The green pair is reserved for data communications between M-8080D and remote device. Data communication is needed to send configuration information, software update and status information from M-8080D to remote device. Note: Configuration information of remote device (such LED illuminate status, microphone sensitivity, channel name, etc.) is stored in M-8080D, not in the remote devices.
4. FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTION PEAK SIGNAL POWER 1. LC-Display It displays device information. Such as name, firmware and ID. And communication status. M-8080D (V2.6II) &0100 a.

A0, B0, C0, D0, E0, and less than 81E0 ). M-800RC / M-800RCT: The device can only enter 4 digits (Only the penultimate second digit is 5, 6, 9, A, B, C, D, E. The penultimate digit is less than 9 and less than 81E9 ).

3. Generate Code When performing any function operation, press this button and the corresponding command will be displayed below the software. 4. Help Click the Help , a pop-up window will display the information of the current software.
7. SOFTWARE EDITOR 7.1. INPUT DSP CHANNEL 1. EXP/Gate: The gate attenuates signals below the threshold value, and allows signals above the threshold value to pass. When the signal is beyond the threshold, the output signal remains identical to the input signal. By adjusting the value of the ratio to its maximum, the Expander is transformed into a Noise Gate.
Page 16
5. EQ: High Pass Filter and Low Pass Filter: Those filters are used to eliminate non necessary frequencies above and below the signal spectrum, in order to avoid any background noise generation due to multi-processing. For instance, a voice microphone will be set to 100Hz for the High Pass and 4kHz for the Low Pass.
Attention: In case of M-800RCT, the individual name setting is not transmitted automatically to the device. Use the seperate Setting page of M-800RCT for setting individual names to be transmitted and indicated on M-800RCT. Function Example: Adjusting the high-pass filter to 32.7Hz. Type is adjusted to BW24. Drag EQ1 to 54.4Hz and adjust the Q value to 2.0.
IN(OUT) 01 to IN(OUT) 08 are analog I/O available on the rear panel. In(OUT) 09 to IN(OUT) 12 are digital I/O (RD ports) and are converted to analog signals. Attention: After the M-800RM is connected, the corresponding output is automatically turned off . The purpose is to avoid: no broadcast but also has output.
Function Example: Adjust the high-pass filter / EQ point to the corresponding parameter, which is the same as Input DSP. The waveform in the EQ diagram will also change accordingly. 7.4. DUCKER The principle of the Ducker is to attenuate one or several channels when priority signals are activated. The main applications are automatic speech for conference or priority messages.
2. Ducker Parameter Setting Threshold: threshold of attenuation. From 0dB to -80dB. Depth: depth of attenuation. Activation Time: Velocity of gain change to attenuate inputs. BYPASS: The signal is not processed and skips to the next processing module. Function Example: The current setting sets channel 1 to level 1, channel 2 to level 2, and channel 3 to level 3.

FBC (Feedback compression) function can effectively suppress howling expansion volume, ensure voice transmission quality, high fidelity, and clear sound. The dynamic filter and the static filter function the same. Used to remove devices above or below a certain frequency. To increase or decrease a range of frequencies in sound by passing them through. The differences between them are: 1.
Function Example: Turn on local input / output 1. The corresponding input signal is sent to the FBC module for processing, and the corresponding button is lit to output the signal after FBC processing to the corresponding output channel. Click "Static Filter Setting" to enter the static filter setting mode. Set the volume of all input channels to the required level and turn on the microphone.
Source Select Local Input: selection of input channels (1-12) to be processed. Activation Time Set the start mixing time of the signal of the selected input channel. Push ON to activate the time setting, and use the horizontal fader to set the time value. Function Example: Add the local input CH 1 and CH2 open setting to the automatic mixing function.

Function Example 1: Click Password Setting, enter the current password and the password you want to modify, click Confirm, the password will be successfully modified. Function Example 2: 1) According to the method described earlier, insert one end of the network cable into the GPI 1 port on the rear panel of the machine, and the other end is short-circuited.
8. REMOTE DEVICES M-8080D offers a large choice of devices for volume adjustment, paging management, routing and I/O modules. 8.1. M-800RM The M-800RM is a Paging Microphone and can address 1 to 12 different zones (outputs). Moreover, a total of 2 x M-800RM can be used in a system, which makes a lot of possibilities for message paging.
