• L'apparecchio è stato costruito dalla HK AUDIO®secondo la normativa
europea IEC 60065 ed ha lasciato il nostro stabilimento in stato inec­cepibile. Per garantire il mantenimento di tale stato e un utilizzo asso­lutamente privo di rischi l'utente è tenuto ad osservare le indicazioni e
gli avvertimenti di sicurezza contenuti nelle istruzioni per l'uso. L'appa­recchio rispecchia il livello di sicurezza I (collegato a terra).

• Sicurezza, affidabilità e prestazioni dell'apparecchio vengono garantiti
dalla
HK AUDIO

®

solo ed esclusivamente se:

• Montaggio, ampliamento, rimessa a punto, modifiche e riparazioni ven­gono eseguite dalla HK AUDIO

®

stessa o da personale da essa autorizza-

to.

• Gli impianti elettrici nei locali prescelti per l'uso dell'apparecchio rispon­dono alle normative stabilite dall'ANSI.

• L'apparecchio viene utilizzato come indicato nel libretto delle istruzioni
per l'uso.

Avvertimenti:

• In caso di apertura di parti di rivestimento o rimozione di parti dell'invo­lucro,
a meno che non si tratti di pezzi rimovibili semplicemente a mano, pos­sono venire alla luce parti dell'apparecchio conduttrici di tensione.

• Se l'apertura dell'apparecchio dovesse risultare necessaria è indispens­abile staccare precedentemente quest'ultimo da tutte le fonti di tensio­ne. Rispettare tale misura di prevenzione anche prima di un allineamen­to, di operazioni di manutenzione, della messa in esercizio o della sosti­tuzione di componenti
all'interno dell'apparecchio.

• Allineamento, operazioni di manutenzione o eventuali riparazioni dell'­apparecchio in presenza di tensione vanno eseguite esclusivamente da
personale specializzato ed autorizzato, in grado di eseguire tali operazio­ni evitandone
i rischi connessi.

• Le uscite degli altoparlanti contrassegnate dai caratteri IEC 417/5036
(vedi illustrazione 1 a fondo pag.) possono essere conduttrici di tensione
pericolosa con cui evitare il contatto. Per questo motivo, prima di accen­dere l'apparecchio, collegare quest'ultimo agli altoparlanti servendosi es­clusivamente del cavetto d'allacciamento indicato dal produttore.

•Tutte le spine e i cavi di collegamento devono essere avvitati o fissati
all'involucro dell'apparecchio per quanto possibile.

• Utilizzare esclusivamente fusibili del tipo IEC 127 con la indicata corren­te nominale.

• L'utilizzo di fusibili di sicurezza non integri e la messa in corto circuito
del sostegno di metallo sono proibite.

• Non interrompere mai il collegamento con il circuito di protezione.

• Superfici contrassegnate dalla parola "HOT" (vedi illustrazione 2 a fondo
pag.), cosi come griglie di aerazione, dispositivi di raffreddamento e i
loro rivestimenti di protezione, oppure valvole e i relativi rivestimenti
protettivi possono surriscaldarsi notevolmente durante l'uso e per que­sto motivo non vanno toccate.

• L'ascolto di suoni ad alto volume può provocare danni permanenti all'u­dito. Evitate perciò la diretta vicinanza con altoparlanti ad alta emissione
di suono
e utilizzate cuffie protettive in caso ciò non sia possibile.

Alimentazione:

• L'apparecchio è concepito per il funzionamento continuo.

• La tensione di esercizio deve corrispondere alla tensione di rete a cui ci
si allaccia.

• L'allacciamento alla rete elettrica avviene tramite alimentatore o cavetto
d'alimentazione consegnato insieme all'apparecchio.

• Alimentatore: un cavo di connessione danneggiato non può essere sosti­tuito. L'alimentatore non può più essere utilizzato.

•Evitate un allacciamento alla rete di corrente utilizzando cassette di
distribuzione sovraccariche.

• La spina di corrente deve essere situata nelle vicinanze dell'apparecchio
e facilmente raggiungibile in qualsiasi momento.

Locali di collocamento:

• Opportuno collocare l'apparecchio su una superficie pulita e orizzontale.

• Non sottoporre l'apparecchio in funzione a scosse e vibrazioni.

• Proteggere l'apparecchio per quanto possibile da umidità e polvere.

• Non collocare l'apparecchio vicino ad acqua, vasche da bagno, lavandini,
lavelli da cucina, locali umidi o piscine. Non appoggiare recipienti conte­nenti liquidi - vasi, bicchieri, bottiglie, ecc. - sull'apparecchio.

• Provvedere ad una buone aerazione dell'apparecchio.

•Eventuali aperture previste per la ventilazione dell'apparecchio non van­no ne bloccate, ne mai coperte. L'apparecchio va collocato ad almeno 20
cm di distanza dalle pareti circostanti e può essere inserito tra altre com­ponenti di un impianto solo in caso di sufficiente ventilazione e qualora
le direttive di montaggio del produttore vengano rispettate.

•Evitare di esporre l'apparecchio ai raggi del sole e di collocarlo diretta­mente nelle vicinanze di fonti di calore come caloriferi, stufette, ecc.

• Se l'apparecchio viene trasportato rapidamente da un locale freddo ad
uno riscaldato può succedere che al suo interno si crei della condensa.
Ciò va tenuto in considerazione soprattutto in caso di apparecchi a val­vole. Attendere che l'apparecchio abbia assunto la temperatura ambiente
prima di accenderlo.

• Accessori: non collocare l'apparecchio su carrelli, supporti, treppiedi, su­perfici o tavoli instabili. Se l'apparecchio dovesse cadere a terra potrebbe
causare danni a terzi o danneggiarsi irreparabilmente. Utilizzate per il
collocamento dell'apparecchio supporti, treppiedi e superfici che siano
consigliate dal produttore o direttamente comprese nell'offerta di ven­dita. Per il collocamento dell'apparecchio attenetevi strettamente alle
istruzioni del produttore, utilizzando esclusivamente accessori da esso
consigliati. L'apparecchio in combinazione ad un supporto va spostato
con molta attenzione. Movimenti bruschi o il collocamento su pavimenti
non piani possono provocare la caduta dell'apparecchio e del suo sup­porto.

• Accessori supplementari: non utilizzate mai accessori supplementari che
non siano consigliati dal produttore, potendo essere ciò causa di inci­denti.

• Per proteggere l'apparecchio in caso di temporali o nel caso questo non
venisse utilizzato per diverso tempo si consiglia di staccarne la spina di
corrente.
In questo modo si evitano danni all'apparecchio dovuti a colpi di fulmine
o ad improvvisi aumenti di tensione nel circuito di corrente alternata.

English

The HK Audio DSM 2060 digital speaker manage­ment system represent the current state-of-the­art. Taking advantages of the latest advances in
analogue to digital conversion and digital signal
processing technologies the units achieve perfor­mance levels that have only recently been made
possible.

1 Quick Reference

Guide

Display

The LCD displays preset and parameter inform­ation. The default screen is shown after start up
and displays the number and name of the current
preset on the lower line of text. When navigating
around the adjustable parameters, other
information is shown.

Channel Select Buttons

The currently selected input or output channel is
shown in the top left corner of the display.
Pressing the channel select buttons scrolls
through the available inputs and outputs. If
operating stereo linked the channel pair is shown.
For example ‘CH A+B’ means both input A and B
parameters.

Edit Select Buttons

The name of the edit parameter page is displayed
in the bottom left portion of the LCD. Pressing
the edit select buttons moves through the
available parameter pages for the current input or
output.

Parameter Knobs

Up to three parameters (A, B, C) are shown on
the display. The parameter name is shown with
its’ current value below. Where appropriate, para­meters are grouped according to function. For
example the parametric equalisation page shows
centre frequency, width and gain. Turning a para­meter knob clockwise will increase the value of a
parameter, turning anti-clockwise will decrease it.
Turning a knob rapidly will cause the action to
‘accelerate’, so the value changes more rapidly.

Mute Buttons

The LEDs next to the mute buttons indicate their
current status. Pressing a mute button toggles
between the mute on and off.

Store Button

The unit has 45 preset locations. To store a preset
in a location, press the store button and use the
parameter knobs to select the preset location and
name the preset. Pressing the store button again
completes the task. Pressing any button other
than store during the process cancels the
procedure.

Recall Button

To recall a preset, press the recall button and use
parameter knob A to select the required preset.
Pressing the recall button again will activate the
preset. You will then be asked to confirm by pres­sing recall once more. As with the store function,
pressing any button other will cancel the process.

2 Front Panel

Input Signal Indicators

The signal present LEDs operate at approximately
–40 dBu, giving a useful indication of even
relatively low input signal levels. The yellow LEDs
are intended to show nominal operating level and
can also be useful for setting system gain
structure. Clip LEDs warn the user of input over­load and operate at +19 dBu.

Preset Store and Recall

These controls provide access to the 45 presets
stored within the device. Pressing the store
button allows the user to name a preset and
choose which memory location it will be held in.
Pressing store button again completes the
process. The Recall function operates in a similar
way, pressing the recall button allows the user to
select which preset they require, pressing the
button for a second time, then confirming, recalls
the new DSP settings.

Note that presets cannot be stored or recalled
when Secure mode is activated.

Channel Select Buttons

The currently selected channel is displayed on the
top left hand corner of the LCD. Pressing the
channel buttons scrolls through the available
input and output channels and finally through the
utility functions and back to the default screen. If
operating a stereo linked preset, the channel
name will indicate the channel pairing. For
example ‘A+B’ means both input A and B para­meters. The name of the output will be shown
briefly at the top of the display when stepping
onto an output.

Edit Select Buttons

The currently selected edit parameter page is
displayed on the bottom left corner of the LCD.
Pressing the edit select buttons moves through
the available parameters for the current input or
output.

Text Display

Preset, channel, parameter and status
information is shown on the 2x 24-character text
display. In most screens the currently selected
channel is displayed on the upper line and the
edit parameter on the lower line. To simplify the
display and enhance security, some parameters or
parameter pages are omitted when not relevant.

Parameter Knobs A, B, C

Three velocity sensitive parameter knobs are used
to adjust parameters shown on the display. Up to
three parameters at a time are displayed on the
screen. The parameter name is shown above the
parameter value in each of the three screen
sections. The parameter knobs have a fixed
association with the screen sections; the right­most parameter knob adjusts the rightmost
parameter and so on.

Output Signal / Limiter Indication

Two LEDs are provided for each output channel.
These show the signal level relative to the limiter
threshold. The green LED will light when the
signal is 6dB below the threshold and the red
warning LED will light when the limiter threshold
is reached.

Mute Buttons and Status LEDs

Each output has a mute button and associated
mute status LED. Pressing the button toggles the
mute on and off.

Note that the mute buttons do not function when
the Secure mode is activated.

DSM 2060 Manual 1.0

3 Rear Panel

Power Inlet

The DSM 2060 unit should be connected to a
suitable mains electricity supply using the cable
supplied. The processor has a switch mode power
supply that is capable of operating with a nominal
mains voltage of 85V to 240V, 50/60Hz without
re-configuration.

Expansion Port

Where a future option card can be fitted.

Secure Button

A momentary button is fitted behind the rear
panel, between the output XLRs and the RS232
port. When activated, this will disable all the front
panel controls so they cannot affect the signal
path, making the unit secure against tampering.
When in secure mode, the indicators still operate
normally. Note that the communications port is
still active in secure mode.

Audio Input Connectors

All audio connections are fully balanced and wired
pin-1 ground, pin-2 hot & pin-3 cold. The two
inputs have pin-1 connected directly to the chassis
and feed the signal processing chains. If an
unbalanced source is used, a connection should
be made between the pin-3 ‘cold’ signal and the
ground connection of the unbalanced source.

Audio Output Connectors

The processed outputs are impedance balanced,
and wired pin-1 ground, pin-2 hot and pin-3 cold.
An unbalanced input may be driven by connecting
pin-3 ‘cold’ signal to the ground connection of the
unbalanced destination input. Note that output
pin-1’s are ground lifted at audio frequencies but
connected to ground at RF for good EMC perfor­mance. The intention being that the amplifiers
the processor is driving should be responsible for
the grounding of their input cable shields.

Communications Port Connector

The DSM 2060 may be controlled entirely from
another controller, typically a Personal Computer,
running an application that is compliant with the
ObCom standard. Connection will normally be
made to the controller via this serial port
connector. This port is also used for updating the
firmware in the unit.

Note that the communications port is NOT
disabled when the front panel is made secure
using the secure button.

4 Operation

Starting up

The unit will energise as soon as power is applied
to the IEC inlet; there is no power switch. During
the start up process the firmware application
model number and version numbers are displayed
and the outputs are muted until the unit has
completed its internal checks. Once the start-up
routines are complete and the unit is ready to
pass audio. The DSP signal path will be restored
to the current settings when it was last powered
down and the audio signal is gradually ramped up
to its correct level.

Selecting a Factory Preset

The DSM 2060 has got a library of Factory Presets
designed to suit a range of applications.
Factory Presets contain some parameters that are
fixed and hidden from view; the remainder of the
DSP parameters are available for user manipulati­on. The number and type of hidden parameters is
dependant on the Factory Preset, typically cross­over frequencies, output delay and some EQ’s are
hidden; those settings that are a function of the
loudspeaker cabinet design and should not
require adjustment for different applications.
To recall a Factory Preset for a particular cabinet
or system, press Recall and use the left hand
parameter knob A to scroll through the available
Factory Preset locations (as indicated by a box
symbol after the preset number). Once the
appropriate preset has been selected press recall
again, at which point you will be asked to confirm
the action by pressing recall for a third time. This
is to guard against accidental recall of presets.
Factory Presets are locked so they cannot be over­written. The user can, however, store an edited
version of a Factory Preset in any free preset
location.

Creating a Crossover

In addition to the Factory Presets the unit has two
further ‘Base Presets’; mono and stereo. These
Base Presets are stored in locations 1 and 2
respectively, they can be used to develop settings
for any loudspeaker combination and are recalled
in the same way as the Factory Presets described
above. These presets are also locked but the user
can name and store their own edited versions in
any free preset location.

Navigation and Viewing Parameters

Many of the processing elements in each input
and output path have features that may be
controlled by the user, such as gain, frequency or
limiter threshold. We call these adjustable
features parameters.

A parameter may be adjusted when it is displayed
by turning one of the three-parameter knobs.
Each of the three-parameter knobs is associated
with a zone on the display. Adjusting the leftmost
parameter knob will change the value of the para­meter showing in the leftmost zone of the display
and so on. Turn a knob clockwise to increase the
value of a parameter, or anti-clockwise to
decrease it. The knobs are velocity-sensitive so
turning a knob rapidly will cause the action to
‘accelerate’, so the value changes more rapidly.

Navigation

The DSP parameters are organised by channel.
The currently selected channel is shown in the top
left hand corner of the display. You can navigate
between the channels by pressing the channel
buttons. Pressing the channel buttons will scroll
through the channels, utilities and back to the
default screen. When using a Preset that is stereo
linked, the channel selection will reflect this. For
example ‘1&4’ indicates outputs 1 and 4. When
navigating onto an output channel, the usage of
the output, as define in the Factory Preset, will be
shown briefly at the top of the screen.

Pressing the edit navigation buttons gives access
to the various pages of parameters available for
each channel. The currently selected page is
shown in the bottom left hand corner of the
display, this is omitted on some pages where the
function is obvious. The screen shows up to three
(normally related) parameters for a given part of
the processing functions on a given channel.
The edit buttons allow you to scroll, in either
direction, through the different processing pages
for a given Channel. When you go past the last
page, you will be returned to the default page.
The channel buttons allow you to scroll, in either
direction, through the input and output channels,

English

whilst trying to maintain the currently viewed
processing block. If the channel you scroll to does
not have the currently viewed processing block,
the next one will be shown instead.

NB. When the unit powers-up, the settings will be
the same as those when the unit was last
switched off.

Presets

The device contains a total of forty-five user and
Factory Presets. The user cannot overwrite the
basic mono, basic stereo or Factory Preset
programs.

Preset Recall

To select an existing preset, press the Recall
Button so the indicator above it illuminates. Turn
parameter knob A until the required preset
number is shown on the display.

Factory Presets are indicated by a box symbol
appearing after the preset number. Press the
Recall Button again to activate the Preset.
Pressing any other button will cancel the
operation.
Users can develop their own Preset based on one
of the Basic or Factory Presets stored within the
device. Once a basic or user Preset has been re­called, a user has complete freedom to adjust any
or all of the parameters. Factory Presets can be
used as the basis for user Presets but they have
some parameters that are predefined as a
function of the loudspeaker system. These para­meters are ‘hidden’ from the user, as they should
be constant regardless of application.

Preset Store

To store the current Preset in a user location,
press the Preset Store Button so the indicator
above it illuminates. Turn the first parameter knob
until the required Preset location number is show
on the display. A Preset name of up to 12
characters in length can be entered using para­meter knobs B and C. Pressing the Store Button
again completes the process and stores the
Preset. As with Preset Recall, pressing any other
button cancels the operation.

The user can overwrite non-protected Presets
only; if an attempt is made to save a Preset in a
location already occupied by a basic or Factory
Preset a ‘Locked Preset’ message is displayed.

5 DSP Processing layout

Input DSP block diagram

Output DSP block diagram

Stereo / Mono Formats

There is only one ‘standard’ layout of the
processing blocks, but flexible routing and control
linking allows this layout to be adapted to a wide
variety of applications.
There are two ‘Formats’, Mono or Stereo. With
the Mono format, all outputs have unique para­meter settings, and all outputs are identical in
terms of processing functions and routing
capability. This is the most flexible Format.
Stereo format pairs the inputs and outputs for
stereo operation, the parameters of each member
of the pair being identical. The routing of inputs
to outputs is fixed. This format is intended for
symmetrical stereo operation, eliminating the
need to make identical parameter adjustments for
each channel.

The channel pairing is:

• Left and Right Inputs

• 1&4: Outputs 1 (routed from A input)
and 4 (routed from B input)

• 2&5: Outputs 2 (routed from A input)
and 5 (routed from B input)

• 3&6: Outputs 3 (routed from A input)
and 6 (routed from B input)

6 Input Channels

Gain

Knob A: Gain, adjustable in 0.2dB steps from
–80 dB to +20 dB

Delay

Knob A: Delay, adjustable in variable steps from 0
to 400 ms
The delay parameter is adjustable in fine steps at
low values; the adjustment becomes progressively
coarser as the value increases. The velocity
sensitive Parameter Knobs therefore provide
accurate setting of driver offset delays (typically
below 10ms) and rapid setting of longer system
alignment delays.

High Pass Filter

Knob A: Frequency, out (off), 10.0 Hz to 25.6 kHz
in variable steps
Knob B: high pass filter type
System high pass filtering is provided for the
input signal. This is the preferred location for
high pass filtering as it affects alloutputs and can
therefore improve inter-band phase relationships.
Filter type is selectable from Butterworth, Bessel,
Linkwitz-Riley and Hardman. Filter slopes of up to
4th order or 24dB / octave are provided. Not all
filter types are available in all slopes. For example
18dB / octave Linkwitz-Riley filters do not exist.
The Hardman type filter is always described by its’
order as the filter becomes progressively steeper
rather than following a linear slope so a dB/
octave description is not accurate.

Parametric Equalisation

Eight sections of equalisation are provided, two
shelving filters and six fully variable parametric
sections.

High and Low shelving filters

Knob A: Frequency, 10.0 Hz to 25.6 kHz in
variable steps
Knob B: Slope, 6 to 12 dB / octave in 1 dB steps
Knob C: Gain, +/-15dB in 0.2 dB steps
The frequency is specified as point where the filter
deviates by 3 dB from the gain value.

Parametric filters

Knob A, Centre Frequency, 10.0 Hz to 25.6 kHz in
variable steps
Knob B, Width, display selectable, Q or BW
(Bandwidth)
BW adjustable from 0.05 to 5 octaves in variable
steps
Q adjustable from 14.2 to 0.2 in variable steps
Knob C, Gain, +/-15 dB in 0.2dB steps

7 Output Channels

Gain and Polarity

Knob A: Gain, adjustable in 0.2dB steps from
–80 dB to +20 dB
Knob B: Polarity, selectable, normal or reversed
with reference to other outputs

Delay

Knob A: Adjustable in variable steps from 0 to
80 ms
As for input delay, velocity sensitive Parameter
Knobs provide finer adjustment at low levels and
rapid selection of higher values.

High and Low Pass Filters

Knob A: Frequency, <<out, 10.0 Hz to 25.6 kHz,
out>>
Knob B: high pass filter type
Filter type is selectable from Butterworth, Bessel,
Linkwitz-Riley and Hardman. Filter slopes of up to
8th order or 48dB / octave are provided. Not all
filter types are available in all slopes. For example
18dB / octave Linkwitz-Riley filters do not exist.
The Hardman type filter is always described by its’
order as the filter becomes progressively steeper
rather than following a linear slope so a dB/
octave description is not accurate.
