1. Scope of supply
d&b DS100 Manual 1.3 en4
2.1. Intended use
The d&b DS100 Signal Engine is a specialized 3 RU, 19" rack
mount audio processor with Audinate Dante audio networking.
In its base configuration, it provides a 64 x 64 level / delay audio
matrix. Additional software modules provide dynamic source
positioning and emulated acoustics functions.
NOTICE!
The device complies with the electromagnetic compatibility
requirements of EN 55103 (product family standard for audio,
video, audio-visual and entertainment lighting control apparatus for
professional use) for the environments E1 (residential), E2 (business
and commercial), E3 (outdoor use in urban areas) and E4
(outdoor use in rural areas).
Acoustic interferences and malfunctions may occur if the unit is
operated in the immediate vicinity of high-frequency transmitters
(e.g. wireless microphones, mobile phones, etc.). Damage to the
device is unlikely but cannot be excluded.
2.1.1. Software Terms of Use
The software modules installed on the DS100 shall only be used to
the extent intended/documented. d&b shall not be liable for any
damage resulting from any other or non-conforming use.
You may not decompile, copy, alter or enhance the software
modules installed on the DS100or their source codes in any form.
d&b will investigate any infringement of copyright or intellectual
property rights.
2.2. Application
The DS100 Signal Engine is a versatile tool for large and complex
audio systems that are used to route and distribute a large number
of audio channels to many different amplifier channels, break out
rooms, loudspeaker zones, or positions.
The DS100 completely integrates with the overall d&b system
approach which includes loudspeakers, amplifiers, rigging,
transport and networking accessories, and the DS10 Audio
network bridge. The DS10 interfaces between Dante audio
networking and the AES3 inputs of the d&b amplifiers.
d&b audio systems including the DS100 are designed and
optimized using the d&b ArrayCalc simulation software and are
controlled using the d&b R1 Remote control software.
The comprehensive input processing provides Gain, EQ, Delay,
Mute and Polarity switches enabling the user to combine all types
of input signals to create a mix of audio signals from a wide variety
of sources. Extended processing capabilities are also provided on
every output.
The audio matrix with level, mute, and delay controls at every
crosspoint is a very flexible tool to either simply distribute audio
signals to the intended output or, if the crosspoint delay is enabled,
to position audio sources in a distributed loudspeaker setup.

4.2. Rack mounting and cooling
Rack mounting
The DS100 enclosure is designed to fit standard 19" equipment
racks or cabinets.
When specifying a rack, be sure to allow extra depth (150 mm /
6" is usually sufficient) to accommodate the cables and connectors
at the rear of the device.
When mounting the DS100 into a 19" rack, do not just rely on
fixing and supporting the device by its front panel using
appropriate rack mounting screws and U washers as shown in the
graphic opposite. Provide additional support ...
▪ by fixing the rear-mounted rack ears using appropriate rack
mounting screws and U washers as shown in the graphic
opposite.
This is particularly important when the device is racked up for
touring purposes.
▪ or using shelves fixed to the inner sides of the cabinet or rack.
Cooling
Thermal conditions are a vital factor to ensure operational safety of
the device. The DS100 is equipped with three internal fans that
draw cool air from the front into the housing and channel the warm
air towards the back of the device.
▪ Please ensure that adequate cool airflow is provided.
▪ Do not block or cover the front panel air intake or the vents on
the rear panel.
▪ If the DS100 is installed in sealed cabinets (e.g. in fixed
installations), use additional fan modules with filters that can be
easily replaced without opening the sealed cabinets.
▪ Do not rack up the DS100 together with other devices
producing additional heat with opposing airflows.
d&b DS100 Manual 1.3 en 9
4.3. Connections
4.3.1. Mains connection
WARNING!
Potential risk of electric shock.
The device is a protective class 1 unit. A missing earth (ground)
contact may cause dangerous voltages in the housing and controls
and may lead to electric shock.
▪ Connect the device to mains power supplies with protective
earth only.
▪ If there is any sign of obvious damage to the power cord
and/or mains plug, do not use the power cord and replace it
before further use.
▪ Please ensure the mains connector is accessible at any time to
disconnect the device in case of malfunction or danger.
If the mains plug is not readily accessible due to mounting in a
19" rack or equipment cabinet, then the mains plug for the
entire rack or cabinet must be readily accessible.
▪ Do not connect or disconnect the IEC mains plug under load or
live.
An IEC type mains connector socket
[1] is fitted on the rear panel.
An appropriate power cord with an IEC type mains plug is
supplied with the device.
Before connecting the device to mains voltage, check that the
mains voltage and frequency correspond to the specifications on
the rating label next to the IEC type mains connector socket [1].
Lockable IEC type mains plug (IEC Lock)
Once the mains plug is connected, it is locked to avoid accidental
disconnection of the device.
To disconnect the power cord, pull the release button [R] towards
you and pull out the mains plug.
