- Page 6 1) Prior to connecting to a laptop computer, it is necessary to establish an IP Address on the UX8800 so that it is recognized within the EAWPilot software. 2) Entering into the “Utilities” menu on the UX8800 and then “IP Address” will give you access to the feature.
- Page 7 4) Now you will be able to enter in an address manually. The first three sets of digits must all match what you enter into the EAWPilot software and UX8800 processor(s). Use the number sequences 192 . 168 . 0 in these cells.
- Page 8 Now that the computer and hence EAWPilot has a static IP Address, the address for the UX8800 or multiple UX8800’s must be configured. 1) From the EAWPilot homepage, select “Tools” and then “Communications”. This opens up the “Dialog” menu within Pilot.
- Page 9 The computer is now set to communicate with a Network Hub and obtain IP addresses through the hub automatically. Now that the computer is set to receive IP Addresses automatically, we must configure the EAWPilot software to do the same 1) From the EAWPilot homepage, select “Tools”...
- Page 10 The “Device Library” page is a listing of all supported hardware within the Pilot software. These “virtual devices” can be used for building settings off-line and downloading to connected units later. The button marked “online” brings EAWPilot online to any connected units. This will initiate the polling process as the software searches for connected devices.
- Page 11 By highlighting a unit in the design column and then selecting the “identify” button, you can visually match the hardware to the software as the output buttons on the physical UX8800 will scroll left and right. Other U-Net capable devices may show this in a different manner. Linking UX8800’s If so desired, an entire UX8800 may be linked to another.

- Page 13 The Map Page Double-clicking on any unit listed in the “Design” column will open its associated Map Page The UX8800 and Pilot communication is duplexing meaning that changes made via computer update the unit immediately while changes made on the unit will update the software immediately.
- Page 14 The Map Page The “Map” page of the Pilot software gives the user an overview of the UX8800’s setup. While double- clicking on most of the boxes in the map screen will take the user to an associated page, there are a couple of functional buttons and menus directly on the map page.
- Page 15 Parameters that are linked will turn tan in color as an indicator to the operator that changes made to one channel will also be applied to the other. All 4 input channels of the UX8800 may be linked if desired or any portions of the input channels. Copy –...

- Page 17 Any of the 4 input channel tabs can be accessed either by double-clicking within their respective Map areas or by selecting the channel via the tabs at the top of the page.
- Page 18 By default, the Pilot software will launch a completely open processor allowing the user to enter in his own parameters. Since we are choosing to use EAW factory presets, we must load a preset into the software and UX8800, starting with one of the processors empty output channels..
- Page 19 The selected greybox file (in this case a KF740 x 6) is loaded into the software Before the greybox can be considered “optimized”, there are a few parameters to adjust. “Attributes” describes the greybox that you have selected (not adjustable) Title Of Greybox Focus Level (not all greyboxes are Focused.
- Page 20 The legs must now be assigned to outputs on the UX8800. Use the dropdown menu to select from outputs 1-8 (note: as an output is used up, it will disappear from the output dropdown menu) Note: Even though the legs for the greybox are listed, they do not necessarily have to be used.
- Page 21 “Clear Dialog” button. If the user wishes to take advantage of the “Cardioid” feature contained in EAW Pilot, simply load one subwoofer greybox and use the + (plus) button to add another and fill in the cells to configure the...
- Page 22 4. LF EQ Compensation – EAW’s technique for creating a cardioid does so at all frequencies but also creates a 6 dB per octave roll off in the extreme low end below the center frequency. This selection box applies a +4dB compensation EQ to make up for this loss.
- Page 23 Once a greybox is installed, equalization for the channel is done on its input processor tab (A,B,C,D). EAWPilot allows two different methods for setting equalizers. The user may elect to manually type in all of the EQ parameters or use the associated spinners to set parameters. Alternately, you may also use the drag and drop method within the graphical display to set EQ points.
- Page 24 EQ Points (10 available + LPF and HPF) Select Filter to modify or click on a square within the Display area. Select Filter Type by using dropdown menu Adjust the Frequency of the Filter (20Hz – 20000Hz) Adjust The Gain Of The Filter (+/- 15dB) Adjust the Width of the Filter using Q or BW (adjusted under tools menu)
- Page 25 Alter the name of the input channel here If desired, the input source(s) can be changed here by using the dropdown menus The polarity of the channel can be inverted by clicking on this button. Drag And Drop Adjustment From any of the greyboxes output tabs, left click and drag the slash mark to alter the high pass filter. Note: Once the HPF has been dragged, the software will automatically switch the slope from a 12dB Butterworth to a 24dB Linkwitz-Riley.
- Page 26 On the input tab for the greybox, left clicking and dragging the squares will implement the available 10 parametric EQ’s. Left click and drag the small yellow dots flanking the EQ and move left or right to adjust the Q of the filter.
- Page 27 Bypass the selected filter by clicking the “Bypass Filter” button. Bypass ALL EQ’s by clicking on the “Bypass Channel EQ” button. The entire EQ set can be returned to flat with a couple of simple clicks. First click on the “Flatten Channel EQ” button The software will warn you that you are about to lose all of your equalization for that channel.

I/O Configuration Page The I/O Config page is designed to allow the user to easily access input as well as U-Net assignments for the UX8800. It is also the place to enter in names for both the input and output channels of the UX. Using the dropdown boxes, select up to 2 sources for each input of the UX8800. - Page 29 Input and Output names can be changed on the I/O Page by clicking in their respective title boxes.
