Firmware Version – Indicates the microcontroller firmware version.
DSP Version – Indicates the DSP firmware version.
Input Clip – This illuminates red when the input clips.
DSP Online – This illuminates green when the DLC24 is powered
up and the DSP is functioning properly.
Out 3/Out 4 – Each output associated with the channel will be
shown with corresponding speaker type and passband.
Output Clip – This illuminates red when the output clips.
Peak Limit – This illuminates red when the peak limiter engages.
Power Limit –
This illuminates red when the power limiter engages.
Polarity – Indicates if the Polarity feature is enabled or disabled.
Input – Indicates which input was selected for that output.
Channel/Loudspeaker Status Information
A great deal of real time information is available from each channel/loudspeaker panel. To access
this data, double-click a channel/loudspeaker. A new panel will appear showing the current status of the
channel/loudspeaker. Clicking on any of the indicators or “Status” button the channel/loudspeaker panel will
bring up the status window. The information available on the channel/loudspeaker panel is outlined below:
Online – Illuminates green when DLC24 is online
Signal – Illuminates green when input signal is present.
Clip – Illuminates red when clipping is present.
Limit – Illuminates red when the limiter engages.
Flat – High pass filter. Enabled when depressed (red). High pass filter is not available for high fre-
quency outputs.
Polarity – Output signal polarity is inverted by 180 degrees when depressed (red).
Mute – Output signal mutes when depressed (red).
The information available on the “Status” window is outlined below:
Speakers
After launching ADAM, the software will automatically discover speakers on the network. Each speaker will be listed in
tree format by its ID # and speaker configuration description on the left hand side of the screen (“Speakers” section).
Double clicking on any speaker will bring up a panel to the right showing the general information of the speaker selected.
Do not adjust any parameters at this time. Wait until the system has been laid out in the software before proceeding with
any adjustments.
Note: Settings can be lost when moving speakers from the main tree to the appropriate room or array.
If more speakers are added to the network, go to the Tree pull down menu and select “Discover New Speakers” to make
them available. To add a speaker, go to the Tree pull down menu and select “New Speaker” and then give it a name.

Software
1. Outputs
Apogee speaker types are selected from the drag down menu next to each output. An AE5 has been
selected for Output 1 in the example shown. Since the AE5 is a bi-amped speaker it requires two
outputs. As a result, Output 2 has been automatically selected with Output 1 representing the high
frequency (HF) of the AE5 and Output 2 the low frequency (LF) of the AE5. An AESB has been selected for
both Output 3 and Output 4 in the example.
2. Polarity
Polarity may be enabled or disabled. When enabled, the Polarity Switch on the front panel of the DLC24
is active as is the Polarity box in ADAM. When disabled, neither the front panel switch on the DLC24
nor the Polarity box in ADAM are operable. When a subwoofer is selected, such as the AESB, “Enable”
is automatically selected, though it can be deselected. In the example, both AESB’s are enabled
whereas the AE5 is disabled. When bi-amped or tri-amped speakers are chosen, the polarity setting for all
associate
d outputs will change when the active button is changed.
3. Channel Membership
Channel Membership is selected on an individual speaker basis. When a speaker requires multiple
outputs, whatever channel is selected for the first output will automatically be selected for any additional
outputs reserved for that speaker. For example, with an AE5, if “Ch A” is selected for the high
frequency (HF), “Ch A” will automatically be selected for the low frequency (LF).
4. Input Selection
Input Selection is determined on an individual speaker basis. When a speaker requires multiple outputs,
whatever input is selected for the first output will automatically be selected for any additional outputs
reserved for that speaker. In addition, when “Ch A” is selected, “In 1” is automatically selected.
Same for “Ch B” and “In 2”. However, this auto selection can be overridden. Input 1 and Input 2
“(In 1 + In 2) / 2” can also be selected for an output, such as for subwoofers requiring a mono-summed
stereo input.

Displayed at the top of each channel status window is the channel description followed by the ID number of the controller
and the channel.
In the screenshot of the channel/loudspeaker panel, it reads “AE1A-222A” at the top. The “AE1A” was the channel
description given for Channel A, the “222” is the ID number of the controller, and the “A” at the end is the channel.
The loudspeaker status window has at the top of the window a description that shows the channel description followed
by the channel and the ID number of the controller.
The channel description can be renamed at anytime when in Designer Mode by highlighting it in the “Speakers” window
and right-clicking on it or clicking on Tree and then Rename.
