Dsp Settings ( Fig.3 ) - PROEL SESSION6 User Manual

DSP SETTINGS ( FIG.3 )

CURRENT DSP STATUS (main page)
During normal operation the display shows:
- the current preset;
- the CH1 and CH2 sensitivity (LINE, MIC or MIC-20);
- the signal digital attenuation in dB, which can be set rotating the DSP EDIT knob;
- the input signal level meter.
The level meter shows two warnings in case the input signal reaches very high levels:
LIMITER! - the speaker has reached the maximum power capability, so the input signal is limited by the DSP in order
to avoid distortions or speaker overloads.
IN CLIP! - the input signal is about to reach the maximum dynamics of the DSP AD converter, so it must be reduced in
order to avoid distortions of the converter.
SETUP (page 1/8)
This page is used to choose one of the available four SESSION6 operating modes, as described also in the manual QUICK
START section (pages 3-6). The available modes are the following:
1 - STEREO: SESSION6 is set as a standard stereo system and connected to a device (usually a mixing console) with a
STEREO LINE output. LEFT and RIGHT inputs are set with LINE sensitivity and sent to amplifier's left and right channels.
2 - DUAL: SESSION6 is set as a mono system, with the TOPS installed onto two separate speaker stands. CH1 and CH2
inputs can be set with LINE or MIC sensitivity (so they can accept instruments and/or microphones), summed together
and then sent to both amplifier's left and right channels.
3 - MONO: SESSION6 is set as a mono system, with the TOPS linked together and forming a single 12-speakers column
(see page 12), usually installed on the pole over the subwoofer. CH1 and CH2 inputs can be set with LINE or MIC
sensitivity (so they can accept instruments and/or microphones), summed together and then sent to both amplifier's
left and right channels.
4 - DOUBLE: SESSION6 is set as a mono system, with the TOPS linked together and forming a single 12-speakers column
(see page 12), installed on the pole over the subwoofer. In this mode, the sub-woofer with the 12-speaker column is
used as the LEFT or RIGHT channel of a big stereo system. Only CH1 input is working and it is set with LINE sensitivity.
IMPORTANT
When TOPS A&B are linked together in an 12-speaker column, always select MONO or DOUBLE mode in the DSP: if,
in this configuration, you select STEREO or DUAL modes the system will not work properly.
When TOPS A&B are linked together in an 12-speaker column, always use the 4-wires SPEAKON cable to connect
them to the sub-woofer.
IN LEVEL (page 2/9)
This page is available only if DUAL or MONO modes are selected. Here you can select the CH1 and CH2 input sensitivity,
choosing between LINE, MIC or MIC-20, each step increasing the gain by 20dB. Using LEVEL1 and LEVEL2 controls you
can also adjust the level of each input independently. In these modes the two inputs are summed together and the
signal is sent to both amplifier's left and right channels (so to both TOP A and TOP B).
EQ (pages 2/8)
In this page you can adjust set the system's EQ. The TREBLE range is from -6 dB to +6 dB at 8 KHz, the BASS range is from
-6 dB to +6 dB at 90 Hz. Both controls feature a "SHELVING" curve.
PRESET (page 3/8)
In this page you can choose one of the available presets, with equalization and dynamic processing optimized to offer
the best performance in different system's applications:
1-MUSIC: to be used for recorded music playback. This is the default preset.
2-LIVE: to be used for reproducing at best vocals and instruments in live applications.
3-DJ: specifically designed for recorded dance and electronic music playback.
4-SPEECH: to be used for spoken word applications, in particular when a dynamic microphone is connected directly
to the system.
SUB (page 4/8)
This page is used to set the subwoofer level. When the subwoofer is placed at corners it could be necessary to reduce
its level to match better with the level of the TOP speakers.
