3 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing the innovative UX3600 digital signal processor (DSP) from Eastern
Acoustic Works. While designed with the fundamental principles of close-coupled processing used since the first MX Series Processors in the 1980s, the UX3600 uses EAW’s latest advances in digital technology to provide optimum signal processing and management of EAW loudspeaker systems.
3 . 1 U X 3 6 0 0 D e s c r i p t i o n
The UX3600 is a 3-input, 6-output digital signal processor.
It functions as a user-controlled, digital signal processor, as well as providing sophisticated,
EAW-engineered digital processing for specific portable and installed EAW loudspeakers.
Processing tools include 10 EQ filters and signal delay (up to 1200 ms) for each input and output,as well as gain, polarity, limiting, and crossover filters.
One can set up multiple processors for specific EAW loudspeaker products or loudspeaker arrays.
These pre-programed loudspeaker settings are referred to as “Greyboxes.” This term comes from certain parameters not being user adjustable (“black-boxed”), certain parameters being user adjustable (“white-boxed,” as it were), with the combination of black/white being grey. Greybox settings consist of preset, EAW-engineered processing parameters for the crossovers, equalization, limiting, and other settings as an integral part of that loudspeaker’s design and operation. These settings include EAW’s digital processing invention called EAW Focusing™. In addition, preset limiting parameters are designed to maximize sonic performance during active limiting while providing robust driver protection. These preset parameters are locked down to prevent inadvertent or purposeful modifications. However, the user retains control of gain, input EQ, signal delay, and polarity for each
Greybox loudspeaker.
The simplicity of the UX3600 is practical for entry level users and fast to operate for professional users.
This function provides for a high level of system consistency while retaining all necessary user alignment controls.
3 . 2 F e a t u r e s a n d B e n e f i t s
• “Greybox” operation – Complete processing presets for EAW loudspeakers provides ease of setup, consistency, and interoperability between EAW products and systems.
• Comprehensive and intuitive front panel control – Access to operational parameters making computer control unnecessary for simple and quick adjustments.
• EAWPilot software – Comprehensive software control of all hardware parameters.
• EAW Focusing capable – Implements EAW Focusing for specific EAW loudspeaker systems using the “Greybox” mode.
• All filter parameters are compatible with EAW’s measurement and modeling software - Allows the creation of advanced array processing.
• Advanced Greybox Limiting - Provides more robust driver protection and better sonic performance based on specific EAW driver and loudspeaker performance characteristics.

6 LED INDICATORS
6 . 1 I n p u t m e t e r s
The input meters indicate the signal level in dB below 0 dBFS (0 dB Full Scale), the clip level of the ADC
(analog to digital converter). An input meter still functions when its Input Channel is muted. Ideally, the highest levels of the signal should illuminate the -6 LED segment, but not the CLIP segment.
Occasional flashing of the CLIP segment may be sonically acceptable.
LED Segment Signal Level
Clip Red 0 dBFS
- 6 Yellow
-12 Green
Sig Green
-6 dBFS
-12 dBFS
-40 dBFS
An active mute is indicated when the top two LED segments are illuminated.
6 . 2 O u t p u t M e t e r s
Unlike the input meters, the four LED segments of each output meter make up two different meters.
An active mute is indicated when the top two LED segments are illuminated.
6.2.1
SIG, -12, AND CLIP SIG SEGMENTS
These three segments monitor the signal level in dB below 0 dBFS (0 dB Full Scale), the clip level of the DAC (digital to analog converter). An output meter still functions when its Output Channel is muted.
Ideally, you want the highest level to illuminate the -12 segment, but not the CLIP segment. You can set levels lower than this, but understand that you are reducing the signal-to-noise ratio.
LED Segment Signal Level
Clip Red 0 dBFS
-12 Green
Sig Green
-12 dBFS
-40 dBFS
6.2.2
LIM SEGMENT
This segment monitors the limiter status referenced to the level set for the limiter threshold. The Lim segment will indicate limiting even when its Output Channel is muted.
LED Segment Status
Lim Yellow On when the limiter threshold is exceeded and there is gain reduction
Occasional flashing is OK. However, if the LED is rapidly flashing yellow or is on steadily a large percentage of the time, the input signal to the loudspeaker may be exceeding the loudspeaker’s capability and the volume level should be reduced.
7 EAWPILOT
7 . 1 E x t r a C a p a b i l i t i e s
While the UX3600 interface window in EAWPilot software provides the same capabilities for controlling the UX3600 as its front panel controls, it also provides additional capabilities not available using the front panel controls.
7.1.1
LEVEL MONITORING
The meters in EAWPilot provide more accurate and much higher resolution signal level monitoring. Both the average and peak levels are easier to read and provide mush better tracking for critical situations.
7.1.2
PARAMETER LINKING
Using the Map tab in the UX3600 interface window, parameter values for the input channels and the output channels may be linked so that any changes will affect all such linked parameters.

8 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
8 . 1 M a i n t e n a n c e
The only routine and periodic maintenance for the processor is physical cleaning and performance testing.
8.1.1
CLEANING
Clean the exterior surfaces of the chassis as required, using a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or dirt. Remove any dirt from the air intake holes on the side and top of the chassis. Remove any dirt accumulated on the ventilation fan grille.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the exterior finishes or internal circuitry do not use any liquid, cleaning solvents, or abrasives.
While the interval between cleanings will depend on the frequency of usage and the conditions of use, it is recommended that cleaning be performed at least once a year. Clean more often if used in dusty or dirty conditions, such as part of a portable or touring system.
8.1.2 PERFORMANCE TESTING
Perform listening tests and/or formal measurements, checking all processor functions for proper operation.
While the interval between testing will depend on the frequency of usage and the conditions of use, it is recommended that should be performed at least once every six months. Test more often if used in conditions that subject the unit to mechanical stress, such as part of a portable or touring system .
8 . 2 S e r v i c e
