User manual DYNACORD ELAN DATASHEET

[. . . ] Arrangements are made with the dealer where you purchased the equipment from, for the returning of all unusable equipment at no cost, to the factory in Straubing, for environmental protective disposal. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficent magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. Do not install near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or the grounding-type plug. [. . . ] This listing contains all preset names together with the corresponding effect structure, field of application, and frequency characteristics. Take your time to test all presets and select the ones that are best suited for your specific application. Program number "0" selects a Slap Back Echo, which is mainly for servicing and testing only, and therefore is not included in the effects listing on the front panel. also provided is a FOOTSWITCH connector , which allows the connection of a footswitch pedal to remotely control the FX units' EFFECT ON/OFF function. If your footswitch features a LED ­ like the optionally available DYNACORD FS 11 does ­ this indicator will light when the effect is activated (EFFECT ON). Changing FX Start Programs In the factory shipping state, the FX units start with the programs 5/55. If you prefer different programs, you can change and store the new settings in the programming mode. Hold down the two DOWN buttons of FX1 and FX2 simultaneously while switching on the PowerMate. Press the two UP buttons to store the displayed effect numbers as your new start programs. The FX unit acknowledges the save procedure by briefly indicating "Prog" on the display. AUX1/2 SEND The audio signal of the mix that you have established for the corresponding AUX/ FX bus ­ the identical mix that is fed to the internal FX1/2 units ­ is present at this socket, which makes it perfect for connecting external FX units, for example. The AUX3/4 SEND is designed in Ground Sensing technology to prevent the induction of external noise, even with long cables. Use balanced cables for the connection of external components whenever it is possible. AUX3/4 POST As already previously described, this switch allows determining whether Pre- or Post-Fader signals are present at the AUX3/4 channel. The corresponding yellow LED signals when the switch is engaged and all input channel AUX3/4 controls are assigned post fader. FEEDBACK FILTER The feedback filter is a very narrow banded notch filter, which is only active in a range that is extremely susceptible for acoustical feedback. Several circumstances and conditions have an influence on how sensitive or insensitive your system is for acoustical feedback. The following notes are meant to assist you in avoiding feedback and you should take them into consideration even before you activate the feedback filter: 1. Consider the microphones' different polar patterns and characteristics, when placing the monitor speakers. Do not turn up the monitor system's volume higher than actually necessary. Try to avoid extensive equalization on channels that you want to include in your monitor mix. Keep in mind, that a microphone "behaves" different when somebody stands right in front of it. [. . . ] By doing so, you should keep in mind, that during the performance the sound is going to be altered because the audience is present, which has a major effect on the acoustical condition of the location, the degree of first reflections, and the absorption of low frequencies. If possible, you should check the "sound in the house" during the performance and ­ if necessary ­ adjust it to the changed conditions. And for the rest, we like to wish you lots of fun and success with your new PowerMate mixer. The patch field within the master section is referred to as MASTER PATCHBAY The mixer's Line output levels, return and insert connections are to be found here. [. . . ]
