Taking Your System to the Next Level

Ask yourself these questions:

How do I get the most out of my Electro-Voice PA? DC-One provides all the tools to optimize your system

with ease. Factory designed presets are available at the push of a button to automatically configure

processing, including equalization and crossovers, that is unique to your setup. Not only does this provide

the highest sonic performance, it also protects your loudspeaker components for maximum longevity.

How do I manage multiple rental systems? DC-One is designed to handle a multitude of applications

with varying degrees of access to control parameters. One event may call for a small, portable system

with limited access for simple house EQ, while another may need a larger system with deeper access

to crossover and limiter functions. In any case, DC-One can be configured to the situation, scaled up or

down, sophisticated or simple, always protecting your investment.

What level of control is available? DC-One gives experienced system designers a full complement of

precision tools for loudspeaker management and tuning normally associated with more expensive units. The

user friendly software interface allows complete control of all parameters for the most critical applications,

from house of worship to high-end club installations.
