MAIN PAGE
In the MAIN tab the focus is on the total Gain of each channel. We must have 35 dB Gain, as we use this to set the limiters in our preset library. These settings do not recall with presets and must be manually set.
- DP-4035F(N) +18 dB
- DP-4065F(N) +16 dB
- DP-4100F(N) +14 dB
- DP-2200F(N) +11 dB
SEN is automatically recalculated accordingly.
INPUT PAGE
A) Input source and settings.
For DP-N models, the “Set” function in the INPUT section allows the Analog
Input to be used as redundant audio signal.
Note: An appropriate Level and Delay must be used to avoid any audible
Level and timing variation differences when the “Auto” function is enabled.
DP-N series only.
Tip! You may right click on an input matrix value to have text input
option.
When the EQ’s are linked across different channels there is a graphical reminder. It becomes a grey/blue colour.
