BBE DS26, DS24 manual Creating a Program, Gains, Delays, Limiters

® CREATING A PROGRAM

Once the device type and crossover type have been selected, the main screen will show blocks for each programmable section. The term “pro- gram” as used here is equivalent to “preset” as used on other program- mable devices.

When entering values into text boxes you can use your pointing device such as a mouse or touchpad. You can also use the up/down/left/right cur- sor arrows for certain functions such as Gain sliders and up/down incre- mental value arrows.

9.1GAINS:

Clicking on any box will open a new screen with tabs for all the programmable choices for that preset. If you click on Input A Gain, the screen will open displaying the Gain and related choices for all inputs and outputs. You can go to other parameters by simply click- ing on the appropriate tab.

To set the Gain for a channel, either use your pointing device to drag the slider to the appropriate setting, or enter a value directly into the text box under the slider. If a value beyond the operating range is entered, the system will default to the closest minimum or maximum setting.

The Output channels add check boxes for Mute and 180o. Mute turns the Output mutes on or off. If off, the default is for the channels to fade up when activated. The 180o when selected reverses the polarity of the signal for that channel.

These choices are also available for the selected output channel under the Out 1, Out 2, etc. tabs.

9.2DELAYS:

Clicking the Delays tab will open the Delays window. There is a text box for each output and a display Units selector. The routing of inputs to outputs is also displayed as is the crossover type. The Units selector gives you a choice of whether the delay is expressed in milliseconds, feet or meters. Use the up/down arrows to select the incremental values for each output and click OK when finished.

9.3LIMITERS:

(See page XX for explanation of each function). Set the desired value for each of the four parameters per Output channel. Note that Hold Time and Decay select in 10 ms incre- ments. If using the computer connected to a unit in real time with program material, the meters on the computer screen will mirror those on the unit’s front panel.
