DCM
Digital Cinema Monitors
DCM-1 | DCM-3
QSC’s Digital Cinema Monitors provide signal processing and monitor functions in a single integrated system. Designed to be used with QSC’s Digital Cinema Amplifiers (DCAs), DCMs optimize loudspeaker performance while simplifying cinema sound system wiring and configuration. The DCM-1 and DCM-3 cover cinema systems ranging from three to five screen channels, and is configurable for bi-amp or tri-amp operation. DCMs are also compatible with all cinema processor formats including Dolby Digital Surround-EX and DTS-ES.
Digital Signal Processing
The DCM’s digital signal processing capability outperforms traditional analog crossovers for optimized speaker performance. Crossover frequency, parametric equalization, polarity and gain can be precisely adjusted for each speaker in your system. Digital delays, adjustable in 20 s increments, assure proper acoustical timealignment of loudspeaker drivers for smooth frequency response, especially critical in three-way systems. A passive emergency bypass crossover is also included for fail-safe operation.
Less wiring, faster setup
DCMs greatly simplify system wiring and set-up, significantly reducing installation time and labor cost. Input to the DCM is provided via a standard DB-25 cable from the cinema processor. Connections to DCA amplifiers for input and monitor signals are made through a single QSC DataPort / VGA-style cable. All traditional XLR and barrier strip terminations are eliminated.
DCMs also simplify set-up by using a menu-driven, PCbased software program for configuration. The program includes a speaker data file that lists default parameters for popular cinema speaker models. Commonly used configurations can also be saved on a disk, allowing you to quickly load them on other DCMs.
Advanced Monitor Functions
In addition to audio monitoring of amplifier inputs and outputs, DCMs include QSC’s exclusive “load fault” detection. DCMs monitor all amplifier outputs and indicate opens and shorts in the speaker system and wiring via LED “load fault” indicators, providing confirmation that all amplifiers outputs are functioning properly.
