Page 2: Introduction
Its applications range from live concerts to recorded music in open spaces or closed rooms. Musicson's engineers have used state-of-the-art last generation software tools in order to simulate acoustic elements as well as to produce the corresponding prototypes. -
Page 3: Dp-3 System
1.1. - DP-3 SYSTEM The first system developed with these four enclosures is the DP-3.This is an active three-way system, featuring three different enclosures: The DP-H for the reproduction of high-mid frequencies and two equally shaped enclosures to reproduce low and very-low frequencies: DP-SB1 and DP-SB2. This whole system is controlled through the ISP-1014 processor. - Page 4 ISP-1014), offering, thus, a high level of clarity and intelligibility within the vocal frequency range. high high-mid frequencies, have used 4” (100mm) diaphragm, 2”-throat compression driver. This driver from ARP features very special characteristics. 1.-An optimised magnetic structure has been used for maximum efficiency. In order to achieve this, a Neodymium magnet has been used, offering: a.

MUSICSON engineers have also optimised this speaker, in order to improve their response within this type of enclosure. -

Page 8: Dp-G Enclosure
1.2.1.-DP-G ENCLOSURE The DP-G enclosure is conceived to reproduce the bass frequency range. It will only be used with the 4-way active DP-4 configuration. This enclosure is designed as a double sixth order band-pass system. This configuration allows higher sound pressure levels within a narrower band than other systems, such as reflex or hermetic systems. -

The use of Musicson’s signal processors is absolutely necessary, since they contain the exact filters for an optimal... -
Page 11: Dp-3 System
Both speakers are wired in parallel through the rear panel of the enclosure. To power one 12” speaker, we will use one channel of the Musicson P-804 professional amplifier, featuring 800 W rms per channel. The 2”-driver of the DP-H will be powered through another other channel of this amplifier. -
Page 12: Dp-4 System
Both will be wired in parallel internally. To power the four 15” speakers of the DP-G enclosure, two channels of one of the Musicson P-804 professional power amplifiers, featuring 800 W rms per channel. To power two 12” speakers and two 2” drivers on the DP-H enclosure, two further channels of the Musicson P-804 professional power amplifiers will be used. - Page 13 All Musicson DP enclosures have different rear panels with four- and eight pin Speakon® sockets, serving as signal inputs from the amplifiers or to link them to further enclosures. On the flight cases we will find eight-pin Speakon® connectors to the enclosures, except on the sub bass flight case of the DP-4, where we sill find four-pin Speakons.

Page 14: Dp-System Spare Parts
4.-DP SYSTEM SPARE PARTS Before we start dismantling any acoustic part of a system, we should check first, where the failure may have originated and located it exactly. - Page 15 We first have to make sure that the problem is not due to any element “previous” electronics racked flight cases (such equalisers, mixing consoles, effects, etc.). If the problem persists, we should check for the correct functioning of the electronics of the DP- system: make sure that the processors are “ON”...

The basic system that can be configured from the DP-SB1, DP-SB2 and DP-H enclosures is as follows: The material delivered by Musicson contains: - 1 Flight case with 1 Musicson P-804 power amplifier 1 Musicson HE-1202 power amplifier 2 ISP-1014 dynamics processors... - Page 17 Auxiliary elements, such as effects, equalisers, mixing consoles, etc. are not delivered with this live equipment. To expand the system to double its power, Musicson will deliver a flight case containing solely a Musicson HE-1202 power amplifier, which will be connected to the signal outputs of the main rack, including the ISP-1014 signal processors.

Its configuration and characteristics turn this processor into a vital element in obtaining maximum performance of the sub bass enclosures of the DP-4 system, that is, the SUB-218BS. It comes installed and wired in a flight case, together with the Musicson HE-1202 power amplifier. Its main features are: Two-way active filter with adjustable crossover frequency. - Page 21 3. - HI OUT MODE: This selector switch allows configuring the mid-high way output filter of the ISP-2022. On the “HI” position, it will work as a high-pass filter, at the crossover frequency selected before (LOW-HIGH FREQUENCY switch). For the DP-4, having selected 90 indicates that the crossover frequency between the sub bass and bass is 90 Hz.

8.- SETUP AND RIGGING ELEMENTS RECOMMENDATIONS. Musicson has designed and developed the acoustic systems DP-3 and DP-4, that response could linear possible under anechoic conditions, that is, without external deflexions. The user of these systems should know about the importance of the influence of the surroundings where they are installed on the final sound characteristics. - Page 31 If you wish to have a more directional sound with less dispersion, mount the system as indicated below.

Page 32: Dp-4 System
SUB-218BS has to be set up closely and, possible centre stage, order avoid phase cancellations between them. In order to fly the DP-H and DP-G enclosures, Musicson furnishes the cargo restraint tracks studs with cables. There lengths available: 175mm and 280mm. - Page 33 The size of the fixing systems enables the rear part of the cabinets to stay practically together: Musicson has developed all the hardware necessary to fly the DP-H and DP- G enclosures. We start with the cluster-forming element, reference .., as shown...
- Page 34 The angle between the enclosures can be varied through values from 0 to 15 degrees, by changing the position of the pins and the studs, as shown on the figure below: 0 DEGREES 15 DEGREES The cables and flying accessories at the front of the enclosures DP-H and DP-G allow the user to vary the angle in steps of 3 degrees.
- Page 35 The angle between the upper enclosures may also be changed by changing the position of the flying cables, as sown on the figures below:...

Remember that the Dp-4 system has been designed to be flown, offering its highest sound quality, dispersion and absence of cancellations.
