HARDWARE DESCRIPTION- Front Panel
Emergency Bypass: This is an extremely powerful feature. If there
should ever be a problem with the DCM or system cabling, you have
the ability to bypass all of the DCM active circuitry and get sound to
the center channel. In the NORMAL position, the DCM performs
normal monitor and crossover functions. In the EMERGENCY
position, the PROC center channel signal is routed to a passive
crossover (no power is required), and then to the center channel
amplifier. There are level adjustments on the rear panel for balanc-
ing the high frequency and low frequency output level.
Test Jacks: The Test jacks give you access to any of the signals being
sent to the front panel speaker (before the gain potentiometer). These
signal levels are at the exact same level as the cinema processor
output signals (unity gain) and can be used as a test point for system
calibration.
