7.3.1 Signal path

Figure 3 on page 2 shows a block diagram of the path a signal takes
through the units . Starting at the inputs, after analog / digital con-
version (alternatively, for two inputs, the signal of the digital input
AES / EBU, or, for the DSM-48DT, the signal of the Dante interface can
be selected), the signals pass the following stages:
➾ Input gain (GAIN)
➾ High pass filter (HPF) and low pass filter (LPF)
➾ 10-band sound adjustment (PEQ)
➾ Signal delay (DELAY)
➾ Dynamic range compressor (COMPRESSOR)
➾ Level limiter (LIMITER)
For each of the output channels, a mixed signal can be created from
the inputs signals processed . This mixed signal will pass the following
stages, ending with digital / analog conversion, and will then be routed
to the outputs:
➾ High pass filter (HPF) and low pass filter (LPF)
➾ 10-band sound adjustment (PEQ)
➾ Signal delay (DELAY)
➾ Dynamic range compressor (COMPRESSOR)
➾ Level limiter (LIMITER)
➾ Phase inversion option (PHASE INVERT)
The parameters for the blocks shown can be set in the views MAIN,
X-OVER, IN 1 – 2/4 and OUT 1 – 6/8 . Some of the parameters can be
accessed via various views .
Note: The setting options available depend on the access rights of the current
access level ( ☞ chapter 5 .1) . To be able to make all settings, go to the
access level "Development" when calling up the control program for the
first time . This level allows you to define the access rights and passwords
for the other access levels as required by the users who will operate the
unit ( ☞ chapter 7 .4) .

[14] Curve diagram of the magnitude frequency response
Each of the 10 parametric filters has a point of reference (small
square with filter number) and a frequency curve in a specific
colour . The frequency response resulting from all active filters is
represented by a white curve .
Some of the filter parameters can also be set graphically . To do
so, move the corresponding point of reference with the mouse:
– move horizontally to change the frequency
– move vertically to change the gain
– move horizontally with the right mouse button to change the
quality factor / bandwidth
– double-click a point of reference to switch the corresponding
filter on or off
