The main menu shows the most important settings of the DDP in one screen
and lets you control some important settings directly. The picture above
shows the main menu for the DDP in ‘Dual channel mode’. In ‘Stereo mode’,
‘Bridged mono mode’ and in ‘2-way active mode’, the DDP switches to a
single control section for the entire amplifier.
The top line shows the name of the selected user preset. If a preset is
recalled and, after that, further adjustments are made, an asterisk,
is
displayed in the top right corner of the display.
The speaker presets shows the selected Alcons loudspeaker system presets
for channel1 and channel2.
Two gain controls adjust level for their respective amplifier channels. The
controls are calibrated in dB’s absolute gain for the entire amplifier, or in
dBr’s relative to the gain of the ALC amplifiers (+32 dB). Remember, that in
bridged mono mode the voltage gain of the amplifier is multiplied by two, so
you must add 6dB to the gain indication in relative mode. In absolute mode
the DDP automatically indicates the correct gain.
To the right of the gain indication the
, or icon shows whether the input
for that channel is taken from the channel1, the channel2 or the sum of the
channel1 and channel2 XLR inputs with 6 dB attenuation. The
icon
indicates the delay is active and the
icon indicates the channel2 delay is
linked to the channel1 delay.
Finally, if the
icon is visible, it indicates the DDP is locked.
