Relay outputs: In addition to the standard audio outputs, the M2 also contains 8 relay outputs. Each of these relays contain normally closed (NC) and normally open (NO) contacts which can be connected using Terminal Block connectors. These relays can be triggered automatically when a paging message is announced for a certain zone, when a priority signal or contact occurs, at pre-defined timer scheduled moments or by pushing freely programmable buttons on a paging console.
Only one audio input device (data + digital audio transfer) can be connected to the PI ports (1 to 8) while multiple control devices (up to 32) can be connected to each PI ports (1 to 10) using bus cabling (connecting devices in parallel). Besides, the supply voltage to the peripheral inputs is also provided on the Peripheral interface connectors.
Chapter 3 M2 Quick start guide This chapter guides you through the setup process of a basic project using one M2 Mixer with 8 standard DW3020/4020 wall panels and two All-In-One DW5065 wall panels.
3) Connecting wall panels Connect the DW3020/4020 and DW5065 wall panels to the PI (Peripheral Interface) inputs (RJ45 connectors) on the rear panel of the M2. All PI ports (1 to 10) support data transfer, while only the 8 first PI ports (1 to 8) support data + digital audio transfer. Because of this, the basic DW3020/4020 wall panels may be connected to all PI ports while the All-InOne DW5065 wall panels may only be connected to PI ports 1 to 8.
3) Configuring wall panels and sources Basic DW3020/4020 wall panels Go to the ‘Setup’ menu and click ‘Peripheral configuration’. Now you have the possibility to choose between ‘Paging’, ‘DW5065’ and ‘DW3020/4020’. To configure the settings for the DW3020/4020 wall panels, click the corresponding button. The output for which a wall panel should be assigned can be chosen by the dropdown list. After the zone is selected, click the ‘Set Address’ button.
Certain actions such as Volume Change, Input change, Mute, Tone control and settings can be disabled from the wall panel and the phantom power on the microphone input can be enabled by clicking the check boxes. Finally, the display backlight level and screensaver settings can be adjusted. After all settings are done, click the ‘Save to Wallpanel’ button and all your settings will be send to the selected DW5065 wall panel. Repeat this action for all the connected DW5065 Wall Panels.
Chapter 4 User interface & configuration To gain access to the control and configuration settings, the M2 should be connected to a computer or an Ethernet LAN network. For more information about network connections and settings, see IP basics in chapter 9. The standard (factory default) IP address of the M2 is 192.168.0.190, make sure this address is within the IP range of the connected Ethernet LAN network (subnetmask 255.255.255.0).
If you log-in using the administrator password, you get access to all functions and configuration options of the M2 Mixer (The factory default password for administrator acces is ‘M2’). When you log-in using the user password, you only get access to the basic functions of the M2 mixer, such as changing the volume and changing the mixing for a particular output zone. (The factory default password for user acces is ‘user’).
Assign zone names For a better overview of all output channels, each fader can be assigned by a specific output name. The name of the output can be changed by clicking on the name which is displayed above the corresponding fader. When a cursor comes up, remove the existing name with the backspace key, and just change the name in the desired name. Click on the ‘Save Output Settings’ button and confirm to save the changed output settings.
Output settings After clicking the ‘Settings’ button displayed below a certain zone name, the settings menu for the corresponding output will be shown. This window gives an overview of all the settings which can be applied to one specific output. M2 Output Settings Input mixing All the inputs available on the M2 are displayed in this window. Every input is provided with a fader, whereby the mixing for all these inputs can be adjusted.
Line & Voice file inputs The latest two inputs displayed in this window are Line & Voice file inputs, which are one above the other displayed at the rightmost side of the window. Using the ‘Line in’ fader, the mixing level of the ninth direct input (one out of the four RCA inputs) on the M2 can be adjusted. Which of the four inputs (A, B, C or D) should be patched, can be selected in the Settings >> Input configuration >> Line In menu.
A scene can be created by placing the faders for all inputs into the position which is desirable for that scene (preset). Then this preset can be stored to one out of the 8 storage positions for that zone by clicking the ‘Save as scene’ button in left bottom corner of the window. Then, a window will show-up, whereby the created scene can be stored as one of the 8 provided presets. Previously stored scenes will be overwritten when a new scene is stored to the same position.
M2 Output Test Signals Sound Settings The sound settings screen gives the user the possibility to make adjustments according to the listeners preference using a two-band tone control. The leftmost fader indicated with ‘Bass’ offers the possibility to adjust the level of the low frequencies, while the rightmost fader indicated with ‘Treble’ offers the possibility to adjust the level of the high frequencies. The sound level level for both low and high tones can amplified or attenuated between +9 dB and -9 dB.
Configuration settings The configuration settings control panel emerges after clicking the “Setup” button. This button is always shown in the upper right corner of every window. (Only on Administrator level) M2 Configuration settings In this window, all the settings of the M2 can be made such as Input configuration, Output configuration, scenes configuration, Timer settings, Paging volume, Priority settings, Peripheral configuration, System configuration, Fiber settings, Amplifier bridging, ...
Direct inputs All direct inputs have presets for both Line and Microphone level and the gain can be adjusted manually by a fader or automatically using the internal Automatic Level Control. When Mic level is selected, a boost of 20 dB and a High-Pass filtwill automatically be enabled. The preset for Line and Microphone level can be made on the left side of this window.
Automatic Level Control (ALC) All inputs contain the possibility to enable Automatic Level Control (ALC). This continuously adjusts the input gain, ensuring a constant output level while the input level varies. The gain adjustments are made in extremely small step sizes ensuring highquality audio, even during gain changes.
The Decay parameter specifies the time how long the ALC will take for increasing the gain, raising the signal from the current level (below target level) to the target level. A slow Decay setting can be used if a fixed output level should be maintained, while a fast Decay setting can be used for compressing the dynamic range of speech. The Attack parameter specifies the reaction time of how fast the ALC starts attenuating after a sudden increase in input level above the target level.
3/7 Band parametric EQ An individual configurable three or seven bands parametric equalizer can be applied to any of the in- and outputs. The equalizer settings can be found in the in- and outputs configuration menu, and can equalise the sound in 3 bands with with a fixed frequency and bandwidth or 7 bands with an adjustable frequency and bandwidth. A shortcut to the input equalizers is provided in the ‘Output settings’ screen by pressing the ‘EQ’ buttons below the input faders.
M2 Seven band equalizer The Q-factor parameter is the quality factor related with the bandwidth of the filter. A higher Q-factor indicates a more selective filter with a smaller bandwidth. The standard Q-factor value for the 7-band EQ is set to 0.9, whereby the 7 bands have a good coverage over the entire audio spectrum. A higher Q-factor makes it possible to infuence specific frequency ranges of the audio spectrum. The Frequency parameter indicates the center frequency of the filter.
M2 Filter configuration Settings >> Output configuration After clicking the ‘Output configuration’ button, an overview of all the available outputs (Outputs 1 to 8) will be shown. Simply click one of the buttons to proceed to the input settings window for the corresponding channel. M2 Output configuration All outputs can be switched between Mono and Stereo.
Below the Mono / Stereo selection button are a Single-Ended / Balanced and an Antiphase selection button provided. When the Single-ended option has been selected, a boost of +6 dB will be enabled for maintaining the same constant audio level throughout the system, compared to Balanced output connections. Using the Antiphase option, the output signal rotates over 180° for applications where a contrary phase is desirable. The Equalizer and Filter functions of the outputs are similar to the inputs.
The window gives an overview of 8 listboxes, each corresponding with a number from 1 to 8. When clicking this listbox, all input signals (Direct inputs, Internal signals, Wall panel inputs, Fiber inputs, ... ) and scenes are selectable. To each number, one input or scene can be selected. After the selection has been done, click the ‘Set Inputs’ button and the inputs or scenes will be saved and assigned with this output.
In case the volume of the ‘Slave’ output should be higher compared to the volume of the ‘Master’ zone, the fader should be moved upwards (positive) while the fader should be moved downwards (negative) in case the volume of the ‘Slave’ output should be lower compared to the volume of the ‘Master’ output. In case the fader is in central position (zero) the volume of the Master and Slave zone will be equal.
Volume Using the ‘Volume’ dropdown list, the desired volume upon scene activation can be selected for the corresponding output. The standard value is set to ‘Don’t change’ meaning the volume for the corresponding output won’t change upon scene activation. When the desired volume has been selected, the volume for the corresponding output will change accordingly upon scene activation. Trigger Using the ‘Trigger’ dropdown list, the condition under which this ‘Global scene’ should be recalled can be selected.
The event which should take place can be selected using the ‘ACTION’ dropdown list. Change Routing To change the routing of a signal at a pre-defined moment, select ‘Routing’ in the ‘ACTION’ dropdown list, and select the desired input signal in the ‘INPUT’ dropdown list. This dropdown list contains all the available inputs such as the Direct, Wall panel and Fiber inputs. Besides these direct inputs, also all Global scenes can be found in this list.
Settings >> Paging Volume In the Paging Volume window, the paging volume for each individual output can be set using the dropdown boxes displayed next to the output names. The paging volume can be set in steps of -1 dB, starting by 0 dB, going to -∞. When the volume is set to 0 dB, announcements for the corresponding outputs will be made on maxium volume. M2 Paging Volume Switch relay Besides the paging volume selection, this window also contains a ‘Switch Relay’ button for every output.
When a contact input is selected, the priority will be triggered when a connection has been made between the selected trigger contact. In case an audio input has been selected, the priority will be triggered at the presence of an audio signal on the selected input. The ‘Input’ dropdown list shows all inputs which can be patched in case a priority situation occurs. This includes all Direct inputs, Wall Panel inputs, Fiber inputs and priority audio inputs.
Settings >> Peripheral configuration In this window, the configuration settings for external connected devices such as wall panels and paging consoles can be made. It shows three buttons, one for DW3020/4020 whereby the configuration settings for the simple wall panel controller can be made, one for DW5065 whereby the configuration settings for the All-In-One wall panel can be made and one for paging whereby the configuration settings for APM paging consoles can be made.

Simply click the button to proceed to the corresponding configuration functions. M2 System configuration Settings >> System >> Network In this window, the network settings of the M2 can be adjusted. The IP address can be set manually or can be automatically assigned by a DHCP server.
BE AWARE When a DHCP server is used in the network, and the DHCP function of the M2 is enabled, the DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address to the M2. In some cases this can cause problems because the IP address which is required to controll the device over TCP/IP is not always known for the user. In this case, the device will be lost in the network. One additional problem is that, when the device boots the next time, the IP address that the DHCP server assigns can be different.
Settings >> System >> Password In this window the passwords for the M2 can be changed. There are two different password levels. Administrator level which has full access to all functions and User level, which has only access to the basic functions. On the left side of the window the settings for the Administrator password can be changed, while on the right side the settings for the User password can be changed.
A second option is by synchronising the internal clock constantly with a public time server. This function can be activated by clicking the ‘Enabled’ button under the ‘Time server settings’ header. Subsequently, the time zone in which the device is located should be selected. In case the time server function has been selected, the M2 will try to synchronise every few minutes with a public time server, making sure the current set time is always accurate and won’t expire.
M2 Address settings Settings >> System >> Factory settings In the factory settings menu, all settings of the M2 can be set to factory default. It does not recall the previously saved settings, but will recall the original factory settings and all previously made settings will be lost. When clicking the ‘Factory Settings’ button, a warning window will appear. When proceeding by clicking the ‘OK’ button, all settings will be returned to factory default values.
