3 Controls & Connection

3.1 Front Panel

1 2
1 – USB C
ONNECTOR
USB 1.1 port for connection to a PC running Windows XP, Vista or 7. With a connected PC you may run the IRIS-
Net Application. The Dx46 can be operated, edited and configured with an easy to use, intuitive interface. Any avail-
able firmware updates downloadable from www.electro-voice.com can be loaded via the USB port as well; allowing
for easy updates.
2 – INPUT L M
EVEL
The Dx46 does not itself have input level controls. Proper input level adjustment is accomplished by setting the out-
put level from the (L / R) bus outputs from the connected mixer (or other audio output device), as the vast majority
of today's mixer-outputs are dBu calibrated. When the mixer is operating at optimal levels, so is the Dx46. The input
meters monitor the input level of either analog or AES-EBU inputs, depending on the input mode selection set in
the Setup Menu. Optimal signal-to-noise performance is obtained when the nominal (average), input level consis-
tently lights the +6dBu (green) and +12dBu (Yellow) LED indicators. As the Dx46 is a digital audio device – and
digital clipping produces very unpleasant results, the Clip (red) LED should not light. If the Dx46's input does clip,
reduce the output level of the connected mixer. The -6dB PAD can be used for adjusting the input level also.
3 – LCD D
ISPLAY
The back-lit, 192 x 32 graphic LCD display allows for operation and editing of the Dx46 without the need for an
attached PC. The contrast can be set in the Setup Menu for varying lighting conditions and viewing angles. The LCD
display works in conjunction with Menu buttons, < SELECT > buttons and VALUE up/down buttons - to operate,
navigate and edit the Dx46's parameters. In Run mode, the LCD displays the number and name of the currently se-
lected factory or user preset. Pressing the Recall or Store buttons switches to their respective menus. Pressing the
Edit or Setup menu buttons switches the display to the last edited parameter.
In Edit and Setup mode, the top line of the LCD display shows the currently selected parameter edit screen. Use
the < SELECT > buttons to activate the top line of the display, and the VALUE up/down buttons to scroll through
available parameter edit screens.
4/5 – VALUE U /D

Depending on the current LCD screen, the VALUE up/down buttons performs the following function:
