DPU DIGITAL PATCHING UNIT FOR NXAMP
There is three kind of information displayed alternatively on the DPU screens. But the
speakon to use is always indicated clearly with arrows next to the plug in use.
(1) Speaker Name
The speaker name is indicated next to each plug to be used. For example bellow for a set
of PS15R2 (setup number 41 in LOAD3_15).
You will notice that the second line of the display is used, meaning that the output is on the
2+/2- pair of each speakON® 4 connector. Note the arrow to each SPK4 connector.
For an Alpha setup (setup number 8 in LOAD3_15), using speakON® 8 connector:
The S2 and the B1-15 have an arrow to each side (one to the SPK8, the other one to the
SPK4) because you can either use a SPK4 to connect directly the S2 and the B1-15 or you
can use a SPK8 to a M3 cabinet, from which you will link a S2 or B1-15 using a SPK4.
The M3 cabinet can be connected using SPK8 only so it shows only arrow to this plug. Note
that the M3 text is displayed on both line because is is an active speaker using both 3+/3-
pair and 4+/4- pair of the SPK8 connector.
(2) Speaker Mode
For some setups, the mode is shown also on the display alternatively. For example for our
PS15R2 setup, if you edit the setup for Channel 2 and select a monitor setup, the DPU
display above will alternate with:
This information told us that the PS15R2 to be connected on the first SPK4 should be a
passive (PA) cabinet, the one connected to the second SPK4 will be passive (PA) also but
uses a Monitor setup.
