Other accessories that may be required (depending upon application)
DPX-2 DataPort Cable (module to amplifier)-
This cable is a 6 foot long male-female DataPort cable used for connecting the DSP-4
module to a DataPort equipped amplifier.
DPC-X DataPort Cable (module to CM16a)-
This cable is a custom length male-male DataPort cable used for connecting the DSP-4
module to a QSC amplifier network monitor, such as the CM16a. Length can be specified from 1 to 10 feet, replace “X” suffix with
length in feet.
DPX-1 External Power Supply-
The DPX-1 is used in applications where the amplifier’s DataPort does not supply operating voltage
to the DSP-4 module. This includes non-DataPort amplifiers and certain models of QSC DataPort equipped amplifiers (see Appendix for
details).
DPX-4 Mounting Bracket-
The DPX-4 holds up to 4 DSP-4 (or DSP-3) modules in a highly-adjustable 19-inch rackmount configuration.
Main bracket comes with right angle module support brackets and adjustable rack mounting ears for optimum flexibility.
Software Installation
In order to use your DSP-4 module, you will need to install the QSC Audio Signal Manager software on your PC. The module is config-
ured to pass full range audio unattenuated from input-to-output as shipped from the factory. You must use the software to configure the
module as desired.
1.
Insert the CD labeled QSC Signal Manager into your CD drive (typically drive “D:”). If your computer has AUTORUN enabled, the
installation utility will start automatically.
If it does not, then proceed to step 2, below. Otherwise, proceed to step 3.
2.
Run D:\Setup.exe (replace “D” with your CD drive’s designation if necessary) and follow the instructions displayed.
3.
When the installation is complete, you will be presented with a screen that prompts you to view the “Readme” file. Please take time
to read this- it contains important information on how to use the software.
4.
After installation, you will have an icon on your desktop labeled “Signal Manager”. Use this icon to start the application.
