Input and output connections are made via complementary XLR style sockets.
Low cut filter switch enables a 30Hz subsonic filter to be connected in or out of circuit.
The power switch is a two pole type, isolating both the live and neutral conductors. When the power is on, a red status LED lights.
The input level control allows the system gain to be up to+6dB when in its fully clockwise position, and offers full attenuation in
its anti-clockwise position.

Front Panel Functions

The high quality faders used in this equaliser have an oil-damped action for smooth operation and feature a centre detent following accurate "flat" setting.

The scale switch selects maximum boost and cut for the equaliser of either 6dB or12dB. The centre position of this switch performs the bypass function, which silently removes the graphic equaliser section from the signal path.

The Overload LED The signal level is monitored at several separate points within the circuitry of the unit, and any one of these signals exceeding a threshold, set 3dB below clipping, will cause the LED to light. This threshold is set at +19dB, but it must be remembered that excessive boost of some frequencies combined with a high average input signal, can occasionally cause this level to be exceeded. In this event, the input level control should be turned down to correct the problems. However, if the input signal itself exceeds +19dBu the input stage will be overloaded. If this problem arises, the signal level from the output of the preceding piece of equipment must be turned down.

Rear Panel Functions

The mains fuse is located in a fuse holder, fitted to the rear panel. Always replace with the correct type and rating of fuse, as indicated adjacent to the fuse holder.

Main is supplied via an IEC standard 3 pin connector. A compatible power cable

is supplied with the unit.

The serial number of this unit should be quoted in any correspondence concerning the unit.

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.
