2 BEFORE USING

Please read these instructions carefully before using this product.

1. This product needs to be grounded. This will avoid malfunctioning and will lower the risk of
electric shock. The product has a 3-pin power cable with a conductor and plug with a
ground wire. It is important to plug in this product with its own power cable into an
appropriate electrical outlet.

2. CAUTION: a wrong connection to the equipment or without grounding could result in an
electric shock. Consult an electrician if you do not have an electrical network with grounding
or a specific electrical outlet. Do not change the product's power cable.

3. Protect the equipment from water or any other liquid.

4. Install the product in a well-ventilated place.

5. Keep the product away from sources of heat or other products that produce heat.

6. Unplug the product if you are not going to use it for a long period of time.

7. Do not pull the wire when unplugging the equipment; pull firmly at the plug.

8. Do not put anything on top of the power cable, neither install it in a place of high traffic of
people or equipment since this could crush or damage it in some way.

9. Protect the product from being dropped or hit.

10. If the product presents any problem or you notice a drop in its performance, bring the
product to the technical assistance support closest to you.

11. Do not open the product neither try to check it or change it. Any problem that may arise
should be fixed by the technical assistance trained staff.

12. CAUTION: This product can generate sound levels that can cause permanent hearing loss.
Do not use the product for long periods of time at a high volume or at uncomfortable levels.
Mark an appointment with an ear doctor in the case of hearing loss or discomfort.

13. The device should only be cleaned with a dry, soft rag. A soft-bristle brush can help clean
the harder-to-clean areas. Never use solvents such as alcohol or gas for cleaning the
device.

14. Use the product correctly and clear up all doubts about the product using this manual. This
will keep the equipment from being used incorrectly or from getting damaged. Remember
that it is the user's responsibility if the equipment is used incorrectly.

3 INTRODUCTION

A DSP or Digital Signal Processor is the name given to microprocessors specialized in

processing digital signals such as audio, video, or other signals.

The DT2006S is a DSP specialized in audio that allows for innumerous audio signal
management functions such as crossover, equalizer, limiter, controls of gain and phase,
among other functions.

Selenium believes that it is offering you a state-of-the-art product with above-average
audio quality and reliability that only digital technology can offer when using DSP technology
with your product.

The DT2006S is a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) with two input channels (A and B) and
six output channels (1 to 6), which gives it great configuration flexibility for audio-frequency
systems. Another characteristic of the DT2006S is that it has an automatic voltage switch,
which adds to the user's flexibility.

5 Operation

The DT2006S receives a configuration for the Selenium's previous usages. This
configuration merges performance and the system's excellent intelligibility. Therefore, for the
user to control each track of the SLI-Ribbon265 system, then the signal's volume (intensity)
needs to be controlled at the sound table.

The configurations preset by Selenium can be changed, however, to meet the tastes of the
user or to adapt it to a specific type of application to which the system may be submitted.
Selenium recommends that before changing any of the DT2006S preset configurations that the
user contact our technical support team to clarify the implications of these changes to the
system's performance.

CAUTION, the DT2006S is configured to work at maximum power. This means that if you
turn on your table's sound system or mixer and your amplifiers are also at their maximum, the
sound will begin playing at maximum volume.

TIP: before turning on the system, set the sound table or mixer's volume at its minimum
and go turning up the volume carefully to the desired level or limit of your amplifiers.

The access to the DT2006S configuration commands is blocked by password. The only
commands accepted are the MUTE buttons.

If you need to make a change, contact Selenium to provide you with this password.

Any change to the configuration parameters should be done with extreme caution because
they can affect both the quality of the sound system as well as its durability, nullifying the
warranty against defects.

The buttons on the front panel of the DT2006S are used to change the parameters defined
by Selenium.

The sequence to do so is shown in the next chapter.

5.1 Re-configuration

5.1.1- Sub-

menu Xover (crossover)

A) Push the button “Menu” and then BACK/NEXT and ENTER to access

the Sub-menu

XOVER. This sub

B) LOAD A XOVER: loads a crossover stored in the memory.

C) DESIGN A XOVER: configures the type of crossover, the input channel

control, and the stereo connection.

D) STORE A XOVER: memorizes all the

certain memory position. There are 10 positions available. The name of each

memory position can have up to 16 characters.

E) ERASE A XOVER: erases a memory position.

2-Sub-menu SECURITY

Push the “Menu” button and then BACK/

There are 4 security levels:

CHANGE ONLY, where the parameters can be accessed, but not be changed.

3-Sub-menu SYSTEM

Push the “Menu” button and then BACK/NEXT and ENTER to access the Sub

menu SYSTEM.
A)

The first option is INPUT OPTION that makes it possible to link the input

channels (A and B). With this option enabled, every change made to chann

A will be automatically applied to channel B.

B)

The second option is WAKE UP. This option makes it possible to choose the

signal's behavior as soon as the DT2006S is turned on. FADE

possible to gradually increase the signal's volume. MUTE HOLD

DT2006S with the MUTE buttons on.

C)

The option DELAY TIME/DISTANCE makes it possible to choose the unit in

which the delay time will be shown (time in ms, meters or feet).

D)

The option INTERFACE makes it possible to adjust the baud rate and the

addressing code (ID). The baud rate options are 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200,

and 38400. The ID can be set between 1 and 32.

Gain: 12dB to +12d

HiShelf: 1kHz to 20kHz

LoShelf: 20Hz to 1kHz

7- LIMITERS –

have the following parameters:

LEVEL –

dB threshold

ATTACK – Time that the limiter takes to take action after the signal exceeds
the Threshold (ms)
DECAY – Time for the limiter to cease taking action after the HOLD time. The
releasing of the signal in the decay is progressive and this time is the limit for
the signal to return to the level previous to the limiter's actions.

The amounts permitted for each parameter are as follows:
LEVEL – from -20dB to +15dB
ATTACK – from 1 to 100ms
HOLD – from 0 to 1000ms
DECAY – from 0 to 1000ms

8- To change the channel's name, turn the PARAMETER button until locating

the name to be selected.

9- Input Signal – makes it possible to view the channel's signal source. This field

cannot be changed.
