Output Gain Reduction Meters

Output limiting can be bypassed by entering Edit mode, selecting Output Channel Limiter and selecting a limiter threshold of +21 dBu (8.205V) or turning the Bypass parameter to “On”.

Output Channel Mute Buttons

Each output channel has a lighted Mute button. Pressing the Mute button turns off the output of that channel. The button lights red as an alert. Press the Mute button again to restore the output channel’s signal.

Output Channel Function Indicators

Each output channel has a four-segment function display for informational purposes only. For any given configuration possible with the DC-One, an output channel may be identified as a sub, low, low/mid, mid, mid/hi, hi or full range output. One or two adjacent LED’s are displayed to indicate all possible output bandpasses. (Full range is indicated by no lit LED’s.)

Preset Recall

The DC-One preset memory

provides 60 factory program presets Recall and can store up to 20 user presets.

(F01-F60, U01 – U20) Factory presets have been designed to represent common system configurations utilizing Electro-Voice

loudspeaker systems. User presets allow you to accommodate other system configurations and / or loudspeaker systems.

To recall a preset, press the front panel Recall button. The display switches to the Recall Preset screen and displays the next in a list of available presets in memory. Using the Value Up and Down buttons, select the preset to be recalled. Valid presets will display the preset name. Empty presets will display a “?”.

Select a valid preset and press Recall again. The display will prompt, “Recall Preset? Press Recall”. Press Recall a third time to confirm and load the new preset.

If the preset you are recalling is based on a configuration different from that of the current preset, the display will prompt, “Changing config can damage speakers”, to remind you that the new preset may not be appropriate for your system as it is currently connected. Press Recall again to confirm and load the new preset.
