Installation: Connecting to the RS-232 Port Connecting to the RS-232 Port Connect to the RS-232 port using the 9-pin serial data cable (included in the shipping box). Orient the DB-9 plug correctly, insert the plug fully into the RS-232 port and finger-tighten the retaining screws. The cable length should be 25 feet or less. “Null-modem” type cables will NOT work. Connection to the computer is required only while loading the presets into the DSP-30 or for “real-time” adjustments to a configurat

Installation: System Requirements and Software Installation The DSP-30 relies on the Signal Manager software for its DSP signal chains or configurations. You must use the supplied software to design your configurations and then load those configurations into the DSP-30 using a simple RS-232 connection. The DSP-30, as shipped from the factory, is configured to pass audio signals from input to output unaffected for all 8 presets. Use the software’s Help System for instructions on how to use the Si

Use: Saving Presets Using QSC’s Signal Manager software Presets The DSP-30 must be loaded with your desired presets using the Signal Manager program before use. Test all new presets for expected behavior at low power levels to avoid inadvertently damaging speaker systems. The DSP-30 has eight Preset memories numbered 1 through 8. Presets are DSP configurations saved to memory in the DSP. Only one preset may be active at one time. The possible configurations of the presets are essentially limitl
