Channel Level (Output Channels)
The Channel Level is used to adjust master output levels. To access the Channel Level
screen, press the Level button found on the output processing menu. Subsequent button presses will toggle the display between OUT1 to OUT6. Use the <SELECT> button to navigate between the selectable Level parameters (-100.0dB to
+6.0dB). Adjust the value by using the up/down VALUE arrows.

Limiter threshold values are determined by the amplifiers and loudspeakers that are used in the system. One important consideration in setting the limiter threshold value is the input sensitivity and gain of the connected amplifiers. Because different amplifiers can have different sensitivities, it is common to need to calculate the limiter offset to a factory preset based on the amplifier sensitivity. The DC-One offers a unique solution to this problem with the Amp parameter. All EV Factory Presets include limiter threshold values. You may use the Amp parameter to select the model of EV amplifier that you are using and the limiter threshold offset will be automatically calculated based on the amplifier gain and sensitivity. When an amplifier is selected from the list, the actual Threshold parameter will be locked to ensure that proper settings are maintained. It is very important to ensure that the proper amplifier is selected from the list, as an improper selection can result in incorrect Limiter settings for your system and may result in system damage. If a non- EV amplifier is used in the system, selecting “Other” from the amp list will allow the Threshold setting to be directly edited, however, the amplifier documentation should be consulted so you can calculate you limiter offset (if any) as needed. The Amp parameter is only available when using a Factory Preset.
