Controls and Connectors MTX5-D Owner’s Manual11 Switches 1–2 (UNIT ID) These switches specify the upper digit and the above- mentioned [UNIT ID] rotary switch specifies the lower digit, together allowing you to specify one of 63 different UNIT ID numbers in a range from 01 to 3F. Switch 3 Not used. Turn it off (up) at any time. Switch 4 (SECONDARY PORT) This switch setting determines whether the rear-panel Dante [SECONDARY] connector will be used for a daisy chain or redundant network. With the [DAISY CHAIN] setting, you can connect mul- tiple Dante-enabled network devices in a daisy chain without using a network swit ch. Refer to “Daisy chain network” in the “About conne ctions” section (see page 15) for more information about daisy chain connections. With the Dante [REDUNDANT] setting, the Dante [PRI- MARY] connector will be us ed for primary connections, and the Dante [SECONDARY] connector will be used for secondary (backup) connecti ons. If the unit is unable to transmit signals through the Dante [PRIMARY] connec- tor for some reason (e.g., due to damage or accidental removal of the cable, or a failed network switch), the Dante [SECONDARY] connector will automatically take over communications and functions on the redundant net- work. Refer to “About redundant networks” in the “About connections” section (see page 15) for more information on redundant networks. Switch 5 (PANEL LOCK) This switch locks the front panel controls. Use this if you want to prevent accidental operation from the front panel. Switch 6 (IP SETTING) This switch specifies how the MTX5-D’s IP address will be specified. Switches 7–8 (START UP MODE) These specify whether the MTX5-D will be initialized when it is powered-on. i [DCP] connector Use this connector to daisy-ch ain separately sold control panels such as the DCP1V4S to control the MTX5-D. Use a CAT5e or better Ethernet straight cable that has all eight pins connected. Up to eight control panels ca n be connected to one MTX5-D. The total length of the cables from the MTX5-D to the last control panel must not exceed 200 meters. Switch positionOptionFunctions UNIT ID is “0x” The [UNIT ID] rotary switch will have a setting range of 01 through 0F. UNIT ID is “1x” The [UNIT ID] rotary switch will have a setting range of 10 through 1F. UNIT ID is “2x” The [UNIT ID] rotary switch will have a setting range of 20 through 2F. UNIT ID is “3x” The [UNIT ID] rotary switch will have a setting range of 30 through 3F. NOTE Do not use a UNIT ID of “00” (DIP switches 1 and 2 OFF and the rotary switch at 0). Switch positionOption Functions DAISY CHAIN The Dante [SECONDARY] connector is used for a daisy chain connection. It can be connected in a daisy chain by connecting to Dante [PRIMARY] connec- tor of the next device. REDUNDANT The Dante [SECONDARY] connector is used for a redundant network. It will function as backup connec- tion, independent of the net- work to which the Dante [PRIMARY] connector is connected. Switch positionOption Functions UNLOCK The front panel controls will be available for operation. LOCK The front panel controls will be locked, and will be inop- erable. The device can be operated from a computer or an external controller. Switch positionOption Functions UNIT ID The IP address will be specified according to the UNIT ID, and will be 192.168.0.(UNIT ID). PC The IP address will be determined by the settings of MTX-MRX Editor. (See “MTX-MRX Editor User Guide.”) NOTE You must set this to the “UNIT ID” position the first time you connect this device to a computer after purchase. If you subsequently want to specify the IP address instead of using the UNIT ID, specify the IP address from MTX- MRX Editor and then switch this setting to the “PC” posi- tion. Switch positionOption Functions RESUME This is the normal operating mode. When you power-on the MTX5-D, it will start up in the same state in which it was when the power was turned off. INIT. (INITIALIZE) Initializes the MTX5-D, returning it to the factory-set state (page 22). CAUTION Do not connect a control panel to any connector other than the MTX5-D’s [DCP] connector. Since the control panel is not electrically compatible, such con- nections may cause fire or malfunction. Never connect any device to the [DCP] connector other than the separately sold DCP or other control panel. Doing so may damage the other device or this device.
Controls and Connectors MTX5-D Owner’s Manual12 o[YDIF] connectors These connectors are used to make a ring connection with the devices that comprise th e MTX/MRX system, allowing digital audio signals to be transmitted and received. Use CAT5e or better Ethernet STP ca bles (shielded twisted pair cables) that have all eight pins connected in a straight con- nection. The maximum cable length between de vices is 30 meters, and you can connect up to eight devices that are equipped with the [YDIF] connectors. For details, refer to the MTX-MRX Editor User Guide. !0 POWER IN +24V DC Support for this connector is planned for the future. !1Dante [PRIMARY]/[SECONDARY] connectors This is an RJ45 connector used to connect the unit to a com- puter or a Dante device such as the XMV4280-D via an Ethernet cable (CAT5e or better is recommended). If DIP switch 4 on the rear panel is set upward (to DAISY CHAIN), audio signals coming in to one of these connectors will be output from the other. Refer to “Daisy chain net- work” in the “About connections” section (see page 15) for more information on da isy chain connections. If DIP switch 4 on the rear pa nel is set downward (to REDUNDANT), the Dante [PRI MARY] connector will be used for primary connection, and the Dante [SECONDARY] connector will be used for se condary (backup) connection. If the unit is unable to transmit signals through the Dante [PRI- MARY] connector for some reas on (e.g., due to damage or accidental removal of the cable, or a failed network switch), the Dante [SECONDARY ] connector will automatically take over the connection. Refer to “About redundant networks” in the “About connections ” section (see page 16) for more information on redundant networks. The connected computer is used mainly with the dedicated “MTX-MRX Editor” application program for the purpose of setting up or controlli ng the MTX/MRX system. !2[ST IN] connectors These are unbalanced RCA phono jacks for inputting analog audio signals from a CD pl ayer or other device. !3Slot This slot allows a separately sold Mini-YGDAI I/O card to be installed. !4 [INPUT]/[OUTPUT] connectors These are balanced input/output connectors for analog audio input and output. Connect line level devices or microphones to the [INPUT] connectors, and line level devices to the [OUTPUT] connectors. The [INPUT] connectors provide head amps, and can also pr ovide +48V phantom power. MTX-MRX Editor is used to specify the gain of the internal head amps and to turn the phantom power on/off. Use the included Euroblock plugs to make connections (see “Euroblock plug connection” on page 13 for details). NOTE Using a Mini-YGDAI card for an external word clock may cause noise in system configurations with multiple YDIF connections. In such cases, we recommend using a differ- ent word clock source, such as Dante or YDIF. NOTE • Since Dante-compatible equipment made by Yamaha such as the MTX5-D contains a built-in network switch, the number of hops will be two or more. For this reason, the 0.15 msec Latency setting in Dante Controller will be grayed-out and unavailable. • Use STP (shielded twisted pair) cable to prevent electro- magnetic interference. NOTE Adjusting the internal head amp gain between +17 dB and +18 dB will internally turn PAD on/off. Noise may occur if there is an impedance difference between the Hot and Cold of a device connected to the [INPUT] connectors while phantom power is being used.
Controls and Connectors MTX5-D Owner’s Manual13 Euroblock plug connection Use the included Euroblock plugs when making connections to the [INPUT]/[OUTPUT] connectors and [GPI] connector. 1. Loosen the terminal screws. 2. Insert cables. 3. Securely tighten the terminal screws. Pull the cables (not too strongly) to confirm that they are securely connected. 4. For the Euroblock plugs (3-pin) of the [INPUT]/[OUTPUT] connectors, use the included cable ties to fasten the cable to the tab. Cable preparation • Use stranded wire for Euroblock connections, and strip the wire as shown in the illustration. With a Euroblock connection, the stranded wire may be prone to breakage because of metal fatigue due to the weight of the cable or due to vibration. Cables connected to the [INPUT]/[OUTPUT] connectors should be fastened to the tab of the Euroblock plug (3-pin) using the included cable ties (see illustration at right). When rack-mounting the device, use a lac- ing bar when possible to bundle and secure the cable. • If cables will be frequently connected and discon- nected, as in the case of a portable system, we rec- ommend that you use ferrules with insulation sleeves. Use a ferrule whose conductor portion has an external diameter of 1.6 mm or less (1.3 mm or less for the [GPI] connector) and a length of approx- imately 7 mm (approximately 5 mm for the [GPI] connector) such as the AI 0,5 - 6 WH made by the Phoenix Contact corporation. approx. 7 mm (approx. 5 mm for the GPI connector) approx. 20 mm NOTE Do not tin (plate with solder) the stranded wire. 1.6 mm or less (1.3 mm for the GPI connector)approx. 7 mm (approx. 5 mm for the GPI connector) NOTE Use a slotted screwdriver with a blade width of 2 mm or less for the [GPI] connector’s Euroblock plug (16-pin), and a blade width of 3 mm or less for the [INPUT]/[OUT- PUT] connector’s Euroblock plug (3-pin). NOTE Trim off the extra portion of the cable tie as necessary. Loosen Slotted screwdriver Terminal screw Euroblock plug Ta b * The explanation uses tabbed Eurob- lock plugs. 3 mm or less +–G

Installing an option card Before you install I/O cards in slots, you must check the Yamaha website to determine whether the card is compatible with the MTX5-D. http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/ To install an optional Mini-YGD AI card, proceed as follows. 1. Make sure that the power is turned off. 2. Loosen the screws that hold the slot cover in place, and remove the slot cover. Keep the removed slot cover and screws in a safe place. 3. Align the edges of the card with the guide rails inside the slot, and insert the card into the slot. Push the card all th e way into the slot so that the connec- tor at the end of the card is correctly inserted into the con- nector inside the slot. 4. Use the screws included with the card to fasten the card in place. Malfunctions or incorrect opera tion may occur if the card is not fastened. NOTE When connecting unbalanced cables to the [INPUT] connector, use a jumper wire to connect the “-” and “G” of the Euroblock. +–G Slot cover NOTICE When inserting the card, align both sides of the card with the guide rails in the slot of the host device. CAUTION Before connecting a separately sold Mini-YGDAI I/O card to the MTX5-D, you must turn off the power switches for the MTX5-D. Failure to observe this will cause malfunction or electric shock.

MTX5-D Owner’s Manual15 About Dante This product features Dante technology as a protocol to transmit audio signals. Dante is a network pro- tocol developed by Audinate. It is designed to de liver multi-channel audio signals at various sampling and bit rates, as well as device control signals over a Giga-bit Ethernet (GbE) network. Dante also offers the following benefits: • It transmits up to 512 in/512 out, for a total 1024 channe ls (in theory) of audio over a GbE network. (The MTX5-D features 16 in/16 out with a 24/32-bit resolution.) • Dante uses high accuracy network synchronization standards to achieve sample-accurate playback with extremely low latency and jitter. Four types of latency are offered by the MTX5-D: 0.25 msec, 0.5 msec, 1.0 msec, and 5.0 msec. • Dante supports resilient redundant connections against un expected network problems via primary and secondary cir- cuits. Visit the Audinate website for more details on Dante. http://www.audinate.com/ Additional information on Dante is also posted on the Yamaha Pro Audio website: http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/ There are two ways to connect the MTX5-D to a Dante net- work. Daisy chain network A daisy chain is a wiring scheme in which multiple devices are connected together in sequence. In this way, networking is simple and requires no network switches. This connection method is suitab le for a simple system with a small number of devices. However, if a large number of devices are connected, the latency value must be increased. Also, if a connection is bro- ken in a daisy chain network, th e signal flow is interrupted at that point and no signal will be transferred beyond that point. Star network In a star network, each device is connected to a central hub. Using a GbE-compatible network switch enables you to con- figure a wide-band, large-scal e network. We recommend a network switch that features various functions to control and monitor the network (such as Qos, the ability to assign prior- ity to data flows — e.g., cl ock synchronization or audio transmission on certain data circuits.) With this topology, it is comm on to configure a redundant network so that an unexpect ed network problem will not affect any audio or otherw ise stable communications. About connections NOTE Please do not use the EEE function (*) of network switches in a Dante network. Although power management should be negotiated automati- cally in switches that support EEE, some switches do not per- form the negotiation properly. This may cause EEE to be enabled in Dante networks when it is not appropriate, resulting in poor synchronization performance and occasional dropouts. Therefore we strongly recommend that: • If you use managed switches, ensure that they allow EEE to be disabled. Make sure that EEE is disabled on all ports used for real-time Dante traffic. • If you use unmanaged switches, make sure to not use net- work switches that support the EEE function, since EEE operation cannot be disabled in these switches. * EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is a technology that reduces switch power consumption during periods of low network traffic. It is also known as Green Ethernet and IEEE802.3az. NOTE The computer that’s running MTX-MRX Editor must be con- nected to the unused Dante [PRIMARY] connector or Dante [SECONDARY] connector on the MTX5-D.

About Dante MTX5-D Owner’s Manual16 About redundant networks A redundant network consists of two circuits, a primary cir- cuit and a secondary circuit. Normally, the network operates on the primary circuit. However, if the primary connection is broken, the secondary circuit wi ll automatically take over communications. Therefore, us ing a redundant network with a star topology would increase resiliency against unexpected network problems relative to a daisy chain network. About Dante Controller Dante Controller is a software a pplication that allows config- uration and audio routing of Dante networks. Use Dante Controller if you need to make connections and settings for devices not supported by MTX-MRX Editor, or if you need to specify complex signal routings on the Dante network. More information is posted on the following website. http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/ To run Dante Controller, a co mputer must feature a GbE- compatible Ethernet connector. Refer to the Dante Controller owner’s manual for details on Dante Controller. NOTE The computer that’s running MTX-MRX Editor must be con- nected to the [PRIMARY] connector of the MTX5-D.

MTX5-D Owner’s Manual20 Various Procedures With the MTX/MRX system, input/output port patching, matrix mixer settings, and the parameters of XMV amps within the same MTX/MRX system are stored together as a “preset” in the MTX5-D and in MTX-MRX Editor for recall when desired. Each MTX/MRX system can store 50 presets. MTX-MRX Edi- tor is used to edit presets. Each preset contains settings such as the following. • Input/output port settings and patching • Input/output channel gain and EQ settings • Matrix mixer settings • Zone settings • Routing settings • Effect settings • DCA and mute group settings • Parameter settings for XMV devices within the same MTX/MRX system •Preset name For details, refer to “MTX -MRX Editor User Guide.” Switching presets from the MTX5-D 1. While watching the [PRESET] display, use the [ s]/[ t] buttons to select the preset number that you want to recall. The [PRESET] display will flash during this time. 2. Press the [ENTER] button to confirm your selection. The [PRESET] display will st op flashing; the preset has been recalled. Each time the devices connected to the MTX/MRX system are brought online, the date and time of the computer will be trans- mitted to all devices, automa tically updating their internal clocks. You can also update the date and time settings on all devices connected to the same network by transmitting the computer’s date and time settings from the “Clock” dialog box in MTX- MRX Editor. For more information on operation, refer to “MTX-MRX Editor User Guide.” The scheduler can switch presets or play music and sound effects from the SD memory card at the date and time you spec- ify. Each such setting is called an “event.” Event settings are made in th e “Scheduler” dialog box of MTX- MRX Editor. For details on ope ration, refer to “MTX-MRX Editor User Guide.” < Example 1 > Switching background music and playback area according to the time of day In commercial facili ties that switch background music and play- back areas at different times of the day, you can switch the type of music and the playback area according to the time of day. < Example 2 > Switching the playback time according to the day of the week In commercial facilities that switch the time period of music depending on the day of the week, you can specify the music pattern and playback t imes according to the day of the week and the hours of operation. You can also play seasonal music, or specify exceptions such as stopping playback on days when the facility is not operating. Recalling (switching) presets NOTE • If you leave the device for 30 seconds with the [PRE- SET] display flashing, it will revert to the previous pre- set number. • If a control panel such as a DCP series unit is con- nected, you’ll be able to easily switch presets.
