options available at the speaker system
depend on the current access right settings
( chapter 6.6.6).
6 Remote Control by Means
of a Computer
The speaker system includes a digital signal
processor (DSP) which on the one hand splits
the signal to the bass speaker and the tweeter
and on the other hand offers a wide range of
options for equalizing the frequency response,
readjusting the delay time, and limiting the
dynamic range. The DSP is factory-configured
and ready to use. Five presets with different
sound characteristics are available. The com-
puter software delivered with the speaker system
allows users to define their own settings, e. g. for
adapting the system to the room acoustics. By
means of the Ethernet interface (8), the speaker
system can be connected to a single computer, a
local computer network or, e. g. via a router, to
larger computer networks (Internet). Network
technology expertise is indispensable for the
correct installation of the connection.
Note: A direct connection of the speaker system to the
computer may require the use of a crossover cable or a
corresponding adapter.

6.1 Installing the PC software

****
; then
The installation of the control program supplied
with the speaker system requires a computer
Set
equipped with the Windows XP operating sys-
tem with Service Pack 2 or a later Windows ver-
sion, or Mac OS X version 10.5.8 or later and an
Ethernet interface. The screen resolution should
be at least 1024 × 768 pixels. To install the
PC software, start the installation program
"Setup.exe" or "Setup [...].msi" or "[...] Con-
troller.mpkg" (for Mac OS X) on the CD supplied
and follow the instructions of the installation pro-
gram.

6.2 Establishing a network connection

As per its factory settings, the speaker system
automatically obtains network settings from a
DCHP server in an existing network. If there is
no DHCP server in the network connected, the
speaker system will automatically assume the
role of a DHCP server and will allocate an IP
address to each of the other network members
that are defined to automatically obtain network
settings.
Con-
If only specific IP addresses are to be used,
a particular IP address can be manually as -
signed to the speaker system (
6.6.3).
When in standalone operation, the most
recently set IP address of a speaker system can
be shown, using the menu (
Note: The speaker system can only be configured by
means of the program when the computer and the
speaker system belong to the same sub-network. If
they do not, it may be reasonable to first only connect
the speaker system to a computer that automatically
obtains its network settings from the speaker system.
This connection can then be used to adapt the network
settings of the speaker system to the settings of the
designated network.

6.3 Control program

1) On the computer, call up the control program
"IMG Stage Line DSP Controller".
A window appears, asking the user to
enter the password for starting the program.
The pre-defined password is "monacor". The
user can change this password later.
2) Enter the password (without the inverted
commas), observing the spelling.
If the password is not correctly entered,
the message "Invalid password!" will be
shown. Confirm this message and re-enter
the password.
The overview window (fig. 2) appears, providing
a list of all the speaker systems connected.
In the upper row "All Units", the information
given in parentheses indicates the number of
speaker systems that are currently online, i. e.
actively connected with the computer.
