The SDD3 will mount in a standard 19” rack system. Use four screws and washers to mount the SDD3 to the rack rails. We recommend using a shock-mounted rack for touring use to prolong the life of your SDD3. To prevent accidental adjustment of settings, or unwanted tampering in a fixed installation, KV2 Audio provide an additional security panel as an accessory.
SDD3 · Features · Front panel Front Panel Channel A and B ADC sensitivity For optimal analog to digital converter driving, the full range channels (A and B) are equipped with ADC sensitivity control which increases input level and reduces output level at the same time, so the level pass in the SDD3 does not change when adjustings the ADC sensitivity.

SDD3 · Using the System Delay for additional PA / fill-in delay, with mono cardioid subwoofers in center The main PA works directly, without delay. The left and right channel of the secondary, or side-fill PA works through the full range channels of the SDD3, (channel A and B) for proper time alingment with the main PA.

SDD3 · Using the System Delay for main mono PA, delay for additional PA / mono fill-in delay, with stereo cardioid One SDD3 controls one channel of the system, the second channel controls the second SDD3 unit. The main PA works through SDD3 channel A to delay the PA for optimal time alingment with the stage position. The secondary, or side-fill PA works through the full range channel B of SDD3 for proper time alingment with the main PA.
SDD3 · Setup Digital part description The SDD3 has three main display screens for setup and input levels indication. Main screens are: LEVEL - for input levels indications, DELAY for delay setup and MENU for attributes settings. For switching between these screens use FUNC/EXIT button.
SDD3 · Setup Menu Units mode Delay mode Delay can be set in time (miliseconds) or in distance (meters or feets depending on Units setup). When switching between time and distance, the delay time is kept and recalculated to each other. The delay distance depends on the ambient temperature.
SDD3 · Setup Subwoofer mode For cardioid setup, you can calculate and set the delay for each subwoofer manually, or you can use cardioid setup in the SDD3 menu. For manual - idependent sub outputs setup, use the normal mode. For cardioid setup use the cardioid mode. When cardioid mode is selected, the subwoofer outputs are linked together with λ/4 distance between front and rear subwoofer outputs.
SDD3 · Setup Memory New memory SDD3 is equipped with a dynamic memory list with up to 30 memory positions. New memory can be created when pressing ENTER at New in the memory list. When a new memory is created, it is marked with a position number from 1 to 30 whilst the memory function select is switched to the rename position.
SDD3 · Setup Lock The SDD3 is equipped with an option to lock the setup of the dital control part. The SDD3 can be locked using four arbitrary capital letters. When the SDD3 unit is locked, it is not possible to change digital parameters. LEVEL meters and delay settings are still visible.
