D.E.A.CON Manual 1.0

5 Tips and tricks

1 Keep electronics away from moisture! When using
the system outdoors, make sure it is installed safe
from rain. Soft drinks, beer, and other liquids must
not come into contact with the electronics as this
may cause short-circuiting.
2 Make sure that the ventilation slits on the back of
the equipment are always free of dust and that air
can always circulate freely. It is crucial to prevent the
electronics from overheating so that they do not
suffer damage.
3 D.E.A.CON provides optimum sound, so you
should provide it with optimum input signals! Hum
is generally caused by defective or the wrong type of
cables, or unbalanced signals routed into the mixing
console. Check all signal and mains cables, use DI
boxes to balance unbalanced signals, and do ever-
ything you can to keep on-stage noise to a minimum.
4 Avoid distortion! Not only is it unpleasant to the
ears of your audience, it's also dangerous for your
system. Make sure that all components connected
directly or indirectly to the D.E.A.CON system have
sufficient power at their disposal and never produce
distortion because they are being operated at or
beyond their limit. Provide a strong and clean signal
to the system that doesn't have to be cleaned up by
backing off the Gain control.
Info regarding limiter status LEDs
The limiter status of the mid/high signal paths and
of the subwoofer are indicated respectively via
individual LEDs.
How do I read the indicator?
The green LED indicates that there is a signal at the
corresponding input socket. As long as the LED
lights up green the system is in the lower to middle
working range and there is enough headroom
available for the amps. Yellow means that the system
5 Avoid ground loops! If, for example, the mixing
console is earthed via the mains cable and is not
connected to the same electrical circuit as
D.E.A.CON, this can lead to so-called "ground
loops." To prevent this problem, always connect the
D.E.A.CON system and the mixing console to the
same circuit (same phase!). Should you nonetheless
encounter hum problems with your system, the
ground lift switch may help.
Caution: Never tape over the earth contact on the
mains plug – this endangers lives!

is in the upper working range. There is no need to
worry if the yellow LED flashes intermittently, yet
under no circumstances should it remain lit up
continually. Should this occur, lower the output
volume coming from the mixing console.
If the LED lights up red continually, there is a defect
in the amp and the system will shut down. In this
case, the equipment should be inspected by an
authorized service technician.
