…………
In most cases you may need to adjust the output levels differently to properly balance the system components for ideal
performance.
Use the Edit2 [8] or Edit3 [9] Control to change the gain by ±0.1 dB per click. Turning these Controls clockwise increases gain,
while turning them anti ‐ clockwise decreases gain. The gain ranges from –12.0 dB to +6.0 dB.
Press the ESC button [11] to exit gain editing mode.
EQ Bypass
EQ Bypass flattens the 7 ‐ Band EQ on the output so you may hear exactly how it is affecting the system. By toggling the EQ Bypass
on and off, you may quickly compare the sound with and without EQ.
Turn the Edit2 [8] or Edit3 [9] Control to scroll between
Bypass = Off
[default] and
Bypass = On
.
Press the ESC button [11] to accept the new EQ Bypass mode and exit the EQ Bypass editing mode.
7 ‐ Band EQ
Output EQ is used primarily for adjusting the response of a particular loudspeaker or transducer. Additionally, output EQ may be
used to correct room anomalies in multi ‐ room setups.
Use the Nav/Edit1 [7] Control to change the frequency. Turning this Control clockwise increases the frequency, while turning it
anti ‐ clockwise decreases the frequency. The frequency ranges from 20.0 Hz to 20.0 kHz.
Use the Edit2 [8] Control to change the bandwidth by ±0.05 per click. Turning this Control clockwise increases the bandwidth,
while turning it anticlockwise decreases the bandwidth. The EQ band may be configured as high or low shelf by turning it all the
way anti ‐ clockwise.
These are the EQ choices from the furthest anticlockwise option to the furthest clockwise option:

–12 High Shelving

–6 High Shelving

–12 Low Shelving

–6 Low Shelving

0.05 – 3.00 [Parametric]
To change the EQ between shelving and parametric, the gain must first be set to 0.0 dB.
Use the Edit3 [9] Control to change the gain by ±0.5 dB per click. Turning this Control clockwise increases the gain, while turning
it anti ‐ clockwise decreases the gain. The gain ranges from –15.0 dB to +15.0 dB.
Press the ESC button [11] to exit the EQ editing mode.
Delay
Setting up output delays on the DX0.5 is useful for time and phase aligning transducers in bi ‐ and tri ‐ amplified loudspeakers
systems, aligning subwoofers to full ‐ range loudspeakers, aligning delay systems to mains on stage, and more.
As stated on page 14, Delay may be presented in one of three ways:

Time(ms), or

Distance(m) [default], or

Distance(feet)
Use the Edit2 Control [8] to change the delay by:

±1.000 ms per click, or

±0.340 m per click, or

±1.115 feet per click
Use the Edit3 Control [9] to change the delay by:
