  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 predefined timer scheduled moments or by pushing freely programmable buttons on a paging console. A very diverse range of external devices can be controlled using these relays. Some typical application examples are overruling manual 100 Volt volume controllers and activating emergency lights in case of emergency calls. Other options are switching on power amplifiers at predefined moments, powering-up displays or beamers together with the audio system, rolling and unrolling of automatic projection screens, turning lights on and off, … In fact, these relay outputs can be used for controlling and powering devices in a much wider application range than described above, as long as the voltage and current do not exceed the allowed limit of 1A / 30V DC or 0.3 A / 125V AC.

It contains the same equalizer and filter capabilities as the other inputs. Priority input The gain for the ‘Prio 1’ and ‘Prio 2’ priority inputs can only be adjusted manually and contains a preset for both Line and Microphone level signals. Moverover, a mute function- ality is provided.

• Page 29: Automatic Level Control (Alc)

  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 high- quality audio, even during gain changes. M2 ALC Settings ALC Settings To ensure proper functioning of the ALC in different sorts of conditions and with different types of signals, certain parameters can be adjusted in function of the applied signal. When the input signal is selected between Line or Mic level, presets will be loaded ensuring a proper functioning for most standard applications, adaptable to each specific application. The Target parameter specifies the target level of a signal before it is entered into the Matrix. Continuously, the signal matching the level specified by the target parameter will be attempted to adjust. The MaxGain parameter specifies the maximum gain adjustment which can be achieved between the input level and the target level. This can be used to prevent excessive noise or microphone feedback when for example a microphone is not being used. Note that this setting may prevent the ALC from reaching the target level, but this behavior is desirable to achieve the best overall sound. The Hold parameter specifies the ALC hold time during which no action will be taken when the output level falls below the target output level. This is used to prevent the gain from modulating on low frequencies which may cause distortion. For line signals it is recommended to specify a long hold time to prevent the ALC from adjusting the volume during quiet music passages.

• Page 30
  The Attack parameter specifies the reaction time in which the ALC starts attenuating after a sudden increase in input level above the target level. The attack time should be fast to avoid any distortion caused by clipping, but when the attack time is too fast, the ALC will overreact to very short peaks, causing audible distortion. Noise gate The noise gate will automatically mute the inputs when the level of the input signal is below a certain predefined level. This eleminates unwanted noise caused by an unused input on the outputs. The noise gate settings (Threshold level and noise gate type) can be made on the right side of the ALC settings window. The Threshold parameter specifies the level at which the noise gate will be enabled. When the level of the applied input signal is below the set threshold level, the noise gate will be enabled. This will cut off the signal, resulting in no noise on the outputs. To avoid unwanted noises (noise gate opening and closing rapidly) when the signal level is close to the threshold level, the M2 noise gate function uses a timeout period in combination with hysteresis. The operation modes for the noise gate are selectable between four presets which are Default, Digital mute, Analog fade and Analog fade + Digital mute. In Default mode, the gain remains at the current level when the noise gate enables. This prevents increasing background noise during periods of silence. There will be some noise present in the output signal, but compared to without noise gate, the noise level won’t increase untill the MaxGain level has been reached. In Digital mute mode, the output will mute instantly when the noise gate enables. This mode completely eleminates any background noise, although the effect of an abrupt mute may not sound pleasant to the ears. In Analog fade mode, the sound of the noise gate operation will be improved by fading the gain to a minimum value. After the fading, the gain will stay at the minimum value without muting completely. Still a minimum of background noise will exist in the output signal. This mode has the disadvantage that when the noise gate is being opened, the signal will fade-up during the set Decay time and won’t be present instantly. In Analog fade + Digital mute mode, the gain will fade to a minimum value (similar to the Analog fade mode) while after this fade interval, the digital mute is activated instantly.

  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 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. 3 Band Equalizer A three-band equalizer with a Q factor of 0.4 and center frequencies of 90 Hz for the LOW, 1.2 kHz for the MID and 12 kHz for the HIGH bands is standard enabled for the M2. The amplification and attenuation of each band can be adjusted within a range of +12 dB to -12 dB. At the bottom of the window, is a button “7 band EQ” provided. When pressed, a 7 band equalizer with adjustable frequency and Q-factor will emerge. M2 Three band equalizer 7 Band Equalizer The seven-band equalizer frequencies are infinitely adjustable within a range of 0 Hz to 20 kHz, while the Q-factor (bandwidth) is adjustable within a range of 0.1 to 15. The amplification or attenuation of each band can be adjusted within a range of +12 dB to -12 By adjusting the Q-factor and Frequency parameters of each band the part of the audio spectrum intended to be processed can be defined accurately.

• Page 32: Filters

  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 influence specific frequency ranges of the audio spectrum. The Frequency parameter indicates the center frequency of the filter. This is the central frequency between the upper and lower cutoff frequencies of the filter. Filters A digital filter can be applied to any of the inputs (Direct inputs & Line input). The filter can be enabled by clicking the desired filter type at the top of the window and is selectable between Low-Pass, High-Pass and Band-Pass. With a High-Pass filter, the frequencies below the crossover frequency will be supressed. With a Low-Pass filter, the frequencies above the crossover frequency will be supressed. And with a Band-Pass filter, the frequencies higher than the upper crossover point, and below the lower crossover point will be supressed. After the desired filter type is selected, the slide bars to adjust the crossover frequencies will be displayed. The crossover frequency can be adjusted by sliding the button on the slider scale to the left and the right. The frequency can be set between 10Hz and 22kHz, and the exact set crossover frequency is displayed on the right side of the slider scale.

  The Equalizer and Filter functions of the outputs are similar to the inputs. The equalizer is selectable between three and seven bands with adjustable center frequency and Q-factor, while the filter is selectable between Low-Pass, High-Pass and Band-Pass with variable frequencies. For more information about the Equalizer and filter configuration, refer to the Input configuration which has been described earlier in this manual. A Delay which can be adjusted in steps of 1 ms in a range between 0 ms to 2000 ms (2 s) can be enabled on all outputs of the M2. It can be adjusted by moving the corresponding fader up and down. The delay time is indicated in milliseconds on top of the fader and the audio transmission distance in meters is shown accordingly with the delay time. Using the Maximum Volume fader, the volume for each output can be limited at a certain level. The default value is set to 0 dB and can be adjusted by moving the corresponding fader up and down. When adjusted to a different (lower) value, the maximum output volume for this zone will be limited at the selected level. Quick Menu Settings The ‘Quick Menu Settings’ window allows you to make a selection out of all the available input signals for the ‘Quick Selection Menu’. This is the dropdown list menu which is displayed just below the zone name. It is convenient to add the 8 most common used and important scenes to the ‘Quick Selection Menu’.

  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. For 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. Output Linking The ‘Output Linking’ window offers the possibility to link several outputs, making the Input signals and / or the Volume for several outputs coupled with each other. The possibility exists to make a permanent linking or a linking under certain conditions. M2 Output Linking The output whereto the selected output should be linked can be selected using the first dropdown list. This list includes all the other outputs which are present on the device. Using the ‘Trigger’ dropdown list, the condition under which these outputs should be linked can be selected. When selecting ‘Fixed Linked’, the outputs will be permanently linked. Other selectable trigger conditions are the contact inputs (Prio contact 1 & 2 and Contacts 1 to 8). When selecting a contact input as linking condition, the output zones will be linked when a connection has been made between the selected trigger contact. The linking between the outputs will remain as long as the contact is established. The connection on the contact inputs can be done by a switch, relay or other switching device. Whether the input, the volume or both input and volume should be linked, can be selected using the selection buttons at the centre of the screen. When the inputs are linked, the signal of the ‘Slave’ output will follow when the signal of the ‘Master’ output has been changed. When the volume is linked, the volume of the ‘Slave’ output will follow when the volume of the ‘Master’ output has been adjusted. Using the ‘Volume offset’ fader, a fixed difference between the volume of the ‘Slave’ output relative to the volume of the ‘Master’ output can be set. This way, the volume of the ‘Slave’ zone will follow the volume of the ‘Master’ zone when changed, with a fixed difference between both volumes. (In case no maximum volume level is set).

• Page 36: Global Scenes Configuration

  In case the volume of the ‘Slave’ output should be higher than 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 than 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. Settings >> Global scenes configuration Besides the separate scenes making it possible to recall all mixing presets for one single output, there’s also the possibility to group multiple presets (for all outputs) into ‘Global Scenes’. Using the ‘Global Scenes’, Mixing presets for all outputs can be recalled by one single click or action. The M2 provides the possibility for creating up to 8 global scenes. Global scenes can be triggered by external signals such as one of the various contact inputs, at the presence of an audio signal on one of the many audio inputs, when manually triggered by a command or when selected in the dropdown list in the user interface. M2 Global scenes Configuration For each scene (Global Scene 1 to a selection tab is provided on the top of this window. Each tab contains 8 sections, one for every output, containing two dropdown lists (Input and Volume). Input Using the ‘Input’ dropdown list, the desired signal upon scene activation can be selected for the corresponding output. The standard value is set to ‘Don’t change’ meaning the signal for the corresponding output won’t change upon scene activation. In case ‘Off’ is selected, the output will be switched off. In case one of the audio inputs (Direct, Wall panel or Fiber) will be selected, the selected signal will be present at the output. The last 8 selectable options are the scenes, which are the mixing presets which can be individually defined for each separate output and can be recalled using ‘Global scenes’.

  DW5065 All-in-one wall panel Functions The DW5065 is the advanced All-in-one wall panel for the M2. This wall panel contains a graphic display and can control the routing, volume, bass, treble and mute for multiple zones (up to on one M2. Besides those control functions, it also provides the possibility to connect a microphone and a stereo line input source. The DW5065 wall panel should be connected to the M2 using UTP/FTP Cat6 (or better) cable. First read the PI connection principles in the beginning of this chapter before making any connections. The following functions of multiple zones of the M2 can be controlled: — Volume within a range of 0 dB to -70 dB — All inputs can be selected — Mute can be activated — Bass within a range of -9 dB to +9 dB — Treble within a range of -9 dB to +9 dB Configuration Before the DW5065 can operate it should be configured properly. First of all, an address needs to be assigned and the available inputs need to be defined. Follow these steps to configure: 1) Go to the ‘Setup’ menu and click ‘Peripheral configuration’. To configure the settings for the DW5065 wall panels, click the corresponding button. After this button is clicked, a window will be shown where all the configuration settings for the DW5065 can be made. On the left side, a dropdown list is shown which allows you to select the address for the DW5065. The address can be selected between ‘W001’ to ‘W008’. Addressvalue starts at one and is increased for every subsequent wall panel. After the desired address is selected, click the ‘Set Address’ button and the display on the DW5065 will start blinking. Confirm the address of the wall panel by pushing the big rotary button on the wall panel and the selected address will be assigned to the wall panel. 2) The outputs which should be controlled by the wall panel can be selected using the ‘Controlled outputs’ dropdown list. When selecting an output in this dropdown list, the output name will appear in the listbox below. The outputs can be removed again from this listbox by selecting them, and clicking the ‘Remove output’ button. 3) The inputs which are selectable with the wall panel can be chosen in the ‘Selectable inputs’ dropdown list. After the inputs are clicked, they will appear in the listbox shown below. They can be removed again from this listbox by selecting them, and clicking the ‘Remove Input’ button. Those selectable inputs are not linked with the ‘Quick selection menu’ like the inputs on the DW3020/4020.

• Page 59: Chapter 6: Paging

  Chapter 6 Paging 1 Function paging example The most basic paging setup example is an M2 with a APM101 paging console connected to it. In this case the announcements will be heard on one or more outputs, as defined in the paging configuration setup. One function paging example 8 Function paging example Another possible paging setup is an M2 with a APM108 paging console connected to it. The difference between the previous example is that the function for each button can be separately defined in the paging configuration setup. The APM108 paging console contains 8 zone selection buttons, which make it possible to make announcements to every output separately, or to multiple outputs simultaneously. The functions for each button can be defined using the paging configuration setup. Eight function paging example Priority Paging is always priority based. When multiple APM paging consoles are connected to one M2 system, and multiple APM’s want to make an announcement simultaneously, the priority settings will determine which message will be heard. The priority level is related to the address of each APM console, which is unique. The APM with the lowest address has the highest priority. This means, when two APM’s are connected and APM with address “002” is announcing a message, while at the same time APM with address “001” wants to announce a message, the message from APM “002” will be interrupted, and the message from APM “001” will be announced. For voice files and messages which are stored inside the APM memory, the priority works different. A priority number can be assigned to each stored message, making it possible to give emergency messages a higher priority.

  M2 Paging Volume APM configuration The paging settings are stored inside the APM’s internal memory. For configuration, the APM should be connected to one of the PI ports (PI 1 to PI of the M2, and the configuration should be done using the web based user interface. The paging configuration settings can be found in the ‘Setup’ menu under ‘Peripheral configuration’ and then click ‘Paging’. The setting for the configuration of the ARU’s are shown on the left side of the window, while the setting for the configuration of the APM’s are shown on the right side of the window. Follow the procedure below to make your paging system work properly. 1) Select the address which you want to assign to your paging console. Select the address using the dropdown list, and click the “Set Address” button. Now, the Push-To-Talk buttons on all connected APM’s will start to blink. After pushing the “PTT” (Push to talk) button, the address will be assigned to the selected APM. (For more information regarding the APM address, see the ‘Priority’ header described above) After this button has been pressed, the M2 will detect the paging console and the configuration settings for the paging console will be displayed. On the web-based interface, besides the ‘Change’ and ‘New configuration’ buttons, two dropdown lists will be shown whereby the volume for the Chime and Microphone can be set individually. This allows you to set the ratio between the volume of the Chime and the voice message. For example, in some circumstances it can be desirable to have a louder volume of the chime to catch the attention of the audience.

  M2 Paging console address assignment 2) Select the Priority, the number of layers and Enable / Disable chime. When a paging configuration should be made to a new installation, click the ‘New configuration’ button. In case a change should be made to an existing APM installation, click the ‘Change’ button. When clicking the ‘New configuration’ button, all default settings will be loaded, while when clicking the ‘Change’ button, all exisiting settings from the APM will be loaded, and changes can be made to the existing settings. The ‘General configuration’ window shows different dropdown lists on which settings can be made. The ‘Connection Information’ dropdown list indicates the address of the device where the paging console is connected to. In case only one device is used in the application, address ‘M001’ should always be selected in this field. In case multiple devices are linked using the fiber interconnection modules, the address for the corresponding device should be shown here. In the ‘Port’ dropdown list, the number of the corresponding PI port on which the paging console has been detected will be shown here. In the ‘Priority’ dropdown list, the priority level for the connected paging console can be set. As described before, the lower the address or priority number, the higher the priority. Priority number ‘1’ will always have highest priority while increasing numbers will have decreasing priority. In case an APM108 or APM116 is connected, the configuration of the buttons can be done in different layers. The number of layers can be selected by using the ‘Layers’ dropdown list. Using the ‘PTT Chime’ checkbox, the Chime which precedes the announced message can be Enabled or Disabled. In case the ‘PTT Chime’ checkbox is checked, the message will be played after playing the chime. In case this checkbox isn’t checked, the speakers’s announcement will immediately be heard upon pressing the Push-To-Talk button.

  Play message: Using the play message function, messages stored in the APM’s memory, such as emergency or commercial announcements can be announced. The stored messages are shown in the ‘Message’ dropdown list from which the desired message can be selected. The priority of the message is based on the priority number which can be set in the ‘Priority’ dropdown list, and is not related to the APM address. This way, high-priority emergency messages can be played with a low-priority APM. The lower the priority number is, the higher the priority of the related message. M2 Paging Play Message selection Pulse / Toggle Relay: Using the ‘Pulse Relay’ and ‘Toggle Relay’ functions, the internal relays of the M2 and / or external connected relay units (ARU) can be controlled. The toggle relay function will make the current relay swap state. When the current relay state is open, it will change to closed after toggle. When the current relay state is closed, it will change to open after toggle. The controllable relays should be added to the ‘Selected Relays’ listbox. Multiple relays can be simultaneously controlled by adding them to this listbox. The right side of the window contains two dropdown lists from which the controlled relays can be selected. The address of the device containing the relay should be selected in the first listbox, while the second listbox indicates the number of the relay to be controlled. In case the internal M2 output relays should be controlled, the corresponding M2 address (starting with ‘M’) should be selected. In case the relays from an external connected relay unit (ARU) should be controlled, the address of the ARU unit (starting with ‘S’) should be selected. The second listbox should be used to assign which specific relay of the device should be controlled. After the address assignment for the relay has been done, click the ‘Add’ button and the selected relay will appear in the listbox. Repeat this action for every relay which should be simultaneously controlled.

• Page 68: Chapter 7: Cascading

  Chapter 7 Cascading This chapter explains the fiber interconnection possibilities between several devices. It guides you through a setup process of a project with 5 devices cascaded with by means of the fiber interconnection interface. Principle The (optional) fiber interconnection interface (OPT2) makes it possible to transfer 8 stereo audio channels and one data channel over one single fiber optic conductor. The data channel is transmitted automatically and can’t be configured by the user. The 8 stereo audio channels which should be transferred over the fiber optic conductor can be configured by the user. The fiber interconnection interface works like a ring network. This means that every device has one fiber input and one fiber output. This ring must be closed in all cases and this can be done by connecting the output of the first device to the input of the second device. The output of the second device should be connected to the input of the third device, and so on. At the end, the output of the last device has to be connected to the input of the first device. This way the ring is closed and the network is completed. To control all the functions of all the devices in one network, only one connection with the ethernet network of one device in the ring network is required. When multiple devices are connected in a ring network, first a selection box will be displayed from which you can select the device you want to control. Each device can transfer multiple of his input channels through the fiber ring network. This can be any input of the device(Line input, PI audio input, Digital input, … ). The selection of which input signal should be transfered over the fiber ring network can be selected in the “Setup” menu, after selecting the “Fiber settings” window. Every signal which is received through the fiber ring network, can be used as a regular input just as all the other inputs, can be selected through the wall panels, and can be patched to any of the output zones. When a device transfers an audio signal over the fiber ring network, there is the possibility to transfer the signal to all devices in the same ring network, or to transfer the signal only to the next device in the ring network. If the signal is only needed for the next device in the ring network, the second device can use this channel to transfer another signal to the third device, and so on…

• Page 71: Setting Up The Project

  Setting up the project This chapter describes a step by step setup procedure which teaches you how to configure a setup with multiple devices as shown on the previous pages. NOTE Don’t make any ethernet or fiber connections until this point. The setup should be configured in the same sequence as described in this step by step guide. 1) Configuration of the Address The first thing which should be done is configuring the IP and bus addresses of all devices used in your setup. When devices are cascaded through fiber, the control can be done in two different ways: Method 1: Connect one device to Ethernet, and control the other devices in your setup through the same IP address. The data will be transferred between the devices over the fiber conductor. The advantage of this method is: Only one Ethernet connection is necessary. The disadvantage of this method is: you can only see the VU meters in the user interface of the device which is directly connected to the Ethernet network. (All other settings can be made, except the VU meter bar graph which is only visible for the directly connected device) To configure your system according to Method 1, proceed with the following procedure: 1) Connect the first device of your setup to your Ethernet network Set the address for the first device to “M001”, this can be done in the “Setup” menu, under “Address Settings”. Disconnect the first device of your setup from the Ethernet network 4) Connect the second device of your setup to your Ethernet network 5) Set the address for the second device to “M002”, this can be done in the “Setup” menu, under “Address Settings”. Disconnect the second device of your setup from the Ethernet network 7) Repeat this procedure for all devices in your setup, and assign an unique bus address to every device in your setup.

• Page 72
  Method 2: Connect all devices to Ethernet and control them by their own IP address. The advantage of this method is: you can see the VU meters of all connected devices. The disadvantage of this method is: every device needs his own Ethernet connection and IP address. To configure your system according to Method 2, proceed with the following procedure: 1) Connect the first device of your setup to your Ethernet network 2) Set the address of the first device to “M001”, this can be done in the “Setup” menu, under “Address Settings”. Change the IP address of the first device to one which is available in your Ethernet network (For example 192.168.0.191). This can be done in the “Setup” menu, under “Network Settings”. Disconnect the first device of your setup from the Ethernet network 5) Connect the second device of your setup to your Ethernet network 6) Set the address for the second device to “M002”, this can be done in the “Setup” menu, under “Address Settings”. Change the IP address of the second device to one which is available in your ethernet network (For example 192.168.0.192). This can be done in the “Setup” menu, under “Network Settings”. Make sure this IP address is different from the first device’s IP address. Disconnect the second device of your setup from the Ethernet network Give all the devices in your setup an unique bus and IP address. This can be done by repeating step 5 to 8 of this procedure. Make sure every device has a unique bus and IP address. 10) Now, all devices have a unique bus and IP address, and no device is connected to the Ethernet network. 11) Connect all devices to your Ethernet network 12) Connect the devices with each other through fiber conductors, using the loop principle as shown in Figure 1. 13) Restart all devices 14) All devices should display now “Fiber OK” on top of their main page, next to the connection status.

• Page 74: Chapter 8: Additional Information

  Chapter 8 Additional information IP Basics Many AUDAC products are controllable by Ethernet. The Ethernet connection which is used on the AUDAC products is TCP/IP based like 99% of the computer networks. There are some basics which you need to know to successfully make a TCP/IP Ethernet connection. The data in TCP/IP networks is always send in packages, all these packages must be delivered at a unique address, just like the mailman delivers mail at your home mailbox. In TCP/IP networks, this address is called the “IP address”. The IP address is always a number in the following format “192.168.000.001”. As you can see, this address consists of 4 separate numbers ranging from “000” to “255”. In simple terms, only the last number of an IP address can be different within a network, so there is a maximum of 256 unique addresses within a network, ranging from “xxx. xxx.xxx.000” to “xxx.xxx.xxx.255”. The first three numbers must be the same to make communication between several devices possible, otherwise the devices can not communicate with each other. Example: Device 1: IP address: 192.168.000.001 Device 2: IP address: 192.168.000.002 Device 3: IP address: 192.168.001.003 In this example, Device 1 can communicate with Device 2, but not with Device 3, because the first three numbers must be the same. These first three parts are called the “IP range”, so the devices must be in the same “IP range” to communicate with each other. The “IP range” of home and office networks are defined by the network administrator, this means that the IP range of your home or office network can be different from another network. AUDAC products have the following IP address as default: “192.168.0.xxx”, this means the standard IP range of AUDAC products is “192.168.000.xxx”. If your network is using a different IP range, the AUDAC products will not be accessible from your network. You can change the IP address of the AUDAC products to make them work properly in your network. This can be done in the settings menu, and is described extensively in the “Settings” chapter of this user manual.
