    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.

    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.

    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...

    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...
