The ENTER key allows the user to recall a program. For further details, please refer to the chapter
called "Operation".
Press the ENTER key, and rotating the PARAMETER encoder selects a program. Press ENTER again
to activate the desired program. In EDIT mode, the encoder is used to alter parameter values or scroll
through function blocks. For further details, please refer to the chapter called "Operation".
These rotary controls are used to set the levels of output channels, allowing the user to match the
DN9824 to the input levels of the following chained devices. Correctly setting these controls results in
an improved Signal to Noise ratio. In most cases, good results are achieved when setting the controls to
their center detented position (-6dB). The digital output gain control (accessed in each output menu)
should be used only when higher output levels are needed. It is not recommended to use the digital
output gain control for large attenuation, since this would reduce the dynamic range of the D/A
converters.
These rotary controls also provide push key functionality, which, in the EDIT mode, allow the user to
switch between the same function block in different output channels.
These keys allow the user to mute the output signal of the corresponding output. Pressing a key once
switches the mute function ON, and the key's red LED lights. Pressing the key again switches the mute
function OFF and the key's LED is switched off.
These LED's indicate which frequency band each channel is set to. If a channel is configured for full
range operation, all of its' function LED's are lit simultaneously.
These meters indicate the peak level of the corresponding output. The DN9824 should be operated at a
level such that the clip LED's are not lit, as this could indicate internal clipping. The meter response can
be set to "Peak-Hold", "Normal fast" or "Slow Decay" using the OPTIONS menu.
The LIMIT LED's light when the compressor/limiter of the corresponding channel is activated; e.g.
when the audio signal level exceeded the previously set threshold and, therefore, the output level is
compressed or limited.
The CLIPindicator lights when the signal exceeds the output signal range.
This switch turns the DN9824's mains power ON and OFF. The KT logo above the switch will
illuminate when power is switched on.
