Bad Sound; Factory Reset - Martin Audio DX0.5 User Manual

DX0.5

Are the level controls set the same for both sides on the mixer, amplifier and processor?

Are the gain settings the same for all left‐right pairs of inputs and outputs on the processor?

Are the EQ settings the same for all left‐right pairs of inputs and outputs on the processor?

Are the limiter settings the same for all left‐right pairs of outputs on the processor?

Check the pan control on the signal source. It may be turned too far to one side. If you're using a stereo signal source,
it may be delivering an out‐of‐balance stereo signal.

Try switching sides: Turn off the amp, swap the speaker cables at the amp and turn the amp back on. If the same side
is still louder, the problem is with your speaker cabling or the loudspeakers. If the other side is louder now, the
problem is with the mixer, the amp, or the line‐level cabling.
Bad Sound

Are the input and output connectors plugged completely into the sockets? Make sure they are plugged all the way in.

Is it loud and distorted? Reduce the signal level at the mixer, amplifier and/or processor.

If possible, listen to the signal source with headphones plugged into the preamp stage. If it sounds bad there, it's not
the fault of the processor.

Have you gone a tad overboard with the gain and EQ settings? Cut and boost should be used modestly, if extreme
amounts of cut and boost are required there is something wrong elsewhere.
Factory Reset:
As a last ditch effort, you can reset the DX0.5 to its factory settings.
Please keep in mind that this erases all settings, including any passwords and presets that may have been set. Be sure to power
down any amps and/or powered speakers before resetting the DX0.5.
Simply press and hold the Enter [10], ESC [11] and Utility [12] buttons when powering up until the LCD Display [6] shows:
Then you may take your fingers off the buttons. You will know it worked when the six output Mute LEDs [15] illuminate after the
DX0.5 is fully powered up.
The default password is six zeroes: 000000
