Quick Start

5. QUICK START

This paragraph describes in an overview the most important steps for a trouble-free operation of the DSP 244 in your PA-system. For a more detailed description of specific functions and parameters, please refer to the corresponding paragraph in the handbook.

MAINS CONNECTION

Plug in the supplied mains cord. Since the integrated power supply is capable of handling AC voltages between 90 V and 250 V, 50 / 60 Hz, within these limits no adjustments or switching is necessary.

AUDIO CONNECTIONS

Before integrating and operating the DSP 244 in your PA-system, you should determine which system configuration you are using. Chapter 6, CONFIGURATIONS OF THE DSP 244, provides you with a complete description of all possible configurations including their specific input and output assignments. Connect the appliance according to the chosen configuration. Do not feed in any audio signal yet.

POWER-ON OPERATION

After installing the DSP 244 in your PA-system setup and before operating it for the first time, please set the input controls INPUT1 / INPUT2 all the way counterclockwise, so that at this moment no audio signal is fed to the audio outputs. The appliance is factory-pre-set to the program F01 which is a universal preset for stereo 2-way operation. In case the appliance had previously been operated, it can start-up with any other program or configuration.

PROGRAM SELECTION

Together with the DSP 244 you receive a listing of all available factory presets. In case you are using a DYNACORD loudspeaker system that is listed, just select the corresponding program number and your PA-system is optimally configured.

If your loudspeaker system is not listed try a Generic preset together with a suitable configuration. Generic presets are available for all 7 configurations, offering preference settings that provide good results with any system setup.

For direct program selection press RECALL, select the desired program using the rotary encoder and to confirm your selection, press RECALL again (see also chapter 7.1, PROGRAM SELECTION).

LEVEL SETTING

Turn the input controls INPUT1 / INPUT2 clockwise, so that the level meters indicate values between -12dB and -6dB; whilst there has to be only a little or no distortion at all. This guarantees best results for the S/N ratio.

CHANGING PARAMETERS

The DSP 244 is factory preset to the NO EDIT mode; e. g. parameter changes are not possible. You have to enter FULL EDIT mode to be able to edit parameters (see also chapter 9.2, OPERATION MODE SELECTION).

Editing factory pre-set programs is not possible. If you want to change the parameters of a factory pre-set program, you have to copy the program to a user definable preset in advance (U01 - U30) and save this preset under a different name (see chapter 7.4, MODIFYING FACTORY PRESET PROGRAMS).

Now you are able to change the parameter values in the EDIT menu; as described in chapter 7.2,

EDITING.
