1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE D-2000 SETTING SOFTWARE

The D-2000 system is comprised of the D-2008SP Digital Mixing Processor, the D-2012C Remote Console and the dedicated software used to perform settings for each unit. (In this manual, both the D-2008SP and D2012C are collectively referred to as the "Unit.") For the D-2008SP, use the dedicated setting software to set the following acoustic signal processing functions and to perform the settings for each installed module. The largest-scale system can be configured with 4 D-2008SPs, 4 D-2012Cs, and 1 PC.

• Feedback suppressor (FBS) function

• Matrix function

• Trim gain function

• Fader function

• Filter function

• Crossover function

• Delay function

• Compressor/Leveler function

• Auto-mixing function

Equipped with 8 function keys, 12 motorized faders, and 8 rotary encoders, the D-2012C can control the D2008SP's signal processing parameters and faders (volumes).

Settings can be performed regardless of whether the PC and the unit are in communication (online) or not (offline). Note that prior parameter settings for feedback suppression, level monitor and compressor reduction indication cannot be displayed or operated without being online. The PC communicates with the unit via a network. While they are online, the PC can remotely recall preset memories and change the settings of acoustic signal processing on the unit in real time. Set data can be stored in the PC.

Install the supplied D-2000 Setting Software on a PC meeting the requirements below.

• Select the CobraNet channels to be assigned to each output channel in 2-channel units.

Step 13. Click the "Next" button.

• When "Monitor" is selected on the Channel Use screen, the Monitor Setting screen is displayed.

(Advance to Step 14.)

• When “Monitor” is not selected on the Channel Use screen, the Stereo Link Configuration screen

(same screen as in Step 15 on the next page) is displayed. (Advance to Step 16 on the next

page.)

Step 14. Perform Monitor setting.

In the Output Monitor Setting section, set the D-2008SP's ID number to which the monitor output audio line is connected.

Note

There is no item to be set for the input monitor.

Step 16. Perform Stereo Link Configuration settings.

Checking the checkbox of a channel allows stereo link settings for that channel in 2-channel units.

[Stereo link functions]

• Performing Stereo Link settings for adjoining channels (such as Channels 1 and 2, 3 and 4, and 5 and 6) causes signal processing parameters for Compressor/Auto-Leveler, filter, and other functions to be linked. If a signal processing parameter for either channel is modified, the corresponding parameter of the other "linked" channel also simultaneously changes.

• The Stereo Link function can be independently set for input and output sides. Enable the Stereo Link setting when wishing to make the settings of both left and right channels identical, such as when a stereo input is received from a CD player or other stereo sound source and stereo output is sent to a tape recorder or similar stereo equipment.

[Stereo link setting restrictions]

• If you assign the bus from the stereo-linked input channel to the stereo-linked output channel, both left and right channels are simultaneously assigned. For example, when Input 1 is stereo-linked to Input 2, and Output 1 is linked to Output 2, if Input 1 is assigned to Output 1, Input 2 is also similarly assigned to Output 2. However, you cannot assign Input 1 to Output 2 or Input 2 to Output 1.

• Stereo-Link settings cannot be performed for the output channels that have employed the crossover function. Conversely, the stereo-linked channels cannot use the crossover function.

• The FBS function cannot be used for the stereo-linked bus channels.

Step 15. Click the "Next" button.

The Stereo Link Configuration screen is displayed.

Step 17. Click the "Next" button.

The Filter Point Number Setting screen is displayed.

Step 18. Perform Filter Point Number Setting.

Set the number of filters to be used for individual input and output channels.

Note

The number of available filters is limited. Confirm the available filter number on the screen. When more filters are needed, changing module mounting slots may solve this problem. (Refer to

p. 16, "6-1. Module Setting.")

Step 19. Click the "Next" button.

The FBS Setting screen is displayed.

Step 20. Perform FBS Setting.

Select bus channels for FBS (Feedback Suppressor) assignment. Up to 4 channels can be assigned.

Step 21. Click the "Next" button.

The X-over Combination screen is displayed.

Note To set the crossover function, proceed to Step 22. Otherwise, proceed to Step 25 on the next page.

Step 22. Click the setting contents to perform the crossover combination settings.

Setting status is displayed on the right side of the screen. When "2-way" is selected on a channel, its next channel is used together. When "3-way" is selected on a channel, its next 2 channels are used together. When "4-way" is selected on a channel, its next 3 channels are used together.

Note

Performing the crossover combination settings causes 1 or 2 output filter points on the corresponding channel to be used: 1 filter point is used when HPF or LPF is set, and 2 filter points when BPF (both HPF and LPF) is set.

[2-way/2-channel setting example]

Step 23. Click the "Next" button.

The X-over Slope screen is displayed.

Step 24. Tick the checkboxes for the crossover slope settings.

Setting status is displayed on the right side of the screen.

Note

The template created using the setting software for the D-901 Digital Mixer can be used. When using the template, tick "Template" check box, then the button located on the right side of a checkbox becomes active. Click this button, and a dialog box for selecting the file is then displayed. If you select the file and click the "Finish" button, the signal flow (see below) is displayed.

Step 25. Check to ensure that the setting is correct and click the "Finish" button.

The signal flow is displayed.
