DANGEROUS MUSIC

 

Need to step between monitors to see if that distortion is emanating from the speakers or the mix?  
[

toggle

 

mode

]  Or listen to one set for an extended period? [

latch

 

mode

]

 

Need to say, “rolling!” over the 

talkback

 mic to the talent?  [

toggle

 

mode

]  Or leave it open for a 

lengthy discussion between the singer in the tracking room and the drummer in the control room. 
[

latch

 

mode

]

Operation: 

latch

 

mode

. If the buttons are pressed and released quickly, they will latch. 

 

toggle

 

mode

.  If pressed and held for more than a second, the function remains engaged until the 

button is released. 

Tip:

,

  Be certain the 

talkback

 switch is not latched on when finished addressing the artist.   For example: 

To the artist “Okay, we got it.”   To the second engineer “How are we going to get him to sing in 
key?”  Click.  Oops.  A 

talkback

 remote switch plugged into the jack on the rear panel (9) will not 

latch, thus keeping this scenario from happening.

3B. SETUP BUTTONS (MONO, ALT SPKR) 

Setup Mode: To enter 

setup

 

mode

 

press the 

mono

 and 

alt

 

spkr

 

buttons simultaneously (3).  Both switches will 

flash alternately indicating that the D-Box is waiting to set the 

input

 

selection

 

mode

 and the

 

analog

 

input

 

gain

.  To exit 

setup

 

mode

 press one of the flashing switches. The D-Box is now reset and any 

input

 

selection

 

mode

 and/or 

analog

 

input

 

gain

 

mode changes will be saved. 

 Sum Switch: To monitor from up to three sources simultaneously (instead of the default single source), enter 

setup

 

mode

 (above) and press the 

sum

 

switch

 (4).  It will light up.  Next, exit 

setup

 

mode

 and like 

magic, monitor a combination of inputs mixed together. When in 

setup

 

mode

, pressing the lit 

sum

 

switch

 (4) extinguishes the light and returns the D-Box back to normal monitoring mode.  (i.e. one 

input at a time.) So for example, monitor from the 

sum

 

switch

analog

 

switch

 

and either the

 

daw

 

or 

cd

 

switch

.  (The digital switches will not combine).

Analog Input Gain: The 

analog

 

input

 

gain

 is factory calibrated for +4dBu sources.  To accommodate consumer 

and other -10dBV devices, first enter 

setup

 

mode

 

(see above) and then press the 

analog

 

switch

  (4).  

The switch will light and add 11.7dB of gain. Pressing the lit 

analog

 

switch

 (4) while in 

setup

 

mode

 

extinguishes the light and returns the calibration to +4dBu. 

4. INPUT SELECT BUTTONS (SUM, ANALOG, DAW, CD)

Tip:

,

  The Input Select section has two analog and two digital sources to choose from.  The selected input 

is sent to both the speakers and headphone amplifiers.
