2.3The interface - DLC-2
The Revox DLC-2 acts as interface between digital (e.g. CD player, MD recorder or CD recorder) and analogue sound sources (e.g. FM tuner or tape deck) on the one hand and the Revox digital active loudspeaker systems on the other hand.
For operation in conjunction with analogue devices, the DLC-2 houses a state-of-the-art analogue-to-digital converter, that converts analogue input signals to digital format. Moreover, the DLC-2 controls the digital loudspeakers; its integrated IR receiver passes commands to the speakers, such as switch on/off, change in volume, bass, treble or balance. Signals coming from digital sources are transmitted to the loudspeakers without alterations in order to avoid any loss in quality.
The DLC-2 does not feature any operating elements. You operate the DLC-2 using the IR remote control. The switches on its back panel are for adjusting to the level of the incoming analogue signals, a process which you need to perform only once.
The LEDs on the front panel show the selected input and an overload of the analogue input, and a numeric display indicates the selected volume level.
Power supply is ensured by the enclosed power adapter (12V DC, 250 mA).
The DLC-2 and the Revox Exception hi-fi system are two of a kind. If you want the two to act as one system, connect the plug on the end of the DLC-2 lead (back panel) to any Revox link socket of the Exception hi-fi system. Now, you can operate the DLC-2 and the digital loudspeaker system from the E 450 Exception amplifier; you can change all parameters, such as volume, bass, treble and balance, from the keys on the amplifier and read the corresponding settings on its display. As the DLC-2 is of modest height, it can be placed directly under the E 450, where it is almost invisible.
