Saving a preset
Now we’ll save the settings we’ve made up to this point as a preset.
By recalling presets from the MTX itself or from the DCP, you can switch the settings as appropriate for various situations.
To save or recall a preset, click the camera icon in the upper part of MTX Editor.
When you click the camera icon, the “Preset” dialog box will appear. You can create up to 50 presets.
Click the preset number that you want to save; the line will be selected. Then click the [Store] button, specify the preset
name, and click the [OK] button.
Click a location where the DCP column indicates “No Assign,” and choose a library that you specified on the DCP.
Up to this point, you made separate settings for zone 1 and zone 2. However in some cases, such as a party, you might
want to remove the boundary between zone 1 and zone 2 so that they can be a single meeting area. In this case, make
settings in the “ROUTER” screen to route zone 1 to output 2, so that zone 1 and zone 2 can be used as a single space.
MTX Setup Manual
21
Page 22
Example 1) Basic MTX3 system example (analog connections)
If you save these settings as a different preset, you’ll be able to easily switch to settings suitable for a party.
If you use Recall Filter to specify that only ROUTER and DCP settings are recalled, other settings such as gain will
remain at the Basic settings even if you recall a party preset.
This completes settings in the offline state. Save the settings once again.

name, and click the [OK] button.
Click a location where the DCP column indicates “No Assign,” and choose a library that you specified on the DCP.
Up to this point, you made separate settings for zone 1 and zone 2. However in some cases, such as a party, you might
want to remove the boundary between zone 1 and zone 2 so that they can be a single meeting area. In this case, make
settings in the “ROUTER” screen to route zone 1 to output 2, so that zone 1 and zone 2 can be used as a single space.

desired settings, and then in the upper right, click × to close the
popup window. The appropriate gain level will depend on the
devices that are connected, so set the level appropriately for your
devices.
For channels 1 through 8, the gain is set to 30 dB by default.
Because a condenser microphone is connected to CH8 of UNIT
ID=01, leave the gain at 30 dB and turn phantom power on. For the
other channels to which wireless microphones are connected, lower
the gain to 0 dB.
EQ/HPF (High Pass Filter)
Click this to switch to the “CHANNEL EDIT” screen. Adjust the EQ and HPF
appropriately for the microphone you’re using. For ST IN, only EQ is available.
When you want to return to the “MAIN” screen, click the [MAIN] button.
FBS (Feedback suppressor)
FBS is provided on input channels 1 through 4. We recommend that microphone
inputs, and particularly movable microphones such as wireless microphones, be
connected to channels 1 through 4. When you click here, you will switch to the
FBS setting screen.
When you want to return to the “MAIN” screen, click the [MAIN] button.
For details on FBS settings, refer to “MTX Editor User’s Manual.”
[ON] button
This turns the channel on/off. You should turn off unused channels.
Fader
This adjusts the input level. Leave the fader at -∞ until the system goes online.
Channel name
You can double-click this to edit the name.
In this example, names have been assigned as follows.
The UNIT ID = 01 MTX is the base unit, and the UNIT ID = 02 MTX is for
expanding the number of microphones. Since wireless microphones are susceptible to feedback because of their mobility, we assign them preferentially to CH1
through CH4, which are equipped with FBS (feedback suppressor).

Priority signal flow
In this example, make the settings shown in the above illustration. Clicking a cross point (a square area) will switch it
on/off. The cross point shows the send level as the amount of green.
With these settings, all input signals other than the microphone at the chairman’s seat (CH8 of ID=1) are handled in the
same way. To give the microphone at the chairman’s seat higher priority than the other signals, it is assigned to 1
st
Priority in the following “ZONE” screen. When CH8 is turned on in MATRIX, the signal from the matrix (attenuated) will
be combined with the signal from Priority, and output together.
For the input channel faders in the lower left of the screen, the grayed-out faders show input levels, and the other faders
show input channel send levels. Grayed-out faders cannot be operated in this screen.

Settings in the “ZONE” screen
In the “ZONE” screen you can make Priority DUCKER settings. The Priority Ducker function temporarily attenuates
the inputs from other channels when audio is input from a specified input channel, ensuring that the audio from the
specified input channel will be broadcast clearly. Priority is given in the order of “1
>Matrix Out signals.”

PRIORITY > 2nd PRIORITY
In this example, the chairman’s microphone (assigned to CH8 of UNIT ID=01) has the highest priority. Thus, we select
st
CH8 as the PRIORITY SOURCE for 1
PRIORITY in ZONE 1, and click the [ON] button located at the right of 1st
PRIORITY to make it light. Since there is no need to make settings for ZONE2 through 8, make sure that the [ON] buttons at the right of 1
