GAIN: This button selects the Gain fader for adjustment. The Gain fader is highlighted and can be adjusted in 0.5dB steps from +6 to -18dB. One step below the -18dB point mutes the selected channel. To deselect the Gain fader press GAIN a second time.

The Gain control on the DN3600 scales the actual frequency bands. This achieves optimization of signal to noise ratio from one simple control and avoids the disadvantages of conventional pre EQ or post EQ gain controls.

NUMERIC WINDOW: Displays the number of the currently operating Memory and, in the appropriate operating modes, the Slave address number or the MIDI channel number. A flashing number indicates access by a remote control device, such as another DN3600.

METERS: Separate 10-segment bargraph level meters monitor the signal level in channels A and B over the range -12dB to +15dB. The Clip warning LED monitors seven different points within the circuitry of the DN3600 and flashes if the level at any point comes within 2dB of clipping.

POWER SWITCH: Switches the unit on and off. When the unit is off, there is a hard relay bypass which connects the input signal directly to the output.

Rear Panel Functions

Balanced Input XLR Sockets

Balanced Output XLR Sockets

Pro MIDI XLR Connectors: These follow the same wiring convention as conventional MIDI DIN sockets. These are used for performing system exclusive data transfer and for linking multiple units in a master/slave configuration. See service section for wiring convention.

16-Pin IDC Interface: Interfaces directly with the DN60/DN6000 Real Time Spectrum Analyser for automatic equalisation and may be used to interface with future products.

IEC Mains Socket with integral fuse.

DN3600C specifications

The Telex DN3600C is a sophisticated digital audio processor designed for both professional sound reinforcement and installations requiring high-quality audio processing. As a product of Telex, a brand with a long-standing reputation in the audio industry, the DN3600C is engineered to meet the demanding needs of sound engineers and audio professionals.

One of the standout features of the DN3600C is its dual-channel equalization system. It offers a complete 31-band graphic equalizer across each channel, giving users precise control over audio frequencies. This allows for tailoring the sound to specific environments or preferences, enhancing clarity and overall sound quality. The equalizer is complemented by high-quality analog-to-digital converters, ensuring that the signal remains pristine throughout the processing chain.

The DN3600C also boasts an intuitive user interface, with a bright LCD display and easy-to-navigate controls that make it accessible even for those new to audio processing. Users can quickly adjust settings without needing extensive training, streamlining the workflow during live performances or installations.

Moreover, the DN3600C utilizes advanced digital signal processing (DSP) technologies that enable highly effective feedback suppression and dynamic range control. This not only protects the system from damaging feedback loops but also enhances the overall listening experience. Additionally, its built-in limiter helps prevent distortion by ensuring signals remain within an optimal range.

Connectivity is another strong suit of the DN3600C. It features multiple input and output options, including balanced XLR connectors, enabling seamless integration with various audio systems and equipment. This flexibility makes it suitable for a range of applications, from live concerts to theater productions and corporate events.

The DN3600C is also designed with ruggedness and reliability in mind, making it capable of withstanding the rigors of demanding environments. Whether in a touring situation or a fixed installation, users can depend on the DN3600C to deliver consistent performance.

In summary, the Telex DN3600C is a powerful and versatile audio processor, equipped with a dual-channel equalizer, advanced DSP technologies, and a user-friendly interface. Its robust construction and multiple connectivity options further enhance its appeal, making it a valuable tool for any audio professional looking to elevate their sound management capabilities.
