SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 venting 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 perilous electric shock.

This device has left the factory in safety-related perfect condition. To maintain this condition and to ensure a riskless operation, the user has absolutely to consider the safety instructions and the warning indications which are contained in this instruction manual.

For damages caused by non-compliance of this instruction manual, the warranty will lapse. For ensuing consequential damages the manufacturer assumes no liability.

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

The construction corresponds to the protective class I. The mains plug may only be connected to an isolated ground receptacle, which voltage and frequency exactly matches with the type label of the device. Inappropriate voltages and sockets can lead to the destruction of the device and to mortal electric shocks.

Always insert the mains plug at last. Thereby the mains plug has to be inserted without force. Pay attention to a ﬁrm seat 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 result in mortal electric shocks.

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 can lead to damages of the mains line, ﬁre or mortal electric shocks.

The cable grommet or coupling of the device may not be tensioned. Always a sufﬁcient cable length to the device has to be present. 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.

Instruction manual

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 on the gripping surface and never pull the mains line, otherwise the cable and the plug can be damaged which can lead to mortal electric shocks. If the plugs of device´s switch are not available f.i. by installation, mains-side an all-pole shutoff has to be carried out.

When the mains plug or the device is dusty, if 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 my 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 immediately to be unplugged all-pole.

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 damaged 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 and pager clips or rougher metal swarfs get into the device, the device has immediately to be taken out of operation and unplugged all-pole.

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

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

Only connect the device 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.

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 system software MWL-Control. The advantage of the 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 via 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-1D.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 panel „SETTINGS“ the option „CONNECTION“ has to be selected. The program scans the existing COM ports and indicates the connected devices. Port COM number is shown.

In the software appears a WINDOW with the message: FOUND 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 messag 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.

SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING „VOLUME“

In the range „MAIN VOLUME“ the maximum volume is adjusted digitally.

By shifting the analogue input sensitivity slide controls (at the device´s front side) the mixer outputs are only affected to the maximum volume of the values set by the DSP volume controls. For the input sensitivity at the rear side per input analogue GAIN LEVELS are available.

SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING „DELAY“ signal delay

Range „DELAY“ can be configured, indications in „m“/“cm“ (distance) or in „ms“ (time delay) can be adjusted.

TM

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

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

Useful information:

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

Instruction manual

PROGRAMMING WITH FIRM SOFTWARE MWL-CONTROL

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 (threshold setting) is adjusted directly above the noise level. Possibly 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.

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 „frequenc y“.

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.

After the signal „correction“ the automatic feedback limiter (adaptability) or the digital SHIFTER can be activated.

PROGRAMMING WITH FIRM SOFTWARE MWL-CONTROL

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 to 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 PA applications, however, short attack times are recommendable (FAST-setting).

Useful information:

A parametric equalizer PEAKING EQ allows the raising or driving of free selectable frequencies with the possibility to determine the width of effect (Q-factor) of the EQ by yourself.

Thus it differs from LoSh6/12 and HiSh6/12 ﬁlters, which (with fix Q-factor) can control a determined frequency range. Please consider the display indication.

PROGRAMMING WITH SETTINGS/ENTER BUTTON

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

By pressing the PUSH/ENTER button the ﬁrst programming mode „GAIN“ is indicated, by pressing the PUSH/ENTER button again the further submenu (BANG MENU) in the range (GAIN) is shown. All further settings refer to the DSP range selected by you. The just processed GUI POINT ﬂashes.

Please turn the PUSH/ENTER button left or right to adjust the favoured raising or driving the parameter and press the EXIT button (1x), the change is saved.

By pressing the EXIT button again you leave the ﬁrst PROGRAM MENU of the GUI (window metaphor).

The next PROGRAM MAIN MENU is shown in the display, continue like described above or press the EXIT button (1x) to leave the programming mode, the adjusted parameters are saved ( „SAVING“). Standard display indication is shown.

ROOM EQUALIZATION (BASICS)

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

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

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 of „PINK NOISE“ to the Power Voice ampliﬁer you

measure the amplitude frequency response with the measuring microphone.

If the calculated frequency response does not have the aspired course, with room adaption ﬁlters (EQ) a correction by raising and driving 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 to be careful with the equalization. Hereby always the efﬁciency of the speaker and the ampliﬁer should be considered.

Speaker Microphone

Power ampliﬁer



The positive feedback between microphone and speaker produces the so-called feedback, which always starts with the frequency where 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.

Pre-ampliﬁer

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

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