2 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the DYNACORD DSP 600 Digital Signal Processor. The DSP 600 Digital System Processor is a universal two-input, six-output digital signal processor with the flexibility of configuration to handle a multitude of audio system needs and applications; installed sound, house of worship, convention & meeting facilities, concert touring, club, portable sound reinforcement and more.

CAUTION: To achieve optimum performance and guard against damage to the processor, your sound system or

yourself, please read, understand and follow all of the directions contained in this Owner’s Manual. Failure to do so may result in improper performance, loss or injury.

2.1 DSP 600 Features

The internal signal processing structure can be configured as 2-way stereo + full-range, 3-way stereo, 4-way mono + fullrange, 5-way mono + full range, 3-way stereo with a mono sub + full-range, 4-way stereo with mono sub and low frequency and finally as a freely assignable 2 x 6 matrix router. The DSP 600 replaces entire racks of signal processors previously needed to properly configure and control sound reinforcement systems with a single Dual-Core DSP processor. The substantial advantages of the DSP 600 over discrete signal processing racks include:

• 24-bit, 48 kHz digital signal path

• No patch cables to fail or add noise

• Optimal gain structure throughout all stages of signal processing; no gain matching from processor to processor

• Recallable factory and user presets; instant system reconfiguration for differing applications and performances

• Easy, intuitive operation and editing with a PC and IRIS-Net

FIR-TUNE

The DSP 600 includes Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters at each output for loudspeaker linearization. Using FIR filters has the following advantages, compared to using IIR filters (e.g. Bessel, Butterworth,…).:

• extremely linear frequency response

• very high stop-band attenuation

• linear phase systems

To sum up, FIR-TUNE allows the linearization of frequency and phase of your DYNACORD loudspeakers. Activating FIRTUNE is as easy as loading a FIR Speaker Setting in the output channel of the DSP 600. The IRIS-Net software is used for loading Speaker Settings, and lots of DYNACORD FIR Speaker Settings are included. Please refer to the documentation of IRIS-Net for more details about using Speaker Settings.

2.4 Quick Start

CONNECT DSP 600

Connect the signal inputs and outputs of the DSP 600 (console - DSP 600 - amplifier). You must make sure that each output is connected to the correct amplifier and loudspeaker(s). The DSP 600 must be connected to A.C. power only by means of the provided IEC A.C. cable or by a power cable provided by the dealer / installer to match the configuration of your country or region. After power-up the number and name of the last loaded preset and the configuration mode is indicated.

ECALL PRESET

Press the Recall button and select the factory preset matching to your speaker configuration. Press the Recall button again to activate the preset. If the configuration of the DSP 600 changes the Recall button has to be pressed a third time. The configuration LEDs indicate the function of each output channel. Full range is indicated by all lit LEDs.

Illustration 2-1: Output assignment LEDs

CAUTION: The parameter settings of the DSP 600 factory presets are highly optimized and should not be changed.

Especially editing X-Over, PEQ or Limiter settings can result in damaged speakers.

The following steps are shown for one output channel only.

ONFIGURE LEVEL

Press the Level button to open the Level/Limiter dialog.

The Level parameter allows adjustment of the level ratio between sub and top speakers. E.g. if the parameters in a preset are optimized for 2 subs you can increase the sub level by 6 dB if you are using 1 sub in your application. As an alternative you can decrease the top level by 6 dB.

ELECT AMPLIFIER TYPE

Select the power amp type connected to the DSP 600 using the parameter Amp. Please note there are multiple entries for an amplifier type if the amplifier allows different sensitivity settings.

Q: 4.3

If the amplifier type connected to the DSP 600 is not included in the list, select the entry User. In this case you have to adjust the parameter Gain manually. Check the technical specification of your amplifier for the gain value.

If the correct gain value is unknown set the parameter Amp to Default. For this setting a gain of 39dB is used, this is sufficient for most amplifiers. By selecting the right amplifier type the limiter settings of the channel are adapted automatically, so the connected speakers are protected as required. Ensure the level of the amplifier is set to 0dB to get the maximum power from the amps.

ONFIGURE DELAY

The DSP 600 can be used to compensate for the positioning of cabinets or speaker arrays relative to each other or the original sound source. Press the SPEAKER Delay button for adjusting one or more output channels and select Active in this dialog. Select the prefered Unit (using cm as unit is recommended) and edit the setting of the parameter Delay.

Setting the correct Delay value is important to avoid acoustic cancellation of signals. E.g. when using the two fullrange channels of the configuration "2way + FR" as delay lines, the Delay of this two channels has to be adjusted according to the distance to the main PA. If all connected speakers are used as a delay line, or the main PA should be moved acoustically „back to the stage”, the input delay parameter of input channels A and/or B should be used in this cases. Press the USER Delay button to use the input delay, up to 2 seconds of delay are available for each input.

ONFIGURE EQUALIZER

Use the GEQ (31 band) and PEQ (10 band) of each input channel for adjusting the sound of your system to your room characteristics. Press the USER PEQ or GEQ button to open the equalizer dialogs.

3 Controls & Connection

3.1 Front Panel

1 – USB CONNECTOR

USB 1.1 port for connection to a PC running Windows XP, Vista or 7. With a connected PC you may run the IRIS-Net Application. The DSP 600 can be operated, edited and configured with an easy to use, intuitive interface. Any available firmware updates downloadable from www.dynacord.com can be loaded via the USB port as well; allowing for easy updates.

2 – INPUT

The DSP 600 does not itself have input level controls. Proper input level adjustment is accomplished by setting the output level from the (L / R) bus outputs from the connected mixer (or other audio output device), as the vast majority of today’s mixer-outputs are dBu calibrated. When the mixer is operating at optimal levels, so is the DSP 600. The input meters monitor the input level of either analog or AES-EBU inputs, depending on the input mode selection set in the Setup Menu. Optimal signal-to-noise performance is obtained when the nominal (average), input level consistently lights the +6dBu (green) and +12dBu (Yellow) LED indicators. As the DSP 600 is a digital audio device – and digital clipping produces very unpleasant results, the Clip (red) LED should not light. If the DSP 600’s input does clip, reduce the output level of the connected mixer. The -6dB PAD can be used for adjusting the input level also.

3 – LCD

The back-lit, 192 x 32 graphic LCD display allows for operation and editing of the DSP 600 without the need for an attached PC. The contrast can be set in the Setup Menu for varying lighting conditions and viewing angles. The LCD display works in conjunction with Menu buttons, < SELECT > buttons and VALUE up/down buttons - to operate, navigate and edit the DSP 600’s parameters. In Run mode, the LCD displays the number and name of the currently selected factory or user preset. Pressing the Recall or Store buttons switches to their respective menus. Pressing the Edit or Setup menu buttons switches the display to the last edited parameter. In Edit and Setup mode, the top line of the LCD display shows the currently selected parameter edit screen. Use the < SELECT > buttons to activate the top line of the display, and the VALUE up/down buttons to scroll through available parameter edit screens.

UTPUT LEVEL METERS

20 – O

Each output channel has an eight-segment output level VU meter. Meter response characteristics can be selected in the Setup menu:

•Normal Fast,

•Peak-Hold,

•Slow Decay.

The yellow segment indicates that there is no headroom left to the selected VU reference i.E. D/A Converter Clip or Limiter Threshold. The red segments indicates clipping within the output signal path and should be avoided by adjusting the Output Level of the output channel. It is important to understand how the meters work and what they are displaying. The Output Meters are displayed as “dB to Limiter Threshold” or „dB to D/A clip”. In other words, these meters will display the headroom between the output level and the limiter threshold or clip threshold of the D/A converter. When viewed in conjunction with the Gain Reduction meters, this provides a complete display of level and headroom before and after limiting has been engaged to allow system levels to be optimized. This also means that the output metering will be displayed differently depending on the limiter threshold setting.

UTPUT GAIN REDUCTION METERS

21 – O

Each output channel has a four-segment gain reduction meter that shows the effect of the output channel Limiter on output signal; from -3dB to -12dB.

UTPUT CHANNEL MUTE BUTTONS

22 – O

Each output channel has a lighted Mute button. Pressing the Mute button turns off the output of that channel. The button lights red as an alert. Press the Mute button again to restore the output channel’s signal. Output channels may also be muted from IRIS-Net Application, if the unit is connected to a PC. Muting a channel in any window of the application will light the channel Mute button on the front panel of the unit as well.

Each output channel has a four-segment function display for informational purposes only. For any given configuration possible with the DSP 600, an output channel may be identified as a sub, low, low/mid, mid, mid/hi, hi or full range output. One or two adjacent LED are displayed to indicate all possible output bandpasses. (Full range is indicated by no lit LED’s.)

3.2 Rear Panel

DSP 600

24 – A.C. INLET

The DSP 600 features a standard IEC A.C. inlet that will accept universal power cords. The DSP 600 power supply is auto-ranging and can accept voltages from 100 to 240 V AC, 50 to 6 0 Hz. Only A.C. cords approved for use in yo ur country should be connected to the DSP 600.

25 – A.C.

FUSE

The A.C. inlet includes a fuse holder that contains the mains fuse as well as a spare fuse. If necessary, replace the fuse only with a specified 5x20mm, T800 mA, L250 V replacement. Disconnect A.C. power before replacing a fuse. Before turning the unit back on, assess the condition of the A.C. receptacle powering the DSP 600. If fuses continue to blow, refer servicing of the DSP 600 only to qualified service personnel.

26 – A.C.

POWER SWITCH

The A.C. power switch turns power to the DSP 600 On and Off.

27 – CONTROL PORT

The CONTROL PORT of the DSP 600 provides five control inputs and a reference connection for ground. The control inputs can be used for the recall of presets.

28 – ETHERNET

INTERFACE

A computer and/or other ethernet devices (e.g. DSP 600, P 64) can be connected via the Ethernet interface for 100BaseTX / 10Base-T Ethernet networks. Normally this connection is established via a standard (straight through) Ethernet cable and an Ethernet hub or a switch. The DSP 600 can be connected directly with a computer or another DSP 600 using a standard or crossover Ethernet cable.

ALANCED XLR OUTPUTS

29 – B

Each output channel has an electronically balanced XLR connector for connection to system amplifiers. Each output channel can output different frequency ranges depending on its assignment and cross-over settings.

CAUTION: Care must be taken to assure that each output is connected to an appropriate amplifier and loud-

speaker to avoid damage or unexpected results. Note that a new preset may change the assignment of channel and its frequency range. For instance an output assigned to Hi frequency speakers in one preset, may be assigned as a sub output in another. See “Configurations of the DSP 600”.

30 – AES/EBU THRU

PORT

The AES/EBU THRU port allows looping-through the digital audio signal to other devices. The digital input signal gets internally buffered and preprocessed (level matching / slew rate) before it is output via the THRU connector. This allows fairly simple wiring between devices, without the need for AES/EBU distribution amps as they are usually used. The DSP 600 has a bypass-relay, which, in case of damage (e.g. power outage), connects the AES/EBU INPUT signal directly to AES/EBU THRU. This ensures trouble-free operation of downstream devices.

31 – AES/EBU INPUT

In addition to the analog audio inputs, an AES/EBU digital stereo input is provided and selectable in the Setup menu. The input conforms to IEC standard 60958 Type I. Connections must be made with three conductor, 110-Ohm, twisted pair cabling and an XLR connector. Digital audio signals in AES3 format with a sample rate from 32 kHz to 192 kHz can be connected. Please note that the maximum cable length depends on the sample rate.

32 – LOCK LED

The LOCK LED lights green as soon as the AES/EBU input has been synchronized to the incoming signal and thus proper audio transmission has been established. The LOCK LED is dimmed with no digital audio signal being present at the input or the internal PLL not having locked on to the incoming signal.

ALANCED XLR THRU

33 – B

Each analog audio input is connected to an electronically buffered and balanced output as a through connector. The signal does not run through any digital conversion or processing. These connectors are used to pass input audio to a second DSP 600 used as a slave or to other audio inputs in the system.

DYNACORD

34 – BALANCED XLR INPUT

Each input has an electronically balanced, locking XLR connector. In stereo or dual modes, connections to both inputs must be made. In mono modes, only one connection need be made, typically to Input A.

35 – 6

DB LED

Input levels to the DSP 600 can be reduced 6dB prior to the A/D converter to compensate for higher-level output from mixers and other audio devices. For ideal signal to noise performance when connecting the DSP 600 to high output level devices engage the 6dB PAD rather than turning down the output of the connected device. The DSP 600‘s Input level Meters (2) will indicate incoming signal level and whether attenuation is required. This LED is permanently yellow when the 6dB PAD is activated.

3.3 Installation

For proper operation, all directions regarding installation and connection must be followed.

OUNTING

The DSP 600 should be mounted in a rack-mount enclosure or rack rails. The unit is 1RU tall by 14” (353mm) deep. Proper clearance for air circulation around the unit must be provided. Do not block any vent holes on the unit. All four mounting points provided by the rack ears must be secured.

OWER CONNECTION

The DSP 600 must be connected to A.C. power only by means of the provided IEC A.C. cable or by a power cable provided by the dealer / installer to match the configuration of your country or region. The DSP 600 must only be connected to a properly wired, three pin, grounded A.C. outlet. A.C. power must range from 100 to 240 V AC, 50 to 60Hz. The DSP 600 internal power supply is an auto-ranging design; no adjustments are necessary to configure it for proper A.C. power.

UDIO CABLES (ANALOG)

Always use correctly shielded audio cables when connecting to the DSP 600.

Balanced Input / Output Connections

To minimize induced noise caused by audio cables and to maximize the length of cables used, balanced connections are strongly advised for both Inputs and Outputs. The XLR jacks provided on the DSP 600 are configured as pin 1 ground, pin 2 hot (+), pin 3 cold (-). Cable shielding must be connected to pin 1. XLR – XLR cables or ¼” tip-ring-sleeve – XLR cables can both be used for balanced connections to the DSP 600.

Illustration 3-1: Balanced audio cables

DSP 600

Un-balanced Input / Output Connections

Un-balanced connections can be made to the DSP 600, although induced noise from cabling may be increased. Cables should also be less than 15‘ (5 m) in length. Unbalanced connections can be 6dB lower in level as well. To match the audio level obtained with a balanced connection, it is necessary to tie pin 3 to ground at the XLR connector. This may increase noise.

Illustration 3-2: Un-balanced audio cables

UDIO CABLE (AES/EBU)

A digital AES/EBU input (AES3) is provided in addition to the analog input. The digital input signal has to be connected to the AES/EBU INPUT connector. The AES/EBU input is a balanced transformer-isolated input. A sampling rate converter translates the input signal to match the internal sampling rate. The XLR jacks provided on the DSP 600 are configured as pin 1 ground, pin 2 hot (+), pin 3 cold (-). Cable shielding must be connected to pin 1. XLR – XLR cables or ¼” tipring-sleeve – XLR cables can both be used for balanced connections to the DSP 600.

HINT: Connections must be made with three conductor, 110-Ohm, twisted pair cabling.

THERNET

By connecting the DSP 600 via the Ethernet interface, communication between the DSP 600 and one or several PCs is possible. This allows the configuration of DSP 600 via IRIS-Net software. The Ethernet interface on the rear of DSP 600 is a RJ-45 connector (8P8C). Both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX Ethernet standards are supported.

Status LEDs

The status of the Ethernet interface is indicated by a orange and a green LED. If the Ethernet interface is not used both LEDs are off. The orange Link LED a the left side of the Ethernet interface lights, when the DSP 600 has established a Ethernet connection to another device, e.g. another DSP 600 or an Ethernet switch. The green network traffic LED at the right side of the Ethernet interface lights when sending or receiving a data packet.

ONTROL PORT

The CONTROL PORT of the DSP 600 provides five control inputs and a reference connection for ground. The control inputs can be activated using external switches, pushbuttons or relays to connect them to ground potential, see following example.

PORT

USB

Connecting the DSP 600 to a PC for operation via IRIS-Net application can also be accomplished via the front panel USB port. The port conforms to the USB 1.1 Type B specification. Type B USB cables are readily available at computer dealers. According to USB specifications, the cable which is connected to this interface must not be longer than 15‘ (5 meters). The USB interface of the DSP 600 is a USB B (female) connector.

DYNACORD

CONNECTION TO AMPLIFIERS

It is very important to confirm correct connection to all amplifiers. The DSP 600 has the ability to configure each output for a specific frequency range; sub, low freq, mid freq, high freq. You must make sure that each output is connected to the correct amplifier and loudspeaker(s). Incorrect connections could lead to unexpected results or damage to loudspeaker components. Note also that each preset in the DSP 600 includes DSP and bandpass parameters for the output channels. It is possible for a new preset to change an output from Hi to Sub, for instance. Make sure that connections to amplifiers and loudspeakers are correct before using a new preset.

NPUT LEVEL ADJUSTMENT

The final step in setting up, installing and connecting the DSP 600 is to set proper input levels to the unit. The DSP 600 does not itself have input level controls. Proper input level setting is accomplished by setting the output level from the (L / R) bus outputs from the connected mixer (or other audio output device). The input meters monitor the input level of either analog or AES/EBU inputs, depending on the input mode selection set in the Setup Menu. Optimal signal-tonoise performance is obtained when the nominal (average), input level consistently lights the +6dBu (green) and +12dBu (Yellow) LED indicators. As the DSP 600 is a digital audio device – and digital clipping produces very unpleasant results – the Clip (red) LED should never light. If it does, reduce the output level of the connected mixer. Input levels to the DSP 600 can be reduced 6dB to compensate for higher-level output from mixers and other audio devices. For ideal signal to noise performance when connecting the DSP 600 to high output level devices, engage the 6dB PAD rather than turning down the output of the connected device.

Sound travels at different speeds depending on the density of the surrounding air it is traveling through. Cold air is denser than warm air thus, travels slower than it would if the air was warmer. Temperature can have a major influence with greater distances, particularly with respect to widely separated speaker arrays surrounding the audience for example. Temperatures might vary wildly between an indoor environment and an outdoor evening environment for example. V = 331m/s + (0.6m/s/C) * T The speed of sound at room temperature is 346 meters per second. At freezing temperatures sound travels at 331 meters per second. V is the speed of sound and T is the temperature of the air. This formula finds the average speed of sound for any given temperature (celcius). The speed of sound is also affected by other factors such as humidity and air pressure.

Additionally a floating DYNACORD logo is shown instead of the run-time screen.

5.2 Level Meters

INPUT SIGNALS

During operation, the left and right input level meters display the signal present at the DSP 600’s analog and Digital inputs. The DSP 600 does not itself have input level controls. Proper input level setting is accomplished by setting the output level from the (L / R) bus outputs from the connected mixer or other audio source. Optimal signal-to-noise performance is obtained when the nominal (average), input level consistently lights the +6dBu (green) and +12dBu (yellow) LED indicators. As the DSP 600 is a digital audio device – and digital clipping produces very un pleasant results – the Clip (red) LED should never light. If it does, reduce the output level of the connected mixer. The -6dB PAD can be used for adjusting the input level also.

Illustration 5-1: Level meters of input channels

UTPUT SIGNALS

Each output channel has an eight-segment output level VU meter. Meter response characteristics can be selected in the Setup menu:

•Normal fast

•Peak Hold

•Slow decay.

DSP 600

Illustration 5-2: Level meters of output channel

The yellow segment indicates that limiting is being applied to the output channel. It is important to understand how the meters work and what they are displaying. The Output Meters are displayed as „dB to Limiter Threshold” or „dB to D/ A clip”. In other words, these meters will display the headroom between the output level and the limiter threshold or clip threshold of the D/A converter. When viewed in conjunction with the Gain Reduction meters, this provides a complete display of level and headroom before and after limiting has been engaged to allow system levels to be optimized. This also means that the output metering will be displayed differently depending on the limiter threshold setting. The red segments indicates clipping of the output signal and should be avoided by adjusting the Output Level setting of the output channel.

5.3 Output Gain Reduction Meters

Each output channel has a four-segment gain reduction meter that shows the effect of the output channel Limiter on output signal; from -3dB to -12dB. Output limiting can be bypassed by entering Edit mode, selecting Output Channel Limiter and selecting the Bypass parameter.

The DSP 600 defaults to Standard Edit mode wherein, input and output channel parameters are appropriately linked.

Refer to the illustrations in chapter “Configurations of the DSP 600” on page 36 to see which channels are parameterlinked for each configuration. Linked parameters are always identical in value. For instance, setting a graphic eq curve for Input A, sets the same curve for Input B, if the configuration has linked stereo inputs. Either input channel can be edited; changes will be reflected in both. The same is true for parameters of linked output channels. The only exception to the linking of parameters is the Mute buttons. Output channels can be individually muted at any time, either from the DSP 600 front panel or the IRIS-Net application.

ULL EDIT MODE

In the Setup EDITING menu, the edit mode can be changed to Full. In Full Edit, no parameter links are enforced, regardless of the configuration selected. Any parameter can be changed without any effect on other parameter values.

Regardless of the edit mode selected, there are two means to enter edit mode: pressing the Edit button or pressing any DSP block button. Use the < SELECT > buttons to navigate to the top line of any edit screen, and the Value Up and Down buttons to navigate to any other Edit screen. As a short-cut, press a DSP block button to jump to the last selected screen of said block and navigate as above to reach the desired screen.

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY DIFFERENT DELAY SECTIONS?

When configuring a PA or loudspeaker system, there are a variety of different scenarios that will require time alignment or delay compensation. Some of the different scenarios are:

• Delaying a set of loudspeakers to act as under-balcony fills or delay towers in a concert PA

• Aligning a PA system to the sound source on a stage, or aligning the "tops" to the "subs"

• Timing correction to compensate for the offset acoustic centers of individual transducers within a loudspeaker cabinet

• Delay offset for one or more loudspeakers in a cluster to improve coverage and overlap effects

Some applications will only encounter a few of these needs, while others will encounter all of them, such as in a theater with a center cluster of horn-loaded loudspeakers, subwoofers, and under balcony delay speakers. With other DSP products, a designer must make use of only one or two delay sections, which means that a designer must carefully think about how to calculate delays, how to add offsets to individual channels so that delay section can perform multiple tasks. This can result in a confusing DSP structure and more potential for delays being adjusted improperly. The DSP 600 provides dedicated delay sections to perform each of these delay scenarios independently, which provides easier setup, adjustment and programming.

SIGNAL GENERATOR

The integrated signal generator of the DSP 600 can generate following signal types:

•Sine signal

•White Noise

• Pink Noise

Please see page 20 for details about available parameters and configuring the signal generator.

NPUT PARAMETRIC EQ (PEQ)

Use the < SELECT > buttons to make the top line of the Edit screen active and the Value Up and Down buttons to navigate to the Input PEQ screen. The DSP 600 provides a stereo 10-band multi-mode filter generically referred to as the Input PEQ (Parametric Equalizer).

The Input PEQ is a very powerful and complex set of multi-mode filters. Care must be given configuring these filter bands, as they interact and can produce unexpected results. Using the IRIS-Net application is strongly recommended to set all but the most simple eq curves. Each band of the Input PEQ can be configured for a specific filter type, frequency, slope or Q and gain setting. Attention must be paid to the ultimate output gain through the rest of the DSP 600’s audio path, as it is possible to boost frequency ranges to the point where the internal or external audio paths of the system may be clipped. Monitoring the output VU meters of the DSP 600’s output channels will indicate internal clipping; the input meters of connected amplifiers should do the same. The following section details the type of filters that can be selected for each of the Input PEQ’s 10 bands and their parameters.

Low shelf (Loshelv)

The Low-shelf filter is a “hinge” type; in that frequencies below its frequency setting can be boosted or cut; hinging on the cut-off Frequency. The amount of boost or cut (Gain), and the extent of width of the filter’s transition band (Slope), are determined by the low-shelf filter’s settings. (See Response/Q and Gain.) Use the < SELECT > buttons to navigate to the filter setting you wish to adjust, and the Value Up and Down buttons to alter these settings. Press the Value Up and Down buttons once to increment values by one unit, or press and hold to scroll rapidly through available values. (Values do not wrap around.)

Hi shelf (Hishelv)

The Hi-shelf filter is a “hinge” type; in that frequencies above its frequency setting can be boosted or cut; hinging on the cut-off Frequency. The amount of boost or cut (Gain), and the width of the filter’s transition band (Slope), are determined by the hi-shelf filter’s settings. (See Response/Q and Gain.) Use the < SELECT > buttons to navigate to the filter setting you wish to adjust, and the Value Up and Down buttons to alter these settings. Press the Value Up and Down buttons once to increment values by one unit, or press and hold to scroll rapidly through available values. (Values do not wrap-around.)

PEQ

PEQ is shorthand for Parametric Equalizer. A parametric equalizer has three parameters that determine the frequencies that are affected by it; Center Frequency, Q (filter-width) and Gain. Parametric filters are ideal for identifying, isolating and correcting problematic frequency ranges. The Frequency parameter determines the center of a range of frequencies that will be adjusted by the PEQ. The Q parameter will determine the range of frequencies adjacent to the center frequency that will also be effected; the greater the value, the smaller the range of adjacent frequencies that will be effected. The gain parameter determines the amount of boost or cut that is applied to the frequencies that are affected by the filter. Use the < SELECT > buttons to navigate to the filter setting you wish to adjust, and the Value Up and Down buttons to alter these settings. Press the Value Up and Down buttons once to increment values by one unit, or press and hold to scroll rapidly through available values. (Values do not wrap-around.)

Low-pass (Lopass)

The Low-Pass filter determines the ultimate high frequency that your sound reinforcement system is allowed to reproduce; given the capabilities of amplifiers, speakers and transducers. The low-pass filter is useful for reducing excessive high frequency energy that can create stress on high frequency transducers and listener fatigue. Available parameters are Frequency and Slope. The frequency parameter determines the frequency above which frequencies will be attenuated. The slope determines how quickly frequencies above the cutoff frequency will be attenuated. (See response curve.) Use the < SELECT > buttons to navigate to the filter setting you wish to adjust, and the Value Up and Down buttons to alter these settings. Press the Value Up and Down buttons once to increment values by one unit, or press and hold to scroll rapidly through available values. (Values do not wrap-around.)

High-pass (Hipass)

The Hi-Pass filter determines the ultimate low frequency that your sound reinforcement system is allowed to reproduce; given the capabilities of amplifiers, speakers and transducers. Available parameters are Frequency and Slope. The frequency parameter determines the frequency below which frequencies will be attenuated. The slope determines how quickly frequencies below that will be attenuated. (See response curve.) Use the < SELECT > buttons to navigate to the filter setting you wish to adjust, and the Value Up and Down buttons to alter these settings. Press the Value Up and Down buttons once to increment values by one unit, or press and hold to scroll rapidly through available values. (Values do not wrap-around.)

NPUT GRAPHIC EQ (GEQ)

Use the < SELECT > buttons to make the top line of the Edit screen active and the Value Up and Down buttons to navigate to the Input GEQ screen. The DSP 600’s input signal path includes a stereo 31-band graphic equalizer after the stereo 10-band PEQ in the signal path. This DSP block can be used for very precisely identifying, isolating and correcting problematic frequency ranges. Keep in mind that changes to the Input GEQ will be interactive with adjustments made in the Input PEQ. Unexpected results can occur.

Overview

Press the < SELECT > buttons to move the cursor down into the GEQ frequency adjustment field. Subsequent presses of the < SELECT > buttons will move the cursor forward or backwards through the frequency adjustment field; from band to band. The selected frequency’s “fader” is highlighted in the display. As each band is selected, its center frequency and current cut/boost setting is displayed on the top line of the LCD display.

To adjust the amount of boost or cut for a selected frequency band, select the band with the < SELECT > buttons and press the Value Up or Down buttons as required. The LCD display will reflect your changes by moving the selected frequency band’s “fader” up or down.

NPUT DELAY

The DSP 600 offers an input delay that is useful for compensating for different arrival times of sound originating from loudspeakers that are closer or further away from the listener than others. A technique known as the Haas Effect allows the operator to create the illusion that all of the sound has originated from the stage even though additional speakers have been placed around the room.

HINT: The Input Delay parameter is especially usefull for delay lines. In this case the required delay depends only

on the position of the delay line and is identical for all ways, e.g. output channels of the DSP 600. By editing t h e I n p u t D e l a y p a r a m e t e r t h e d e l a y s o f a l l o u t p u t c h a n n e l s r o u t e d t o t h i s i n p u t a r e a d j u s t e d a u t o m a t i c a l l y .

Available Input Delay parameters are Delay, Units and Active/Bypass. The Delay parameter allows the user to determine the Delay time values and the Active/Bypass parameter to activate or deactivate the delay.
