0.1mS increments. 5-Band Parametric EQ Sapphire III features 5 bands of parametric EQ. The default frequency bands are set at 100, 500, 1K, 2K and 4KHz. Each band has these functions: • -10 dB to +10 dB attenuation.
Dante™ Controller to connect the desired channels between DVS and Sapphire III. The host PC can be used as a signal source to supply audio to the Sapphire III. Media players, DAWs and PC-based mixing/DJ software can be used via DVS. Routing the DVS “Transmitter” outputs to the Sapphire III “Receiver”...
Front Panel Sapphire III 4 Channels DSP Power Amplifier -∞ -∞ -∞ -∞ Rack Ears: Secure the unit into a rack with three screws. Two pieces per unit required. Signal & Limit LED: Displays the signal level for each channel. Reduce the input gain if the red LIMIT LED lights up continuously.
Route line-level input signals into these combination jacks using XLR, balanced 1/4” TRS. AMP MODE Switch (BRIDGE/STEREO): Choose the amplifier mode by toggling the sliding MODE switch between the BRIDGE and STEREO position. Be sure to power off the amplifier before changing the AMP Mode switch setting. Power Amplifier Sapphire III...
● Cat-5 cabling. Sapphire III amplifier is 1.75 in. (44.5mm) high, 19 in. (483 mm) wide and 11.85 in. (301 mm) deep. Mount the unit in a standard 19-inch (483 mm) equipment rack. You can also place a single amp on a solid, stable surface or stack multiple amps.
If the signal LEDs are flashing in red color, turn down either the level controls on the amplifier or the sourcing signal’s output level controls, until the signal LEDs are no longer flashing and returned back to blue color . Power Amplifier Sapphire III...
