OPERATION

A.Determines whether the outputs will stay muted on power up until manually switched off (Mute Hold) or the level will gradually fade up to the operating level (Fade In). The fade-in time is fixed.

B.Fade-in: Mutes are off, but Output channels rise to programmed levels gradually.

C.Mute Hold: All Output channels are muted until the mutes are manually disabled either on the front panel or through the GUI.

3.Delay Time/Distance: Selects the Delay unit display for either Time, Meters, or Feet

NOTE: Though there are some variables, generally speaking the speed of sound in 71 degree Fahrenheit dry air at sea level is ~773miles per hour. This is ~345 meters per sec- ond and about 1.13 feet per millisecond. .5 milliseconds equates to about 6.78 inches.

7.5Interface Submenu

This submenu deals with the PC interface and includes setting for baud rate and ID num- ber.

Press MENU, then NEXT three times and then ENTER twice. Use the BACK/NEXT and ENTER buttons to adjust the Subsystem Submenu. The PARAM dial may also be used to enter values. Subsystem Submenu items are as follows:

1.RS232 baud rate and address code setting: Select 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400 baud rate according to different PC capabilities.

2.Remote ID NUM: Select 1~32. Use this function when multiple DS24/DS26 units are used. Master Control unit is set as 1; slave units are set with subsequent numbers.

7.6Parameter

Parameter lets you set the specific values for a configuration. Generally these are set for the outputs of the device. Inputs require only a gain setting. Parameters include such things as polarity, EQ, Limiter, Delay, HiPass Filter, LoPass Filter, and Filter Type.

7.6.1Gain:

The first two presses of the GAIN button will offer Input Level adjustment for A and B. The third press takes you to the Outputs. Once in Outputs, additional presses of GAIN will cycle you through the four or six outputs. (The system will display the last Output selected from the previous editing session.)

7.6.1.1Inputs:

Press GAIN to enter the Parameter setup menu. Set the gain for Input A using the PARAM dial. Press NEXT and set the gain for Input B using the PARAM dial.

The BBE DS26 is a multi-channel digital signal processor that offers comprehensive control over audio signals through its user-friendly interface. One of its main features is the advanced 24-bit/96kHz sample rate processing, which ensures high-fidelity sound reproduction. This model supports up to 6 inputs and 6 outputs, allowing for flexible routing and mixing configurations. Additionally, the DS26 is equipped with BBE's proprietary high-definition audio processing technology, which enhances clarity and detail in the sound, making it ideal for both live sound reinforcement and studio applications.

On the other hand, the BBE DS24 is a slightly more compact version, designed primarily for use in smaller setups without compromising on audio quality. It supports 2-channel input and output, making it an excellent option for smaller venues or personal studio use. The DS24 also features BBE's Sonic Maximizer technology, which helps restore lost clarity and dynamic range in audio signals. This feature is particularly beneficial for audio systems that have been compromised by over-compression or poor acoustics.

Both models incorporate a range of cutting-edge technologies, such as digital shelving filters and parametric equalization, which provide users with precise control over their sound. The DS26 offers additional features like delay adjustments and crossover functions, making it suitable for complex audio environments where precise timing and frequency management are essential.

In terms of build quality, both the DS26 and DS24 are designed for durability and reliability, making them capable of withstanding the rigors of live performances. They also offer multiple connectivity options, including balanced XLR and TRS outputs, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment.

In conclusion, the BBE DS26 and DS24 are advanced digital signal processors that provide exceptional audio processing capabilities. With their high-quality sound reproduction, user-friendly interfaces, and advanced technologies, they are ideal for both professional and personal audio applications, delivering exceptional performance in a variety of settings.
