UPPER REAR PANEL
MIC/LINE SWITCH LED, PRESENT ON BOTH INPUT 1 AND INPUT 2 (11,12)
Illuminates green when Mic/Line switch (5 and/or 6) is in line-level mode, and yellow when the Mic/Line switch is in
mic-level mode.
GAIN, PRESENT ON BOTH INPUT 1 AND INPUT 2 (13)
Controls the gain (level) of the input channel with which it is associated. It is used to directly set the system output level for a
given input signal.
POWER/CLIPPING LED PRESENT ON INPUT 2 (14)
These are located to the right and down from the GAIN knob of input channel 2. It will be green when the DPE
It turns red when either of the power amps clip or when the input channel is overloaded.
DynaQ™ SECTION (C)
The DynaQ section provides for a variety of tone shaping options, or the selection of a nominally flat response. The
Music/Speech switch (15) provides a dynamic bass and treble boost that is signal level dependant (Fletcher-Munson type
compensation) when in the "Music" or "Out" switch position. When in the "Speech" or "In" switch position, the boost
is turned off, as is any Bass Enhancement if activated, and low-pass and high-pass filters are engaged to help roll-off the
frequency extremes to assure a clean and clear vocal presentation. The "Speech" position is useful for direct interface of a
dynamic microphone to the inputs of the DPE 2P-4P. When the Music/Speech switch is pushed in, and the Speech mode is
engaged, the LED (16) to the upper right glows green.
THIS SWITCH IS OVERRIDDEN IF THE CONTOUR/BYPASS SWITCH (17) IS IN THE BYPASS MODE. THE
ASSOCIATED LED (18) WILL REFLECT THIS CONDITION.
THE CONTOUR/BYPASS SWICH (17)
The Contour/Bypass switch (17) provides a flat response in the "Bypass" or "in" position. The "Contour" or "Out position
allows the positions of the other two DynaQ™ switches to affect the tone. This switch overrides the other two switches in the
DynaQ section, as the other two switches have no effect when in Bypass mode. When the Contour/Bypass switch is pushed
in and is in Bypass mode, the LED (18) to the upper right glows Red. If either of the other two DynaQ switches (15,19) are
engaged, the associated LED's (16,20) go out to indicated that their function has been bypassed.
THE BASS ENHANCER/BYPASS SWICH (19)
Provides a dynamic bass boost that is signal level dependant (Fletcher-Munson type compensation) when in the "Bass
Enhancer" or "In" switch position. When in the "Bypass" or "out" switch position, the low frequencies are reproduced in a
nominally flat manner.
When the "Bass Enhanced/Bypass" switch is pushed in, and the "Bass Enhancer" mode is engaged, the LED (20) to the upper
right glows Green.
THIS SWITCH IS OVERRIDDEN IF THE CONTOUR/BYPASS SWITCH IS IN THE BYPASS MODE OR THE MUSIC/
SPEECH BUTTON IS IN THE SPEECH MODE THE ASSOCIATED LED WILL REFLECT THIS CONDITION.
If full Fletcher-Munson type dynamic bass and treble boost were desired, then the switch settings would be:
Music/Speech switch (15): Music mode (button Out, LED dark)
Contour/Bypass switch (17): Contour mode (button Out, LED dark)
Bass Enhancer/Bypass switch (19): Bass Enhance mode (button In, LED lit green)
Then a single push of the Contour/Bypass switch (17) can restore the speaker to noinally flat response, while with the same
starting point settings, a single push of the Music/Speech button (15) can provide a Speech contour with no Fletcher-Munson
type contouring and with roll-offs at the frequency extremes.
