•When you transport or move the DM2000 with the MB2000 attached, do not permit
impact or stress on the cable connector that connects the MB2000 to the DM2000. Other­wise, malfunction may occur.

•To relocate the unit, turn the power switch off, remove the power plug from the AC outlet,
and remove all connecting cables. Damaged cables may cause fire or electrical shock.

•If you know you will not use this unit for a long period of time, such as when going on vaca­tion, remove the power plug from the AC outlet. Leaving it connected is a potential fire haz­ard.

•The inside of the unit should be cleaned periodically. Dust accumulation inside the unit
may cause malfunction and is a potential fire hazard. Consult your dealer for information
about cleaning.

•To prevent electrical shock when cleaning the unit, remove the power plug from the AC out­let.

•Do not apply oil, grease, or contact cleaner to the faders. Doing so may cause problems with
electrical contact or fader motion.

Operating Notes

• XLR-type connectors are wired as follows: pin 1–ground, pin 2–hot (+), and pin 3–cold (–).

•Insert TRS phone jacks are wired as follows: sleeve–ground, tip–send, and ring–return.

•The performance of components with moving contacts, such switches, rotary controls, fad­ers, and connectors, deteriorates over time. The rate of deterioration depends on the oper­ating environment and is unavoidable. Consult your dealer about replacing defective
components.

•Using a mobile telephone near this unit may induce noise. If noise occurs, use the telephone
away from the unit.

•If the message “WARNING Low Battery!” appears when you turn on this unit, contact your
dealer as soon as possible about replacing the internal data backup battery. The unit will still
operate correctly, but data other than the presets will be lost.

About this Owner’s Manual

This Owner’s Manual covers the DM2000 Digital Production Console.
All the information you need in order to operate the DM2000 Digital Production Console

is contained in this manual. Use the table of contents to familiarize yourself with the man­ual’s organization and to locate tasks and topics, and use the index to locate specific infor­mation. Before diving in, it’s recommend that you read the “Operating Basics” chapter,
starting on page 51.

Each chapter of this manual discusses a specific section or function of the DM2000. The
Input and Output Channels are explained in the following chapters: “Input Channels,” “Bus
Outs,” “Aux Sends,” “Matrix Sends,” and “Stereo Out.” Where possible, these chapters have
been organized in order of signal flow, from input through to output.

Functions such as EQ and Delay are common to all channels. Rather than repeat the same
information over and over, these functions are explained once in the “Common Channel
Functions” chapter, which starts on page 127. The “Input Channels,” “Bus Outs,” “Aux
Sends,” “Matrix Sends,” and “Stereo Out” chapters contain cross-references to the relevant
sections of the “Common Channel Functions” chapter.

Conventions Used in this Manual

The DM2000 features two types of button: physical buttons that you can press (e.g., ENTER
and DISPLAY) and buttons that appear on the display pages. References to physical buttons
are enclosed in square brackets, for example, “press the [ENTER] button.” References to dis­play page buttons are not emphasized, for example, “press the ENTER button.”

Display pages can be selected by using the [DISPLAY] buttons or the Left Tab Scroll, Right
Tab Scroll, and F1–4 buttons below the display. In order to simplify explanations, only the
[DISPLAY] button method is mentioned in the procedures. See “Selecting Display Pages”
on page 53 for details on all the ways in which pages can be selected.

A +48V ON/OFF switches

These switches turn on and off the +48 V phantom power feed to each INPUT A
(XLR-type connector). Phantom power is typically used to power condenser-type
microphones or direct boxes. See “Phantom Power” on page 64 for more informa­tion.

B PAD switches

These switches turn on and off the 26 dB pad (attenuator) for each AD Input. See
“Pad” on page 64 for more information.

C GAIN controls

These controls adjust the gain of the AD Input Head Amps. They have an input
sensitivity of –16 dB to –60 dB or +10 dB to –34 dB when Pad is on. See “Gain” on
page 64 for more information.

D PEAK indicators

These indicators light up when the input signal level is 3 dB below clipping. See
“PEAK & SIGNAL Indicators” on page 64 for more information.

E SIGNAL indicators

These indicators light up when the input signal level is 20 dB below nominal. See

A Encoders

These controls are used to edit Input and Output Channel parameters. Their exact
operation depends on the currently selected Encoder mode and Layer. There are
two preset Encoder modes, Pan and Aux/Mtrx, and four assignable modes, with
over 50 parameters to choose from. See “Selecting Encoder Modes” on page 61 for
