QUICK OPERATION GUIDE – ADX-3200
Selecting Output Channels
Press ‘OUTPUT SELECT’ button, and turn knob until desired channel is selected.
Repeated presses of the 'OUTPUT SELECT' button will advance the selection to the
first channel of the next group of eight individual channels.
There are 40 outputs accessible in this mode: the 24 local analog outputs ("Local"
outputs), and the first 16 network transmitter channels that place audio on the Dante
Network ("Net" outputs). The last 16 network outputs are accessible by pressing the
PL PORT SELECT button. This accesses the 16 network PL ports as TX/RX pairs.
The VU Meter and Headphone Jack will follow the output selection.
Selecting the Source (for the current output)
The selected output may be fed from a variety of sources. The choices for most
outputs are:
Silence
Local Input (the corresponding analog input channel)
Net RX (the network receiver for this channel)
440 Hz Tone
Local outputs 17-24 do not have source selections. They are always the outputs for
the 8 PL channels to which the network PL ports may be assigned.
Assigning PL Channels
When you press the ‘PL PORT SELECT’ button you can select any one of 16 ‘4-wire’
network PL ports. They are Dante TX and RX channels 17-32.
On the network side, these may be routed via Dante to external PL devices, or PL
ports on remote devices like the ADX-120 Announce Unit, or the ADX-140 XLR
Interface.
Once a particular network PL port is selected, it may be assigned to any one of eight
available PL channels in the ADX-3200 by pressing the “SOURCE / PL CHAN’
button and turning the knob. This is equivalent to the familiar RTS thumbwheel
assignment panel.
To Adjust Level (for current output)
The output level can be adjusted in 0.25 dB increments. Maximum gain is +12 dB.
To adjust, press the 'LEVEL' button, and turn the knob.
We suggest that output levels only be adjusted in special circumstances. In most
cases the levels should all be left in the Unity (0.00dB) settings.
To Adjust Headphone Volume
Press the 'HP VOLUME' button, and turn the knob. The bar graph display will show
the knob 'position'.
