DX810 – 3 2. INTRODUCTION The DX810 is our popular DX8 stereo digital audio mixer with the DX10e Expansion Kit installed. This adds eight more balanced outputs and converts it into a powerful matrix mixer/processor . It is designed for use in a variety of installations such as churches, courtrooms, convention centers, and hotels.
DX810 – 4 FRONT P ANEL FEA TURES Note: The front panel controls only apply to the A and B outputs. Outputs C through J are controlled with the DX-10E-PC software interface. INPUT UP/DOWN BUTTONS Use these buttons to adjust the mix level for each input channel.
DX810 – 5 EQ LED DISPLA Y This display is disabled in the DX810 (it is for DX8 use only). MASTER A/B UP/DOWN BUTTONS These buttons adjust the output level for the A and B output buses. MASTER OUTPUT LED DISPLA Y This indicates the signal level after the digital signal processing and MASTER A and B gain stage, just prior to the D/A converter .
DX810 – 6 BUS A and B TRIM These rotary analog controls are used to trim the gain of the inputs to the A and B buses. This trim control provides from – 20 dB to +20 dB of gain, with unity (0 dB) at the center -detent position.

DX810 – 11 Applica tion s A: D X-810 Appli ca tion: C ourtr oo m S ys tem This example employs seven microphones connected to the MIC inputs of the DX810. All microphones in all examples can be any combination of dynamic and/or condensor microphones.
DX810 – 12 C onnectio ns C onnect ing Balanc ed Sourc es Use high-quality three-conductor cable for balanced connections, such as Star Quad by Belden, Canare, or Mogami, etc. The better the shield, the better the audio signal is protected from induced EMI and RFI.
DX810 – 13 C onnect ing t he L OGIC I/O This is a 25-pin D-Sub connector . There are 10 logic inputs and 10 logic outputs. They are all active-low circuits.
DX810 – 14 4. OPERA TION Set the Lev els MIC and LINE Input T ri m The analog trim controls on the rear panel are not adjustable via the control software. This is because these are in the analog domain, prior t o the A/D converters. T o adju st th e MIC and LINE TRIM controls: 1.
DX810 – 15 Bus A and B Inpu t T rim There is no metering after the BUS A and B input TRIM controls. These controls must be adjusted by ear . Start the program source playback for all sources connected to the BUS A or BUS B input. Slowly increase the TRIM control to the center position (12 o'clock), which is unity gain.
DX810 – 16 Using t he BUS A and B Input s These inputs provide a direct analog connection to the BUS A and B buses. These input points are post-DSP and post-D/A converter , and accept a balanced analog line-level signal. Use these to connect an additional program source to a zone, or to connect the Zone A and B outputs from another DX810.
DX810 – 17 unconnected or inactive, the logic voltage level is high (+5 V). The active state is defined as voltage low (0 V or ground). The logic functions assigned to each individual logic input and output are configured using the DX-10E-PC application.
DX810 – 18 5. D X-10E -P C SOFTW ARE (v 1.11) C onnecting a P C Use a standard DB9 (male/female) computer cable to connect a PC to the DX810. The DX-10E PC application uses COM1 on the PC by default. Y ou can select a different COM port by clicking on Advanc ed in the top menu bar and selecting C onfigure C OM P or ts.
DX810 – 19 Caution: T o adjust a fader , click on the fader knob to select it. If you click above or below the knob, it will jump to the point where you clicked. This is useful to move the fader quickly to where you want it to be. However , be careful not to inadvertently click above a fader knob.
