THANK YOU FOR USING THIS KLARK TEKNIK PRODUCT

To obtain maximum performance from this precision electronic product, please study these instructions carefully. Installation and operating the equaliser is not complicated, but the flexibility provided by its operating features merits familiarisation with its controls and connections. This unit has been prepared to comply with the power supply requirements that exist in your location.

Precautions

Before connecting the unit to the mains power, ensure that the operating voltage is correct for your local supply.

It is important that you observe the following instructions if another voltage setting is required.

Do not install this unit in a location subjected to excessive heat, dust or mechanical vibrations.

Voltage Selection and Power Connection

Connection is made by means of an IEC standard power socket. The rear panel voltage label, indicates the voltage required for satisfactory operation of the unit.

Before connecting this unit to the mains supply, ensure the fuse fitted is the correct type and rating is as indicated on the rear panel, adjacent to the fuse holder.

*Mains voltage change should be carried out by a qualified service technician only.

Safety Warning

This unit is fitted with 3-pin power socket: For safety reasons the earth lead should not be disconnected.

Signal 0V is referenced internally to chassis via a resistor capacitor network which provides earth loop immunity.

To prevent shock or fire hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. To avoid electrical shock do not remove covers. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

Attention!

Cables:

This product should only be used with high quality, screened twisted pair audio cables, terminated with metal bodied 3-pin XLR connectors. The cable should be connected to pin 1. Any other cable type or configuration for the audio signals may result in degraded performance due to electromagnetic interference.

Electric Fields:

Should this product be used in an electromagnetic field that is amplitude modulated by an audio frequency signal (20Hz to 20kHz), the signal to noise ratio may be degraded. Degradation of up to 60dB at a frequency corresponding to the modulation signal may be experienced under extreme conditions (3V/m, 90% modulation).

DN360 specifications

The Klark Teknik DN360 is a legendary graphic equalizer that has made its mark in the world of sound engineering and music production. Renowned for its robust construction, precise sound manipulation, and intuitive usability, the DN360 is a staple in professional audio environments, including live sound reinforcement, recording studios, and broadcast facilities.

One of the standout features of the DN360 is its 30-band graphic equalization, which operates over a range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. This extensive frequency range allows sound engineers to make finely tailored adjustments to audio signals, ensuring each frequency can be enhanced or attenuated to meet the specific needs of any performance or recording situation. The equalizer provides a 1/3 octave frequency spacing, which is critical in facilitating detailed control over audio content without introducing unwanted phase issues.

The DN360 employs advanced circuit design and high-quality components to ensure impeccable audio fidelity. One of its key technologies is the use of low-noise, high-performance circuitry, which contributes to the clarity of sound even at extreme levels. The equalizer also integrates an innovative feedback detection system, which helps in preventing feedback issues when used in live applications, a common challenge faced by audio professionals in dynamic settings.

In addition to the powerful equalization capabilities, the DN360 is designed with user-friendliness in mind. The layout features an intuitive front panel, making it easy for sound engineers to make quick adjustments during performances. The LED-level meters provide clear visual feedback, allowing for real-time monitoring of audio levels.

Another notable characteristic of the Klark Teknik DN360 is its rugged construction, which is essential for durability in demanding environments. The unit is housed in a sturdy metal chassis that can withstand the rigors of touring and frequent use, ensuring longevity and reliability.

The DN360 also offers a variety of connectivity options, seamlessly fitting into different professional audio setups. Balanced XLR inputs and outputs are provided, ensuring a clean signal path and minimal interference. Furthermore, the equalizer supports both stereo and dual-mono operation modes, enhancing its flexibility in various audio applications.

Overall, the Klark Teknik DN360 stands as a testament to innovation in audio processing equipment, delivering unmatched performance and versatility for professionals in the audio industry. Whether in a studio or on the road, it is a powerful tool for achieving sonic excellence.
