DC-One
8 Owner‘s Manual
2 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Electro-Voice DC-One Digital Signal Processor. The Electro-Voice DC-One
Digital System Processor is a universal two-input, six-output digital signal processor with the flexibility of
configuration to handle a multitude of audio system needs and applications; installed sound, house of
worship, convention & meeting facilities, concert touring, club, portable sound reinforcement and more.
2.1 DC-One Features
The internal routing matrix can be configured as 2-way full-range, 3-way stereo, 4-way mono +
full-range, 5-way mono + full range, 3-way stereo with a mono sub + full-range, 4-way stereo with mono
sub and low frequency and finally as a freely assignable 2 x 6 matrix router.
The DC-One replaces entire racks of signal processors previously needed to properly configure and
control sound reinforcement systems with a single Analog Devices® SHARC™ DSP processor. The
substantial advantages of the DC-One over discrete signal processing racks include:
• 24-bit, 48 kHz digital signal path
• No patch cables to fail or add noise
• Optimal gain structure throughout all stages of signal processing; no gain matching from processor to
processor.
• Recallable factory and user presets; instant system reconfiguration for differing applications and per-
formances.
• Easy, intuitive operation and editing with a PC and the DC-One Graphic User Interface Application.
Each DC-One Digital System Processor includes the following signal processing blocks:
• Input VU Metering
• Analog or AES/EBU inputs
• 24-bit, 48 kHz A/D converters
• Stereo Hi-pass filters
• Stereo 9-band parametric equalizer
• Stereo 31-band graphic equalizer
• Stereo delay
IMPORTANT NOTE:
To achieve optimum performance and guard against damage to the proces-
sor, your sound system or yourself, please read, understand and follow all of
the directions contained in this Owner’s Manual. Failure to do so may result
in improper performance, loss or injury.
