Goal / when to use

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

Prerequisites

  • Channels mapped to groups
  • Devices linked if you want to hear results on hardware
  • Understand summation (Concept)

Volume

Room (group)

  1. Open GROUPS.
  2. Click VOLUME for the room.
  3. Enter a value (for example -20) → Enter / SET.

Speaker trim (channel)

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

Mute and power

  • Use group MUTE for room silence.
  • Use channel MUTE for a single speaker.
  • POWER controls (where available) can be driven from channel, group, or operator VIEW widgets.

EQ

  1. Open EQ from the channel or group row (EQ icon / edit dialog EQ tab).
  2. Drag filter types (PEQ, shelves, HP/LP, …) into the plot.
  3. Select a filter, set type (gear), frequency, gain, Q.
  4. On a channel, review the summed curve when groups also contribute EQ.

Delay and phase

  1. Open the channel or group edit dialog → DELAY / PHASE.
  2. Set delay for alignment; use phase invert when polarity must flip.
  3. Prefer group delay only when the whole room should shift together.

Limiters, FIR, speaker tools

Advanced DSP (limiters, FIR, speaker detection, speaker presets) lives in the channel / group edit tabs (LIMIT, SPEAKER, …). For packaged speaker tunings see Speaker presets.

Bulk edits

On CHANNELS / GROUPS list pages, column headers such as VOLUME, MUTE, DELAY, PHASE open editors that can apply to the current selection — useful for many identical fills.

Undo / redo

Maxx Remote supports undo/redo for project edits — use it while tuning instead of guessing previous values.

Expected result

Rooms sit at safe levels; individual speakers are trimmed; EQ/delay match the design intent; CHANNELS output values match what you hear.
