Quick installation guide 

 

1.1 Basic  connect ion and settings 

 

CONECTIONS 

Power supply 

 

 

Before  plug  in; 

check

 

the  position  of  the 

AC  VOLTAGE  selector, 

on  the  rear  panel 

(200-240 V, 50/60Hz; or 100-130 V, accords 
to correspond). 

Inputs  

 

 

Analogical  audio  inputs  are  balanced,  using 
XLR  (female)  connectors.  Connect  the 
PROGRAM  OUTPUTS  of  your  console  to 
these  inputs.  Take  care  of  not  invert  the 
phase of the channels. 
 

 

Optionally;  the  462dsp  has  digital  AES-3 
(AES/EBU) input, for digital consoles or links. 
This  input  supports  16/24  bits  and  sample 
rates from 30 up to 96 KH. When the digital 
input is used, we recommend connecting the 
analogical  inputs  too.  462dsp  will  switch 
automatically to these inputs in case of failure 
on the AES-3 signal.  

Outputs 

 

 

Connects  the  462’s  MPX  output  (BNC)  to 
your transmitter exciter.  

Power on 

 

 

The  unit  has  an  ON/OFF  switch  on  the  rear 
panel. The main screen Hill show a welcome 
splash on start up; and then will load the last 
used program.  

 

 

 

SETTINGS

 

Controls 

 

 

 

 

All  settings  values  are  entered  using  a 
JOG  Wheel.  Turn  the  JOG  to  select 
options  and  to  change  values.  Pressing 
briefly  the  JOG,  confirms  an  option. 
Pressing and holding the JOG (around one 
second),  go  to  the  main  menu.  Each 
screen  graphically  indicates  the  actions 
available with the JOG (see figure).  
 

Input 

 

 

The  default  input  level  is  +4  dBu.  If  your 
console  manages  a  different  level,  you 
must adjust the processor input level. 
Press briefly the JOG to enter to the main 
menu.  Choose  the  option  “Setup  Input” 
and  adjust  the  level  according  to  the 
nominal specified on your console.  
 

Programs 

 

 

Your  radio  already  is  on  the  air  with  the 
sound  of  the  Solidyne  462dsp.  At  this 
point,  you  must  be  anxious  to  listen  what 
462dsp is able to do with the sound of your 
radio on the air… to begin we will explain 
briefly  how  to  select  the  factory  presets. 
Tunes  your  radio  in  a  good  audio 
equipment and do the following: 
 

 

Turn  the  JOG. 

Note  on  the  screen  how 

the  different  presets  programs  names 
changes. 

Pressing

  briefly  the  wheel 

load 

the  program

,  changing  the  processing 

and the sound on the air. 

 

The 15 PRESET PROGRAMS can not be 
changed. You have 15 USER MEMORIES 
to  create  your  own  adjustments.  You  can 
start  copying  a  preset  program  to  a  user 
memory, and soon modifying it.
