NX242 USER MANUAL LOAD2_22
DATE : 12/3/2004
The input meter is accessed through the MENU 1.1
(HEADROOM) by depressing ENTER
WX
button. Press
the ENTER
WX
button to toggle between the meter and
the normal HEADROOM screen. Note: In meter mode, the
default screen is not activated.
The meter also pops up automatically when the signal is
above a certain threshold.
The red arrow above illustrates the Headroom available
before clipping of the input converters of the NX242. The
dynamic range of the meter is 24 dB. The scale is given
below; maximum being 0dBFS (the red LED marked ‘in
clip’ will light).

A permanent peak hold allows you to see if input clipping
has reached. Changing the headroom (by turning the
wheel) resets the peak hold indication. You can also reset
the peak hold (without changing the headroom) by pressing
the enter
WX
button twice.
To set the HEADROOM correctly, feed a typical example of
the loudest desired program level into the NX242. Reduce
the Headroom by turning the wheel anti-clockwise until the
INPUT LED or DSP LED indicates the NX242 has reached
clipping. Then go one click backwards (turn the wheel
clockwise). The signal should now be clearly visible on the
meter scale, but without reaching the right-hand end of the
display.
1.2 DELAYS [Sub / Main / Global]
Each output channel can be delayed by up to a maximum
( individual delay) of 450ms (150m). See page 17
The unit can display in [FEET / METRES / SECONDS] as
required. Delay is adjustable in 10cm (0.3ms) increments.
The control pot will accelerate through the adjustments
faster according to the speed of use.
1.3 OUT Levels
[Global / HF /MF / LF / SUB]]
Adjust overall & separate TDcontroller gain with this menu.
These gain controls are provided to adjust the tonal
balance of the system by acting on separate channels. You
can also compensate for gain differences between different
amplifiers. (Although the use of differing gain structure
amplifiers in the same set-up is possible it is not
recommended).
Each of the individual or global gain is +/- 6dB. (Step
