Getting started
There are two ways to set up your DX0.6. You can:
Use a desktop app running on a computer connected
▪
to your DX0.6. This allows you to access all of the
settings and is usually the easiest and best way to set
up your processor. You can also use this to control your
processor remotely.
Use the buttons and screen on your DX0.6. This allows
▪
you to do a quick update to your settings without the
need to connect a computer. You can access most but
not all of the settings.
You could use a combination of these
methods. For example, you could set
up the DX0.6 initially using the desktop
app. Then later you could update
settings using the buttons and screen on
the DX0.6.
Desktop app
The desktop app is a Windows app available as a free
download from the Martin Audio website.
We don't support macOS, but some
users have run this app successfully
on a virtual platform such as Parallels
Desktop, VMware Fusion or Apple Boot
Camp Assistant.
To set up your DX0.6 using this desktop app, you need
to install the app and connect your processor to your
computer.
To install the desktop app
1. Go to the
Martin Audio website
Software.
2. Select and download the DX0.4 and DX0.6 Control
Software.
3. Follow the instructions bundled with the software.

Connecting your processor and
computer
There are four ways of connecting your processor to your
computer:
▪
▪
▪
▪
and select Support >
USB. Use a USB cable to connect the USB-B port on
the front panel of your processor and a USB port on
your computer.
You can only connect one processor
at a time with USB.
Ethernet direct. Use a network cable to connect the
Ethernet socket on the back panel of your processor
directly with the Ethernet socket on your computer.
You can only connect one processor
at a time with a direct Ethernet
connection.
Ethernet network. Use a network cable to connect the
Ethernet socket on the back panel on your unit to the
same Ethernet network as your computer.
You can set up and control as
many processors as you like with an
Ethernet network.
RS-485. Use an RS-485 cable to connect the RS-485
socket on the back panel of your unit and your
computer. Very few PCs have an RS-485 socket, so
you will almost certainly need an RS-485 RJ45 to USB
adaptor. These are readily available and inexpensive.
RS-485 networks are highly robust and the cable runs
between devices can be up to 1,200 meters. If you
have several units, you can daisy chain them using the
two RS-485 ports on the back panel of each unit.
You can set up and control up to 32
processors with RS-485.
