MTX-MRX Editor User Guide MTX-MRX Editor is software for connecting, constructing, and controlling a system that uses MTX series, MRX series, XMV series, EXi8/EXo8, R series (AD/DA), and Tio1608-D units. The settings you make in MTX-MRX Editor are sent to the MTX series, MRX series, XMV series, EXi8/EXo8, R series (AD/DA), and Tio1608-D units that are connected via Ethernet. After the settings have been sent, the system will operate without a computer.

Chapter 1. An overview of MTX-MRX Editor An audio system control network When multiple MTX series, MRX series, XMV series, EXi8/EXo8, R series (AD/DA), and Tio1608-D units are connected to an Ethernet network, they will operate together as a single audio system. This is called an “MTX/MRX system,” and a space containing multiple MTX/MRX systems is called a “project.” If a computer is connected to the network, the computer can control the MTX/MRX system via the MTX/MRX.
Chapter 1. An overview of MTX-MRX Editor Terms used in this user guide These settings are not included in a preset file. ● Preset A preset is a set of parameters. Presets can be recalled from a DCP unit, a wireless DCP, or an MCP1 unit, via GPI, from an MTX unit or MRX unit, or from MTX-MRX Editor. Fifty presets can be stored in an MTX/MRX system.

What are YDIF connections? (Cascade mode and Distribution mode) Chapter 1. An overview of MTX-MRX Editor What are YDIF connections? (Cascade mode and Distribution mode) An MTX/MRX system has the following two connection modes. When connecting multiple YDIF devices (when making YDIF connections), you must choose one of these modes. In either case, the system can easily be expanded at low cost. Use the “Device Configuration Wizard” dialog box to switch modes.
Chapter 1. An overview of MTX-MRX Editor What are YDIF connections? (Cascade mode and Distribution mode) If only MTX units are connected Connection RING connection 01 MTX3 02 MTX3 03 MTX3 04 MTX3 Up to four MTX units can be connected. Connections can be in any order. Use the [Device Configuration Wizard] to switch both settings. YDIF MODE = CASCADE YDIF MODE = DISTRIBUTION To switch the settings of the two modes, click the [System] menu command “MTX Configuration” and make settings for each matrix.
Chapter 1. An overview of MTX-MRX Editor What are YDIF connections?

Connections can be in any order. Cascade mode If a device other than an MTX is connected, it is not possible to select Cascade mode. Distribution mode YDIF patching is done in the “EXT. I/O” screen.
What are Dante connections? (Daisy-chain connection and Star connection) Chapter 1. An overview of MTX- What are Dante connections? (Daisy-chain connection and Star connection) A Dante network can be connected in two ways. Set the DIP switches of the devices as appropriate for the type of connection. ❑ Daisy-chain connection In a daisy-chain connection, each device is connected to the next device, in a chain. This method makes it simple to construct a network, and does not require a network switch.
What are Dante connections? (Daisy-chain connection and Star connection) Chapter 1. An overview of MTX- ❑ About redundant networks A redundant network is a network consisting of two circuits: a primary circuit and a secondary circuit. Normally, communication occurs on the primary circuit, but if a problem such as a broken cable occurs on the primary circuit, communication will automatically switch to the secondary circuit.
Chapter 1. Patching An overview of MTX-MRX Editor Patching In a digital audio network such as YDIF or Dante that comprises the MTX/MRX system, you will make settings on the transmitting device to specify “which output channel/bus’s signals will be sent to which channels of the digital audio network,” and make settings on the receiving device to specify “which channels of the digital audio network will be received on which input channels.

System screen “FBS/AGC” screen “FBS/AGC” screen In this screen you can edit the “FBS (Feed Back Suppressor)” and “AGC (Auto Gain Controller)” parameters. 1 2 1 FBS setting area FBS (Feed Back Suppressor) is a function that prevents the unpleasant acoustic feedback that occurs when sound from a speaker is picked up by a mic and reamplified. In addition to being unpleasant, acoustic feedback places a strain on the speakers, and can damage them.
Chapter 4. System screen “FBS/AGC” screen Performing FBS detection for the FIXED type In order to obtain good results, you should set up the mics, speakers, and other sound equipment, and adjust the output EQ settings before performing detection. If you want, FIXED can also be used in conjunction with DYNAMIC. 1. Adjust the power amp output volume. While vocalizing into the mic, gradually raise the power amp output to the volume at which the system will be operated in actual use.
Chapter 4. System screen “FBS/AGC” screen 2 AGC setting area AGC (Auto Gain Controller) is a function that automatically compensates the gain according to the input level, keeping a constant output level for an incoming signal whose level is changing. For example, differences in how closely and how loudly a person is speaking into a mic can make their amplified voice vary in volume, making it less intelligible. In such cases, the volume will be automatically adjusted within a fixed range.
Chapter 4. System screen “DUGAN AUTOMIXER” screen “DUGAN AUTOMIXER” screen In a system used for unscripted speech, the automixer detects the mics that are in use and automatically optimizes the gain distribution, maintaining a consistent system gain between multiple mics without requiring an engineer to be constantly adjusting the faders. The Dugan Automixer provided by the MTX automatically adjusts the automix gain of input channels 1–4 on the MTX3 or input channels 1–8 on the MTX5-D.
Chapter 4. System screen “DUGAN AUTOMIXER” screen 2 [meters] button Switches the meter display of the channel control field between gain/input/output.

Chapter 4. System screen “DUGAN AUTOMIXER” screen 3 [weight] slider Adjusts the relative sensitivity between input channels. Set the meter display to “gain,” and adjust the weight setting so that the meters are at approximately the same level when there is no input. For example if noise is heard near a certain mic (e.g., air conditioner wind noise), lowering the weight value of that channel will reduce the noise.
