Page 8: Introduction
INTRODUCTION Designed to meet and exceed the needs of the recording, broadcast, installation and live sound industries, the Klark Teknik DN3600 Programmable Graphic Equaliser is an extremely high quality, digitally controlled, two-channel, third-octave equaliser that combines state-of-the-art audio performance with unprecedented ease of use. The two channels may either be used independently or linked for stereo use. -
Page 9: Installation
In order to make the DN3600 as straightforward to use as a conventional graphic equaliser, the backlit LCD window provides a ‘virtual’ representation of a conventional graphic equaliser as well as the settings of the shelving high and low-pass filters and the notch filters. The use of multi-function buttons for regularly accessed functions has been avoided to enable the unit to be adjusted quickly and efficiently while the Curve display function provides the user with a frequency response display based on the combined operation of the graphic, shelving filters,... -

Instrument Familiarisation Front panel functions DISPLAY SCREEN: This is a large, backlit "Supertwist"-type LCD which shows white/green legend on a blue background. Menu options are listed down the left hand end. Various status information is shown along the top edge. In normal operating mode, the largest part of the screen displays the "Virtual"... - Page 11 GAIN: This button selects the Gain fader for adjustment. The Gain fader is highlighted and can be adjusted in 0.5dB steps from +6 to -18dB. One step below the -18dB point mutes the selected channel. To deselect the Gain fader press GAIN a second time. The Gain control on the DN3600 scales the actual frequency bands.

Page 12: Getting Started
GETTING STARTED WITH THE DN3600 The operation of the virtual faders is much like that of a conventional graphic equaliser in that a ‘fader’ is selected and then moved. Faders may be selected directly by pressing any one of the Frequency buttons or the bands may be ‘scanned’... -
Page 13: Q Switching
Q SWITCHING Over the last 15 years, Klark Teknik's graphic equalisers have become "industry standards" with audio professionals around the world - some preferring the smooth, averaging quality of the DN360 - others, the sharper, tighter Q character of the DN27. To satisfy these individual preferences, the DN3600 incorporates two "Q"... -
Page 14: Memory Operation
MEMORY OPERATION Equalisation programs may be created from scratch or existing programs may be called up and modified. To start from scratch, switch OUT the More EQ and reset the unit by pressing and holding the Bypass key for more than 5 seconds. RECALLING A MEMORY Select Utilities, Memory and Recall in turn on the soft keys. -
Page 15: Auto Eq
AUTO EQUALISATION - THE DN3600/DN60 CONNECTION The DN3600 can be interfaced with the Klark Teknik model DN60 Real Time Spectrum Analyser. The combination can then be used to perform an Automatic Equalisation function, to compensate for the sound system frequency response. To do this, proceed as follows: 1. - Page 16 Equalising to a Preferred Curve Whilst the Auto EQ function tries to equalise to flat (as measured by the DN60) it is possible to perform an approximate Auto EQ to a preferred house curve by making use of the Bypass setting of the DN3600.
- Page 17 AUTO EQUALISATION - THE DN3600/DN6000 CONNECTION The DN3600 can be interfaced to the Klark Teknik model DN6000 Audio Analyser or DN60 Real Time Spectrum Analyser. The combination can then be used to perform an Automatic Equalisation function to compensate for the room or system frequency response. To do this with the DN6000 proceed as follows: Connect the DN6000 to the DN3600.

Page 19: Master/Slave Operation
MASTER/SLAVE OPERATION The Klark Teknik Pro MIDI Master/Slave system allows up to 65 DN3600 and DN3601 units to be operated, either individually or together, from the front panel of one DN3600. The system is simple to connect, simple to operate and protects itself from the dangers of unreliable power supply and damaged connections. - Page 20 A unit when selected will respond by changing its operating mode and displaying the following: DN3600 V3.0 software and DN3600C V3.0C software - Dynamic screen operation i.e.the fader knobs etc. will move in response to remote control messages. The NUMBER window displays the slave number during the selection operation.
