10 PDX3000 Quick Start Guide 11
1. Introduction
1.1 Welcome
Thank you for choosing a Lab.gruppen PDX Series product. This manual provides a comprehensive guide to the features and functionality of PDX Series model
PDX3000 and PDX2000 ampli ers. We highly recommend you read through this manual in its entirety to become fully acquainted with con guration options and
protection circuitry. As you become thoroughly familiar with all aspects of operation, you may learn of features or options that will a ect your choices on ampli er
modes or loudspeaker system con guration.
Lab.gruppen PDX Series power ampli ers are designed and built with competitive price and good performance and protection features in mind. Although the PDX
Series features a competitive price, each ampli er draws on the engineering that has made Lab.gruppen the benchmark of quality for touring concert systems:
exceptional sonic performance, rugged construction, proven reliability, and protection features that anticipate every unwelcome possibility – that is the core of the
“Show must go on” design philosophy that every Lab.gruppen product is created with, with a well matched feature set per product range depending on the expected
application. This manual was created for the PDX Series 3000 and 2000 ampli er models. Any references to “PDX Series” in this manual refer to all models in the range.
1.2 Features
Your new PDX Series ampli er incorporates a number of sophisticated technologies – many of them proprietary to Lab.gruppen – that ensure the best
possible performance and years of reliable operation. Familiarizing yourself with these technologies will prove invaluable in setting up and optimizing your
loudspeaker system.
1.3 Class D output stage
All PDX Series ampli ers employ our unique IDEEA Class D output stage that is ideally matched to the rated power output. To provide exibility, each channel o ers
su cient voltage swing and current capacity to drive loads in any impedance without any additional con guration. In order to have low thermal losses as well as a
high voltage swing, the design is based on a permanently bridged output.
1.4 Protection and performance optimization
Appropriate and reliable power ampli cation is vital to any audio system. Inadequate or faulty power ampli ers could cause damage to loudspeakers, or in some cases
to the power ampli ers themselves. To prevent damage or service interruptions, PDX Series ampli ers o er advanced features to protect both internal circuits and
connected loads. These features are part of the Lab.gruppen philosophy “Show must go on”.
Standard on the PDX Series protection features include:
• CPL (Current Peak Limiter) ensures that the ampli er’s output does not exceed the safe current handling parameters of the ampli er components.
• Temperature protection ensures that the ampli er will not be damaged by exceeding thermal limits. The RDY LED ashes orange when the ampli er approaches
thermal limits to allow user action before protective muting engages.
• DC protection ensures destructive DC signals will not appear at the ampli er outputs. If such conditions occur an internal fuse opens.
• RSL (Rail Sensing Limiter) is applied to avoid distortion at the selected voltage limit threshold and to avoid hitting the rail if it has sagged below the con gured
threshold. Limiting also may be applied when maximum output current has been reached or when the mains voltage is too low to maintain required rail voltage.
Limiting activity is shown by the front panel Limiter LED
1.5 DSP features and PDX controller software
PDX series feature a comprehensive DSP functions such as crossover, parametric EQ, delay, limiter, dynamic EQ and input mixing, making the PDX series suitable for
a broad range of installed and touring applications. The PDX series can be controlled through the usage of front panel or PDX Controller software by connecting to a
PC with USB.
1.6 Unpacking and visual checks
Every Lab.gruppen ampli er is carefully tested and inspected before leaving the factory and should arrive in perfect condition. If any damage is discovered,
please notify the shipping carrier immediately.
Save the packing materials for the carrier’s inspection and for any future shipping.
1.7 Cooling
The PDX Series devices use a forced-air cooling system with front to rear air ow, allowing high continuous power levels without thermal problems.
Please ensure that there is su cient space in the front and rear of each ampli er to allow free ow of air, no doors or covers should be mounted either in the front or
rear of the ampli ers.
Ampli ers may be stacked directly on top of each other with no spacing, though some spacing may enable more convenient installation of rear cabling.
Fit solid blanks (not ventilation blanks) to unused rack spaces to ensure e ective air circulation. Leaving gaps in between items of equipment degrades the
e ectiveness of forced-air cooling.
1.8 Operating voltage
Always connect your PDX ampli er to the voltage speci ed on the rear of the device. Connecting the amp to an incorrect voltage can permanently damage your amp.
• USA / Canada / Japan = 100-120 V~, 50/60 Hz
• UK / Australia / Europe / Korea / China 220-240 V~, 50/60 Hz
The locking IEC receptacle on the rear panel accepts the supplied IEC cord which terminates in a connector appropriate for the country of sale.

18 PDX3000 Quick Start Guide 19
4.4 PROCESS screens
Pressing the PROCESS button opens up the various screens that determine the signal path setup and that control processing parameters for the DSP modules: I/O, PEQ,
XOVER, DEQ, DELAY, and LIMIT.
You can move between top-level module screens by pressing the PROCESS button.
4.4.1 I/O
The I/O module sets up the signal routing inside the DSP from input to output. Press and rotate the SELECT encoder knob to choose between dual mono, stereo,
or bi-amped options.
DUAL
DUAL (dual mono) mode routes each channel input, A and B, through completely separate parallel signal paths with independent outputs for each channel.
Each channel may be processed with its own unique lter, equalization, signal delay, and limiter settings.
STEREO
STEREO mode routes the signal from both the A and B inputs through a single series of DSP modules. The parallel DSP modules process the A and B signals with
identical, linked settings (only module “A” parameter settings appear on subsequent DSP module screens).
BIAMP1
BIAMP1 mode splits the Channel A input signal at a programmable frequency point, and then routes the resulting high and low frequency signals through a parallel
chain of DSP modules with independent equalization, signal delay, and limiter settings. In BIAMP1 mode, Output A routes low frequencies to a low-range speaker,
while Output B connects to a high-frequency transducer.
BIAMP2
BIAMP2 mode operates identically to BIAMP1 mode, except that the output signals are swapped between Outputs A and B (i.e., Output B handles low frequencies
while Output A handles high frequencies). The swapped A and B output routing allows the user to quickly correct reversed high/low speaker connections without
having to physically access the ampli er’s back panel and manually change the speaker connection.
4.4.2 PEQ
The PEQ module deploys up to eight EQ bands for precise sound sculpting. The EQ bands can each be switched between low shelving, high shelving, and parametric
modes. For the high shelving and low shelving EQ bands, the LS12 and HS12 settings provide steeper equalization curves than the LS6 and HS6 settings.
The main PEQ screen displays the composite equalization curve across the frequency spectrum.
Programming equalizers
1. Choose individual equalizers by rotating the SELECT encoder knob. As you rotate the SELECT encoder knob, dotted vertical lines will appear at different points
within the frequency spectrum, and the EQ band name will appear in the lower-left corner of the screen (e.g., A#1, A#2, B#1, B#2, and so on).
2. Press the SELECT encoder knob to enter the parameter screens for your chosen EQ band.
3. Press the UP / DOWN arrow keys to switch between parameters. The chosen parameter will appear highlighted.
4. Rotate the SELECT encoder knob to change parameter values.
5. Choose the equalizer type (Type): OFF, PEQ (parametric), low shelving (LS6, LS12), or high shelving (HS6, HS12).
6. Set the frequency (Freq) for each EQ band by rotating the SELECT encoder knob. The programmed frequency can represent either the center frequency for parametric
mode, or the cutoff frequency for low and high shelving modes.
7. Set the EQ band’s cut or boost (Gain) by rotating the SELECT encoder knob.
8. For parametric mode, control the width of the parametric curve by tweaking the Q parameter. High Q values produce a narrow, steep curve, while low Q values
create a wide curve with a gentle slope.
9. Press the SELECT encoder knob or the EXIT button to return to the top-level PEQ screen.
4.4.3 XOVER
The XOVER module o ers programmable pairs of high- and low-pass lters. STEREO mode o ers only one lter set (A#1). DUAL, BIAMP1, and BIAMP2 modes use two
lter sets (A#1 and B#1), and in BIAMP1 and BIAMP2 modes, these two sets of lters may be linked.
On the top-level screen, vertical dotted lines indicate the threshold point for each lter.
Each low-pass and high-pass lter also o ers multiple options for lter type and slope: OFF, Butterworth (BUT6, BUT12, BUT18, BUT24, BUT48), Bessel (BES12, BES24),
or Linkwitz-Riley (LR12, LR24, LR48).
Programming filters/bi-amping crossover
1. Choose between filter sets A#1 and B#1 by rotating the SELECT encoder knob (DUAL, BIAMP1, and BIAMP2 modes only).
2. Press the SELECT encoder knob to enter the parameter screens.
3. Move up or down between parameters by pressing the UP / DOWN arrow buttons.
4. Choose between filter types for high-pass (HPtype) and low-pass (LPtype) by rotating the SELECT encoder knob.
5. Set the filter thresholds for high-pass (HPfreq) and low-pass (LPfreq) by rotating the SELECT encoder knob.
20 PDX3000 Quick Start Guide 21
4.4.5 DELAY
The DELAY DSP module digitally slows the nal signal output from the ampli er by a programmable amount (expressed as either distance or time). This signal delay helps
prevent phase and synchronization problems caused by sound traveling through air over long distances, e.g., between speaker arrays separated by long distances or between
a performance stage and distant sound reinforcement speakers.
Programming signal delay
1. Choose between signal paths (A#1, B#1) by rotating the SELECT encoder knob.
2. Press the SELECT encoder knob to enter the parameter screens.
3. Move up or down between parameters by pressing the UP / DOWN arrow buttons.
4. Choose between 0° and 180° phase (PHASE) by rotating the SELECT encoder knob.
5. Choose your amount of signal delay (Delay) by rotating the SELECT encoder button.
6. Fine tune the Delay value using the (fine) parameter.
7. Change the delay’s unit of measure (Unit), if necessary, by rotating the SELECT encoder knob. The delay value can be expressed in milliseconds (ms), meters (m),
or feet (ft).
8. Press the SELECT encoder when finished to return to the top-level DELAY screen.
4.4.6 LIMIT
The LIMIT DSP module controls the unit’s output limiter, with programmable parameters for threshold (Thresh), release (Rtime), and hold (Hold).
The top-level LIMIT screen always displays the threshold (Thresh) setting for quick reference.
Programming the output limiter
1. Choose between signal paths (A#1, B#1) by rotating the SELECT encoder knob.
2. Press the SELECT encoder knob to enter the parameter screens.
3. Move up or down between parameters by pressing the UP / DOWN arrow buttons.
4. Choose a threshold (Thres) setting by rotating the SELECT encoder knob.
5. Choose a release time (Rtime) by rotating the SELECT encoder knob.
6. Choose a hold (Hold) setting by rotating the SELECT encoder knob.
7. Press the SELECT encoder when finished to return to the top-level LIMIT screen.
6. Set the filter’s overall signal gain (Gain) by rotating the SELECT encoder knob.
7. Set the link parameter (LinkAB) to ON or OFF by rotating the SELECT encoder knob (BIAMP1 and BIAMP2 modes only).
8. Press the SELECT encoder when finished to return to the top-level XOVER screen.
4.4.4 DEQ
The DEQ module deploys a dynamic EQ that is triggered by a programmable signal thresold. For example, you can program the dynamic EQ to cut or boost increasing
amounts of mid frequencies as the signal gets louder beyond your preferred threshold.
STEREO mode features one set of dynamic EQs (A#1 and A#2), while DUAL, BIAMP1, and BIAMP2 modes feature two sets of dynamic EQs (A#1, A#2, B#1, and B#2). Each
dynamic EQ may be set to OFF, band-pass (BP), low-pass (LP6, LP12), and high-pass (HP6, HP12).
Programming dynamic EQs
1. Choose between dynamic EQ sets by rotating the SELECT encoder knob.
2. Press the SELECT encoder knob to enter the parameter screens.
3. Move up or down between parameters by pressing the UP / DOWN arrow buttons.
4. Choose between EQ types (Type) by rotating the SELECT encoder knob.
5. Set the frequency (Freq) for each EQ by rotating the SELECT encoder knob. The programmed frequency can represent either the center frequency for band-pass
mode, or the threshold frequency for low- and high-pass modes.
6. For band-pass mode, control the width of the band-pass curve by tweaking the Q parameter. High Q values produce a narrow, steep curve, while low Q values
create a wide curve with a gentle slope.
7. Set the dynamic equalizer’s cut or boost (Gain) by rotating the SELECT encoder knob.
8. Set the signal threshold (Thresh) by rotating the SELECT encoder knob.
9. Program your desired ratio (Ratio). Similar to a compressor, higher ratio values yield a more intense equalization effect.
10. Adjust attack (Atime) and release (Rtime) to your preferred values.
11. Press the SELECT encoder when finished to return to the top-level DEQ screen.

5.3.1 Setup
The Setup tab allows you to manage connections and settings for your PDX amps. Amp presets may be stored either on the PDX DSP or on the PC (presets stored on
your PC may then be loaded onto any PDX ampli er).
PC Presets
The PC Presets section allows you to store PDX DSP presets on your computer instead of the PDX amp’s internal memory. The Load function allows you to upload
presets from the computer, while the Save function stores the current PDX DSP settings to the computer (these les use a .pdx l e n a m e e x t e n s i o n ) .
5. PDX Controller Software
The PDX Controller software allows the user to control all PDX DSP settings remotely from a computer via the USB connection located on the PDX rear panel.
5.1 Meters
Monitor input and output levels by using the virtual meters on the right hand side of the control software screen. Adjust input levels using the knobs on the ampli er’s
front panel.
5.1.1 Input/Output Meters
The input meters show the signal level at the CH A and CH B inputs. If the input signal exceeds the 0 dB level, the red Clip indicator will light over the channel
experiencing an overload.
The input level can only be controlled by using the CH A and CH B knobs on the front panel of the PDX ampli er. The PDX Controller software does not control
the input level.
5.2 Connection Status
The software displays the connection status in the top header of the main software window.
When the amp/software connection is active, the window heading displays the name of the ampli er.
24 PDX3000 Quick Start Guide 25
Connecting to an amplifier
◊ ◊ this procedure assumes you already have an PDX amplifier connected to your computer, and that you are switching to another PDX amplifer. Usually,
the PDX Controller software will automatically detect a USB-connected PDX amp and then ask if you wish to connect to the detected amplifer.
1. Click on the Connect button near the bottom of the Amp Connection section of the Setup tab. The software will disconnect from the current amplifer, clear the
amplifier from the list in the Amp Connection section, and clear all presets from the Amp Presets list.
2. Press the Refresh button near the top of the Amp Connection section, above and to the left of the amplifier list window. When the software finds your newly-
connected PDX amp, the amplifier will appear in the amplifier list window, and the amp’s internal presets will populate the Amp Presets list. The software will
also launch a confirmation window asking if you wish to connect to the detected amplifier.
3. Press the Connect button in the confirmation window to finalize the connection.
Renaming an amplifier
1. Type the new amplifier name directly into the text box to the left of the Rename Amp virtual button near the bottom of the Amp Connection section.
2. Click on the Rename Amp virtual button. The new amplifier name will appear in the Amp Name column of the amplifier list.
Locking the amplifier
1. Type a 4-character lock code of your choosing directly into the Lock Code window near the bottom of the Amp Connection section. The Lock function requires a
new lock code every time you lock the amplifier.
2. Click on the Lock virtual button at the bottom right of the Amp Connection section. The Lock virtual button will turn red to indicate the amplifier front panel has
been locked.
3. Clear the 4-character code from the Lock Code window if you desire extra security.
Unlocking the amplifier
1. Type the amplifier’s 4-character lock code into the Lock Code window near the bottom of the Amp Connection section.
2. Click on the Unlock virtual button located directly to the right of the Lock Code text box. The Unlock virtual button will light up blue to indicate the amplifier is
unlocked, while the Lock button will change colors from red to gray. The characters in the Lock Code text box will disappear and be replaced by asterisks.
5.3.2 Configuration
The Con guration tab displays two main sets of software controls:
• • Mode—controls the amplifier configuration. Choose between Dual Mono, Stereo, Bi-Amp 1, and Bi-Amp2 configurations. Each configuration’s complete signal
path appears in the display window, including the arrangement of internal DSP modules and speaker outputs.
• • Delay/Peak Limiter—controls settings for the Delay and Limit DSP modules, as well as options for channel phase, Load settings (in Ohms) for the limiter
wattage display, Hold and Release for the Limiter, and channel linking. The number of Delay/Peak Limiter controls change depending on the amplifier
Mode configuration.
Amp Presets
The Amp Presets section allows you to access and manage presets stored in the PDX amp’s internal memory. The amp’s internal memory holds up to 20 presets, and
these 20 preset slots appear in the Amp Presets section as a numbered, double-column list showing the preset name and the preset’s signal routing con guration
(DUAL, STEREO, BIAMP1, and so on). The preset currently in use will display an illuminated dot immediately to the preset’s left.
Note: Preset #1:INIT_DATA cannot be overwritten. Select this preset any time you want to restore the amp’s default settings.
Recalling a preset stored in the amp’s internal memory
1. Click on the desired preset in the Amp Presets list. The dot to the immediate left of the selected preset will light up.
2. Click on the Recall button in the upper left of the Amp Presets section. The selected preset’s name will appear in the text box next to the Recall button. All settings
contained in the preset will automatically deploy.
Saving a preset to the amp’s internal memory
1. Select a destination for the preset by clicking on a slot in the preset list. (If you save your preset to a slot already holding a stored preset, the stored preset will be
replaced by your new preset.)
2. Type your new preset’s name into the text box to the right of the Recall button.
3. Click on the Store button to store your preset in the selected slot in the preset list. Your new preset’s name will appear in the selected slot in the preset list.
Amp Connection
The Amp Connection section tells you which PDX ampli er you have connected to the software, as well as options for naming your PDX amp and for setting up a code
to lock the ampli er’s front panel and prevent tampering (the amp can still be edited from your laptop using the PDX Controller software).
For the current edition of the PDX Controller software, only one PDX ampli er can appear at any one time in the ampli er list and be recognized by the software.
26 PDX3000 Quick Start Guide 27
Delay/Peak Limiter
Channel Link
In Dual Mono, Bi-Amp 1, and Bi-Amp 2 modes, the Channel Link virtual button will appear just above the Delay and Peak Limiter controls. When you click on the
Channel Link virtual button, the button will light up, and the Delay and Peak Limiter controls for both channels will display identical values.
Delay
The Delay function digitally slows the nal signal output from the ampli er by a programmable amount (expressed as either distance or time). This signal delay helps prevent
phase and synchronization problems caused by sound traveling through air over long distances, e.g., between speaker arrays separated by long distances or between a
performance stage and distant sound reinforcement speakers.
The Delay controls also simultaneously display the amount of signal delay in milliseconds (ms), meters (m), and feet (ft), which can be useful if you already know the
precise distance between speakers.
Programming signal delay
1. Program the signal delay by using either of these two methods:
a) Rotate the Delay virtual knob clockwise until you achieve a suitable amount of signal delay. The ms, m, and ft text boxes will each display equivalent values as you
rotate the virtual knob.
b) Type a delay value directly into one of the text boxes below the Delay virtual knob (ms, m, or ft, depending on your preference). The Delay virtual knob will rotate
to a position matching the delay value you have entered.
2. Choose between 0° and 180° phase either by clicking on the Phase virtual button or by clicking directly on 0° or 180° directly below the virtual button. When the
Phase virtual button is engaged, the virtual button will light blue and the indicator next to 180° will light up.
Peak Limiter
The Peak Limiter helps protect your speakers by preventing signal spikes at the ampli er’s output stage.
The Peak Limiter controls include a dedicated virtual knob with matching numerical displays in dBFS (decibels relative to full scale), Vp (Voltage(peak)), as well as a
rating in Watts, which appears only when you choose an Ohm setting from the Load pulldown menu.
The PDX Controller software also allows you to see the ampli er’s total output as a rating in Watts. This Watt rating allows you to connect speakers with lower power
ratings and then adjust the limiter to match the speakers’ maximum Watt rating.
Note: the PDX Controller software does not automatically detect or show the total speaker load connected to the ampli er.
Controls for Hold and Release times appear near the bottom of the window, each with a matching numerical display.
Programming the output limiter
1. Program the output limiter by using either of these two methods:
a) Rotate the Peak Limiter virtual knob counter-clockwise until you find an adequate limiter setting for your sound system. The dBFS (decibels relative to full scale)
and Vp (Voltage [peak]) text boxes will each display equivalent values as you rotate the virtual knob.
b) Type a limiter value directly into one of the text boxes below the Peak Limiter virtual knob (dBFS or Vp). The Peak Limiter virtual knob will rotate to a position
matching the delay value you have entered.
2. Choose a Load value from the Load pulldown menu (none, 2, 4, 8, or 16 Ohms) that matches the total combined load of all speakers connected to the amplifier’s
outputs. If your combined speaker load in Ohms does not exactly match 2, 4, 8, or 16 Ohms, choose the next lower Ohm setting from the Load pulldown menu.
When you select a Load setting, an additional Watt rating for the limiter will appear above the Load pulldown menu.
3. Choose a Hold value either by rotating the Hold virtual knob or by entering a value (in milliseconds) into the matching text box below the knob.
4. Choose a Release value either by rotating the Release virtual knob or by entering a value (in milliseconds) into the matching text box below the knob.
Mode
Changing amplifier mode
The ampli er mode can be changed by clicking on the button for your desired routing option along the left-hand side of the window. When you click on a mode
button, the software will launch a con rmation window. Click “Yes” in the con rmation window to launch the new ampli er mode, and the new signal path will
appear in the display.
Mode descriptions
Dual Mono
Dual Mono mode routes each channel input, A and B, through completely separate parallel signal paths with independent outputs for each channel. Each channel may
be processed with its own unique lter, equalization, delay, and limiter settings. The Delay and Limit modules for A and B can be linked and programmed with
identical settings by clicking on the Channel Link button below the Mode window.
Stereo
Stereo mode routes the signal from both the A and B inputs through a single series of DSP modules. Each DSP module processes both the A and B signals with identical,
linked settings. The linked Delay and Limit parameters can be controlled from Stereo mode’s consolidated Channel A+B control window (which displays automatically
when Stereo mode is selected).
Bi-Amp 1
Bi-Amp 1 mode splits the Channel A input signal in the XOver DSP module at a programmable frequency point, and then routes the resulting high and low frequency
signals through a parallel chain of DSP modules with independent equalization, delay, and limiter settings. The Delay and Limit modules for the split high and low
frequency signals can be linked and programmed with identical settings by clicking on the Channel Link button below the Mode window. In Bi-Amp 1 mode, Output A
routes low frequencies to a low-range speaker, while Output B connects to a high-frequency transducer.
Bi-Amp 2
Bi-Amp 2 mode operates identically to Bi-Amp 1 mode, except that the signals are swapped between Outputs A and B (i.e., Output B handles low frequencies while
Output A handles high frequencies). The swapped A and B output routing allows the user to quickly correct reversed high/low speaker connections without having to
physically access the ampli er’s back panel and manually change the speaker connection.
28 PDX3000 Quick Start Guide 29
Filter/Crossover Control View
The Control View of the Filter/Crossover tab contains virtual knob controls for Gain, High Pass lter, and Low Pass lter. Exact parameter values appear in boxes below
each virtual knob. These parameters may be altered by either adjusting the virtual knobs or by entering values directly in the parameter boxes.
Pull-down menus contain lter options for Type (Butterworth, Bessel, Linkwitz-Riley) and Slope (6–48 dB/Octave).
X-Over option for bi-amping
In Bi-Amp 1 and Bi-Amp 2 modes, the X-Over button appears on the Filter/Crossover tab. Activating the X-Over button links the Low Pass 2 and High Pass 3 lter
controls and automatically creates a synchronized crossover point for bi-amped low frequency and high frequency signals.
Setting a linked crossover frequency
1. Activate the Bi-Amp 1 or Bi-Amp 2 settings on the Configuration tab.
2. Click on the Filter/Crossover tab.
3. Click on the X-Over button on the Filter/Crossover tab. The X-Over button will light up and overlapping filter curves will appear in the Frequency Curve.

6. Applications
Refer to the application documentation available for download at labgruppen.com.
6.1 Bi-amping
Bi-amping splits a mono signal into upper and lower frequency bands, and then assigns each frequency band to separate speaker cabinets or separate drivers
within a cabinet. A subwoofer typically takes the low frequency range. By splitting the signal this way, the speakers work more e ciently, and you can achieve a
cleaner overall sound.
Setting up hardware for bi-amping
1. Run a 4-pole speaker cable with professional twist-locking connectors from OUTPUT CH A to the subwoofer (the subwoofer receives its low-frequency signal from
Channel B using poles 2+ and 2-, while the middle and upper frequency ranges use Channel A via poles 1+ and 1-).
2. Set the subwoofer into BIAMPING mode.
3. Run a 2-pole speaker cable with professional twist-locking connectors from the subwoofer to the other speaker.
Programming DSP parameters for bi-amping using the front panel
1. Choose the BIAMP2 setting on the Amp Mode screen.
2. Go to the XOVER screen using the UP/DOWN buttons to set appropriate high/low crossover frequencies.
3. In Channel A#1, choose your high-pass filter type (HPtype: BUT6, BUT12, BES12, etc.) and set the cutoff frequency (HPfreq) to approximately 100 Hz. Deactivate
the low-pass filter (LPtype: OFF) on this channel and set the gain level (Gain) to suit your system.
4. In Channel B#1, choose your low-pass filter type (LPtype: BUT6, BUT12, BES12, etc.) and set the cutoff frequency (LPfreq) to approximately 100 Hz. Deactivate the
high-pass filter (HPtype: OFF) on this channel and set the gain level (Gain) to suit your system.
Programming PDX Controller Software for bi-amping
1. Select the Configuration tab.
2. Choose the BIAMP2 signal path in the Configuration tab. A confirmation window will pop up.
3. Click “Yes” on the Amp Mode confirmation window.
4. Select the Filter/Crossover tab.
5. Select the X-Over button below the Frequency Curve display. A confirmation window will up up asking if you wish to set a Default Crossover.
6. Click “Yes” in the confirmation window. The X-Over button will illuminate, and default crossover settings will appear in the Frequency Curve and Control View.
7. Choose a filter type from either the Low Pass 2 or High Pass 3 Type pulldown menus (the software defaults to a Butterworth filter). Any changes to the Low Pass 2
or High Pass 3 settings will also automatically appear in both filter’s Control View settings.
8. Choose a filter slope setting from the Slope pulldown menu under either Low Pass 2 or High Pass 3 (the software defaults to a Butterworth filter). Again, matching
parameters will automatically appear in both filter’s Control View settings.
9. Set the crossover frequency by using any of these three methods:
a) Rotate the Low Pass 2 or High Pass 3 virtual Freq knobs in the Control View. The crossover frequency displayed in the Freq box below the virtual knob will change
simultaneously for both filters.
b) Select the text box below either Freq virtual knob, and type your desired frequency directly into the text box.
c) Go to the Frequency Curve display, click on the frequency line marked “2,” and drag the frequency line to the desired area of the Frequency Curve. Parameter
settings and virtual knobs in the Control View will automatically move and change as you drag the crossover frequency through the Frequency Curve window.
10. If necessary, adjust the Gain settings for Channel A and Channel B by rotating the respective Gain virtual knobs.
Dynamic EQ Control View
The Control View of the Dynamic EQ tab contains virtual knob controls for Gain, Threshold, Frequency, Q (bandpass lter only). Exact parameter values appear in boxes
below each virtual knob. These parameters may be altered by either adjusting the virtual knobs or by entering values directly in the parameter boxes.
Pull-down Type menus for each dynamic EQ band contain these additional options:
• • BP (bandpass filter)
• • LP6 (lo-pass filter, with a 6 dB/Octave slope)
• • LP12 (lo-pass filter, with a 12 dB/Octave slope)
• • HP6 (hi-pass filter, with a 6 dB/Octave slope)
• • HP12 (hi-pass filter, with a 12 dB/Octave slope)
The Ratio pulldown menu o ers four options:
• • 1:2.0
• • 1:3.0
• • 1:5.0
• • 1:10
Gain vs. Ratio
Positive gain settings result in a frequency boost at low signal levels and a nearly at EQ response at high levels. Negative gain settings yield opposite results: at low
signal levels, the EQ response is nearly at, while higher signal levels receive increasing amounts of cut from the equalizer. The higher the Ratio setting, the more the
equalizer will cut or boost the signal at di erent signal levels.
Programming a dynamic EQ
1. Choose an EQ type from the Type pulldown menu.
2. Set the dynamic EQ’s band frequency by rotating the Frequency virtual knob. The programmed frequency can represent either the center frequency for band-pass
(BP) mode, or the threshold frequency for low- (LP) and high-pass modes (HP).
3. For band-pass BP mode, control the width of the band-pass curve by rotating the Quality virtual knob parameter. High Qual values produce a narrow, steep curve,
while low Qual values create a wide curve with a gentle slope.
4. Set the dynamic EQ’s band cut or boost by rotating the Gain virtual knob.
5. Set the signal threshold by rotating the Threshold knob.
6. Program your desired ratio by selecting from the Ratio pulldown menu. Similar to a compressor, higher ratio values yield a more intense equalization effect.
7. Adjust the attack (Attack) and release (Release) values by rotating each parameters respective virtual knob.
