HIGH-PASS / LOW-PASS / BAND-PASS FILTERS
A low-pass filter: blocks unwanted high-frequency signals.
Example: you can use a LP-filter at 150Hz to filter the input of a subwoofer.
A high-pass filter: blocks unwanted low-frequency signals.
Example: you can use a HP-filter at 150Hz to filter the input of a mid/high cabinet.
A band-pass filter: you can combine a low-pass and high-pass filter to obtain a band-pass filter.
Example: you can use a BP-filter at 1,2kHz and 8,0kHz to filter the input of compression driver.
LIMITER AND COMPRESSOR - DIFFERENCES
The main difference between a limiter and compressor is the compression ratio. A limiter uses a ratio of 10:1
to 100:1 or even infinite, while a compressor will use a ratio of 10:1 or less.
A compressor reduces the dynamic range (louder parts made softer, softer parts made louder) so it reacts
as a sort of dynamic volume control. Therefore it's often used in radio studios.
A limiter "limits" the signal as soon as it reaches the threshold level. Therefore limiters are often used to
reduce peaks and protect your equipment (loudspeakers). The higher the compression ratio, the better the
protection.
HOW TO USE
Speaker management processors can tune your sound to perfection but in the hands of people with little or
no experience they can literally destroy the sound, and sometimes even the loudspeakers! So please
experiment and read a lot about their possibilities before you start using them, on the internet you can find a
lot of fine articles... Don't say we didn't warn you!
TWO METHODS TO ADJUST THE SETTINGS
PC-SOFTWARE: this is the easiest, fastest and most intuitive way, see further for more information.
ON THE DLP-6 MK2: more time consuming, this method is explained below.
USING THE MENUS AND GENERAL SETUP
The complete menu structure is shown below: press the DIAL (4) to browse the different menu items, press
the NEXT/PREVIOUS buttons (5&6) to browse the submenus. Below you can find more information on each
item. Some terms are briefly explained in the previous chapter.
INPUT PARAMETERS – GAIN
Used to adjust the input gain of the DLP-6
MK2 processor.
INPUT GAIN: turn the DIAL (4) to adjust
the input gain from -40dB to +12dB in
0,1dB steps.
INPUT MUTE: press the button (10) to
activate, press the button (9) to
deactivate.
INPUT PARAMETERS – DELAY
The display shows the delays in meter,
milliseconds and foot. The DLP-6 MK2 can
introduce input delays up to 682,52ms or
235,07m!
SMALL STEPS: turn the DIAL (4) to
adjust the delay in small 21µs steps.
BIG STEPS: press the /buttons
(9&10) to adjust the delay in big 5,20ms
steps.
INPUT PARAMETERS – EQUALIZER
Both input channels have a 6band EQ,
each band can have different settings. Use
the /buttons (9&10) to jump between
the different parameter settings:
ON/OFF: for each band you can choose
