GETTING STARTED

The powerful versatile signal processor is mainly designed for use with audio systems.
Its routing configurations of the input and output can be only set by recalling one of the PRESETS
included in the internal memory. So the user must be very clear about the main function of theunit in
order to get best operation of . Before you start your operation, please read the
follows carefully:

1.Configuration of the system

At first, switch off the equipment, carry out the audio and power connection from the various
components of your sound system.
Then, connect the main cord and only switch on the . The display will show the data
regarding with the operating system release for a few seconds.

Meanwhile, the system will restore the exact operating conditions at the time of switching off.
And the system will enter into default status, showing the main operating information on the display.

2. Adjusting the input signal

It is much more important to set the input signal of a digital unit than that of
excessively high input signals will make any saturation of the A / D converters cause a typical particularly
distinct noise (high level square wave).

Proceed as follows:

Keep the outputs in status (LEDs light on).MUTERT-DRIVE DLM-206

Feed a signal in on the 's input and watch the LED meter to
obtain a good signal / noise ratio, i.e. an up-front distortion-free signal, keep the signal quite high,

but make certain the red LED doesn't light up continually.

Find out the output level setting for your mixer (or other unit) and connect it to the input of the

RT-DRIVE DLM-206.

Adjust the input gain if necessary:RT-DRIVE DLM-206

Press the key to enter into
Use the to increase clockwise or decrease counterclockwise with gain range from -40dB to +12dB.

3. First Setup

At this point, the first custom setup can be prepared.
The following is only the description of setup procedure.
The detailed specifications of each parameter are shown in the respective paragraphs of the manual.

Note: The regulation of the 's parameters is closely related to the characteristics of
the components of the sound system. So if you're not the expert, please refer to the docum­entation and technical specifications of your power amplifiers, loudspeaker enclosures, monitors, etc..
This will enable you to work faster and safely.

DIAL

Firstly, set the following parameters shown in order:

Output Pol.
Output Delay
Output Gain

Polarity of the outputs

Alignment of the speaker enclosure components

Levels of the outputs
