is transmitted.
Example: 91H, 03H, 05H, 00H, 6AH (Reception data)
No response
See section 9. COMMUNICATION EXAMPLES for other transmission data when normal
data is received.

5. CONTROL COMMAND AND SETTING VALUE
5.1. Channel Fader Gain
5.1.1. Channel Fader Gain - Position setting
Set the input and output channel fader gains to a fixed value position.
Note: Command cannot be received during power off.
9000M2 Series Amplifier responds with the same data as that received.
5.1.2. Channel Fader Gain(Paging Output Vol ume) - Position setting
Set the Paging output volume channel fader gains to a fixed value position.
Note: Command cannot be received during power off.
9000M2 Series Amplifier responds with the same data as that received.

CHANNEL FADER GAIN(Paging Output Volume) - POSITION V/S GAIN TABLE
Set the input and output channel gain positions by the number of steps.
Positions can be varied from the current status by the designated number of steps.
One position varies per step.
9000M2 series Amplifier informs position values changed by commands.
Position values are shown in POSITION V/S GAIN TABLE.
Values are 1dB step under -40dB, and 2dB step under -60dB.
The 9000M2 series Amplifier informs position values changed by Step Up or Down.
