11. The Parameter Menu
11.1 General
After pressing the
PAR
button below the rotary encoder the DMC-842 enters the Parameter
menu. All eight PAR LEDs light up. Turning the encoder knob scrolls through the available op-
tions. After selecting the desired option press and hold the Select key of the channel where the
parameters shall be changed. Turning the encoder knob increases and decreases the current
parameter value.
All changes are stored automatically. With a second push on the PAR button the Parameter
menu is exit.
The Parameter menu grants direct access to settings which are usually handled comfortably by
the use of the included Windows software. Additionally it allows to change settings which might
become of importance in future revisions of the AES42 standard (including upcoming mic-
rophones supporting these settings). But such changes would also be part of an update to the
Windows software. In short, the Parameter menu is not intended to be used daily, but as an
emergency function, giving access to all settings even without the use of a computer.
The Parameter menu includes a direct display only for the most important functions. The others
are configured by a combination of command byte and parameter byte, based on the table
found in the latest revision of the AES42 standard, and further information from the correspon-
ding microphone manufacturer. The DMC-842 and the Windows software provide functionality
based on the AES42 standard revision of 2006.
Note: Microphones often do not support all the features defined in the standard. Settings per-
formed in the Parameter menu may not be carried out by the microphone, if the specific feature
is not supported. The supported features are shown in the Windows software.
11.2 Low Cut (Lo-Cut)
Default: Off
Available settings: Off, 40, 80, 160 (display 0, 1, 2, 3)
This option activates a high-pass (bass removal) within the microphone. This filter can remove
rumble, subsonic-noise and other low frequency noises. The cut-off frequency can be set to 40
Hz, 80 Hz and 160 Hz.
11.3 Directivity Pattern (PAttErn)
Default: 0
Available settings: 0 up to 15 (display 0 up to F, hex coded)
The remote-controlled setting of the directivity patterns is one of the highlights of digital mic-
rophones. The pattern can be adjusted in 15 steps from omnidirectional (1) to cardioid ( 7) up to
figure of eight (15).
