ELEMENT’S DESCRIPTION
- The rotary Encoder is responsible by select and change the parameters.
- The power supply Input, must be connected with 12Vdc and consumes around 0,35A, the REM IN signal comes from player and REM OUT sends the signal to others devices (like amplifiers, mixers).
- Input signal, must be connected to the player or another signal source.
- Use the ESC button to return to previous parameters or menus.
- 8 Independent outputs
- Use the buttons to select the channel to be configured, can be used in any menu.
- The LEDs that indicate when the limiter works.
- Display shows the menus and parameters.
- Mute: Independent Mute Per Channel
Main gain: Input Gain Adjustable
EQ-IN: Input equalizer with 15 bands between 1/3 octave
PRST: Preset with configurations
INSTALLATION
- Wire gauge 1 mm 2/18awg or bigger.
- REM IN must be connected to the player’s remote.
- REM OUT must be connected to amplifiers.
- Voltage Power: 10~15Vdc.
- Consumption current: 0.35A.
FUNCTIONS DIAGRAM
MENU & CONFIGURATIONS
ACCESSING THE MENU
Turn the Encoder to choose the menus, if you want to open the menu, just press
the Encoder.
MAIN GAIN
Adjust the main gain in the processor.
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).
GAIN
Allow change the independent gain per each channel.
CROSSOVER
Allow eliminate the frequencies that you don’t need, it has filters
Butterworth, Linkwitz-Riley, and Bessel, with 6~48db/OCT.
POLARITY / PHASE
Allow changing the polarity in the output.
DELAY
Allow increase time delay to align better the speakers.
CHANNEL EQ
Channel equalizer allows increase/decrease 3 independent frequencies per
channel between 20~20kHz with frequency, gain and Q factor adjustments.
INPUT EQ
Input equalizer allows level up/down the signal by setting a frequency between
20hz and 20khz with 15 bands spaced by 1/3 octave.
LIMITER
Choose a limit for the audio signal doesn’t pass the level max set.
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.
PINK NOISE
Pink noise Generator to make easier the system alignment:
PASSWORD
Define a password to protect the configurations:
MUTE
To mute a output, select the channel and press the MUTE button to change the
mute status.
RESET
To make a reset of the processor to factory configurations, return to initial
display, press and hold the ESC button, on a few seconds, the processor will
be restarted.
BT INTERFACE
Through a didactic and intuitive interface, it is possible 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 the people who don’t have some experience with this yet and can learn how it works.
