DMP801

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of a DMP801 Automatic
Mixer� The DMP801 provides a simple, effective way to
maintain your audio levels in live venues without having
to keep on your toes� A single DMP 801 offers eight-in,
one-out support and the entire unit can be controlled
remotely through standard potentiometers and remote
controls� Internal processing is accomplished through a
high quality 40-bit floating point processor, with internal
signal processors and matrix routing all handled with
ease�
Clear, easy-to-use software on your Windows computer
makes control of your onboard processing simple� The
software offers full performance monitoring for each
processor, giving real-time information on the load
placed upon DSPs�
We know how eager you are to get started – hooking
up your new DMP801 is probably your first priority
right now – but we would advise that you take the time
to look over this manual. Inside you'll find important
safety considerations and operating instructions that
could prove helpful� After reading the manual, we would
suggest putting it somewhere easy to find as you will
probably need to refer to it later on�

GETTING STARTED

For easy control of the DMP801, you will need to connect
the device to a network-enabled Windows computer� By
installing the Asystems software on a computer will allow
for remote control of this unit� Enter the DMP801's IP
address into the PC software to locate the DMP801 on
either the local area network�
Connect all necessary input and output devices� Input
can be achieved through correctly wired euroblock
connectors� Wiring for balanced euroblock connectors
should be as follows:
Pin 1: Shield/Ground
Pin 2: Cold (–)
Pin 3: Hot (+)
Whereas unbalanced connectors can be wired as so:
Pin 1: Shield/Ground
Pin 2: Link to Pin 1
Pin 3: Hot (+)
The 8 insert points for each of the channels accept ¼"
TRS phone jacks� These connectors are wired as follows:
Tip: Send
Ring: Receive
Sleeve: Shield/Ground

GLOSSARY

The following are a few words that may serve you
well while reading this manual� These aren't in depth
explanations, but should hopefully give you the basics
and a place to start�
Balanced Connections – balanced connections offer
three conductors, carrying a ground, an in-phase signal,
and an out-of-phase signal� Once the two signals are
sent from one device to another, the out-of-phase signal
has its phase inverted and the two signals are combined�
Any interference picked up along the way is removed
through to phase cancellation� This allows cables to be
run over long distances without collecting excessive
noise on the way�
Compressor – a Compressor reduces signals over a
user-defined threshold by a user-defined amount/ratio.
Dynamic Processor – is any kind of processor that
dynamically – or in real time – adjusts signal properties�
EQ – Equalizer – is a device or process that allows
users to boost or attenuate audio signals at specific
frequencies�
Euroblock – These types of inputs allow for self-wiring
of connections for permanent installations� Check the
"Getting Started" section for more information on wiring�
