SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using cables it must be ensured that the wire cross-section has been approved for the required power consumption of

the device. All warnings concerning the power cords are also valid for possible extension cords.

Unplug the device when it is not used and before each cleaning. To do so, touch the mains plug at the grip and never pull on the

power line, otherwise the cable and the connector may be damaged, which can lead to fatal electric shocks. If plug or appliance

switch are not accessible f.i. Due to installation, mains side an all-pole switch-off has to be carried out.

When the mains plug or the device is dusty, if has to be taken out of service, the current circuit has to be interrupted all-pole

and the device has to be cleaned with a dry cloth.

Dust can reduce the isolation, which can lead to fatal electric shocks. Heavy dirt in and at the device should only be removed

by a specialist.

Under no circumstance liquids of any kind may get into sockets, plug connections or into any device openings or device slots.

If it is suspected that - even minimal - liquid could be spilled into the device, the device must immediately be disconnected

from the mains all-pole.

This is also valid when the device has been exposed to high air humidity. Even if the device still seems to operate, it has to be

checked by a specialist, if possibly isolations has been damaged by the liquid entry. Reduced isolations can cause mortal elec-

trical shocks.

No strange objects may get into the device.

This is especially valid for metal parts. Should even smallest metal parts like staples and paper clips or rough metal chips get

into the device, the devices has to be taken out of operation immediately and all-pole unplugged.

Malfunctions and short circuits caused by metal parts can have fatal injuries as a consequence.

FRONT SIDE OF THE AMPLIFIER

1. CONTROL LEDs AUTOMATIC SYSTEM

Green LED indications light when the automatic mic.-system allows an input signal. Should the input not be activated, the green

control LED remains dark and the input remains closed. Please possibly consider the DIP switch position.

2. CONTROL LEDs PEAK

Red LED indications light, when the input signal is too high and the input is overloaded. In case of override please change the

GAIN LEVEL or DIP switch position (MIC.-LINE).

3. CHANNEL VOLUME CONTROLS 1 to 9

These controls (level slide controls) determine the volume of the inputs 1 to 9. Please consider the volume controls (limiter) in

the display (settings 1-4 VOL, DSP) and the MASTER control resp. GAIN LEVEL potentiometer at the rear side.

4. LINE INPUT

Line input (0 dB) with level slide control, LF and HF-EQ control for f.i. CD player feed etc. (front input).

5. DeEsser (basics)

If a transmission of the human voice is carried out, it is often necessary for aesthetic reasons, subsequently to amplify or to drive

the high frequency parts of the reproduction (approx. 2 kHz to 8 kHz) by means of an equalizer.

Thereby the voice gets a more muscular sound or more presence.

Also with pure speech transmissions thus a voice appears to most listeners more direct and attracts more attention with the

same volume.

A problem occurs with raising of the high frequencies of a speech transmission, as the voiceless sibilants (s, ss, ß, sch, z, tz) almost

exclusively consist of such frequencies, they are reproduced disproportionately loud by amplifying these areas.

This effect also enhances the often applied compression of the speech signal, as these tones indeed are felt as loud, but they

are low regarding the technical signal level and can hardly be lowered by the compressor.

Insofar a reproduction processed in this way sounds very unpleasant, as the sibilants strike disproportionally loud and very

intrusive.

DeEsser

5. (5.2) DeEsser (Function FULL/Automatic)

The De-Esser located in the ampliﬁcation system in the system setting „FULL“ at ﬁrst automatically separates the lower from

the problematic middle and upper frequencies (in the frequency range 800 Hz to 8 kHz) and then compresses the last, whereby

too loud sections are automatically lowered in the level (please consider the setting „ATTENUATION“ poti No. 5.3). Then both

signals are mixed together again. The result is a present and well sounding reproduction of the human voice without obtrusive

sibilants (s, ss, ß, sch, z, tz).

In system operation of the DeEsser „FULL“ the yellow control LED will light up.

5. (5.2) DeEsser (function SPLIT/ BAND manual)

By pressing the button „DE-ESS BAND“ the DeEsser is activated in SPLIT modes, the green control LED lights up.

With manual setting of the DeEsser the lower frequency (start frequency) with potentiometers No. 5.5 has to be set. Above

this frequency the DeEsser is active.

EXAMPLE:

With poti Ni. 5.5 the start frequency is set to the value 3 kHz, that means the frequency above 3 kHz is controlled by the DeEsser

and the high-energy, obtrusive sibilants (s, ss, ß, sch, z, tz) are reduced for the value set with the potentiometer No. 5.3 (attenuation)

(0 dB to -20 dB).

IMPORTANT:

To reach a better sound result above the 12 kHz frequencies, it is recommended always to work with active DeEsser and additional

function „AIR“.

5.1 Operating mode control LED`s

The green LED lights when the DeEsser is located in the „FULL“ mode, the yellow LED lights with

operating mode „SPLIT“.

5.2 Selection switch „DE-ESS BAND“ (MODES: FULL/SPLIT)

By activation of the selection switch between „FULL“ and „SPLIT“ (band) the desired MODE TYPE

can be shifted.

5.3 ATTENUATION

By turning the potentiometer the desired damping of the (s, ss, ß, sch, z, tz) tones is set. The

adjusted damping affects both MODE types „FULL“ and „SPLIT“ equally. The range of the drive

is between 0 dB and -20 dB.

5.4 LED INDICATION (ATTENUATION)

The LED chain shows LIVE the current strength of the attenuation in the range of 0 dB (no atten-

uation, green LED lights) up to -20 dB (all LED´s light red).

5.5 FREQUENCY (start frequency)

In the „DE-ESS BAND“ SPLIT mode the lower start frequency has to be adjusted.

Referring to this, with potentiometers No. 5.5 you adjust the most suitable frequency, the atten-

uation of the sibilants by the DeEser is done above the set start frequency.

IMPORTANT:

In the mode „FULL“ the potentiometer „FREQUENCY“ has no function.

5.6 DeEsser AIR mode

By pressing the button „AIR“ „modes AIR“ is activated and the green control LED lights up. Modes

AIR has the effect that the frequency band above the 12 kHz is not affected by the DeEsser.

To reach a better sound result above the 12 kHz frequencies, it is recommended always to work with

active DeEsser and additional function „AIR“.

total of more than 400 watts.

Attention:

To the direct speaker output only either 100V speakers OR low-ohmed speakers can be connected - simultaneous use is

not possible and leads to system switch off resp. can lead to the destruction of the power ﬁnal stage.

IMPORTANT:

The second internal power ﬁnal stage with the power of 100W/100V can be supplied via switch 01 (see illustration No. 2) by

audio signal optionally from the following DSP-OUT (outputs):

No. 1 = DSP-OUT 1, No. 2 = DSP-OUT 2, No. 3 = DSP-OUT3, No. 4 = DSP-OUT 4.

IMPORTANT:

The illustration No. 2 shows the selection switch No. 01 for

audio signal supply of the ﬁnal stage No. 2.

The selection switch is located in the interior of the ampli-

ﬁer. Access to the switch No. 01 is possible by opening the

small, upper ampliﬁer´s cover.

13. CONTROLLABLE SPEAKER OUTPUT

The controllable output No. 13 is coupled with the ﬁrst ﬁnal stage. The maximum load is 400 Watt/100 Volt.

Please consider that the ZONE-1 output and the direct speaker output are supplied from the same power ﬁnal stage.

The connected LOAD in ZONE-1 and to the direct output shall not exceed a total of more than 400 watts.

14. CONTROLLABLE SPEAKER OUTPUT

The output 100 Watt/100 Volt is coupled with the second ﬁnal stage (ampliﬁer 2).

The second internal power ﬁnal stage with the power of 100W/100V can be supplied by switch 01 (see illustration on page 15)

by audio signal optionally from the following DSP-OUT (output): No. 1 = DSP-OUT 1, No. 2 = DSP-OUT 2, No. 3 = DSP-OUT3,

No. 4 = DSP-OUT 4.

15. AUDIO INPUTS 1 to 8

At the device´s rear side there are 8 x XLR audio input bushs (No. 15). The inputs are balanced designed +2, -3, 1-shield (see

drawing). For each input the input sensitivity (GAIN) can be adjusted at the rear side. The input volume is adjusted at the device´s

front side with separate slide control and 2-element EQ.

ATTENTION:

All microphone inputs have a shiftable phantom power +48VDC (DIN/IEC standard). Should unbalanced, dynamic microphones

be connected to the audio inputs, a coupling condenser has to be integrated, resp. the phantom power has to be switched off.

16. GAIN CONTROL

Each input channel has an independent gain control.

DIP switch (position: MIC) ON-position: -40 dB/-15 dB, DIP switch (position: LINE) OFF-position: -15 dB/+5 dB.

17. DIP-SWITCH (MIC. LINE / PHANTOM POWER / FILTER HPF-100 Hz)

Each input channel has a DIP switch, thus the following conditions can be selected:

DIP-1 (ON): input is supplied with 24VDC phantom voltage for condenser microphones.

DIP-1 (OFF): phantom voltage is deactivated.

DIP-2 (ON): input is adjusted to the microphone input sensitivity.

DIP-2 (OFF): input is adjusted to the LINE input sensitivity.

DIP-3 (ON): input low cut ﬁlter (100 Hz) to remove low frequencies, interferences and phase rotation is activated. DIP-3 (OFF):

the highpass ﬁlter (low cut ﬁlter, 100 Hz) is deactivated.
