SERIAL (RS-232) CONFIGURATION

Additional serial port configuration settings are located within the Communication section of the menu bar. Serial 
settings can be configured in this box.

NETWORK (ETHERNET) CONFIGURATION

Additional network port configuration settings are located within the Communication section of the menu bar.  
Network settings can be configured in this box.

SAVE, LOAD AND PRESETS

The Presets section of the menu bar provides options to open and save configuration files and load and save 
presets.  

NEW, OPEN AND SAVE

New:  Performs a full reset of the settings in the application.
Open:  Load an existing .xml configuration file. Perfect for installs that require multiple PS-2.1’s with the same 
settings.
Save/Save As:  Save the currently selected configuration settings to a file on your computer. Perfect for backup or 
duplicating your PS-2.1 configuration in another unit.

FACTORY PRESETS

Three factory presets can be loaded:  2.0 stereo, 3.0 monaural and 2.1 stereo with a sub. These are baseline 
presets that are intended to be edited further.

USER PRESETS

Four user presets can be saved and loaded. The user presets provide easy recall to many settings at once, and 
can greatly simplify programming in environments that have repeatable conditions.

FIRMWARE UPDATE

The Advanced section of the menu bar provides a firmware update option. The latest PowerShape 2.1 firmware 
version is available at 

www.digitalaudio.com/powershape

.

HELP

The Help section of the menu bar provides the ability to see current version of the PowerShape configuration 
software. This version is located in the lower left corner of the box in a X.X.X.X format. If a PowerShape 2.1 is 
connected to the computer the Main CPU section will display the firmware version of the unit.
