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. Subwoofers are in the center and work in mono, cardioid mode.
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 LEVEL DELAY MENU Delay mode Units mode Delay can be set in time (miliseconds) or in distance Subwoofer mode (meters or feets depending on Units setup). When Memory switching between time and distance, the delay time Lock is kept and recalculated to each other.
For cardioid setup, you can calculate and set the LEVEL DELAY MENU delay for each subwoofer manually, or you can use cardioid setup in the SDD3 menu. Subwoofer mode: For manual - idependent sub outputs setup, use the Mode cardioid normal mode.
SDD3 Setup Memory New memory LEVEL DELAY MENU SDD3 is equipped with a dynamic memory list with up to 30 memory positions. New memory can be Units mode created when pressing ENTER at New in the memory Subwoofer mode list.
SDD3 Setup Lock The SDD3 is equipped with an option to lock the LEVEL DELAY MENU setup of the dital control part. The SDD3 can be locked using four arbitrary capital letters. When the Units mode SDD3 unit is locked, it is not possible to change Subwoofer mode digital parameters.
