Goal / when to use

Package a finished speaker tuning so you can reuse it on other channels or jobs. From Maxx Remote 1.13.0, presets are created and edited in Maxx Remote (not only on the amplifier).

For multi-way cabinets, read Multi-way channels first.

Prerequisites

  • Channel (or multi-way parent) tuned the way you want
  • Matching way count on any target channel that will load the preset

What a preset stores

Typical fields included:

  • Volume
  • Phase invert
  • Delay
  • EQ
  • FIR
  • Limiters

Create a preset

  1. Finish tuning on a regular or multi-way channel.
  2. Open the channel edit dialog → SPEAKER tab (use the parent for multi-way).
  3. Click CREATE PRESET.
  4. Enter metadata. Optionally set a password so only authorized users can edit later.
  5. Confirm creation / export as needed (.spkr files).

Expected result

You have a reusable speaker preset file / project preset you can apply elsewhere.

Edit a preset

  1. Apply the preset to a channel (or open a channel that already has it).
  2. SPEAKER tab → EDIT (enter password if prompted).
  3. The UI focuses on the preset editor channel(s).
  4. Change DSP, then SAVE or SAVE AS NEW / abort as offered.

Each edit increments an internal revision so two files with the same name/id can be compared for which is newer when exporting.

Apply a preset

  1. Open the target channel or group → SPEAKER.
  2. Use Select file (or the preset picker) and choose a .spkr file.
  3. Confirm the way configuration matches (2-way preset → 2-way channel only).

Groups

  • Mapped channels inherit a group’s speaker preset unless the channel already has its own.
  • If several groups provide presets, the channel uses the preset from the group that was mapped first — avoid stacking conflicting group presets.
  • Way-count mismatches on some members are skipped for those members.

Expected result

Target channels show the preset on the SPEAKER tab; amp output follows after link/sync.

Legacy .speaker presets

Presets created on MAXX devices (.speaker) still load, but:

  • They are not editable in Maxx Remote
  • New .spkr presets take precedence; applying a new preset removes the legacy one
  • A channel prefers a new preset (even from a group) over a legacy preset on the channel itself
