Channels and groups

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Build the logical system: one channel per speaker (or multi-way cabinet), and groups for rooms, zones, or show control.

Open CHANNELS → MAP | CREATE.
Click + CHANNEL.
Set how many channels to add and name them (for example Lobby Left, Lobby Right).
Click CREATE CHANNELS.

For multi-way cabinets (one channel object with Low/Mid/High ways), enable MULTI-WAY MODE — see Multi-way channels.

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Connect real amplifiers and map each project channel (speaker) to the correct HW channel (amp output).

Open DEVICES → ADD DEVICE.
Choose:
- ADD FROM NETWORK — select discovered units (SCAN NETWORK as needed)
- ADD MANUALLY — model + hostname (and IP when known)
Decide whether to CONNECT AFTER ADDING.
Only enable CREATE CHANNELS if you want Maxx Remote to auto-create a project channel per amp output. For planned systems, leave this off.
Confirm ADD / ADD SELECTED.

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Bring program audio into Maxx Remote so groups and channels receive the correct Dante (or related) streams.

Open INPUTS → + INPUT SOURCE.
Fill in:
- SOURCE LABEL — friendly name in Maxx Remote
- RECEIVE HOSTNAME — Dante device hostname
- RECEIVE LABEL — transmit channel name
For stereo / surround sources, add each leg as required by the source type.
Save with CREATE SOURCE.

Example TX naming in Dante Controller: 01@STEFFEN-PC.

Dial in levels and DSP after speakers are linked. Prefer group moves for room-wide changes and channel moves for speaker-specific trim.

Open CHANNELS.
Click VOLUME on the speaker.
Enter an offset relative to the current summed output workflow you are using → SET.

Note

CHANNELS always shows the final output (channel + all groups). That is why a channel may already read −20 dB after a group change.
