ELEMENT’S DESCRIPTION

1. The rotary Encoder is responsible by select and change the parameters.
2. The power supply Input must be connected with 12Vdc and consumes around 0,35A, the REM IN signal comes from the player, and REM OUT sends the signal to others devices (like amplifiers, mixers).
3. Use the output LINK to share the audio signal for linking others devices.
4. Use the ESC button to return to previous parameters or menus.
5. The input signal must be connected to the player or another signal source.
6. Use the buttons to select the channel to be configurated, can used in any menu.
7. 6 Independent outputs.
8. The LEDs indicate when the limiter works.
9. The display shows the menus and parameters.

INSTALLATION

• Wire gauge 1 mm2/18awg or bigger.
• REM IN must be connected to player’s remote.
• REM OUT must be connected on amplifiers.
• Voltage Power: 10~15Vdc.
• Consumption current: 0,35A.

FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM

MENU & CONFIGURATIONS

1. ACCESSING THE MENU
   Turn the Encoder to choose the menus, if you want open the menu, just press the Encoder.

2. MAIN GAIN
   Adjust the main gain in the processor.

3. ROUTING CHANNEL OUTPUT
   Make the routing channels between input and output. If you select L, that channel will receive just the L side, when you select R, that channel will receive just the R side. If you select L+R, the channel will receive both signals (mono).

4. GAIN
   Allow changing the independent gain per each channel.

5. CROSSOVER
   Allow eliminate the frequencies that you don’t need, it has filters Butterworth, Linkwitz-Riley and Bessel, with 6~48db/OCT.

6. POLARITY / PHASE
   Allow changing the polarity in the output.

7. DELAY
   Allow increased time delay to align better the speakers.

8. CHANNEL EQ
   Channel equalizer allows increase/decrease 3 independent frequencies per channel between 20~20kHz with frequency, gain and Q factor adjustments.

9. INPUT EQ
   Input equalizer allows leveling up/down the signal by setting a frequency between 20hz and 20khz with 28 bands spaced by 1/4 octave.

10. LIMITER
    Choose a limit for the audio signal that doesn’t pass the level max set.

11. CUSTOM PRESET
    The Processor Presets save ALL configurations of the device, just choose the Preset and configure as you wish, so the values will be saved on device automatically. Attention!
    The Presets save all the configurations on the processor, if you choose another preset, this one has the factory configurations, it will be needed configuration again as you want.

12. PINK NOISE
    Pink noise Generator to make easier the system alignment:

13. PASSWORD
    Define a password to protect the configurations:

14. MUTE
    To mute an output, select the channel and press the MUTE button to change the mute status.

15. RESET
    To make a reset of the processor to factory configurations, return to the initial display, and press and hold the ESC button, on a few seconds, the processor will be restarted.

ATTENTION
It will be necessary to redo all the configurations because the reset returns the standard values. Before you do it, disconnect all the outputs.

BT INTERFACE

Through a didactic and intuitive interface, it is possible to do all the processor’s configurations from DS18 by smartphone or tablet, making easier the system alignment, it can be done from your audio system in real-time.

• The app can be downloaded directly on Google Play Store or Apple Store for free.
• The app is available only for this DS18 DSP line, but there is a demo mode for people who don’t have some experience with this yet and can learn how it works.
