To load a saved mix preset
1. Press the SETUP and SD-REC buttons together to access the PRESETS screen.
2. Rotate the SELECT/EDIT push encoder to scroll to the LOAD option.
3. Press the SELECT/EDIT push encoder. A prompt will appear that asks you to choose a storage slot from
which to load a mix preset.
4. Press one of the GROUPS 1-12 buttons to choose a storage slot. For storage slots that already contain a saved
mix preset, the matching GROUPS 1-12 button will be illuminated.
5. The system will then automatically take you back to the PRESETS page.
6. Press either SETUP or SD-REC individually to exit back to the top-level MIX A/MIX B METERS screen.
To reset mix parameters back to default settings
1. Press the SETUP and SD-REC buttons together to access the PRESETS screen.
2. Rotate the SELECT/EDIT push encoder to scroll to the RESET option.
3. Press the SELECT/EDIT push encoder. A prompt will appear that asks you to confirm your decision to reset.
4. Use the SELECT/EDIT push encoder to choose the YES option if you do indeed wish to reset and initialize.
5. The system will then automatically take you back to the PRESETS page.
6. Press either SETUP or SD-REC individually to exit back to the top-level MIX A/MIX B METERS screen.
NOTE: To control which parameters are protected from a Reset/Preset Load command, go to the PRESETS LOCK section on
pg. 2/2 of the PRESETS screen to choose your lock preferences from the following options:
PRESETS 2/2 screen
• •
LOCK ASSIGN (on/off) allows you to protect the input channel-to-Group assignments from any Reset or
Preset Load actions
• •
LOCK A (on/off) protects the MIX A processing (without the Group levels) from any Reset or Preset Open/Load actions
• •
LOCK B (on/off) protects the MIX B processing (without the Group levels) from any Reset or Preset Load actions
• •
LOCK GROUPS (on/off) protects the Group processing settings (e.g., equaliser, limiter, aux – including MIX levels) from
any Reset or Preset Load actions.
The RESET function will return DP48 to a default state, as follows:
• •
Internal Preset memory will not be cleared with Reset
• •
If any AES50 input signals are available to DP48, and you slowly turn up the VOLUME control, all AES50 signals should
become audible immediately, without further configuration
• •
All 48 input channels are spread over the 12 Groups (i.e., 4 channels per Group)
• •
Default Group channel panning is centered
• •
Default Group member level setting is 0 dB individual level
• •

Auto-Configuration of Channels and Groups
DP48's "ASSIGN BY" macro features automatic mapping of incoming AES50 channels to Groups. This mapping can be done
by using channel colour and channel name information, as set up by the FOH or monitor engineer at the mixing board.
NOTE: The SETUP/ASSIGN BY macros only map channels once, according to the AES50 channel colours/names at the time
the function is launched. The function does NOT automatically update, so if the engineer subsequently changes his setup,
you will need to re-launch the AutoConfig function to capture the new configuration to your DP48. You can also change the
automatic mappings manually at any time, if you are not satisfied with the results.
