    DL32R Owner’s Manual Chapter 1 : Welcome Hello everyone! This is the DL32R Owner’s Manual...we hope you like it! Instead of one massive document containing detailed information about the hardware and software, we have divided them into separate manuals. Simply decide if you need assistance with the hardware or software and dive on in.

    Chapter 2 : DL32R Front Panel Introduction Each DL32R mixer is outfitted with 24 XLR input jacks, 8 combo input jacks, 14 XLR output jacks, an XLR AES output jack, 1/4" L/R monitor output jacks, one 1/4" phones output jack (and corresponding phones knob) and power and network LEDs.

  • Page 6: Xlr Outputs

    COLD AES Output This male XLR-style connector provides professional, balanced stereo digital output from the DL32R. Connect this output to the AES digital inputs of an amplifier, system processor, audio distribution system or recording devices. Like the analog outputs, you may select the signals to send to the AES output via the Master Fader control software.

    Power LED For the most part, this dual-colored LED will illuminate solid green when the DL32R is powered on and funtioning normally. However, this LED could also illuminate red, and it has several other identifiers, as well. Please refer to the table in Appendix C for all possibilities.

  • Page 8: Force Update Button

    The force update button is conveniently located right next to the power and network LEDs and just below the awesome DL32R logo. In a perfect world, this button would just sit there without a care in the world, umbrella drink in hand, beach, surf and sun on a daily basis. In all likelihood, this button will live his / her dream out, while the rest of us can only dream of such a life.

    Again, don’t do it! Power Switch Press the top of this rocker switch in to turn the DL32R on and press the bottom of this switch to turn the mixer off. As a general guide, the DL32R should be turned on first, before any external power amplifiers or powered speakers.

    Each card contains pull tabs for easy installation and removal of cards, as well as two Phillips head screws to hand-tighten the card to the mixer. The DL32R comes with a standard network card already installed. As seen in the illustration below, this card contains a single network port for control.

    Reference Guide. USB A – Drive The DL32R’s USB type A connector allows 24 channel (48 kHz, 24-bit) recording and playback to (and from) a USB hard drive. Any combination of channels or outputs may be selected as the record source and playback destination.

    DL32R Owner’s Manual Top of DL32R Believe it or not, the flat surface on top of the mixer serves a purpose. Minimize lengthy spaghetti madness by placing the Wi-Fi router and/or USB hard drive up here. We even included straps to hold it down! You can also use zip ties for permanent installs or Hook and Loop tape on both sides to make the products even more secure, yet easily removable.

  • Page 14 COMPUTER CONTROL Don’t be surprised if you see your cat up there when nothing else is on top of the DL32R. We witnessed this more than once during our sessions. While we sure do love these evil furry creatures, they’re not the greatest engineers. Make sure it doesn’t get a hold of an iPad...

    SRM750 powered loudspeakers – Main PA Here’s a pretty common setup utilizing the DL32R. Mics are connected to input channels 1-16 which may be used to mic up a drum set, guitar and bass cabinets, acoustic guitar, lead and background vocals, a horn section, etc.
  • Page 16 Up to 10 iPads may be connected to the DL32R. As such, each band member may control their own mix from their own “station”. As seen in the illustration above, the vocalist, drummist, bassist, each guitarist, each keyboardist, DJist and samplerist each have an iPad.

  • Page 17: Studio Recording

    Start by simply setting up and connecting all the necessary mics, instruments and other inputs. Next, set the levels and create the mix you desire with the iPad. A computer is connected to the USB B connector on the rear panel of the DL32R for recording up to 32x32 channels.

    DL32R Owner’s Manual Appendix E : Glossary Of Terms The glossary contains brief definitions of many of the audio and electronic terms and acronyms used in discussions of sound mixing and recording. If you would like more information, we recommend the following: The Audio Dictionary —...
  • Page 27 They are typically powered by internal batteries or phantom power supplied by the mixer. Console — Another term for mixer. DL32R mixer = DL32R console. D/A Converter — Digital-to-analog converter. A device that transforms incoming digital signals into analog form.
  • Page 28 DL32R Owner’s Manual Glossary Of Terms Continued... EIN — Equivalent Input Noise. A specification that helps measure the “quietness” of a gain stage by deriving the equivalent input noise voltage necessary to obtain a given preamp’s output noise. Numerically, it’s the output noise at a given gain setting minus the gain. EIN is usually measured at a maximum gain and typically ranges from -125 to -130 dBu.
  • Page 29 DL32R Owner’s Manual Glossary Of Terms Continued... Ground — Also called earth. Ground is defined as the point of zero voltage in a circuit or system, the reference point from which all other voltages are measured. In electrical power systems, ground connections are used for safety purposes, to keep equipment chassis and controls at zero voltage and to provide a safe path for errant currents.
  • Page 30 DL32R Owner’s Manual Glossary Of Terms Continued... Mic Amp — See Mic Preamp. Mic Level — The typical level of a signal from a microphone. A mic level signal (usually – but not always – coming from a microphone) is generally lower than –30 dBu. With a very quiet source [a pin dropping?] the signal may be –70 dBu or lower.
  • Page 31 DL32R Owner’s Manual Glossary Of Terms Continued... Nyquist Sampling Theorem — This theorem states that, when an analog signal is converted to a digital signal, it must be sampled at a frequency that is at least twice the highest audio frequency present in the analog signal.
  • Page 32 DL32R Owner’s Manual Glossary Of Terms Continued... Reverberation, Reverb — The sound remaining in a room after the source of sound is stopped. It’s what you hear in a large tiled room immediately after you’ve clapped your hands. Reverberation and echo are terms that are often used interchangeably, but in audio parlance, a distinction...
  • Page 33 DL32R Owner’s Manual Glossary Of Terms Continued... Stereo — Believe it or not, stereo comes from a Greek word that means solid. We use stereo or stereophony to describe the illusion of a continuous, spacious sound field that is seemingly spread around the listener by two or more related audio signals.
