QUICK START

X-OVER SETTINGS

In the Edit menu select the desired output channel by pressing the corresponding OUTPUT control. Then use the rotary encoder to select HIPASS XOVER in the display. Here you can set the low-cut frequency for the selected channel. Using the SELECT keys, you are able to select the parameters “Type” or “f” and edit their values through the use of the rotary encoder. After you are done, use the left SELECT key to re-position the cursor to the function block in the top line.

Using the rotary encoder you can now select LOPASS XOVER in the display. Here you are able to adjust the high-cut frequency for the selected channel. Proceed as described above for the low-cut setting.

Pressing another OUTPUT control selects the control’s corresponding channel and you are able to edit the parameter settings of this output channel. Again, proceed following the descriptions above.

Parameters are not linked in the Full Edit mode. Thus, you have to make sure that related low and high-cuts are set to the same values and filter characteristics.

LOUDSPEAKER EQUALIZATION

The DSP 244 embodies 4 EQs per channel for each output channel allowing to optimally match the frequency response for the connected loudspeaker components; similar to the factory preset programs. In case you want to program the EQs matching your own set of loudspeaker systems, you should know the exact frequency response of each component to be able to utilize the channel EQs efficiently.

In the EDIT menu, select the desired output channel by pressing the corresponding OUTPUT control. Then, by using the rotary encoder select CHANNEL EQ1 in the display. Here you are able to edit the first filter of this channel. Through use of the right SELECT key you are able to select the parameter “Type” and change its setting with the rotary encoder. Available for “Type” are:

PEQ (parametric Peak-Dip-Filter)

LOSLV (Low Shelving Equalizer)

HISLV (High Shelving Equalizer)

LOPASS (Lo-Pass)

HIPASS (Hi-Pass)

ALLPASS (All-Pass for phase correlation correction)

All other parameters depend on the selected filter type. A complete overview is provided in chapter 8, PARAMETERS. The SELECT keys allow the selection of any parameter and the corresponding values are edited using the rotary encoder.

After you are done, use the left SELECT key to re-position the cursor to the function block in the top line.

Using the rotary encoder you can now select next EQ sections to adjust its frequency response according to your liking.

Pressing another OUTPUT control selects the control’s corresponding output channel.

DELAY ALIGNMENT

Using the channel delays, it is possible to compensate construction-related delays of loudspeaker systems or delays that result from different positions of loudspeaker cabinets. Nevertheless, herefore, it is necessary to know the distance between cabinets as precise as possible.

Select the desired output channel in the Edit menu by pressing the corresponding OUTPUT control. Using the rotary encoder you can now select CHANNEL DELAY in the display. The parameters “Delay” or “Unit” are now accessible through the use of the SELECT keys and the rotary encoder can be used to alter their values. Afterwards, use the left SELECT key to re-position the cursor to the function block in the top line.

Pressing another OUTPUT control selects the control’s corresponding output channel.
