5.4 Output Gain Reduction Meters
Each output channel has a four-segment gain reduction meter that shows the effect of the
output channel Limiter on output level; from 0dB to -12dB. Output limiting can be bypassed
by entering Edit mode, selecting Output Channel Limiter and selecting a limiter threshold of
+21 dBu (8.691V) or turning the Bypass parameter to “On”.
5.5 Output Channel Mute Buttons
Each output channel has a lighted Mute button. Pressing the Mute button turns off the output of that
channel. The button lights red as an alert. Press the Mute button again to restore the output channel’s
signal.
5.6 Output Channel Function Indicators
Each output channel has a four-segment function display for informational purposes only. For
any given configuration possible with the DC-One, an output channel may be identified as a
sub, low, low/mid, mid, mid/hi, hi or full range output. One or two adjacent LED’s are
displayed to indicate all possible output bandpasses. (Full range is indicated by no lit LED’s.)
5.7 Preset Recall
The DC-One preset memory provides 60 factory
program presets and can store up to 20 user presets.
(F01-F60, U01–U20) Factory presets have been
designed to represent common system configurations
utilizing Electro-Voice loudspeaker systems. User
presets allow you to accommodate other system
configurations and / or loudspeaker systems.
To recall a preset, press the front panel Recall button. The display
switches to the Recall Preset screen and displays the next in a list of
available presets in memory. Using the Value Up and Down buttons,
select the preset to be recalled. Valid presets will display the preset
name. Empty presets will display a “?”.
Select a valid preset and press Recall again. The display will
prompt, “Recall Preset? Press Recall”. Press Recall a third time to confirm and load the new preset.
If the preset you are recalling is based on a configuration different from that of the current preset, the
display will prompt,
“Changing config can damage speakers” , to remind you that the new preset may
not be appropriate for your system as it is currently connected. Press Recall again to confirm and load the
new preset.
Make sure that the new preset is appropriate for your system, and that con-
nections to your system are correct for the current configuration. Failure to
do so could cause unexpected results or damage to the system or its com-
ponents.
