1.0 Introduction

The DCP-3060 is a complete 3 input - 6 output digital loudspeaker
management system designed for the touring or fixed sound installation
markets. The absolute latest in available technology is utilized with 32-bit
(40-bit extended) floating point processors and high performance 24-bit
Analog Converters. The high-bit DSP prevents noise and distortion induced
by truncation errors of the commonly used 24-bit fixed-point devices. A
complete set of parameters include I/O levels, delay, polarity, 6 bands of
parametric EQ per channel, multiple crossover selections and full function
limiters. Precise frequency control is achieved with its 1 Hz resolution.
Inputs and outputs can be routed in multiple configuration to meet any
requirements. The DCP-3060 can be controlled or configured in real time
on the front panel or with the intuitive PC GUI accessed via the RS-232
interface. Software upgrade for CPU and DSP via PC keeps the device
current with newly developed algorithms and functions once available.
Multiple setup storage and system security complete this professional
package.

1. Mute keys - Mute/Unmute input and output channels. When an input

channel is muted, a red LED will come on for indication.

2. Gain/Menu keys - Selects the corresponding channel for the LCD menu

display and is acknowledged by a green LED. The last modified menu
will be displayed on the LCD. Linking multiple channels is accomplished
by pressing and holding the first channel key, then pushing the other
desired channels. This eases programming for same parameters across
multiple channels. Multiple Inputs can be linked together and multiple
outputs can be linked together. Inputs and Outputs are linked separately.

3. Peak Level LED - Indicates the current peak level of the Signal:

Signal, -12dB, -6dB, -3dB, Over/Limit. The Input Over LED references to
the device's maximum headroom. The Output Limit LED references to
the threshold of the limiter.

4. LCD - Shows all the necessary information to control the unit.

5. Rotary Thumb Wheel - Changes parameter data values. The wheel

has travel velocity sensing which ease large incremental data
modifications. For modifying delay and frequency (1 Hz resolution),
pressing the Speed key simultaneously will increment/decrement the
data value by 100X.

6. Menu Control keys - There are 6 menu keys: <<Menu (Menu Down),

Menu>> (Menu Up), <<Cursor (Cursor Down), Cursor>> (Cursor Up),
Enter/Sys/Speed and Exit. The functions of each key is explained

below:
