FUNCTIONS (rear)
12. ON/OFF SWITCH: used to switch the unit on/off. Even though the unit has soft startup, we advice to
switch the processor on before the amplifiers.
13. MAINS INPUT with IEC socket and integrated fuse holder, connect the supplied mains cable here.
14. USB CONNECTOR: used to connect the processor to a PC or laptop. With the supplied software you
can set all parameters in real time with your PC. This is much more convenient than setting up
everything directly on the processor. See further for more information.
15. RS-485 IN/OUT: can be used to interconnect several DLP-6 MK2 processors in a larger installation,
using CAT-5E (Ethernet) cable. Don't for get to set the device ID's! (see chapter "how to use") You can
also use these connections to extend the PC-link to max 100m. On the PC-side you should connect the
supplied RS-485/USB converter.
16. BALANCED OUTPUTS: use balanced XLR-cables to connect the different amplifiers to the processor.
17. BALANCED INPUTS: use balanced XLR-cables to connect the processor to the output of you mixer.
SOME WORDS EXPLAINED
Maybe it's a good idea to briefly explain some terms before we explain how this unit should be used.
DELAY ON INPUT
In big venues and for outdoor applications delays can be very useful to compensate the time lag between
individual speaker stacks. For example between the speaker stack near the podium and delay towers further
in the audience. The DLP-6 MK2 can introduce input delays up to 682,52ms or 235,07m!
DELAY ON OUTPUTS
Is used to align the individual components of a speaker stack with each other. For example you can have
mid/high cabinets flown and subwoofers on the floor: in this case the DLP-6 MK2 can compensate the time
differences with a delay, up to 2000ms or 688,86m, on each output.
PARAMETRIC EQ
A parametric equalizer is a very effective band-pass filter with adjustable gain, center frequency and
bandwidth. It's often used to correct speakers, prevent feedback, eliminate unwanted resonances, etc. In
most cases a 5band parametric EQ is more than enough to adjust the sound to perfection.
HIGH / LOW SHELF FILTERS
Shelving filters are useful to restore the overall balance of high and low frequencies.
A low-shelf filter: passes all frequencies, but boosts or cuts frequencies below the cutoff frequency by
specified amount.
Example1: if the overall bass response of a
system is weak, you can use a low-shelf filter
to increase the low frequencies.
Example2: On the drawing a low-shelf filter is
used with frequency = 200Hz and gain set to

-18dB all frequencies below 200Hz are
reduced by -18dB.
A high-shelf filter: passes all frequencies,
but boosts or cuts frequencies above the
cutoff frequency by specified amount.
Example: If your mix sounds a little harsh, you can use a high-shelf to reduce the high frequencies without
completely eliminating some frequencies, as would happen with a normal high-cut filter.
