Section 1: Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the dbx DDP Digital Dynamics Processor. For over 25 years dbx has been
the industry leader in dynamics processing. With the introduction of the DDP, we take that same leadership into
the digital domain. We are sure you will find the DDP able to meet all your dynamics control needs.
This manual will be your key to understanding the full functionality of the powerful DDP. Read it carefully. After
you have become familiar with the unit, we encourage you to experiment and find creative ways that the DDP
can make you a better musician and engineer.

Unpack

Your DDP was carefully manufactured, tested, burned in, and packaged at the dbx factory. Before you proceed
further, make sure the following items are included in your packaging:
• dbx DDP Digital Dynamics Processor
• Operator's manual
• Power cord
• Warranty registration card
You should save all packaging materials if possible. They were designed to protect the unit during shipping, and
in the unlikely event that your DDP should require service, use only the factory packaging to return it to the fac-
tory.

Quickstart

If you are one who prefers to plug and play and read later, follow these simple instructions for setting up the
DDP, and get on your way:
1. Make sure that AC power is not connected to the DDP. Turn off the power to your console, recorder,
and other devices in your setup.
2. Make audio connections in one of several ways:
3. With the power switch in the OFF position, connect the power cable (included) to the DDP.
4. Press the LightPipe METER SELECT switch IN to select the INPUT meters for the analog signal. Turn the
analog audio input level pots all the way to the OFF (-∞) position (fully counter-clockwise). Apply
power to the other devices in the setup first, then the DDP. The DDP "wakes up" in the default pro-
gram mode. You may use the large wheel to the right of the screen to scroll through the various pro-
yyyyy
grams.
5. When you have a program selected that suits your application, you can start making sound: make sure
there is signal arriving at the DDP's input, and begin to turn up the INPUT level pots until the
LightPipe input meters are peaking at, but not above "+12". And away you go!

A. Wire the analog inputs and outputs into a patch bay. This method will prove to be the most
useful in the long run.
B. Connect the DDP's inputs and outputs directly to the insert point of a console's input strip,
group output, auxiliary send and return, or main outputs.
C. Connect the DDP's input to another device's outputs, and connect the DDP's outputs to the
line inputs of a console.
