2.1. Intended use
The d&b DS100 Signal Engine is a specialized 3 RU, 19" rack
mount audio processor with Audinate Dante audio networking.
In its base configuration, it provides a 64 x 64 level / delay audio
matrix. Additional software modules provide dynamic source
positioning and emulated acoustics functions.
NOTICE!
The device complies with the electromagnetic compatibility
requirements of EN 55103 (product family standard for audio,
video, audio-visual and entertainment lighting control apparatus for
professional use) for the environments E1 (residential), E2 (business
and commercial), E3 (outdoor use in urban areas) and E4
(outdoor use in rural areas).
Acoustic interferences and malfunctions may occur if the unit is
operated in the immediate vicinity of high-frequency transmitters
(e.g. wireless microphones, mobile phones, etc.). Damage to the
device is unlikely but cannot be excluded.
2.1.1. Software Terms of Use
The software modules installed on the DS100 shall only be used to
the extent intended/documented. d&b shall not be liable for any
damage resulting from any other or non-conforming use.
You may not decompile, copy, alter or enhance the software
modules installed on the DS100or their source codes in any form.
d&b will investigate any infringement of copyright or intellectual
property rights.
2.2. Application
The DS100 Signal Engine is a versatile tool for large and complex
audio systems that are used to route and distribute a large number
of audio channels to many different amplifier channels, break out
rooms, loudspeaker zones, or positions.
The DS100 completely integrates with the overall d&b system
approach which includes loudspeakers, amplifiers, rigging,
transport and networking accessories, and the DS10 Audio
network bridge. The DS10 interfaces between Dante audio
networking and the AES3 inputs of the d&b amplifiers.
d&b audio systems including the DS100 are designed and
optimized using the d&b ArrayCalc simulation software and are
controlled using the d&b R1 Remote control software.
The comprehensive input processing provides Gain, EQ, Delay,
Mute and Polarity switches enabling the user to combine all types
of input signals to create a mix of audio signals from a wide variety
of sources. Extended processing capabilities are also provided on
every output.
The audio matrix with level, mute, and delay controls at every
crosspoint is a very flexible tool to either simply distribute audio
signals to the intended output or, if the crosspoint delay is enabled,
to position audio sources in a distributed loudspeaker setup.
