Hardware Preset
The hardware preset menu can be found under the View pull-down.
The hardware preset allows the user to save the system’s settings
so that they can be loaded via a non-Apogee device. Hardware
presets, unlike software snapshots, are saved directly to the
DLC24’s hardware memory.
Snapshots
Gain, Delay, and EQ settings for a Room, Array, Subarray, or
Speaker are saved via Snapshots. Snapshots can be particularly
helpful for saving and recalling settings for different scenarios.
Snapshots are saved directly in the ADAM Software.

Network Control and Monitoring from Non-Apogee Software and Devices
If controlling the loudspeakers from a non-Apogee device or checking the system using Hyperterminal instead of
Apogee software, use the following parameters:
Baudrate 38400 • 8-bit • No parity • 1 stop-bit • No hardware handshaking
In ASCII setup:
Set Echo local character • Append linefeed to received data
When the unit is powered on, a line with this ID number, versions, and the name assigned to the loudspeaker should
be received. Each unit has a unique ID number. This will be used when communicating with that unit. In hyperterminal,
type the ID number followed by the character command and then press enter. The appropriate data will be returned or
action taken. Below is a partial list of commands that need to be preceded by the ID# of the unit and followed by the
Enter key. After the alpha command, “1” refers to Channel A and “2” refers to Channel B.
“ID#”VE<Enter> - Provides the firmware version number.
“ID#”SV2<Enter> - Returns the current volume (-6 dB) in multiples of 0.5 dB steps for “Ch B”.
“ID#”SV1,-6<Enter> - Sets the volume to -3 dB for “Ch A”. This is 6 steps.
“ID#”GM<Enter> - Returns the speaker model.
“ID#”SD2<Enter> - Returns the current speaker delay for “Ch B”.
“ID#”SD1,10<Enter> - Sets the delay to 10 ms for “Ch A”.
“ID#”MU1<Enter> - Returns if “Ch A” is muted.
“ID#”MU2,0<Enter> - Unmutes the output(s) for “Ch B”.
Check the Apogee web site (
www.apogee-sound.com )
for a complete list of commands.
Resets
The ADAM software includes several levels of resets. Each reset
will return the settings of the entire system, room, array, or subarray,
depending on which reset is chosen, back to “0”.
Global Reset - Resets an entire system’s settings back to “0”.
Room Reset - Resets an entire room’s settings back to “0” including everything within the room (arrays, subarrays,
and speakers).
Array Reset - Resets an entire array’s settings back to “0” including everything within the array (subarrays and speakers).
Subarray Reset - Resets an entire subarray’s settings back to “0” including everything within the subarray (speakers).
Factory Default - Resets the speaker’s settings back to “0”.
Note: If there are higher level settings associated with any of the above resets, those settings will
still be maintained.

Operation
Signal Ground Switch
This switch “lifts” or “floats” the DLC24’s power supply ground from
chassis ground. Placing the switch in the “lift” position may help to
minimize system hum or buzz caused by ground loops. Refer to Proper
Grounding & Elimination of Ground Loops (page 8) for more information.
Control Selector Switch
When this switch is set to “Front”, the DLC24’s front panel controls are
active and any associated software controls are inhibited. When the Control
Selector Switch is set to “Remote”, the software controls are active and the
DLC24’s front panel controls are inhibited.
Input Selector Switch
This switch determines whether the DLC24’s signal inputs will accept
analog or digital signals. If the switch is set to digital, only the “IN 1”
connector will be active. Refer to Input Signal Connection (page 7) for
more information.
Reset Button
This recessed button offers both a soft and hard reset. If pressed in for
one second, it will reset the controller without changing any settings.
If pressed in and held for 3 seconds or more, it will reset the controller
to factory defaults (all EQ, all Gain, and all Delays will be reset to “0”).
Input Pin 1 Shield Switch
This switch “lifts” or “floats” the Pin 1 shield connection from chassis
ground on both signal input XLR connectors. Place the switch in the “lift”
position in order to minimize system hum or buzz caused by ground
loops. Refer to
Proper Grounding & Elimination of Ground Loops (page 8)
for more information.
