ULTRADRIVE PRO DCX2496/ULTRADRIVE DCX2496LE Quick
(EN) Step 2: Quick Start
This chapter is for those who cannot wait to use their
new DCX2496(LE) in a practical application. You
will find a description of how you can explore your
DCX2496(LE) and its versatile and intuitive features
below. This chapter is just a starting point for future
excursions. So, please read the entire user's manual
to take full advantage of all your DCX2496(LE)'s
features and functions.
Selecting an Output Configuration
Press the SETUP button to call up the SETUP menu.
On the first menu page, select an output
configuration (OUT CONFI GURATION) to determine
which outputs are used for which frequency
ranges. One mono and three stereo configurations
are available.
The mono configuration allows you to split the input
signal into six different frequency ranges. The stereo
configurations allow a maximum of three different
frequency ranges per stereo side. The abbreviations
L, M and H stand for Low, Mid and High Speaker.
Setting Crossover Frequencies
In order to assign dedicated frequency bands to the
output channels, you have to define the crossover
frequencies (X-Over) for each of them. The crossover
frequencies determine the upper and lower limits
of a frequency band, which allows you to clearly
separate the outputs from each other in terms
of frequency.
Press the corresponding OUT button (1-6) and select
menu page 2/8 using the PAGE buttons. With the
parameters FREQ and TYPE you can define the slope
of the crossover frequency and also select a filter
type. When the parameter X-OVER ADJUST MODE is
set to "LINK", any changes to the crossover frequency
will also shift the neighboring frequency ranges.
Muting Input/Output Channels (Mute)
Press the MUTE button to enter the MUTE menu.
Here you can mute the inputs and outputs of the
DCX2496(LE). On this page you can mute or activate
individual channels by pressing the channel buttons
(IN A-B / A-C and OUT 1-6), or all inputs/outputs
by pressing the PARAM and OK or CANCEL buttons.
Thus, you can monitor each frequency band, either
individually or together with a neighboring band,
to allow perfect editing of the isolated frequency
range. To quit the MUTE menu press MUTE a
second time.
Storing Presets
Use the STORE button to save your presets.
Recalling Presets
Press the RECALL button to load presets from the
internal memory. Select the preset you wish to
recall, then press ENTER. We included some typical
presets that you can use as a basis for your own
applications.
Restoring the Factory Presets
If you wish to restore the ULTRADRIVE's factory
presets, press and hold both PAGE buttons on the
front panel switching on the unit. The DCX2496(LE)
prompts you to confirm (OK) or CANCEL. Press
OK to erase the internal memory and restore the
factory presets.
