1Introduction

The enclosed disc contains the Precision iDP PC-iPTM installers software package; a comprehensive

editor & interface tool for the Precision iDPTM Monitor System.

The Precision PC-iPTM package allows parametric EQ facilities for specific room optimisation,

secure lockout of vital preset parameters and subwoofer delay adjustments.

All of these control functions are integral to the Precision iDPTM system; no external equalisers

or delay units are required. This makes the Precision PC-iPTM package an essential tool for the

Professional Studio sound system designer.

Once established using this comprehensive installation software, all system parameters are

controllable via the LCD display on the Master Precision monitors, Tannoy iDP SOFTTM or the

Precision iDP PC-iPTM package itself.

This manual acts as an operation guide for the Precision iDP PC-iPTM installer’s software package

only. A comprehensive system set-up guide, containing detailed parameter descriptions

and background information, can be found in the Precision iDPTM users manual packaged with

the monitors.

Connecting the Precision iDPTM monitor system correctly is essential; therefore please refer to

the Precision iDPTM users manual before going any further.

INSTALLATION

ACTIVE STUDIO MONITORS

Registration key

The registration key is supplied along with the Precision PC-iPTM software package. Later updates to

the software will not require the registration key as long as these updates are installed on the

same PC.

Start

Launch the program. The program will try to detect any Precision iDPTM system connected to the computer

COM ports.

If no monitors are connected, or the system is wired incorrectly, an error message will appear – see

Fig. 1.

Fig.1. Network error - system not found message

To rectify the problem please refer to the user manual for the correct connection details.

3 Initial system set-up

The first screen to appear once program has fully launched, with all the networked monitors and

subwoofers recognised, is shown in Fig. 2. The network is displayed in the set-up section on the left

side of the screen.

Fig.2. Initial system set-up screen

Monitor task assignment

Each Precision iDPTM monitor must be assigned a given task so that the network recognises where each

monitor is placed in the system. From the horizontal row of buttons in the <Functions> menus select

<Setup>. On the window that appears open the drop down menu <Precision setup> and select the

type of system configuration you are installing.

The choices from this menu are:

- Custom - Surround Analog

- Stereo Analog - Surround Digital*

- Stereo Digital - Surround 192kHz*

- Stereo 192kHz* - 5.1 Dig/6-Master*

*Optional Digital Input Card required.

If required check the <BNC Sync> box for locking on the BNC input.

Monitor task assignment /cont.

Then proceed to set the monitor tasks by selecting

one of the Precision models in the serial numbers list

(see Fig 3) where you will see that each

monitor & subwoofer has its own unique serial number.

Check the <Pink Noise> box to activate the pink

noise generator in the selected monitor. Select the

monitor task matching the position of the monitor

reproducing the pink noise before un-checking the

<Pink Noise> box. Repeat this process for all of

the other connected monitors and subwoofers.

There is no need to press the <Exit> button until

all of the monitors have been assigned their respective

tasks.

Having assigned the tasks the main display window

will show all the connected monitors and subwoofers

with their serial numbers showing in their correct

location in the system layout graphic.

By clicking the <test> button pink noise will

circulate around the connected monitors.

4. Main display screen features

Fig.4. Main display screen

With the tasks now assigned to the monitors and subwoofers, the individual speaker serial number and

its location is displayed within the setup section of the main screen.

The layout and description of all of the functions displayed on this main screen can be split up into

the following subsections:

Setup section

<M> Mute function for each monitor

<S> Solo function for each monitor

<Edit> This drop down menu holds all of the detected monitors on the network, all with

their own unique serial numbers. Select each monitor individually and press edit

to set the parameters for each Precision iDPTM monitor or Subwoofer (see the ‘EQ

facilities’ section of this manual)

ACTIVE STUDIO MONITORS

Software Version Click on the Precision <icon> on the blue header bar at the top left of the

main display screen to view the software version number.

Levels & Gain section

<Ref. Levels>

There are three reference levels that can be preset by the user. Select one of the

three ‘Ref. Levels’ and set the master volume fader to suit. The setting is then

stored instantly. Repeat the process for the other two ‘Ref. Levels’. When ‘use fader’

is selected the master volume fader is used for adjusting the overall level.

<A-Sensitivity>

This is the Analogue Input sensitivity.

Select the analogue sensitivity (+9, +15, +21 or +27dBu) to match the gain

range of the mixing console or source equipment, which is feeding the

Precision iDPTM monitors.

This button mutes all of the monitors on the network.

This button releases the monitors from solo mode.

This is the master gain control for the connected system relative to the set

reference level. The reference level for each monitor is set by using the <Edit>

button or by double clicking on each respective monitor in the setup section of

the screen.

Preset section

This drop down menu displays the full list of user and factory presets for

direct access

When pressed, this button recalls a preset from the drop down menu.

Simply highlight the preset you wish to recall and hit the ‘recall’ button.

<Store>

Press ‘store’ to save a preset. User presets can be stored in locations 1 –15.

Presets 16 – 32 are factory set presets and cannot be edited.

<Note>When pressed, this button allows you to change the preset name and edit any

previous personal notes. The <Note> function can only be used on the user

presets (1 –15)

Bass Management section

This part of the Precision PC-iPTM software allows the user to set the desired

Bass Management crossover frequency. There are seven factory set management

options that can be selected by checking the box beside the desired frequency.

For further adjustment flexibility you may choose to activate the advanced bass

management function by checking the <on> box. The seven preset Bass Management

settings shown can now no longer be selected.

The <Advanced> button can then be activated to take you into the

Advanced Bass Management section.

Advanced Bass Management

To activate the advanced bass management and access the set-up window

(see fig.5) check the <On> box in the Bass Management section of the main screen,

then press the <Advanced> button.

Fig.5. Advanced bass management window

This is an independent Hi pass filter for the Precision monitors.

This can be combined with both 4th order and/or 2nd order Low Pass

subwoofer filters.

One or both of the Subwoofer low pass filters can be activated. If both are activated

then you are effectively cascading both filters (6th order)

<LFE=Sub>

By checking this box the LFE filter is set equal to the Subwoofer filter thus avoiding

phase cancellation. When activated, the coefficients from the two sub filters will be

copied to the LFE filter.

The sub filter in the EQ section can still be activated on top of the <LFE=Sub>

filter setting.
