1 – Starting out with your DP-02/DP-02CF

SEND of the unit to the mono input of the processor (1/4” unbalanced jack).

NOTE

The DP-02 owns internal reverb processors. However, you can also use an external effect processor if you prefer.

Digital output Use a standard optical cable to connect this to a suitable digital stereo input of monitoring system, or stereo recorder.

NOTE

You can connect a digital recorder (CD,MD) using the digital connection, while using the LINE OUTPUT jacks for monitoring.

Connect the stereo output of the processor to the RETURN jacks of tthe unit (1/4” unbalanced jack).

External stereo input The unit has a 1/8” stereo mini jack on the rear panel marked STEREO MIX.

This can be used to connect an external stereo sub-mixer, synthesizer, drum machine, CD player, etc.

This stereo signal is routed to the analog LINE OUTPUT jacks. They can not be recorded on the unit, nor can you adjust the signal level using the unit.

This signals sent from this are the same as those sent from the LINE OUTPUT jacks (although the STEREO MIX signals are not output through the digital output).

MIDI output Use this (rear panel) to connect a sequenc- er, drum machine, etc. which can be started, stopped and synchronized with the unit. See “Working with MIDI” on page 37 for details.

Balanced XLR inputs

These inputs enable you to connect condenser microphones (the same type as those used in professional recording studios).

NOTE

These XLR inputs are wired with these pin assign- ments: 1=ground, 2=hot, 3=cold.

The +48V phantom power supply allows you to power condenser microphones. Without such phantom power, many condenser microphones will not work. Some, howev- er, use internal batteries.

WARNING

Never connect or disconnect microphones to or from the XLR connectors with the phantom power turned on to avoid a loud pop noise.

Never turn the phantom power on when unbalanced dynamic microphones are plugged into the XLR connectors to avoid any damage to the unit.

Consult any documentation that came with your microphones for full details of power requirements, etc.

Phantom power The PHANTOM switch can be turned on or off to supply +48V phantom power to the XLR connectors. Phantom power is not supplied to the 1/4” jacks.

Input level controls Use the input level controls the same way you would microphones that use 1/4” jacks.

However, some microphones are more powerful than others, and you may need to turn down the control to prevent overloading.
