Before startup of the ampliﬁer we ask you to read the safety instructions carefully. Installation according to the following guidelines:

1 - Always put the ampliﬁer onto a smooth and stable lower surface. 2 - Choose a dry surrounding and do not put any liquids onto the ampliﬁer. 3 - Avoid the closeness to heat sources. 4 - Never open the housing of the ampliﬁer without pulling the mains plug out of the socket before. 5 - Only connect the device to 230 VAC/50Hz mains voltage.

Do not block the ventilation slots! Let above, behind and under the device a sufﬁcient space for air circulation. ATTENTION! Be especially careful when dealing with dangerous mains voltage. With this voltage, you can suffer a dangerous electric shock.

This device has left the factory in safety-related correct condition. To maintain this condition and to ensure a safe operation, the user has absolutely to observe the safety instructions and the warning notices which are contained in this instruction manual.

For damages caused by failure to observe these operating instructions, the guarantee will expire. For the subsequent damages, the manufacturer accepts no liability.

Please check before the ﬁrst startup if there is no obvious transport damage. If you discover damages to the mains line or at the housing, please do not take the device into operation and contact your local dealer.

The construction corresponds to the protection class I. The mains plug may only be connected to a mains outlet, which voltage and frequency exactly matches with the type label of the device. Inadequate voltages and sockets can lead to the destruction of the device and to mortal electrical shocks.

Always insert the mains plug at last. Thereby the mains plug has to be inserted without force. Pay attention to a ﬁrm seating of the mains plug.

Do not let the mains line come into contact with other cables. Be careful when dealing with mains lines and -connections. Never touch these parts with clammy hands. Clammy hands can have mortal electric shocks as a consequence.

Do not change, kink, mechanically load, pull or heat mains lines and do not bring them close to heat- or cold sources. Failure to do so may cause damages to the power line, ﬁre or fatal electric shocks.

The cable grommet or the coupling at the device may not be tensioned. Always a sufﬁcient cable length to the device has to be available. Otherwise the cable can be damaged which can lead to mortal electric shocks.

Pay attention that the mains line cannot be squeezed or damaged by sharp edges. Regularly check the device and the mains line for damages.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When lines are used, it has to be ensured that the core cross-section is approved for the needed power supply of the device. All warning indications for the mains line are also valid for possible extension lines.

Disconnect the device when it is not used and before each cleaning. To do so, touch the mains plug at the grip and never pull on the mains line, otherwise the cable and the plug can be damaged, which can lead to mortal electric shocks. If plug or device switch not available f.i. by installation, mains-side an all-pole shutdown has to be carried out.

When the mains plug or the device is dusty, it has to be taken out of operation, the circuit has to be interrupted all-pole and the device has to be cleaned with a dry cloth.

Dust can reduce the isolation which can lead to mortal electric shocks. Stronger dirts in and at the device may only be removed by a specialist.

Under no circumstances liquids of any kind may enter sockets, plug connections or any device openings or device slots.

If it is suspected, that - even minimal - liquids could have entered the device, the device has to to disconnected all-pole immediately.

This is also valid when the device has been exposed to high air humidity. Even if the device still seems to work, it has to be checked by a specialist, if possibly isolations have been affected by the liquid entry. Reduced isolations can cause mortal electric shocks.

No foreign objects may get into the device. This is especially valid for metal parts. Should even smallest metal parts like staples or paper clips or rougher metal swarfs get into the device, the device has to be taken out of operation and disconnected all-pole immediately.

Malfunctions and short circuits caused by metal parts may result in fatal injuries.

The device and its supply lines have to be protected from lightning strikes.

Connect the device only when it is switched off.

Before the device is switched on, all faders and volume controls have to be set to zero or to minimum.

1. CONTROL LEDs AUTOMATIC SYSTEM

Green LED indications light when the automatic mic. system allows an input signal. If the input is not responded, the green control LED remains dark and the input remains closed. Please possibly consider the DIP switch position.

2. CONTROL LEDs PEAK

Red LED indications light when the input signal is too high and the input is overridden. In case of override please change GAIN LEVEL or DIP switch position (MIC.-LINE).

3. CHANNEL VOLUME CONTROL 1 to 9

These controls (level slide controls) determine the volume of the inputs 1 to 9. Please consider the volume controls (limiters) in the display (settings 1-4 VOL, DSP) and the MASTER control or GAIN-LEVEL potentiometer at the rear side.

4. LINE INPUT

Line input (0 dB) with level slide controls, LF and HF-EQ controls for f.i. CD player feed etc. (front input).

5. DeEsser (basics)

If a transmission of the human voice is carried out, it is often necessary for aesthetic reasons, subsequently to raise or to drive the high frequency parts of the reproduction (approx. 2 kHz to 8 kHz) by means of an equalizer. Thereby the voice gets a more robust sound or more presence. Also for pure speech transmissions thereby a voice appears more direct to the most listeners and attracts more attention with the same volume.

A problem occurs with raising the high frequencies of a speech transmission, as the voiceless sibilants (s, ss, ß, sch, z, tz) almost exclusively consist of such frequencies, by amplifying these areas they are reproduced disproportionally loud.

Besides this, this effect is intensiﬁed by the often used compression of the speech signal, as these sounds are indeed perceived as loud, but regarding the technical signal level they are low and can hardly be driven by the compressor. Insofar a reproduction processed in this way sounds very unpleasant, as the sibilants are noticed disproportionally loud and very intrusive.

DeEsser

5. (5.2) DeEsser (function FULL/ automatic)

The De-Esser located in the ampliﬁer system in the system setting „FULL“ at ﬁrst separates the lower from the problematic middle and upper frequencies automatically (in the frequency range 800 Hz to 8 kHz) and then compresses the last, whereby too loud sections are automatically lowered in the level (please consider the setting „ATTENUATION“ Poti No. 5.3). Afterwards both signals are mixed together again. The result is a present and good sounding reproduction of the human voice without obtrusive sibilants (s, ss, ß, sch, z, tz). In system operation of the DeEsser „FULL“ the yellow control LED lights up.

5. (5.3) DeEsser (function SPLIT/ BAND manual)

By pressing the button „DE-ESS BAND“ the DeEsser is activated in SPLIT modes, the green control LED lights up. With manual setting of the DeEsser the lower frequency (start frequency) has to be set with potentiometers No. 5.5. Above this frequency the DeEsser is active.

EXAMPLE:

With Poti No. 5.5 the start frequency is set to the value 3 kHz, that means the frequency band above 3 kHz is controlled by the DeEsser and the powerful, obtrusive sibilants (s, ss, ß, sch, z, tz) are reduced for the value (0 dB to -20 dB) set with the potentiometer No. 5.3 (attenuation).

IMPORTANT:

To reach a better sound result above the 12 kHz frequencies, it is recommended, always to work with active DeEsser and additional function „AIR“.

5.1 Operating mode control LED`s

The green LED lights, when the DeEsser is in „FULL“ mode, the yellow LED lights in operating mode „SPLIT“.

5.2 Selector switch „DE-ESS BAND“ (MODES: FULL/SPLIT)

By operating the selector switch the favoured MODE TYPE can be shifted between „FULL“ and „SPLIT“ (band).

5.1

5.2

5.3

5.4

5.3 ATTENUATION

By turning the potentiometer the favoured attenuation of the (s, ss, ß, sch, z, tz) sounds is adjusted. The set attenuation affects both MODE types „FULL“ and „SPLIT“ equally. The range of the

drop is between 0 dB and -20 dB.

5.5

5.6

5.4 LED INDICATION (ATTENUATION)

The LED chain shows LIVE the current strength of the attenuation in the range of 0 dB (no attenuation, green LED lights) up to -20 dB (all LEDs light red).

5.5 FREQUENCY (start frequency)

In the „DE-ESS BAND“ SPLIT mode the lower start frequency has to be adjusted. Referring to his, you adjust with potentiometers No. 5.5 the most suitable frequency, the attenuation of the sibilants by the DeEser is done above the set start frequency.

IMPORTANT:

In the mode „FULL“ the potentiometer „FREQUENCY“ has no function.

5.6 DeEsser AIR mode

By pressing the button „AIR“ „Modes AIR“ is activated and the green control LED lights up. Modes AIR has the effect that the frequency band above the 12 kHz is not affected by the DeEsser.

To reach a better sound result above the 12 kHz frequencies, it is recommended, always to work with active DeEsser and function „AIR“.

DIP-2 (OFF): input is set to the LINE input sensitivity. DIP-3 (ON): input low cut ﬁlter (100 Hz) to remove low frequencies, parasitic noises and phase shift is activated. DIP-3 (OFF): the

highpass ﬁlter (low cut ﬁlter, 100 Hz) is deactivated.

PROGRAMMING WITH FIRM-SOFTWARE MWL-CONTROL

All DSP functions and settings which can be carried out by the button SETTING/ENTER, can also be carried out by the system software MWL-Control. The advantage in software programming is the produced „PMWL FILE“, this contains all DSP settings (project data), which later is a big advantage for possible service purposes.

Installation- and operating instructions:

The software you get after delivery by sending your contact data by mail. After that the program MWL-Control or the ﬁle MWL-1.1.1 can be installed on the PC. After the installation, the program is started automatically.

After the USB connection between PV-DSP-1AD.XX system and the PC the computer indicates a new device in the system. To allow the data transfer, the correct COM interface (is indicated in the device manager) has to be adjusted in the program.

To be able to establish a connection with the ampliﬁer, in the ﬁeld „SETTINGS“ the option „CONNECTION“ has to be selected. The program scans the available COM ports and indicates the connected devices. Port COM number is shown.

In the software appears a WINDOW with the indication: FUND MWL „ MWL has been found at port COM (XX). Please conﬁrm by pressing the „OK“ button. The connection between PC and ampliﬁer system is ﬁnished.

IMPORTANT:

If during connection setup the following indication appears: „COULDN´T CONNECT TO MWL DEVICE ON PORT COM (XX)“ manually select a new COM-PORT No. from the shown COM-PORT connections from the WINDOWS DEVICE MANAGER and try it again.

TIP: a minimum signal delay has a positive effect to feedback shortage.

A signal delay allows a correct sound by delaying the acoustic signals in a way, that also with speakers or ampliﬁcation systems allocated far from each other no echo formation happens.

SOFTWARE RANGE „NOISE GATE“

„Threshold“ The noise gate cuts signals under a determined, deﬁnable (-90 dB to -24 dB) level. Signals above this level, however, are passed through unprocessed.

A typical use is the suppression of noise with low level. Thus the controllable threshold level (threshold setting) is adjusted directly above the interference level. Possible existing noise is hereby suppressed as soon as the master volume of the input signal falls below the threshold setting.

If the master volume is above the TH-setting, indeed also the interferences are passed through, but covered by stronger wanted signals.

TM

SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING „FEEDBACK SUPPRESSOR“ feedback limiter

In the menu „FEEDBACK SUPPRESSOR“ (feedback limiter) an automatic feedback suppressor (adaptability) or a digital phase shift can be allocated to an output.

MODES: (adaptability) Feedback reduction: for an ultrafast automatic feedback suppression ten precise notch ﬁlters are available, which automatically ﬁnd and reduce feedbacks.

MODES: (phase shift) The frequency for the phase shift of the shifter can be determined using „Frequency“.

FREQUENCY, setting of the shifter frequency:

- 1.7 Hz

- 2.0 Hz

- 3.0 Hz

Useful information:

At ﬁrst you should reduce the parasitic feedback frequencies with the parametric EQ for a favoured value (dB) narrowband (OCT.). Produce a feedback by raising the microphone sensitivity. Measure the occuring frequency and correct it again with the parametric EQ.

Useful information:

Please select the favoured „PRESET“. Two PRESET conﬁgurations can be carried out for all programming processes.

SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING „Threshold“- „AT TACK TIME“

In the menu LIMITER you determine by threshold setting (-30 dB to +6 dB) the transition level, above which the effect of the limiter 1 starts.

By level increase you let the limiter start later.

In the menu LIMITER 1 you determine by ATTACK TIME the reaction speed of the internal shift to the input signal.

SLOW - longer ATTACK time MIDDLE - middle ATTACK time FAST - fast ATTACK time.

TM

The longer the ATTACK time (SLOW position) is selected, the later the limiter effect starts.

With longer ATTACK times the limiter more affects the average signal level and no more the fast and high peak levels. This causes a softer limiter effect and keeps the dynamic of the signal widely, however, cannot avoid temporary overrides due to fast signal peaks.

Useful information:

Longer attack times with percussive signals let the dynamic tone inset „PICK“ pass, without regulating the level down. A „KICK DRUM“ also keeps its „PUNCH“ with longer attack times. Also for RECORDING or ﬁnal mixing a little bit longer attack times will be preferred.

To protect speakers from too high peak levels in PAapplications, however, short attack times will be preferable (FAST setting).

ROOM EQUALIZATION (BASICS)

Thank you very much for deciding for the automatic POWER-VOICE PV-DSP-1AD.9.2 from Phoenix Professional Audio GmbH.

To be able to use this correctly and to use all technical possibilities which offers the automatic mixing ampliﬁer PV-DSP-1AD.9.2, after the installation you have to carry out a room adaption or room equalization.

To realize a room measurement, you need a measuring device. Minimum is here the NiniLink (Acoustilyzer) from Neutrik or a professional measuring software like f.i. MLSSA.

For a practical measurement the measuring microphone has to be positioned exactly at the place, where later the audience will be located (f.i. for church sound in the middle of the church). By recording „PINK NOISE“ to the Power Voice ampliﬁer you

measure with the measuring microphone the amplitude frequency response.

If the calculated frequency response does not have the aspired course, with room adaption ﬁlters (EQ) a correction by raising and driving of the frequency spectrum in determined areas is carried out.

No.1



ist Wert

Repeat the measuring- and correction process until a linearity arises (see drawing No. 2).

In big halls or with bigger distance from the signal sources (f.i. speakers) a drop in treble occurs.

For reverberant rooms it is senseful, additionally to concentrate to the equalization of low frequencies up to 100 - 500 Hz. In this frequency range there is the biggest reverberation effect.

It has been shown that it is senseful always to be careful with the equalization. Hereby always the efﬁciency of the speaker and the ampliﬁer should be considered.

The positive feedback between microphone and speaker produces the so-called feedback which always starts with the frequency at which the transmission curve shows the strongest maximum. This can be attenuated with the automatic feedback limiter which is integrated in the MIXER like follows:

At ﬁrst you should reduce the parasitic frequency with the parametric EQ for a favoured value (dB) narrowband (OCT.). Then produce a feedback by raising the microphone sensitivity. Measure the occuring frequency and correct it with the parametric EQ.

The green curve shows the recommended reproduction curve for speech ampliﬁcation systems.

The automatic mixing ampliﬁer PV-DSP-1AD.9.2 (POWER VOICE) serie has 15 parametric input EQ. Thereby even acoustically difﬁcult rooms can be equalized very well and the microphone sensitivity can be raised without parasitic feedback.
