  • Page 2: System And Software Requirements

    EtherNet® port - the faster the computer, the better. The software control screen for the 1026 will operate in a “off-line” mode without a 1026 actually being attached (this is not true of other AudioNet+ products such as the 884+). If a 1026 is attached, the software will query the unit and display its actual settings.

  • Page 3: Section I: Hardware Overview

    Getting Started Default Settings: The standard 1026 is preset at the factory so that all ten inputs are assigned to all out- puts via both buses. All inputs are software set for microphone input levels. The Phantom Power is turned off.

  • Page 4: Channel Inputs

    The HUP45-32 universal power supply is used with the 1026 and provides a broad mains voltage oper- ating range: 100 to 240 VAC, 47 - 63 Hz. Successful powering of the 1026 can be verified by the lighting of the power indicator LED. When first powered on, the 1026 initiates a self test which checks a number of their operating parameters to verify proper performance.

  • Page 5: Connecting A Condenser Microphone

    Connecting a Balanced Line Level to a Channel Input Line level inputs are connected to the 1026 via the Euro connectors located on the rear of the units. If the shield is to be connected to the input of the unit, it must be connected to the ground terminal. If the shield is connected at the piece of equipment sending the signal, it should not be connected at the 1026.

  • Page 6: Master Outputs

    Connecting a Master Output to a Balanced Line Level Input The output of the 1026 should be connected to the next piece of equipment in the audio signal chain via a two-conductor, shielded cable. Care should be taken to make sure the shield is connected at only one end of the cable.

  • Page 7: Channel Direct Outputs

    Connecting a Master Output to an Unbalanced Line Level Input The output of the 1026 should be connected to the next piece of equipment in the signal chain with a two-conductor, shielded cable. Care should be taken to make sure that the shield is connected only at the mixer end of the cable.

  • Page 8: Level Controls

    Level Controls There are sixteen level controls on the 1026, ten for the channel inputs and six for the master outputs. All level controls function alike. There are three level functions associated with each control: Level, Range, and Trim (Gain Trim).
  • Page 9 Trim (Preamp Gain Trim) Trim is a very powerful, software based feature of the 1026. It allows the setting of the maximum level, or gain, in a particular channel. The maximum gain through the channel can be limited, so as to prevent feedback from occurring when a channel Level control is turned all the way up.
  • Page 10 (The RM-1 and RM-2 up/down push button controls look like pots, not up/down buttons, to the 1026.) All power required by the remotes is supplied by the 1026. The RMT (remote) voltage supplied by the 1026 is current limited and must be used only for the remotes.
  • Page 11 “Remote Pot” control enabled. The RM-1 and RM-2 have on-board micro- processors, so they must be fed power from the 1026 as well as be connected to the remote control ports. They have up/down buttons and an LED bar graph to provide visual indication of level. They are themselves programmable for maximum level, minimum level, and “wake up,”...
  • Page 12 Several can be paralleled together for remote level control capabil- ity from more than one location. In order for the RB-1 to function, the 1026 must have its software “Remote Button” control enabled. The 1026 provides the necessary logic for RB-1’s to track each other in room combining applications.
  • Page 13 While there are sixteen presets for the mixer section and sixteen presets for the DSP section of the 1026 (all of which can all be activated or deactivated via the 1026 software), there are only eight hard- ware connections on the rear panel of the 1026 for activating presets. This means that there are only eight preset combinations which can be activated by an external contact closure.
  • Page 14 30 VDC. Figure 13, below, shows an LED connected to the Function Output. The Remote+ terminal on the rear of the 1026 has a built-in power supply voltage for use with LEDs and remote controls. It must not be used for any other purpose than LEDs and remote controls. Figure 13, fol-...
  • Page 15 Audio Gnd terminal and the Ground terminals on the first unit. This separate wire runs all the way from each unit back to the first 1026, which is very important. Do not daisy chain from one Audio Gnd terminal to another and then to the first 1026.

  • Page 16: Section Ii: 1026 Software And Programming Getting Started

    On the rear panel of the 1026 is a standard RJ45 connector. Since the 1026 is a standard EtherNet® device, connection from a computer to the RJ45 EtherNet® port on the back of the 1026 is done in the same way one would connect any EtherNet® device to a computer. A direct, CAT 5 cable connection from the EtherNet®...
  • Page 17 EtherNet® products. Use of the 485MON32 program when programming is very beneficial and highly recommended. Starting the 1026 Software with a Unit Connected to the Network Successful connection of a 1026 to the network is indicated by the green LED on the front panel of the Page 16...
  • Page 18 Network Information Screen. The window on the right will show any 1026 units that are found on the network. The window on the left will show any 1026 units on the network that are "IP compatible" with your computer's network setup. If a mixer is identified in the right-hand window, but not in the left-hand window, it is not currently network-address compatible, and therefore, cannot be controlled with your computer's network settings.
  • Page 19 Delay, or Compressor as well as for Equalization 1026 Main Control Screen The first step in programming the 1026 is to configure the unit for the signal processing requirements of the application. To configure the unit, the DSP Configure pop-up window (located under the “Edit”...
  • Page 20 A configuration can be saved to one preset or to all presets. Thus, a desired common configura- tion can be created and saved to all presets with just one click of the mouse, or a complete reconfiguration of the 1026 with each preset is possible.

    DSP Configuration screen (see Figure 17, on the preceding page). The first line of the table indicates allocation of the PEQ filters in the 1026. The total number of filter units available is fifty. Both PEQ’s and Crossovers draw filter units from this bank of fifty filter units.

  • Page 22: Signal Routing

    Setting Bus Levels The 1026 software makes setting the levels simple. As with any multi-stage audio device, it is important to optimize levels. In the case of the 1026, one would want to maximize the levels from the mixing sec- Page 21...
  • Page 23 To optimize levels, Ivie provides a “Bus Trim” control for each of the two audio busses. To adjust bus trim, place the cursor on the box labeled “Bus Trim” and click, as shown in Figure 19 below: Proper Cursor Placement for Opening the “Bus Trim”...
  • Page 24 Figure 20 The proper setting of the signal level coming into a 1026 and signal level exiting the unit is crucial to the performance of the unit. As with all DSP based products, the 1026 is far less forgiving of being driven into clipping than an analog product would be.
  • Page 25 High and Low-pass filters are used to band-limit the system’s frequency range. The 1026 High-pass and Low-pass filters are fixed, 6dB/Oct. filters. If sharper filter skirts are needed, the 1026 allows the selec- tion of “Extended” filters (see the section titled “Extended Filters” on page 25). Shelving filters are also available to provide additional flexibility in shaping response curves.
  • Page 26 1026 Manual I vie Technologies, Inc. __________________________________________________________ When opening a PEQ window that has not been previously adjusted, a horizontal row of small boxes in the graph area of the display will be found. Each of these boxes represents a user-definable filter. The position of the box on the graph determines that filter's frequency (x-direction) and level (y-direction).
  • Page 27 The Compressor/Limiter Modules Compression and Limiting can be added to any 1026 input or output by activating the “Comp” modules while in the DSP Configure screen. To set up the Compressor/Limiter, double click on the Compressor module in the Main Control Screen.

  • Page 31 1026 Internal Sine Wave and Pink Noise Generators In addition to the signal processing capability of the 1026, there is a built-in sine wave and pink noise generator on each of the two input channels. These pink noise generators are independent of each other and are not coherent.
  • Page 32 However, the unit type designator (file extension) must remain as part of the file name. Files for a 1026, for example, must be saved as .126 files because only .126 files can be uploaded into a 1026. A desirable file name for a 1026 might be BallrmA.126, identifying the unit as the Ballroom A 1026 Digital Signal Processor.
  • Page 33 When the software is activated again, it looks for a matching “date and time” code on each of the 1026s it finds during the polling process. If a 1026 is selected and a matching “date and time”...
  • Page 34 Figure 29 The Preset Port Configuration is set in a default position when a 1026 is shipped from the factory. In the default configuration, Preset 1 will be activated when Port Terminal 1 is grounded, Preset 2 will be acti- vated when Port Terminal 2 is grounded, etc.

  • Page 36 1026 Manual I vie Technologies, Inc. __________________________________________________________ ALC 32dB Operating Range (0dB, No Attenuation) dB of Attenuation Figure 30 Think of the ALC target level as the “loudness” in the room. There is a relationship between the target level and the level appearing at the Master output. If the Master Gain Trim and Master Level Control are both set at 0dB of attenuation, the level measured at the Master output will be the same as the tar- get level measured at the Channel Direct Out.
  • Page 37 1026 Manual I vie Technologies, Inc. __________________________________________________________ In Figure 31, on the previous page, the ALC (remote control) has reduced the speaker’s level by 10dB in order to maintain the same “loudness” in the room. The ALC still has another 22dB of attenuation available and it can now “turn up”...
  • Page 38 1026 Manual I vie Technologies, Inc. __________________________________________________________ The Automatic Level Control can be set using the following steps: With ALC off, balance the system for maximum gain before feedback. Turn on ALC via the “Setup/Options” menu item under the Automixer pull-down menu.
  • Page 39 1026 Manual I vie Technologies, Inc. __________________________________________________________ Note: While viewing the action of the ALC on screen, making any adjustment to the 1026 will cause the strip chart recorder to stop scrolling. ALC monitoring is network intensive and stopping the scroll helps prevent too much traffic on the network.
