This system adds a digital processor in the signal chain between the mixer and amplifier for optimum performance from your
BlacklineX system. The Martin Audio DX0.5 is the best option and a Project file with Presets for the Blackline X range may be
uploaded and the preset indicated can be selected to run the system. A DX1.5 or DX2 may also be used or even a third party
processor, parameters to program these are available in spreadsheet form on the Loudspeaker Settings page on the Martin Audio
website.
As well as applying the recommended equalisation the processor adds a limiter in the final stage of processing to protect the
system from being damaged by being over‐driven.
The XLR feeds from the mixer go to the inputs of the DX0.5, the DX0.5 outputs shown should be connected to the amplifier inputs
with another short pair of XLR cables. Two Speakon NL2 or NL4 speaker cables connect the amplifier outputs to the speakers.
You will also need to choose the best match of amplifier for the speakers, see the chapter on amplifier selection.
