-This appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged. Servicing: The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that is described in the Operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel. DIGITAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DMS26...
Limiter Settings In order to offer the maximum of protection, some factory presets of the DMS26 can be entered with the fixed limiting device with 0 dBu, limiting the power to approximately 30 W in 8 Ohms.

INTRODUCTION AND KEY FEATURES Introduction The APG DMS26 digital processors benefit from the most innovative technologies. Profiting from the last technological creation as regards analogical conversion/digital conversion and of numerical signal processing, these processors offer top-of-the-range professional performances. Technical specifiation Combination of converters A/D and D/A made up with components of high range produced by Burr Brown and Wolfson, selected carefully to offer an excellent sound quality.
8 - Mute Buttons and Status LEDs Each output has a mute button and associated mute status LED. Pressing the button toggles the mute on and off.X Note that the mute buttons do not function when the Secure mode is activated. DIGITAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DMS26...
10 - Power Inlet The APG Digital series unit should be connected to a suitable mains electricity supply using the cable supplied. The processor has a switch mode power supply that is capable of operating with a nominal mains voltage of 85V to 240V, 50/60Hz without re-configuration.
Selecting a Factory Preset The APG Digital series processors have a library of Factory Presets designed to suit a range of applications. Factory Presets contain some parameters that are fixed and hidden from view; the remainder of the DSP parameters are available for user manipulation.
If the channel you scroll to does not have the currently viewed processing block, the next one will be shown instead. NB. When the unit powers-up, the settings will be the same as those when the unit was last switched off. DIGITAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DMS26...
Preset. As with Preset Recall, pressing any other button cancels the operation. The user can overwrite non-protected Presets only; if an attempt is made to save a Preset in a location already occupied by a basic or Factory Preset a ‘LOCKED PRESET’ message is displayed DIGITAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DMS26...
- Outputs 1 (routed from L input) and 3 (routed from R input) [1 and 4 for APG26] - Outputs 2 (routed from L input) and 4 (routed from R input) [2 and 5 for APG26] - Outputs 3 (routed from L input) and 6 (routed from R input) – [APG26 only] DIGITAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DMS26...
The velocity sensitive Parameter Knobs therefore provide accurate setting of driver offset delays (typically below 10ms) and rapid setting of longer system alignment delays. High Pass Filter Knob A: Frequency, out (off), 10.0Hz to 25.6kHz in variable steps Knob B: high pass filter type DIGITAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DMS26...
Knob B : Width, display selectable, Q or BW (Bandwidth) BW adjustable from 0.05 to 5 octaves in variable steps Q adjustable from 14.2 to 0.2 in variable steps Knob C : Gain, +/-15dB in 0.2dB steps DIGITAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DMS26...
As for input delay, velocity sensitive Parameter Knobs provide finer adjustment at low levels and rapid selection of higher values. High and Low Pass Filters Knob A: Frequency, <<out, 10.0Hz to 25.6kHz, out>> Knob B: high pass filter type DIGITAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DMS26...
Knob B : Width, display selectable, Q or BW (Bandwidth) BW adjustable from 0.05 to 5 octaves in variable steps Q adjustable from 14.2 to 0.2 in variable steps Knob C : Gain, +/-15dB in 0.2dB steps DIGITAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DMS26...
Routing Knob A: Output source, selectable; Input A, Input B or Sum A+B Configures the routing from input to output. This function is only available in mono format Presets. DIGITAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DMS26...
Care should be taken when swapping between mono and stereo mode as the parameter set for the left hand channels will be copied to the right hand side, overwriting those settings. This is not reversible and could represent quite a significant and potentially damaging change to the processing. DIGITAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DMS26...
