3 INTRODUCTION Congratulations on purchasing the innovative UX3600 digital signal processor (DSP) from Eastern Acoustic Works. While designed with the fundamental principles of close-coupled processing used since the first MX Series Processors in the 1980s, the UX3600 uses EAW’s latest advances in digital technology to provide optimum signal processing and management of EAW loudspeaker systems. 3.1 UX3600 Description The UX3600 is a 3-input, 6-output digital signal processor.

4 UX3600 INSTALLATION 4.1 Physical Installation CAUTION: The UX3600’s operating temperature range is 32 F to 104 F degrees / 0 C to 40 C degrees. The UX3600 may not function properly in temperatures below this range and may be damaged in temperatures above this range. 4.1.1 MOUNTING The UX3600 is designed to mount in a standard, 19 in equipment rack occupying one EIA rack space (1.75 in). When rack mounting, use screws with mating plastic washers to help protect the finish of the UX3600.
4.3 Audio Connections 4.3.1 SIGNAL CABLE Use a good quality, 2-conductor shielded cable for all audio input and output connections. 4.3.2 INPUT CONNECTIONS The three, female, XLR-type connectors labeled A through C are audio input connectors. Analog Pin-Out: XLR A to XLR C 1 SHIELD Electronically balanced, line level Pin 1: Shield OUTPUTS 4 5 3 6 2 Pin 2: + (plus or high) Pin 3: - (minus or low) 1 SIGNAL EARTH (CABLE SHIELD) 1 PUSH C OUTPUT CONNECTIONS 3- 2+ 2+ 3- PUSH A NALOG ANALOG 4.3.
5 OPERATION - INITIAL SETUP WARNING: A digital processor provides a wide range of signal processing parameters. The results of using incorrect or improper parameters with a loudspeaker can range from poor sound quality to damage to the loudspeaker. Be sure any settings you make do not cause the capabilities of the drivers in the loudspeaker system to be exceeded. 5.

MUTE MUTE MUTE MUTE When a channel is muted the top two segments of the corresponding meter will be illuminated. Mute settings are not saved with and therefore not recalled from Program files saved in the processor’s memories.
From the EQ menu press the right arrow key twice to step through the Parametric EQ In/Out selection field. The filter number will appear on the upper right corner of the LCD (1 through 10). Use the up and down arrows to set the Type, BW, Freq, Gain, and Flt for any given filter. To advance to another filter press and hold the right or left arrow key for at least 2 seconds. When finished press OK. 5.
5. If an Output Channel has already been configured you will be asked to reassign the selected Output to the selected leg. 6. Set the Amp Gain and Amp Volts RMS for the associated leg. 7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 for each additional Greybox leg. 8. Set the Listener Distance for the Greybox. 9. Set Delay applied to all legs of a Greybox. 10. Set Gain applied to all legs of a Greybox. 5.6.2 XOVER SETUP Use the Xover Setup submenu to select High and Low Pass Filters applied to Output Channels.
EAWPilot when connected to your UX by pressing the OK button to select Device from the Utilities submenu. Using the up and down arrow keys to select a character and the left and right arrow keys to step between characters give your UX3600 a name. Press OK to enter your selected name. Temperature: Temperature is used to calculate air loss pre-emphasis when setting listener distances in a Greybox.
6 LED INDICATORS 6.1 Input meters The input meters indicate the signal level in dB below 0 dBFS (0 dB Full Scale), the clip level of the ADC (analog to digital converter). An input meter still functions when its Input Channel is muted. Ideally, the highest levels of the signal should illuminate the -6 LED segment, but not the CLIP segment. Occasional flashing of the CLIP segment may be sonically acceptable.
8 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE 8.1 Maintenance The only routine and periodic maintenance for the processor is physical cleaning and performance testing. 8.1.1 CLEANING Clean the exterior surfaces of the chassis as required, using a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or dirt. Remove any dirt from the air intake holes on the side and top of the chassis. Remove any dirt accumulated on the ventilation fan grille.
9 TROUBLESHOOTING Troubleshooting a malfunctioning UX3600 consists primarily of determining if it is incorrect settings, faulty or incorrect connections, or an electronic failure requiring service. This table lists some possible trouble symptoms, causes, and corrective actions. Symptom Probable Cause Corrective Action No power light Power cord disconnected Ensure the power cord is properly connected. No power light Rear panel power switch is switched off Turn the power switch on.
