An overview of MRX Designer An overview of MRX Designer The MRX is a freely configurable processor that allows you to place components as desired to freely design a system. The MRX can be operated from an external controller such as a DCP, Wireless DCP, or MCP1. Using the PGM1 allows a paging system to be constructed. MRX Designer is dedicated software for configuring the MRX. In MRX Designer, your workflow consists of freely placing Components in Design sheet and then Compile the result.
Screen structure Screen structure MRX Designer consists of a “menu bar,” “tool buttons,” “Components area,” “Parameter Sets area,” “Parameter Link Group area,” “design sheet,” “Properties area,” “Parameters area,” and “Bird’s Eye view.” 7 1 2 A 8 3 B 9 0 4 5 6 In the upper right of each area is a “ ” symbol; when you click this, the area becomes an icon and is placed at the left or right side of the screen, allowing the design sheet to occupy more of the screen.
Screen structure 4 “Parameter Sets” area In this screen you can create parameter sets for each system, and store or recall snapshots. From the design sheet, call up the component editor. While holding down , drag the parameter that you want to register and drop it on the parameter set name in the “Parameter Sets” area; the parameter is registered in the parameter set. Snapshots can also be created in this area.

If a component is selected, this moves the selected component upward. < > / +< > Scrolls the design sheet downward. If a component is selected, this moves the selected component downward. < > / +< > Scrolls the design sheet to the left. If a component is selected, this moves the selected component to the left.
Shortcut keys Key combinations Operation + + drag the mouse cursor Selects the input ports and output ports of the components that are completely enclosed by the rectangular area in the design sheet. Double-click a component in the “Components” area Initiates Stamp mode. Stamp mode is a function that places a component on the design sheet each time you click. Exits Stamp mode or editing.
Design sheet Design sheet Here you can place components and connect them. Parameter settings are the main operations that you can perform while online. Operations such as placing and connecting components can only be done while offline. ❑ Placing components Here we explain how to place components on the design sheet. NOTE If any component in the “Components” area is selected, pressing an alphabetical key will select the component of the matching initial letter.
Selecting multiple components, ports, or wires ❑ Selecting multiple components, ports, or wires Here’s how to select multiple components placed in the design sheet, or multiple wires that connect ports of components. • Use the mouse cursor to completely enclose objects Drag the mouse cursor to select the components, component ports, wires, and text that are completely enclosed by the rectangular area in the design sheet.
Selecting multiple components, ports, or wires • Hold down and click objects Hold down and click the target that you want to select. If you hold down and click an object that is already selected, the selection is cleared. This is convenient when you have selected multiple objects by enclosing them, and then want to de-select one of the selected objects.
Connecting ports ❑ Connecting ports Here we explain how to make connections between ports of components by creating a wire between the ports. • Making one connection at a time Drag one output port to the input port of the destination component. • Making multiple connections at a time Select multiple output ports, and drag one of these ports to an input port of the destination component.
Tracing the signal path ❑ Tracing the signal path Here we explain how to view the signal path. To view the signal path, add a check mark to the [Tools] menu →[Trace Signal Path] command. • Click a wire The path of the signal flowing through that wire is shown. • Click a port The path of the signal flowing through that port is shown. If the signal path is connected but no audio signal flows because it is turned OFF or the level is minimized, the signal path is shown as a dashed line.
Duplicating an input port name ❑ Duplicating an input port name If you want to use the signal name as the port name, it is convenient to duplicate the port name. Here we explain how to automatically duplicate the input port name. In general, the input port name is automatically duplicated to the input port of the connectiondestination component, but the following exceptions apply.
About [Unbundle Wires] ❑ About [Unbundle Wires] After you have placed all of the necessary components and have finished creating wires between them, you can select all components and execute [Unbundle Wires] to prevent the wires from overlapping in the display. When you execute [Unbundle Wires], the items in the “Properties” area for the components and the wires connected to the components are set to the following values.
YDIF handling ❑ YDIF handling In an MTX/MRX system that uses YDIF to transmit or receive audio signals, you’ll need to make connections by placing YDIF IN and YDIF OUT components on the MRX. If these connections are not made, the YDIF signal might be disconnected inside the MRX, causing the sound to no longer be output. If you’re not performing signal processing inside the MRX, connect the inputs directly to the outputs as shown in the diagram below.
Duplicating components ❑ Duplicating components Here we explain how to duplicate components together with their parameters. • Right-click a component and choose [Duplicate] A duplicate, overlapping component is created. If multiple components with their wires are selected when you choose [Duplicate], the components are duplicated together with their wires. • Drag and drop a component while holding down A duplicate is created where you drop the component.
“Parameter Sets” area “Parameter Sets” area A set of parameters stored or recalled as a snapshot is called a “parameter set.” You can create such a parameter set, register the desired parameters of the MRX to the parameter set, and store the current values of the parameter set members as a snapshot. One parameter set can store up to 10 different snapshots. A parameter can be registered in more than one parameter set. Parameters can be registered in a parameter set in the following ways.
“Parameter Sets” area 2 3 1 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 A If you place the cursor on the border between Parameter Sets and Snapshot, the cursor changes shape, letting you drag to change the height of Snapshot. 1 [New] button Creates a new parameter set. 2 [Add Device] button Registers an individual device to the parameter set. NOTE Even if you register an entire device, the Link Master settings of the parameter link group are not included.
“Parameter Sets” area 4 [Duplicate] button Duplicates the selected parameter set. If you want to duplicate the snapshots as well, add a check mark to [Duplicate Snapshots Also] in the “Duplicate” dialog box that appears. 5 [+]/[–] buttons Completely expands or completely minimizes the parameter set display. 6 Parameter set name Shows the name of the parameter set. You can double-click the parameter set name and edit it.
“Preset” dialog box ❑ “Preset” dialog box If you register a snapshot in a preset, it can be recalled together with devices such as the MTX, XMV, and DCP. To store all of the parameters of the MRX units included in the MTX/MRX system, store the preset by pressing the [Store] button in the “Preset” dialog box. The parameters are linked to the preset as [All Parameters]. However if you want to change only some of the parameters of the MRX, replace [All Parameter] with a snapshot.
“Preset” dialog box 1 2 3 1 Preset recall method selection buttons Depending on the selection here, preset recall will operate as follows. No Assign : The corresponding preset will not recall the parameters of the MRX. All Parameters : The corresponding preset will control all parameters (including all Link Master settings) of the MRX. Snapshot / Snapshot Group : The corresponding preset will recall a snapshot or multiple snapshots (a snapshot group).
“Preset” dialog box Using a preset to recall only one snapshot Open the [Snapshot] tab. Select the snapshot that you want to recall, and click the [OK] button.
“Preset” dialog box Using a preset to recall multiple snapshots 3 4 2 1 5 6 7 8 Open the [Snapshot Group] tab. 1 [New] button Opens the “New Snapshot Group” dialog box, allowing you to create a new snapshot group. 2 [Edit] button Opens the “Edit Snapshot Group” dialog box, allowing you to edit the selected snapshot group. The procedure is the same as in the “New Snapshot Group” dialog box.
“New Snapshot Group” dialog box “New Snapshot Group” dialog box A snapshot group recalls multiple snapshots in succession. A created snapshot group can be used with a preset, scheduler, GPI, DCP, Wireless DCP, or Remote Control Setup List. In this dialog box you can select a snapshot and register it in the snapshot group or delete it. 1 3 5 2 6 4 7 8 1 “Group Name” Shows the name of the snapshot group. You can select the displayed name and edit it.
“Parameter Link Group” area “Parameter Link Group” area You can create a parameter link group that links multiple parameters such as Level or ON/OFF. The parameters of multiple MRX units within the MTX/MRX system can be registered in a single parameter link group. A single parameter can also be registered in more than one parameter link group. A created parameter link group can be used with a snapshot, scheduler, GPI, DCP, Wireless DCP, or Remote Control Setup List.
Link Master editor ❑ Link Master editor There is a link master for each parameter link group. When you change a link master parameter, the change also affects the parameters that are registered to the parameter link group. Even if you change a parameter that is registered to the parameter link group, the change does not affect the link master parameters. The name of the parameter link group is shown in the title bar and at the bottom of the editor.
“Gang Edit Group” area “Gang Edit Group” area In this area you can create gang edit groups that link multiple components. Components of multiple MRX units within a MTX/MRX system can be registered in a single gang edit group. This lets you simultaneously modify the parameters of similar components within a group. Since this can be done even when offline, you can use it to make final adjustments to (for example) the Speaker Processor while listening to the sound at the actual location.
“Gang Edit Group” area 1 [Active] button Enables/disables the gang edit group function. This applies to the currently selected group. 2 [New] button Creates a new gang edit group. 3 [Delete] button Deletes the selected gang edit group or component. 4 [+]/[?] buttons Completely expands or completely minimizes the gang edit group display. 5 [Parameters] check box Select the check box for parameters that you want to link.

Acoustic Echo Canceller (AEC) ❑ Acoustic Echo Canceller (AEC) Acoustic Echo Canceller (AEC) is a function that eliminates the acoustic echo that can be a problem during remote conferencing when sound from a speaker is picked up by microphones or reflected from a wall, or steady-state noise such as produced by air conditioning systems. By providing the other party with clear audio from which such echo and noise have been removed, conversation during the remote conference can be conducted smoothly.
Acoustic Echo Canceller (AEC) 2 [NR] button This is an on/off switch for the noise reduction function which removes steady-state noise such as produced by a projector or air conditioner in the local location. We recommend that you leave this on. 3 [THRESHOLD] knob When applying noise reduction, noise that exceeds the Threshold level is attenuated down to the level specified by Threshold. 4 Level meters These show the input/output levels and information related to acoustic echo.
Ambient Noise Compensator (ANC) ❑ Ambient Noise Compensator (ANC) ANC (Ambient Noise Compensator) is a function that boosts or attenuates the level of the program source according to the level that is being input via an ambient noise detection mic. The ANC function provided by the MTX is a gap-type ANC that detects silent intervals such as between songs, detects the noise level during those intervals, and varies the level accordingly.
“Ambient Noise Compensator” editor “Ambient Noise Compensator” editor Here you can make settings related to ANC. 1 2 3 4 Program source input level Gap Threshold Gap Time Gap Time Gap Gap Time Ambient noise level Higher Sense Threshold Program source compensation amount Lower Time Response Time Response Time Max. Gain Time Min. Gain 1 ANC [ON] button Switches the ANC function between enabled and disabled. 2 AMIBIENT • Level meter Shows the level of ambient noise.
“Ambient Noise Compensator” editor 3 GAP • [THRESHOLD] knob Specifies the threshold value of the program source. If the level of the program source remains below the threshold for a specified time, it will be interpreted as a gap. • [TIME] knob Specifies the time required for a gap to be detected. 4 PROGRAM SOURCE GAIN • [MIN GAIN] knob Specifies the minimum value of program source level compensation. • [MAX GAIN] knob Specifies the maximum value of program source level compensation.
Audio Detector ❑ Audio Detector Audio Detector is a function that detects audio signals. By registering the detection indicator to the GPI Output, a signal can be output from the unit's GPI [OUT] connector when an audio signal is detected. “Audio Detector” editor Here you can specify the threshold value of the audio signal, and see whether an input exceeding the threshold value has been detected. 1 2 3 4 1 Detection indicator Lights when an input exceeding the threshold value is detected.
Auto Gain Controller (AGC) ❑ Auto Gain Controller (AGC) 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.
“Auto Gain Controller” editor Compensation Level Threshold Ratio 1 -21 2 -27.75 1 1.3 3 -34.5 2 4 -41.
Combiner ❑ Combiner This function is used when audio signals are shared between multiple rooms, or when a single room is partitioned in varying ways. The audio signal outputs are changed according to how the rooms are divided or connected. The MRX provides two types of combiner: “Room Combiner” and “Room Combiner plus Automixer.” The latter adds Dan Dugan Automixer functionality. Up to eight rooms can be registered in the combiner, and you can also specify the shape of the rooms as their actual shape.
Combiner If you want to reassign the room numbers, click the room numbers consecutively. During editing, if you want to renumber the rooms starting from 1, click the [Restart numbering] button. After you have finished renumbering, click the [Next>] button. The screen changes to a screen where you can specify the number of mics placed in the rooms.
Combiner In the dropdown list, select the number of mics used by all rooms, and click or drag the cells of the mics to be assigned to the rooms. After you have finished making assignments, click the [Create] button. “Room Combiner plus Automixer” is placed in the design sheet. “Room Combiner” does not have this screen. The inputs are assigned as follows, starting from the top.
“Room Combiner” editor / “Room Combiner plus Automixer” editor “Room Combiner” editor / “Room Combiner plus Automixer” editor Here you can specify which rooms are combined. 1 2 3 4 5 1 Rooms This area shows the rooms. When you click a button located between two rooms (the combine button), the rooms are combined. Combined rooms are shown in the same color. When you double-click or right-click a tile and choose [Open Parameter Window], the combiner parameter setting window appears.
Combiner parameter setting window (Room Combiner) Combiner parameter setting window (Room Combiner) Here you can view and edit the parameters of all rooms. When rooms are connected, [Room In] can be adjusted for each room; however, the setting of the lowest-numbered room takes priority for [Paging]/[BGM]/[Room Out]. 1 3 4 2 6 5 1 Index Shows the number and color assigned to the room. Connected rooms are shown in the same color. 2 [Name] box Indicates the room name.
Combiner parameter setting window (Room Combiner plus Automixer) Combiner parameter setting window (Room Combiner plus Automixer) This mixes [Local In], [BGM], and [Paging] with each room’s mic inputs that have been auto-mixed and output by the Dugan Automixer. Here you can view and edit the parameters of all rooms. When rooms are connected, [Local In] can be adjusted for each room; however, the setting of the lowest-numbered room takes priority for parameters other than [Local In].
Dugan Automixer window (Room Combiner plus Automixer) Dugan Automixer window (Room Combiner plus Automixer) This customizes the “Dugan Automixer” component for use with Room Combiner plus Automixer. For details, refer to “Dugan Automixer” component editor. Although the “Dugan Automixer” component mixes mics in units of groups, this window does not have a Group parameter because mics are mixed for each room. The name of the room to which the mic was originally assigned is shown above the channel number.
Delay ❑ Delay In a sound system that includes multiple speaker units, it may appear to a listener that the voice of the person talking is originating from a nearby speaker unit, rather than from the actual person. In such cases, you can correct the perceived localization by delaying the audio of the nearby speaker unit in proportion to the distance between the speaker unit near the person who is talking and the speaker unit that is far from that person.
Dynamics ❑ Dynamics The MRX lets you specify four types of component that modify the dynamic range: Compressor, Ducker, Gate, Limiter, and Paging Ducker. The illustrations used in the following explanation are for the case of STEREO. For components other than Paging Ducker, the bottom input is for inputting the key-in signal. For Paging Ducker, the bottom input is for inputting the signal from the paging mic. “Compressor” component editor This type of signal processing compresses the dynamic range.
“Compressor” component editor 2 Compressor curve This shows the effect as a graph. The horizontal axis is the input signal level, and the vertical axis is the output signal level. 3 [GR] meter Indicates the amount of gain reduction. 4 [OUT] meter Shows the output signal level. 5 [KEY IN] list box From this list, select the input signal that is used as the key-in signal; that is, the reference signal that causes the compressor to operate. The following choices are provided.
“Ducker” component editor “Ducker” component editor This function reduces the audio signal level (volume) of the input channel when an audio signal is input to a specific channel. For example if this is used on background music and the key-in source is assigned to a channel with a mic connected, the background music will automatically diminish when an announcement is made into that mic, and automatically return to the original volume when the announcement is over.
“Ducker” component editor 5 [KEY IN] list box From this list, select the input signal that is used as the key-in signal; that is, the reference signal that causes DUCKER to operate. The following choices are provided. • [SELF] For a monaural channel component, the input signal is used as the trigger source. • [L]/[R] For a stereo channel component, the L or R input signal is used as the trigger source. • [LR BOTH] For a stereo channel component, both L/R input signals are used as the trigger source.
“Gate” component editor “Gate” component editor This type of signal processing passes the audio signal only while it exceeds a specified volume. Use this to cut low-level noise, such as when there is no input from a mic, or when the input is below a specified level (the threshold value). 1 5 6 8 7 9 0 3 2 4 1 GATE [ON] button Switches the gate function between enabled and disabled. 2 Gate curve This shows the effect as a graph.
“Gate” component editor 6 [THRESHOLD] knob Specifies the threshold level at which the gate will take effect. 7 [RANGE] knob Specifies the amount of attenuation applied when the gate is active. 8 [ATTACK] knob Specifies the attack time (the time from when the input signal exceeds the threshold until the gate opens). 9 [HOLD] knob Specifies the hold time (the time from when the input signal falls below the threshold until the gate begins to close).
“Limiter” component editor “Limiter” component editor Input signals that exceed the threshold value are compressed ∞:1, preventing signals greater than the threshold value from being output. This is used mainly to keep power amps and speaker systems from being damaged by excessive input.
“Limiter” component editor 5 [KEY IN] list box From this list, select the input signal that is used as the key-in signal; that is, the reference signal that causes the limiter to operate. The following choices are provided. • [SELF] For a monaural channel component, the input signal is used as the trigger source. • [L]/[R] For a stereo channel component, the L or R input signal is used as the trigger source.
“Paging Ducker” component editor “Paging Ducker” component editor This function controls the audio signal level of the program source by the on/off status of the TRIGGER [ON] button. Since the TRIGGER [ON] button and [RANGE] indicator can be registered to GPI or the Remote Control Setup List, they can be controlled from an external device or made to light an external LED. The MRX7-D can provide up to 24 Paging Duckers per unit.
“Paging Ducker” component editor 3 [RANGE] knob/indicator The knob sets the audio signal level of the program source when the TRIGGER [ON] button is on. The indicator is lit when the signal decreases to the level specified by the knob. If you attach an LED to GPI and register the [RANGE] indicator to GPI, you’ll be able to check whether the paging mic is active.
Effect ❑ Effect The MRX provides a mono channel effect. “Effect” component editor 1 2 3 1 EFFECT [ON] button Switches the effect between enabled and disabled. 2 Effect type list box Selects the effect type. You can choose one of the following four types. • Reverb Hall Reverb that simulates an expansive space such as a concert hall. • Reverb Stage Reverb that simulates a broad stage. • Karaoke Echo Mic echo designed for karaoke use. • Vocal Echo Vocal echo designed specifically for stage vocals.
EQ ❑ EQ The MRX provides two types of equalizer: GEQ and PEQ. When placing this in the design sheet, select either MONO or STEREO, and select the number of bands. Set these parameters according to the input/output and the appropriate number of bands. The illustrations used in the following explanation are for the case of STEREO. NOTE Uelecting a component that has a large number of bands will consume more of the MRX’s DSP resources. “GEQ” component editor Here you can make GEQ settings.
“GEQ” component editor 3 Bypass buttons Specify whether each band is bypassed. If you click a button to make it light, that band is bypassed. 4 Gain faders Adjust the output gain of each band. 5 [±15]/[±12]/[±6]/[–24] buttons Select the range of GEQ gain adjustment. When you click a button, the display of the gain faders and EQ curve will change to the range you select. 6 [FLAT] button Moves all gain faders to the 0 position. 7 [INPUT] meter Shows the input signal level.
“PEQ” component editor “PEQ” component editor Here you can make PEQ settings. When placing the PEQ in the design sheet, you can choose from 2, 3, 4, 6, or 8 bands. The illustrations shown here are for when 8 bands are selected. 1 2 3 4 5 7 6 8 1 EQ curve This shows the response as a graph. You can change the settings by dragging the points in the graph. 2 PEQ [ON] button Switches the PEQ function between enabled and disabled.
“PEQ” component editor 4 [B/W-Q] knob Specifies the width of each band’s frequency region. 5 [Freq] knob Adjusts the center frequency of each band. 6 [Gain] knob Specifies the gain in each band’s frequency region. 7 [FLAT] button Moves all [Gain] knobs to the 0 position. 8 [BYPASS] button Specifies whether each band is bypassed. If you click a button to make it light, that band is bypassed.
Fader ❑ Fader This adjusts the output level of each channel. Specify the number of channels when you place the component in the design sheet. Select this according to the number of channels whose level you want to adjust. The illustration used in the following explanation is for the case of eight channels. NOTE A component with a large number of channels occupies more DSP resources of the MRX. “Fader” component editor 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 Channel index Indicates the channel number.
Feedback Suppressor ❑ Feedback Suppressor The Feedback Suppressor (subsequently referred to as FBS) is a function that prevents the unpleasant acoustic feedback that occurs when sound from a speaker is picked up by a mic and re-amplified. In addition to being unpleasant, acoustic feedback places a strain on the speakers, and can damage them. To prevent such feedback, place the speakers so that their sound will not be picked up by the mic and amplified.
Performing FBS detection for the FIXED type 4 [Freq.] Displays the frequencies of the filters that were applied. Up to seven filters will be applied. DYNAMIC This method continually finds the changing feedback points while the MRX unit is in use, and updates the filter settings accordingly. This is effective for wireless mics whose location is not fixed, and which can be used in a variety of positions. 5 DYNAMIC [ON] button Enables or disables the DYNAMIC function.
“Pitch Shift FBS” component editor NOTE If you don’t notice any result, it may be that detection has failed. Click the [CLEAR] button to discard the detection result. If you want to make the settings once again, adjust the position of the mics and speakers, adjust the volume, and try the above procedure once again from step 1.
Filter ❑ Filter A filter allows a specific frequency region to pass and attenuates other frequency regions. The MRX provides three types of filter: BPF (band-pass filter), HPF (high-pass filter), and LPF (low-pass filter). Select either MONO or STEREO when you place this component in the design sheet.
