2. INTRODUCTION

DAM514 DIGITAL AUDIO MIXER
The DAM514 is a digital audio mixer featuring 5 audio inputs and 4 outputs, DSP processing, RS-
232 connectivity and four remote control ports (0-10VDC).
Main features

3 stereo line inputs, with RCA connectors

2 balanced dual inputs (microphone/line), with Euroblock connectors, configurable as
independent inputs (mono) or as a fourth stereo linked input

4 balanced audio outputs, with Euroblock connectors: each output is configurable as a separate
zone output (mono) or as a linked output for a stereo zone (1&2/3&4)

DSP with 24-bit quantization and 48kHz sampling frequency

2x20 characters LCD Display on the front panel

4 setup keys + digital rotary encoder to navigate in the menus and set the parameters

1 backlit LED key (MUTE or selection function + input or output channel setup) for each input and
each output (9 in total)

4 REMOTE ports (0-10VDC) to control the volume of inputs or outputs, select sources, recall
presets etc. from external devices, such as WPm series panels

PAGER port to connect the MPAGE4 4-zone paging station

MUTE port for the muting of one or several output zones via external contact closure

RS-232 interface and compatibility with EclerCOMM software (free download from
http://www.ecler.com/en/products/software.html) and CA-NET protocol for external remote
control

Processing:
o Independent level controls for each input and output
o Independent mixing of a combination of inputs (channel activation and level) for each
output zone (up to 4 independent mixes)
o Independent 3-band tone adjustment (BASS-MID-TREBLE) for each input
o Independent crossover filters for each output
o Independent 10-band graphic equalizer for each output
o High-Pass filter with adjustable frequency for the MIC/LINE inputs (inputs 4 and 5)
o PAGER/DUCKER, independently configurable for inputs 4 and 5, with 2 priority levels
o Noise gate, independently configurable for inputs 4 and 5
o Audio feedback (Larsen effect) suppressor, independently configurable for inputs 4 and 5

System templates for the creation of user setups:
o T1: 4 stereo inputs
o T2: 4 stereo inputs
o T3: 4 stereo inputs
o T4: 3 stereo inputs + 2 mono inputs
o T5: 3 stereo inputs + 2 mono inputs
o T6: 3 stereo inputs + 2 mono inputs
Each system template automatically sets the operating and control mode of the channels and
their settings, including the stereo linked group they pertain to. Example: in a stereo input or
output configuration, the settings applied to the left channel are also automatically applied to the
right channel, and vice versa

User presets: 20

Editing names (labels) of inputs, outputs and user presets

Three front panel locking modes, with password protection: total, with the exception of
MUTE/VOL for inputs and outputs, or with the exception of MUTE/VOL of outputs and activation
and input levels
