28 – Balanced XLR Outputs

Each output channel has an electronically balanced XLR connector for connection to system amplifiers. Each output channel can output different frequency ranges depending on its assignment and cross-over settings.

Care must be taken to assure that each output is connected to an appropriate amplifier and loudspeaker to avoid damage or unexpected results. Note that a new preset may change the assignment of channel and its frequency range. For instance an output assigned to Hi frequency speakers in one preset, may be assigned as a sub output in another. See chapter “Configurations of the DC-One” for connection examples.

29 – AES/EBU Digital Input

In addition to the analog audio inputs, an AES/EBU digital stereo input is provided and selectable in the Setup menu. The input conforms to IEC standard 60958 Type I. Connections must be made with three-conductor, 110-Ohm, twisted pair cabling and an XLR connector.

30 – Balanced XLR Thru

Each analog audio input is connected to an electronically buffered and balanced output as a through connector. The signal does not go undergo any digital conversion or processing. These connectors are used to pass input audio to a second DC-One used as a slave or to other audio inputs in the system.

31 – Balanced XLR Inputs

Each input has an electronically balanced, locking XLR connector. In stereo or dual modes, connections to both inputs must be made. In mono modes, only one connection need be made, typically to Input A.

32 – -6dB Pad

Input levels to the DC-One can be reduced -6dB prior to the A/D converter to compensate for higher-level output from mixers and other audio devices. For ideal signal to noise performance when connecting the DC-One to high output level devices engage the -6dB pad rather than turning down the output of the connected device. The DC-One’s Input Level Meters (2) will indicate incoming signal level and whether attenuation is required.

Speaker System specifications

Electro-Voice, a brand renowned for its high-quality audio solutions, has long been a pioneer in the speaker system market. The Electro-Voice Speaker System offers a diverse array of products designed to cater to a multitude of audio needs, from professional touring to installation in venues and home use.

One of the standout features of the Electro-Voice speaker systems is their innovative design, which combines durability with aesthetic appeal. Constructed with rugged, weather-resistant materials, they are built to withstand the rigors of touring while maintaining exceptional performance in various environments. This makes them a popular choice for live sound engineers and musicians alike.

In terms of sound quality, Electro-Voice speakers utilize advanced technologies such as the patented Constant Directivity Horns, which provide broad coverage and minimize distortion. This is particularly crucial in larger venues, where maintaining clarity and presence can be a challenge. The use of high-performance transducers ensures that the audio output is balanced across all frequencies, delivering crisp highs, rich mids, and powerful lows.

Another impressive characteristic is the intelligent integration of digital signal processing (DSP) in many of their systems. This technology allows for precise control over sound customization, enabling users to tune their speakers for specific applications or venue acoustics. The DSP capabilities help optimize sound quality while protecting the system from potential damage due to overdrive or feedback.

Portability is another key aspect of the Electro-Voice speaker system lineup. Many models are designed to be lightweight and easy to transport, allowing for quick setup and takedown, making them ideal for mobile DJs and bands. Moreover, the flexible rigging options available with multiple models ensure that users can adapt the speakers' positioning to maximize sound performance.

Electro-Voice also emphasizes connectivity with modern audio systems. Many of their speakers are equipped with versatile input options, making them compatible with various mixing consoles, amplifiers, and other sound equipment. This flexibility simplifies integration into existing setups and enhances usability across different scenarios.

Additionally, the aesthetic design of Electro-Voice speakers, often featuring sleek lines and contemporary finishes, allows them to blend seamlessly into a variety of environments, from high-end venues to casual settings.

Overall, the Electro-Voice speaker system stands out for its combination of robust construction, superior sound quality, advanced technology, portability, and versatile connectivity options. Whether for professional sound reinforcement or personal audio enjoyment, these systems facilitate a remarkable audio experience that has become synonymous with the Electro-Voice brand.
