 Repeat this with the second 19" adapter.
The mixer is now ready to be mounted in a 19" rack. The total height is 370mm or about
8.5units. Don't forget to add a 1U blind panel, needed for the connectors on top of the
SMX-3.

UPGRADING THE FIRMWARE

With this procedure you can upgrade the firmware of both the processor and the DSP.
Upgrading the software is a delicate job so please follow the steps very carefully otherwise
the mixer can be damaged.
VERY IMPORTANT!
DON'T FORGET TO REGISTER YOUR SMX-3 MIXER. YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY
RECEIVE A REMINDER WHEN NEW SOFTWARE UPDATES ARE AVAILABLE!

If you upgrade both the processor and DSP software, you must always upgrade the
processor first! Always check the README-file included with a software update before
you start upgrading. Do NOT turn the mixer off or press any button during the upgrading
process! Wait until the display returns to normal. You can only interrupt the upgrading
process, by switching the mixer off, when the display is still dark after 1minute. In this
case the upgrading failed.
HOW TO CHECK THE SOFTWARE VERSION:
 Switch the mixer off.
 Press the play buttons (23) marked "16" and "32"
together.
 Turn the mixer on while you keep both buttons
pressed.
The display shows the software version for both
the microprocessor and the DSP: check the
drawing for more information. In this example the software versions are: Processor = V1.6
and DSP = V1.5
HOW TO UPGRADE THE PROCESSOR SOFTWARE:
 Put the SD™/SDHC™-card in your PC and copy the file called "SMX-3C_xx.bin" to the
memory card. Important! Do NOT rename the file!
 Put the SD™/SDHC™-card in the memory slot (28) of the SMX-3.
 Switch the mixer off.
 Press the 3 play buttons (23) marked "2" + "4" + "8" together.
 Turn the mixer on while you keep the 3 buttons pressed.
 All CUE buttons (5) flash four times to indicate that the upgrading process has started.
Once all cue buttons flashed 2 times you can release the 3 play buttons.
You will notice that the CUE buttons will lighten one by one (from 1 to 5) while the play
buttons change colors. After about 25seconds the display returns to normal to indicate that
the upgrading process has ended.
 Check the software version to see if the upgrading process succeeded.

Once all cue buttons flashed 2 times you can release the 3 play buttons.
You will notice that the CUE buttons will lighten one by one (from 1 to 3). After about
15seconds the display returns to normal to indicate that the upgrading process has ended.
 Check the software version to see if the upgrading process succeeded.
CHANGING THE FADERS
One of the big advantages of this mixer is the possibility to change the channel faders,
even while the mixer is in use.
This is what you must do to change a channel fader:
 Remove the fader knobs from the faders.
 Remove the 6 screws that hold the small
front panel around the faders.
 Remove the 3 screws of the fader you
want to change.
 Gently remove the fader from its position.
 Put the new fader gently in place. Be sure
to fit the contacts into the connector on
the mixer PCB-board.
 Put the 3 screws from the fader back in
place
 Put the small front plate back in place
with the 6 screws.
Done!
This is what you must do to change the cross fader:
 Remove the fader knob from the cross fader.
 Remove the 2 screws that keep the cross fader in place.
 Gently remove the fader and the cover plate from their position.
 Unplug the cross fader from the cable (unplug the cable by pulling the connector, NOT
the cable!)
 Press the new cross fader on the cable.
 Put the cross fader back in place with the small cover plate and the 2 screws.
Done!
