LMS-D24/6 Quick Reference Set Up
(LMS-D26 shown)
The LMS-D24 and LMS-D26 are designed for quick setup and adjustment via an easy-to- use menu structure accessed by front panel buttons and 3 rotary encoders. A high resolution backlit LCD display provides the user interface to the menu options and parameters being adjusted.
Input Signal Indicators—three pairs of LED’s indicate signal present, +4dBu and input clip for both channels. The signal present LED’s operate at approximately –40dBu, giving a useful indication of even relatively low input signal levels. The +4dBu LED’s are intended to show nominal operating level and can also be useful for setting system gain structure. Clip LEDs warn the user of input overload and operate at +19dBu.
Starting up
The unit will energise as soon as power is applied to the IEC inlet; there is no power switch. During the start up process the firmware application model number and version numbers are displayed and the outputs are muted until the unit has completed its internal checks. Once the start-up routines are complete and the unit is ready to pass audio, the DSP signal path will be restored to the current settings when it was last powered down and the audio signal is gradually ramped up to its correct level. At this stage the display shows the default screen with the memory location and name of the current Preset on the lower line of text.
About Presets
The unit has 45 memory locations and there is a library of around thirty ‘Factory’ Presets to suit a range of Turbosound enclosures. Factory Presets are locked so they cannot be over-written although edited versions can be stored in the free preset locations. Details of all the Factory Presets can be found in Appendix A of the User Manual (LMSD2x pdf) in the downloads section of our website at www.turbosound.com.
Factory Presets contain some parameters that are fixed and hidden from view; typically crossover frequencies, output delay and some EQs; those settings that are a function of the loudspeaker cabinet design and should not require adjustment for different applications. The number and type of hidden parameters is dependant on the Factory Preset. The remainder of the DSP parameters are available for user manipulation.
