10. Enter Button
The Enter Button allows you to dig deeper and deeper into menus and parameters, confirm operations and change settings.
11. ESC Button
The ESC Button allows you to retreat from selected variables. In some cases, it confirm operations and changes settings, as well.
These will be noted.
12. Utility Button
Press this button to select and update the DX0.5's utilities. There are three main utilities menus:
System Utilities
Preset Utilities
Security Utilities
Within each, an array of sub‐menus are available.
13. Mute / Edit Buttons
These eight buttons serve a dual purpose:
Muting selected inputs and outputs
Editing selected inputs and outputs
To mute an input or output, quickly press and release the desired button once to engage mute; quickly press and release it again
to un‐mute. Mute as you might expect toggles between muted and unmuted on the corresponding inputs and outputs.
To edit an input or output, press and hold the desired button until that input or output's blue LED [14] illuminates. Press and
hold again to take it out of edit mode. Edit allows you to edit – change – variables on the chosen inputs and outputs. While it is
not possible to edit the inputs AND outputs simultaneously, it is possible to link and edit the inputs simultaneously OR link and
edit any number of outputs simultaneously. Simply press and hold any additional input or output Mute / Edit buttons to link. Any
changed parameters will affect all linked inputs or outputs.
14. Edit LEDs
There are a total of eight Edit LEDs on the DX0.5: two input and six output. Edit LEDs illuminate blue when engaged. See Mute /
Edit Buttons [13].
15. Mute LEDs
There are a total of eight Mute LEDs on the DX0.5: two input and six output. Mute LEDs illuminate red when engaged. See Mute
/ Edit Buttons [13].
16. Meters
These seven‐segment meters display the input and output signal levels OR the gain reduction amount for each output's limiter,
depending on the selected VU Meter mode. Detailed information may be found on page 20 [VU Meter section].
These meters should remain green with the occasional peak into the yellow zone. If the level stays constantly in the yellow
section (or any red clipping), lower the level of the source until feeding the DX0.5 until the metering returns to occasional
excursions into the yellow. It may also be necessary to check the gain and EQ settings on the DX0.5 input and output channels.
Input meters (starting at the top) show:
Clip, +15 dBu, +9 dBu, +3 dBu, 0 dBu, –10 dBu and –20 dBu.
Output meters (starting at the top) show:
Limit, Clip, +15 dBu, +9 dBu, +3 dBu, 0 dBu and –15 dBu when in Level mode.
If the VU meter mode is Limit, the output meters show:
