Setup Mode
31. SETUP MODE
Benefit:
setup mode allows the d-box
+
behavior to be programmed for the way you like to make music.
Operation: To enter setup mode press and hold the usb and aes/spdif setup buttons simultaneously in the ctrl room section- notice
they have the magic orange programming (brackets) around them. The switches will alternately blink green like lighters
during a 1980’s Sabbath show. Then you’ll alter whatever function you choose (listed throughout this manual). To exit
press either the
usb or aes/spdif buttons in the ctrl room section.
32. ANALOG INPUT +4dBu or -10dBV
Feature:
analog input may be set for +4dBu or -10dBV
Benefit: When plugging in an unbalanced, consumer level source like a headphone computer output, phone, DVD player, the level is
low (.773 volts vs. 1.23 volts), so set the input to -10dBV. For use with professional kit like converters, mixing consoles, etc,
set it to +4dBu. (This is the default status).
Operation: The d-box
+
factory defaults to +4dBu. To switch it to -10dBV, enter setup mode. (See setup mode section.) Then while still
in the ctrl room section press the (analog) button once. The LED will light up green. Now press either the usb or aes/spdif
setup buttons in the ctrl room section to exit setup mode. To return to +4dBu, simply repeat the process and turn off the
(analog) button LED. (Identical operation from the free remote app as well.)
Tip: , Inputs are dual combo jacks. Use either XLR, TRS or 1/4” unbalanced.
33. INDIVIDUAL MODE VS. ADDITIVE MODE FOR INPUT SOURCES SETUP
Feature:
individual mode allows you to choose between five (yes, 5!) different input sources for your headphones and 5 different
sources for your speakers. analog (“analogue” if you’re British), sum, bluetooth, usb and aes/spdif.
Benefit: Toggle between 5 input sources, one at a time. For example, switch from iTunes/Tidal via usb and your final mix via aes/
spdif and your client’s rough mix via bluetooth. (This is the default setup.)
Feature: additive mode allows you to select multiple input sources simultaneously.
Benefit: Select or deselect any combination of the headphone or speaker sources to audition more than one input together (analog,
sum, bluetooth, usb and aes/spdif). For example, trying to track your guitar riff and emulate the vibe from the demo? Play
the demo track on Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, SoundCloud... via usb while monitoring your guitar riffing being recorded by
your interface and back out through the sum section. Match up a feel from a loop your client’s dropped on you via bluetooth
while massaging the track around it real time in your favorite DAW through the usb input.
Operation: First enter setup mode. (See setup mode section.) Then in the section you would like to alter (either headphone or ctrl room)
press the (sum) button once. The LED will light up green. Now press either the usb or aes/spdif setup buttons in the ctrl
room section to exit setup mode. To return to individual mode, simply repeat the process and turn off the (sum) button LED.
(Identical operation from the free remote app as well.)
34. INDIVIDUAL MODE VS. ADDITIVE MODE FOR SPEAKERS SETUP
Feature:
individual mode select and audition one set of monitors at a time.
Benefit: Test your mixes on up to three sets of monitors and toggle between them for comparisons. (This is the default setup.)
Feature: additive mode select and audition multiple monitors simultaneously.
Benefit: Simultaneously feed your control room, lounge and live room (or any combination), to share the take or mix with the
