28 – Balanced XLR Outputs Each output channel has an electronically balanced XLR connector for connection to system amplifiers. Each output channel can output different frequency ranges depending on its assignment and cross-over settings. Care must be taken to assure that each output is connected to an appropriate amplifier and loudspeaker to avoid damage or unexpected results. Note that a new preset may change the assignment of channel and its frequency range. For instance an output assigned to

Installation For proper operation, all directions regarding installation and connection must be followed. Mounting The DC-One should be mounted in a rack-mount enclosure or rack rails. The unit is 1RU tall by 14” (353mm) deep. Proper clearance for air circulation around the unit must be provided. Do not block any vent holes on the unit. For secure mounting and electrical insulation, correct rack screws must be used – #10-32 screw with plastic / nylon cup washer. All four mounting points provided

Un-balanced Input / Output Connections Un-balanced connections can be made to the DC-One, although induced noise from cabling may be increased. Cables should also be less than 15” (5m) in length. Unbalanced connections can be 6dB lower in level as well. To match the audio level obtained with a balanced connection, it is necessary to tie pin 3 to ground at the XLR connector. This may increase noise. RS-232 Two DC-Ones can be used in combination as a Master / Slave for managing larger sound reinfo
