DP11EQ SOFTWARE

Introduction

This section describes the Windows-based computer interface software which allows you to control the Shure DP11EQ . The software controls a dynamics processor which can operate as a gate, expander, leveler, compressor, limiter, and no overshoot peak limiter. There are parametric equalizers placed before and after the dynamics processor. In addition, there is a digital delay which can add up to 1.3 seconds of delay from input to output.

Minimum Computer Requirements

The following are the minimum requirements to run the Shure DP11EQ software.

SOne 486DX 50 MHz IBM*-compatible computer (math coprocessor required)

S2 MB hard drive space

S4 MB RAM

SWindows version 3.1x, or greater

S1 available RS-232 serial (COM) port

SOne RS-232 cable to connect the COM port of the computer to the DB-9 connector of the DP11EQ

Connecting the DP11EQ to a Computer via the RS-232 (COM) Port

Before connecting the DP11EQ to the computer, determine whether the computer's RS-232 (COM) port is 9-pin or 25-pin. Use the proper cable (purchased separately). For RS-232 cable diagrams, see Appendix C. Cables and Connectors

TO COMPUTER

RS-232 CONNECTOR

TO DP11EQ RS-232 CABLE (9-PIN MALE)

1.Connect the 9-pin plug (male) of the cable to the RS-232 port of the DP11EQ .

2.Connect the other end of the cable to the RS-232 port of the computer.

Software Installation

1.Insert the supplied 3.5-in floppy disk into the disk drive of your computer.

2.For computers running Windows 95 or Windows NT, click on the Start button , then select Run...

For computers running Windows 3.1, click on the File heading of the main menu of the Program Manager, then click on Run...

3.In the Run window, type ªa:\setupº, where ªaº is the drive containing the disk.

4.Shure Setup will suggest a destination on your hard disk for the DP11EQ files. Shure Setup will check the computer hardware to ensure that a coprocessor is present. Setup will also prompt you for your name and organizational information.

NOTE: Remember to register your software by filling out and mailing the enclosed registration card, or online via the Shure World Wide Web site (ªhttp://www.shure.comº). This will ensure that you receive information about software updates with additional features as they become available.
