Hardware Configuration

The AXP 50 C AT does not have physical controls for configuration or operation.
Configuration and operation are accomplished using a PC running Windows
and the DSP Configurator software (available on the Extron website, www.extron.com), or
Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) using DataViewer.
Dante Controller for Windows from Audinate is required to select and route Dante transmit
and recieve channels to all connected Dante-compatible devices (see
Windows
The AXP 50 C AT has several front and rear panel operational indicators and a rear panel
reset button for hardware resets (see
The AXP 50 C AT is configured for immediate operation. While these settings allow the
device to pass audio when first connected, it rarely meets the needs of most applications.
The AXP 50 C AT can be fully configured using the DSP Configurator software.
The DSP Configurator software, when first launched, is a blank configuration with no
processing. All gain stages are muted and set to "unity gain," or 0 dB of gain. Input and
output gain stages provide metering in dBFS to assist configuration of the device for optimal
operation. Optimal operating levels are close to 0 dBFS without exceeding 0 dBFS (0 dB
"full scale" on the input or output meters). Levels above 0 dBFS cause clipping, which is
always audible on a digital device.
The AXP 50 C AT provides a comprehensive set of DSP processing tools. Use the filter tools
to shape the tonal quality of your microphones or EQ the room to compensate for acoustic
gain. Use the dynamics processors for level control or system protection.
