Auto/Q menu.

Accessed by pressing the Utilities key followed by the Auto/Q key.

Soft key options: Auto Gain

Curve/Fader

The Curve/Fader key toggles the screen between Curve and Fader displays. While the Fader display shows the positions of the 30 Graphic faders for the addressed channel, Curve display calculates the actual frequency response of the unit, taking into account fader posi- tions, filter Q and interaction, low pass and high pass filters, notches and gain.

Auto Gain

Soft key 1 is accompanied by the text Auto Gain. When pressed, this key toggles the Auto Gain function on or off and returns the unit to the start up screen.

When Auto Gain is on, the Gain fader will move automatically to compensate for any further adjustments made to the graphic faders in order to maintain unity gain for an average audio signal.

Auto EQ

Soft key 2 is accompanied by the text Auto EQ. This function is used when the DN3600 is connected to a Klark Teknik model DN60/DN6000 Real Time Spectrum Analyser via their respective “DN60 Interface” and “Plotter/Data” ports.

When the key is pressed, the DN3600 reads the frequency spectrum as displayed at that moment by the DN60/DN6000 analyser. Fader adjustments are then applied to the selected channel (A, B or - in LINK mode - both) to compensate for the analysed room or system response.

The unit remains in Auto/Q menu, allowing repeated triggering of the Auto EQ function.

Q Type

Soft key 3 is accompanied by the text Q Type. When the key is pressed, the addressed channel toggles between the Q modes: 360 and 27. The Q mode is shown as text at the top of the screen. The Q mode determines the shape, and hence the sound and interaction, of the graphic filters. Q:360 emulates the wide and hence smoothly combining and easy to use filters of the industry standard Klark Teknik DN360 Graphic Equaliser. Q:27 emulates the narrower and hence less interactive LCR filters of the older Klark Teknik model DN27 Graphic Equaliser.

Exit

Soft key 4 is accompanied by the text Exit. When this key is pressed, the unit returns to the start up menu.

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.
