4.1 Configuration of the system
Meanwhile, the system will restore the exact operating conditions at the time of switching off.
16 Rs485 OUT
This is the standard serial communication interface port. It allows outgoing communication between
a MAXIDRIVE3.4+ and PC or other MAXIDRIVE3.4 units. The RS485 interface is very suitable for
remote control over long distances (difficult with RS232 standard ports) and daisy-chaining several
MAXIDRIVE3.4+.
17 RS485 IN
The function of the RS485 IN port is opposite to RS485 OUT. It allows incoming communication
between a MAXIDRIVE3.4+ and PC or other MAXIDRIVE3.4 units. The RS485 interface is very
suitable for remote control over long distances (Difficult with RS232 standard ports) and for
daisy-chaining several MAXIDRIVE3.4+.
18 RS 232
This is the serial communication interface port. It allows incoming and outgoing communication between
a MAXIDRIVE3.4+ and a PC or other MAXIDRIVE3.4 units.
Communication protocol includes:
-Remote control:
1). Connect the MAXIDRIVE3.4+ to a PC; 2). It is possible to use the
LTO
editing software to control functions of all the processor remotely.
-Preset Dump:
1). Connect two MAXIDRIVE3.4+; 2). It's possible to Dump the single Presets
from one unit to another (refer to Dump procedure).
-Program Change commands send/receive:
1). Connect two DAXIDRIVE3.4+; 2). When a Preset
is recalled on the first one, it's possible to send a Program Change command to the second one
to recall the same Preset number (refer to Load Preset procedure).
19 OUTPUTS
These (Outputs1~6) are balanced XLR-M connectors. The high quality, low noise, 20 bit converters
can make A/D conversion.
20 INPUTS
INPUT A and INPUT B are compatible with balanced XLR and JACK. They are audio connectors of the
respective sections. The high quality, low noise, 20 bit converters can make A/D conversion.
The powerful versatile signal processor MAXIDRIVE3.4+ is mainly designed for use with audio systems.
Its routing configurations of the input and output can be only set by recalling one of the PRESETS
included in the internal memory. So the user must be very clear about the main function of the unit in
order to get a best operation of your MAXIDRIVE3.4+.
Before you start your operation, please read the following parts carefully:
At first, switch off the equipment, carry out the audio and power connection from the various
components of your sound system.
Then, connect the main cord and only switch on the MAXIDRIVE3.4+. The display will show the data
regarding with the operating system release for a few seconds.

15 Digital In
Use the balanced XLR-F connector (one cable is enough to feed both inputs connect the processor to
units fitted with AES/EBU digital outputs. In this case, the two bypassed convention will improve the
quality of the signal. A signal connected to the digital input has the same processing as that connected
to analog input. The Digital/Analog input selection can be set by using the Input Select function (Utility
Menu-Misc. Setup Submenu).
