Meanwhile, the system will restore the exact operating conditions at the time of switching off.
15.RS485 IN
16.RS 232 Out
This is the serial communication interface port. It allows incoming and outgoing communication between a MAXI-
DRIVE3.4 COMPACT and a PC or other MAXIDRIVE3.4 COMPACT units.
Communication protocol includes:
-Remote control:
1). Connect the MAXIDRIVE3.4 COMPACT to a PC; 2). It is possible to use the
LTO editing
software to control functions of all the processor remotely.
-Preset Dump:
1). Connect two MAXIDRIVE3.4 COMPACT; 2). It's possible to Dump the single Presets from
one unit to another (refer to Dump procedure).
-Program Change commands send/receive:
1). Connect two DAXIDRIVE3.4 COMPACT; 2). When a Preset
is recalled on the first one, it's possible to send a Program Change command to the second one to recall the
same Preset number
(refer to Load Preset procedure).
17.OUTPUTS
These (Outputs1~6) are balanced XLR-M connectors. The high quality, low noise, 20 bit converters can make
A/D conversion.
18.INPUTS
INPUT A and INPUT B are compatible with balanced XLR and JACK. They are audio connectors of the respective
sections. The high quality, low noise, 20 bit converters can make A/D conversion.

The function of the RS485 IN port is opposite to RS485 OUT. It allows incoming communication between a
MAXIDRIVE3.4 COMPACT and PC or other MAXIDRIVE3.4 COMPACT units. The RS485 interface is very
suitable for remote control over long distances (Difficult with RS232 standard ports) and for daisy-chaining several
MAXIDRIVE3.4 COMPACT.
The powerful versatile signal processor MAXIDRIVE3.4 COMPACT is mainly designed for use with audio systems.
Its routing configurations of the input and output can be only set by recalling one of the PRESETS included in the
internal memory. So the user must be very clear about the main function of the unit in order to get a best operation of
your MAXIDRIVE3.4 COMPACT. Before you start your operation, please read the following parts carefully:
