Using Device Presets
Using Device Presets
Device presets allow configuration, DSP, channel assignment, gains, as well as other settings to be stored for later recall. A device preset can be used to configure the amp
for a specific application and speaker model. For example, you might use one device preset that optimizes the amp’s DSP for a JBL tri-amplified speaker system. Or, you
might use a device preset that sets up the DSP for a stereo pair of loudspeakers of your choice.
Up to 20 presets can be stored within a DCi DA amplifier (1 factory default preset and 19 user-definable presets). Additional presets can be stored to a computer using Audio
Archtect. Preset 1 is the factory default device preset and cannot be overwritten. It sets up the amplifier for pass-thru operation with no DSP features enabled. Presets 2-20
are user device presets and can be overwritten.
Amplifier Presets
The DCi DA amplifier works with two types of presets:
•
User Presets
– Using Audio Architect you can create your own custom DSP presets, label them, and send them to the DCi DA amplifier. The amp stores those
presets in firmware.
•
Downloadable Presets
– Available for download from a variety of manufacturers, these presets are configured for optimal performance and can be sent to the
amplifier via Audio Architect.
User Presets
User presets are DSP presets that are configured manually. To set up a user preset, follow these steps:
1�
Adjust the DSP settings as desired in Audio Architect.
2�
Press the
STORE
button from the amplifier's Configuration panel in Audio Architect to store the settings as a preset. A prompt will appear, allowing you to change the
preset name and select the desired preset slot.
3�
If you adjusted the DSP settings and stored the preset in offline mode, go online to send the preset to the amplifier. If you adjusted the DSP settings and stored the
preset in online mode, changes to the DSP settings and presets will be stored in the amplifier in real time. See the Audio Architect help file for further details.
