2. Add Device Introduction Click "Scan", the system will automatically search for all online devices and appear in the matrix system list. Click the desired matrix system, and select "Yes" in the pop-up window to connect to this system. Refresh: Refresh the current online status of the device. Note: The device information shows the information for the highlighted device.
7. DANTE INPUT CONFIGURE Configuration is only required if the Dante module M-800DT is installed and the "System with Dante module" mode is selected. Click "Dante Input Config" page to enter the configuration. 1. Dante Receivers: All online Dante devices are displayed below. 2.
8. SOFTWARE EDITOR Click "Device Config" page to enter the configuration. 8.1. INPUT DSP CHANNEL On the "DSP channel" page, click the input channel name to enter the corresponding input channel DSP settings. 12 11 1. EXP/Gate: The gate attenuates signals below the threshold value, and allows signals above the threshold value to pass.
Page 18
7. Bypass: The signal is not processed and skips to the next processing module. 8. Flat: All parameters are reset to the factory settings. 9. Comp: A compressor can limit the dynamics of a signal beyond a certain level. When the signal exceeds the Threshold it is compressed in a ratio greater than 1.
8.2. OUTPUT DSP CHANNEL On the "DSP channel" page, click the output channel name to enter the corresponding output channel DSP settings. Same menu as the Input DSP Channel ,without the Expander/Gate section. The parametric EQ features 8 bands here, instead of 5 bands for the inputs. Please refer to the introduction of Input DSP Channel. Function Example: Adjust the high-pass filter / EQ point to the corresponding parameter, which is the same as Input DSP.
8.3. MATRIX This part of the software is used to route inputs through a graphical representation as a matrix. By clicking on the gray boxes several inputs can be assigned to several outputs. If the connection is active the box turns green, otherwise it remains gray.
8.4. 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. E.g. use the host microphone signal to control the background music volume. The host automatically reduces the background music volume when speaking.
8.5. FBC (FEEDBACK COMPRESSION) 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 have the same function. They remove unwanted components or features from a signal in a certain frequency range.
Page 23
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.
8.6. AUTO MIXER The Auto mixer automatically controls the gains of multiple microphones in real time, dramatically reducing feedback, noise and comb-filtering from adjacent microphones. It maintains a consistent system gain, even when multiple speakers are talking simultaneously, and makes perfectly matched crossfades, without any signal compression.
8.7. SAVE / LOAD / COPY This menu is used to manage the backup parameters. These data can be stored directly in the internal memory of host as a preset. Its memory contains a total of 16 presets. 1. Import All Preset: Import all preset types from device to computer file. 2.
Page 26
Function Example 1: Save current preset to device 1) Select Device and click Save button. 2) Enter the preset name in the pop-up window. 3) Click Submit button to save the preset. Note: The preset list is saved separately and are not included in the system saving. Function Example 2: Select the input channel IN01 to copy to CH03.
8.8. SYSTEM 1. Relay Control: Either IN01-IN08 or Paging (M-800RM) can be selected. When there is a broadcast signal on the selected channel, the corresponding relay terminal on the rear panel of the M-8080D will make contact and can be used to control the start-up/shutdown of external devices. 2.

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. 2) The GPI 1 port on the PC software lights up to indicate that this function is enabled. 3) According to the set input priority and the selected IN01.
9. REMOTE DEVICES M-8080D offers a large choice of devices for volume adjustment, paging management, routing and IN/OUT modules. 9.1. M-800RM The M-800RM is a paging microphone and can address 1 to 12 different zones (outputs). A total of 2 x M-800RM can be used in a stand-alone system and a maximum of 32 x M-800RM in a Dante system, which makes a lot of possibilities for message paging.
