Important: Although the DN200 will
function as a mono device when only
one channel is connected, both channels
must be powered to use stereo, split or
sum modes.
Correct operation
Each input channel is sourced from a balanced
XLR/¼" Jack Neutrik Combo A Series connector
or an unbalanced Phono/RCA connector with
the provision of applying a 20 dB pad prior to
the input buff er stage.
As described above, both Left and Right inputs
can be summed to both outputs and the
Left input can be split to both Left and Right
outputs. For full operation, both the Left and
Right outputs should be phantom-powered:
• •
In 'Sum' mode the phantom power sourced
from the left output will also power the
right channel, but with reduced drive
capability. In order for the DN200 to
operate correctly in this mode, both the
left and right outputs should be connected
and phantom-powered.
• •
In 'Split' mode, there is no crosspowering
between channels and so when only one
output connection is made, it should be
made to the Left input. The Right output
will only provide an output signal when the
Left output is also phantom-powered.
Description
(1) Unbalanced stereo input phono
connectors with 20 kΩ input impedance.
(2) Electronically balanced, Neutrik Combo I
Series, stereo input connectors. Connect
either balanced female XLRs (pin 2 hot)
or ¼" Jacks. Input impedances are 20 kΩ
and 1 MΩ, respectively.
(3) 20 dB pad switch. When on (integral
yellow LED illuminated), 20 dB of
attenuation is applied to the signal prior
to the output stage from any stereo
input source.
(4) Earth LIFT switch. When on (integral
green LED illuminated), the internal
ground is disconnected from both output
channels. Depending on the grounding
of the connected devices, connecting or
disconnecting the ground will help to
eliminate hum or prevent ground loops.
(5) +48 V phantom power LED. Illuminates
to indicate that phantom power is on for
its local input.
(6) Primary stereo analogue outputs via
transformer balanced XLRs (pin 2 hot).
(7) Link stereo outputs via electronically
balanced TRS ¼" Jacks.
(8) SPLIT switch. When on (integral blue
LED illuminated), the left input is fed
to the left and right outputs. The right
input is, eff ectively, muted.
(9) SUM switch. When on (integral blue LED
illuminated), the left and right inputs
are summed together and fed to the left
output only.
