1 – USB Connector

USB 1.0 port for connection to a PC running Windows XP or Vista. With a

connected PC you may run the DSP 260 Editor Graphic User Interface Application.
The DSP 260 can be operated, edited and configured for installation with an easy
to use, intuitive interface. Any available firmware updates downloadable from
[Link] can be loaded via the USB port as well; allowing for easy in-
field updates.

2 – Input Level Meters

The DSP 260 does not itself have input level controls. Proper input level
adjustment is accomplished by setting the output level from the (L / R) bus
outputs from the connected mixer (or other audio output device), as the vast
majority of today’s mixer-outputs are dBu calibrated. When the mixer is operating
at optimal levels, so is the DSP 260. The input meters monitor the input level of
either analog or AES-EBU inputs, depending on the input mode selection set in
the Setup Menu.

Optimal signal-to-noise performance is obtained when the nominal (average),

input level consistently lights the +3dBu (green) and / or +6dBu (Yellow) LED
indicators. As the DSP 260 is a digital audio device – and digital clipping produces
very unpleasant results, the Clip (red) LED should not light. If the DSP 260’s input
does clip, reduce the output level of the connected mixer.

3 – LCD Display

The back-lit, 192 x 32 graphic LCD display allows for operation and editing of the
DSP 260 without the need for an attached PC. The contrast can be set in the Setup
Menu for varying lighting conditions and viewing angles.

The LCD display works in conjunction with Menu buttons, Select buttons and
Value buttons - to operate, navigate and edit the DSP 260’s parameters.

In Run mode, the LCD displays the number and name of the currently selected
factory or user preset. Pressing the Recall or Store buttons switches to their
respective menus. Pressing the Edit or Setup menu buttons switches the display
to the last edited parameter.

In Edit and Setup mode, the top line of the LCD display shows the currently
selected parameter edit screen. Use the Select buttons to activate the top line of
the display, and the value buttons to scroll through available parameter edit
screens.

have been altered, to the original un-edited preset. This compare function will
audibly switch between the altered parameters and the previously stored
settings, allowing you to hear the effect of any DSP changes that have been
made. Use this feature to monitor progress in editing or creating presets.

Subsequently recalling a new preset will prompt you to save changes, which
you may do or not.

7 – Setup Button

Pressing the Setup button while in Run mode displays the Setup menus in the
LCD display and the Setup button lights. In this mode, any Setup menu can
be displayed and altered. Changes made to Setup menu items are saved
automatically.

19 – Output Level Button

Pressing the Level button places the current preset in Edit mode and jumps to
the Output Channel Level screen. Subsequent button presses step through
the six output channels.

20 - Output Level Meters

Each output channel has an eight-segment output level VU meter. Meter

response characteristics can be selected in the Setup menu: Normal Fast,
Peak-Hold Slow Decay. The yellow segment indicates that limiting is being
applied to the output channel. The red segments indicates clipping of the D/A
converters and should be avoided by adjusting the Output Level of the output
channel. It is important to understand how the meters work and what they
are displaying. The Output Meters are displayed as “dB to Limiter Threshold”.
In other words, these meters will display the headroom between the output
level and the limiter threshold. When viewed in conjunction with the Gain
Reduction meters, this provides a complete display of level and headroom
before and after limiting has been engaged to allow system levels to be
optimized.

This also means that the output metering will be displayed differently
depending on the limiter threshold setting.

21 – Output Gain Reduction Meters

Each output channel has a four-segment gain reduction meter that shows the
effect of the output channel Limiter on output level; from 0dBu to -12dBu.

22 – Output Channel Mute Buttons

Each output channel has a lighted Mute button. Pressing the Mute button
turns off the output of that channel. The button lights red as an alert. Press
the Mute button again to restore the output channel’s signal.

Output channels may also be muted from the DSP 260 Graphic User Interface
Application, if the unit is connected to a PC. Muting a channel in any window
of the application will light the channel Mute button on the front panel of the
unit as well.

Downloaded from [Link] manuals search engine

23 – Output Channel Function Indicators

Each output channel has a four-segment function display for informational

purposes only. For any given configuration possible with the DSP 260, an
output channel may be identified as a sub, low, low/mid, mid, mid/hi, hi or
full range output. One or two adjacent LED are displayed to indicate all
possible output bandpasses. (Full range is indicated by no lit LED’s.)

Rear Panel

24- A.C. Inlet

The DSP 260 features a standard IEC A.C. inlet that will accept universal
power cords. The DSP 260 power supply is auto-ranging and can accept
voltages from 100 - 240VAC, 50 – 60Hz. Only A.C. cords approved for use in
your country should be connected to the DSP 260.

25 – A.C. Fuse

The A.C. inlet includes a fuse holder that contains the mains fuse as well as a
spare fuse. If necessary, replace the fuse only with a specified 5x20mm,
T800mA, L250V replacement. Disconnect A.C. power before replacing a fuse.
Before turning the unit back on, assess the condition of the A.C. receptacle
powering the DSP 260. If fuses continue to blow, refer servicing of the DSP
260 only to qualified service personnel.

26 – A.C. Power Switch

The A.C. power switch turns power to the DSP 260 On and Off.

27 – Link/Relay Interface

The operating mode of this dual purpose interface is selected in the Setup
menu. Operating modes are:

RS-232 Interface – Used to link two DSP 260s together in a Master /

Slave setup. Connection is made via a standard 9-pin null-modem serial
interface cable with female connectors.

Contact Closure Port – Eight contact closure pins plus ground for
interfacing to 5 V contact closure systems. Each pin can be assigned a
preset that is recalled when voltage on that pin is detected. The lowest
pin number takes priority in multiple controller systems.

Downloaded from [Link] manuals search engine

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 Hi frequency speakers in one
preset, may be assigned as a sub output in another. See
“Configurations of the DSP 260”.

29 – AES/EBU Digital Input

In addition to the analog audio inputs, an AES/EBU digital stereo input is

provided and selectable in the Setup menu. The input conforms to IEC
standard 60958 Type I. Connections must be made with three-conductor,
110-Ohm, twisted pair cabling and an XLR connector.

30 – Balanced XLR Thru

Each analog audio input is connected to an electronically buffered and

balanced output as a through connector. The signal does not undergo any
digital conversion or processing. These connectors are used to pass input
audio to a second DSP 260 used as a slave or to other audio inputs in the
system.

31 – Balanced XLR Inputs

Each input has an electronically balanced, locking XLR connector. In stereo or

dual modes, connections to both inputs must be made. In mono modes, only
one connection need be made, typically to Input A.

32 – -6dB Pad

Input levels to the DSP 260 can be reduced -6dB prior to the A/D converter to
compensate for higher-level output from mixers and other audio devices. For
ideal signal to noise performance when connecting the DSP 260 to high output
level devices engage the -6dB pad rather than turning down the output of the
connected device. The DSP 260’s Input Level Meters (2) will indicate incoming
signal level and whether attenuation is required.

Installation
For proper operation, all directions regarding installation and connection must be
followed.

Mounting
The DSP 260 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 by the rack ears must be secured.

Power Connection
The DSP 260 must be connected to A.C. power only by means of the provided
IEC A.C. cable or by a power cable provided by the dealer / installer to match
the configuration of your country or region. The DSP 260 must only be
connected to a properly wired, three pin, grounded A.C. outlet. A.C. power
must range from 100 – 240VAC, 50 – 60Hz. The DSP 260 internal power
supply is an auto-ranging design; no adjustments are necessary to configure
it for proper A.C. power.

Audio Cables
Always use correctly shielded audio cables when connecting to the DSP 260.

Balanced Input / Output Connections

To minimize induced noise caused by audio cables and to maximize the length
of cables used, balanced connections are strongly advised for both Inputs and
Outputs. The XLR jacks provided on the DSP 260 are configured as pin 1
ground, pin 2 hot (+), pin 3 cold (-). Cable shielding must be connected to
pin 1. XLR – XLR cables or ¼” tip-ring-sleeve – XLR cables can both be used
for balanced connections to the DSP 260.

Downloaded from [Link] manuals search engine

Un-balanced Input / Output Connections
Un-balanced connections can be made to the DSP 260, 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 DSP 260s can be used in combination as a
Master / Slave for managing larger sound
reinforcement systems. A 9-pin D-sub connector is
provided on the rear of each unit for data line
connections. A standard female-to-female RS232
cable that conforms to the null modem wiring
convention is used to connect the two units. Cable
length should be kept to less than 45 feet (15m) for
the most reliable operation. These cables are readily
available at local computer dealers.

Operation of the DSP 260 9-pin port for RS-

232 connections is selected in the Setup menu.

Relay Contact Closure

The same 9-pin port used for RS-232
connection to another DSP 260 can
alternately be used to recall presets
from relay contact closures. Pins 1 – 8
are the input lines and pin 9 provides
the ground reference. When the DSP
260 detects a connection between pin-9
ground and pins 1 – 8, as completed by
an external relay, a preset assigned by
the user to pins 1-8 is recalled into
memory and the DSP 260 returns to
runtime mode.

17 Owners Manual

Downloaded from [Link] manuals search engine

USB
Connecting the DSP 260 to a PC for operation via the DSP 260 Graphic User
Interface application is accomplished via the front panel USB port. The port
conforms to the USB 1.0. Type B specification. Type B USB cables are readily
available at computer dealers.

Connection to Amplifiers
It is very important to confirm correct connection to all
amplifiers. DSP 260 has the ability to configure each output
for a specific frequency range; sub, low freq. mid freq, high
freq. You must make sure that each output is connected to the
correct amplifier and loudspeaker(s). Incorrect connections
could lead to unexpected results or damage to loudspeaker
components.

Note also that each preset in the DSP 260 includes DSP and
bandpass parameters for the output channels. It is possible
for a new preset to change an output from Hi to Sub, for
instance. Make sure that connections to amplifiers and
loudspeakers are correct before using a new preset.

Input Level Adjustment

The final step in setting up, installing and connecting the DSP 260 is to set
proper input levels to the unit. The DSP 260 does not itself have input level
controls. Proper input level setting is accomplished by setting the output level
from the (L / R) bus outputs from the connected mixer (or other audio output
device). The input meters monitor the input level of either analog or AES/EBU
inputs, depending on the input mode selection set in the Setup Menu.

Optimal signal-to-noise performance is obtained when the nominal

(average), input level consistently lights the +3dBu (green) and /
or +6dBu (Yellow) LED indicators. As the DSP 260 is a digital audio
device – and digital clipping produces very unpleasant results – the
Clip (red) LED should never light. If it does, reduce the output level
of the connected mixer.

Input levels to the DSP 260 can be reduced -6dB with

the rear panel pad switch to compensate for higher-level
output from mixers and other audio devices. For ideal
signal to noise performance when connecting the
DSP 260 to high output level devices, engage the
-6dB pad rather than turning down the output of the
connected device.

Editing & Operation
Factory Presets
The DSP 260 comes with 60 factory presets to configure and manage typical
sound reinforcements systems. Factory presets can be recalled at will. Limited
editing can be performed from the front-panel LCD user interface such as output
level, mute and limiter threshold setting. Installers can identify factory presets
with system configurations that are not appropriate for the given installation and
lock-out and hide them from the operator.

User Presets – Standard Editing

The DSP 260 uniquely allows for limited access
to and visibility of parameters. Via the DSP
260 Graphic User Interface Application, the
installer can determine which parameters may
be accessed.
For more on Standard and editing see
page 21.

User Preset – Full Editing

The DSP 260 can also be configured in full-
edit mode. All matrix routing presets are
available including 2 x 6 Full Edit. All DSP
parameters are accessible and adjustable.
Resulting settings can be saved into 20 User
Preset locations for later recall. Editing can
be performed from the front-panel LCD
display or on a PC with the DSP 260 Editor
Graphic User Interface Application. Full
editing is recommended only for experienced
installers / operators.

Run-time Mode
LCD Display
On power-up, the DSP 260 boots and displays
the run-time screen. The current preset
memory location and name are displayed as
well as the configuration on which the preset is
based.

Caution Before operating the sound reinforcement system, and any time a new preset is
recalled, check the configuration display to make sure that it is appropriate for your system
and that connections to your system are correct for the current configuration. Failure to do so
could cause unexpected results or damage to the system or its components.

The LCD display’s contrast can be adjusted in

the Setup Menu to accommodate different
viewing angles.

Input Level Meters

During operation, the left and right input level meters display the
signal present at the DSP 260’s analog and Digital inputs. The DSP
260 does not itself have input level controls. Proper input level
setting is accomplished by setting the output level from the (L / R)
bus outputs from the connected mixer or other audio source.

Optimal signal-to-noise performance is obtained when the nominal

(average), input level consistently lights the +3dBu (green) and /
or +6dBu (yellow) LED indicators. As the DSP 260 is a digital audio
device – and digital clipping produces very unpleasant results – the
Clip (red) LED should never light. If it does, reduce the output level
of the connected mixer.

Output Level Meters

Each output channel has an
eight-segment output level
VU meter. Meter response
characteristics can be
selected in the Setup menu:
Normal Fast, Peak-Hold or Slow Decay. The yellow segment indicates that limiting is
being applied to the output channel. It is important to understand how the meters
work and what they are displaying. The Output Meters are displayed as “dB to
Limiter Threshold”. In other words, these meters will display the headroom between
the output level and the limiter threshold. When viewed in conjunction with the Gain
Reduction meters, this provides a complete display of level and headroom before
and after limiting has been engaged to allow system levels to be optimized. This also
means that the output metering will be displayed differently depending on the limiter
threshold setting. The red segments indicates clipping of the D/A converters and
should be avoided by adjusting the Output Level setting of the output channel.

Output Gain Reduction Meters
Each output channel has a four-segment gain reduction meter that
shows the effect of the output channel Limiter on output level; from
0dBu to -12dBu. Output limiting can be bypassed by entering Edit mode,
selecting Output Channel Limiter and selecting a limiter threshold of +21
dBu (8.691V) or turning the Bypass parameter to “On”.

Output Channel Mute Buttons

Each output channel has a lighted Mute button. Pressing the Mute button turns off
the output of that channel. The button lights red as an alert. Press the Mute
button again to restore the output channel’s signal.

Mute Mute Mute Mute Mute Mute

Output Channel Function Indicators

Each output channel has a four-segment function display for informational
purposes only. For any given configuration possible with the DSP 260, an
output channel may be identified as a sub, low, low/mid, mid, mid/hi, hi or
full range output. One or two adjacent LED’s are displayed to indicate all
possible output bandpasses. (Full range is indicated by no lit LED’s.)

Preset Recall
The DSP 260 preset memory
provides 60 factory program presets Recall
and can store up to 20 user presets.
(F01-F60, U01–U20) Factory presets have been
designed to represent common system
configurations utilizing Dynacord loudspeaker
systems. User presets allow you to accommodate other system configurations and
/ or loudspeaker systems.

To recall a preset, press the front panel Recall

button. The display switches to the Recall

Edit
Both Factory and User preset can be edited, but edited presets can only be stored
in User preset locations.

Standard Edit Mode

The DSP 260 defaults to Standard Edit mode wherein, input and output channel
parameters are appropriately linked. (Refer to “Configurations” illustrations to see
which channels are parameter-linked for each configuration.

Linked parameters are always identical in value. For instance, setting a graphic eq
curve for Input A, sets the same curve for Input B, if the configuration has linked
stereo inputs. Either input channel can be edited; changes will be reflected in
both. The same is true for parameters of linked output channels. The only
exception to the linking of parameters is the Mute buttons. Output channels can
be individually muted at any time, either from the DSP 260 front panel or the
Graphic User Interface application.

Full Edit Mode

In the Setup menu, the edit mode can be
changed to Full Edit. In Full Edit, no parameter
links are enforced, regardless of the
configuration selected. Any parameter can be
changed without any effect on other parameter values.
PROCESSING MENUS

Regardless of the edit mode selected, there are HPF PEQ GEQ Delay
two means to enter edit mode: pressing the Edit INPUT

button or pressing any DSP block button.

OUTPUT

Input Channel Hi-Pass Filter
Use the < Select > buttons to make the top line of the Edit screen
active and the Value Up and Down buttons to navigate to the HPF

Input Hi-Pass screen.

The first DSP block in the DSP 260’s signal flow is the stereo Hi-Pass Filter. In
any sound reinforcement system, the Hi-Pass filter is crucial for maximizing
the efficiency and performance of the PA system. Both analog and digital
audio sources can include significant sub-sonic (infra-sonic) program material
and artifacts. Audio frequencies below the threshold of human hearing can
still be present at the amplifier inputs, and the amplifiers and loudspeakers
will do all they can to reproduce them; at a great cost of power and efficiency.

Hi-Pass filters can set a frequency, below which, signals will be attenuated or
reduced. The cut-off frequency selected for the hi-pass filter – below which
the frequencies will be attenuated - will vary depending on the program
material and connected loudspeaker system. For example, full range music
can produce frequencies down to the theoretical limit of human hearing (20
Hz), some acoustic music can be limited to frequencies above 60 Hz, and
voice-only reproduction is limited to much higher frequencies. Hi-pass filter
applications and settings will be determined by the needs of the given DSP 260
preset selected for the program material and sound reinforcement system.

The DSP 260 Hi-pass filter offers several response curves, or slopes, to suit
the needs of the given application. Select the curve that best meets the needs
of your particular situation:

Freq - The cut-off frequency

Hz to 200 Hz and is
adjustable in 1 Hz
increments. Select the
frequency setting that is
appropriate for the
attenuation slope selected
and type of program material.
Bypass – No sub-sonic or low-frequency filtering is applied. Use this to
bypass the Hi-Pass filter.
Slp - Slope or degree of attenuation.
6dB/Oct – A very gentle attenuation of frequencies below the
selected cut-off frequency; good for acoustic music that is
generally within known frequencies, but may drop below; without
much energy.
12dB/Oct – Steeper attenuation of frequencies below the
selected cut-off frequency; useful when un-expected low-
frequency material may be encountered. When 12dB/Oct is
selected, Q band is available - from 0.4 Oct to 2.0 Oct.

Input Channel Parametric EQ
Use the < Select > buttons to make the top line of the Edit screen
active and the Value Up and Down buttons to navigate to the Input
PEQ

PEQ screen.
INP

The DSP 260 provides a stereo nine-band multi-mode filter generically

referred to as the Input PEQ (Parametric Equalizer). The Input PEQ is a very
powerful and complex set of multi-mode filters. Care must be given
configuring these filter bands, as they interact and can produce unexpected
results. Using the DSP 260 Editor PC application is strongly recommended to
set all but the most simple eq curves.

Each band of the Input PEQ can be configured for a specific filter mode,
frequency, slope or Q and gain setting. Attention must be paid to the ultimate
output gain through the rest of the DSP 260’s audio path, as it is possible to
boost frequency ranges to the point where the internal or external audio
paths of the system may be clipped. Monitoring the output VU meters of the
DSP 260’s output channels will indicate internal clipping; the input meters of
connected amplifiers should do the same.

To bypass any band of the DSP 260’s Input PEQ multi-mode filter bank, set
the desired band’s gain to 0.0dB. This will have
the effect of bypassing the selected filter
band.

The following section details the type of

filters that can be selected for each of the
Input PEQ’s 9 bands and their parameters:

Low-shelf

Frequency. The amount of boost or cut (Gain), and the extent of width
of the filter’s transition band (Slope), are determined by the low-shelf
filter’s settings. (See Response/Q and Gain.)

Use the < Select > buttons to navigate to the filter setting you wish to
adjust, and the Value Up and Down buttons to alter these settings.
Press the Value Up and Down buttons once to increment values by one
unit, or press and hold to scroll rapidly through available values. (Values
do not wrap around.)

Center Frequency, Q (filter-width) and Gain.
Parametric filters are ideal for identifying, isolating

The Frequency parameter determines the center of a range of

frequencies that will be adjusted by the PEQ. The Q parameter will
determine the range of frequencies adjacent to the center frequency
that will also be effected; the greater the value, the smaller the range of
adjacent frequencies that will be effected. The gain parameter
determines the amount of boost or cut that is applied to the frequencies
that are affected by the filter.

Low -pass
The Low-Pass filter determines the ultimate
high frequency that your sound reinforcement
system is allowed to reproduce; given the
capabilities of amplifiers, speakers and transducers. The low-pass filter
is useful for reducing excessive high frequency energy that can create
stress on high frequency transducers and listener fatigue.

Available parameters are Frequency and Slope. The frequency

parameter determines the frequency above which frequencies will be
attenuated. The slope determines how quickly frequencies above the
cut-off frequency will be attenuated. (See response curve.)

Cross-Over (Output Channels)

The DSP 260’s crossover is an advanced frequency division process that is
accomplished by applying a variety of high-pass and low-pass filters to a
predetermined set of crossover points.

Speaker systems are generally made up of several drivers that are dedicated
to a specific range of frequencies that result in the efficient reproduction of
the audio spectrum and a smooth sound. The DSP 260 crossover routes
frequencies to the appropriate drivers to accurately reproduce sound. The
crossover network can also be used to insure that low-frequency energy is not
accidently routed to the mid-range or tweeter drivers that may result in
potential damage.

Available DSP 260 crossover parameters

are Type and Frequency.

To access the Crossover screen,

Limiter threshold values are determined by the amplifiers Amp Type

and loudspeakers that are used in the system. One S900
important consideration in setting the limiter threshold value S1200
is the input sensitivity and gain of the connected amplifiers. CL800
Because different amplifiers can have different sensitivities, CL1200
it is common to need to calculate the limiter offset to a CL1600
factory preset based on the amplifier sensitivity. The CL2000
DSP 260 offers a unique solution to this problem with the LX1600
Amp parameter. All DSP 260 Factory Presets include limiter LX2200
threshold values. You may use the Amp parameter to select LX3000
the model of Dynacord amplifier that you are using and the L1000 (0 dBu)
limiter threshold offset will be automatically calculated L1000 (+6 dBu)
based on the amplifier gain and sensitivity. When an L1000 (+26 dB)
amplifier is selected from the list, the actual Threshold L1600 (0 dBu)
parameter will be locked to ensure that proper settings are L1600 (+6dBu)
maintained. It is very important to ensure that the proper L1600 (+26 dB)
amplifier is selected from the list, as an improper selection L2400 (0 dBu)
can result in incorrect Limiter settings for your system and L2400 (+6 dBu)
may result in system damage. If a non-Dynacord amplifier is L2400 (+26 dB)
used in the system, selecting “Other” from the amp list will H 2500 (0 dBu)
allow the Threshold setting to be directly edited, however, H 2500 (+32 dB)
the amplifier documentation should be consulted so you can H 2500 (+35 dB)

LCD settings allow the user to adjust the
contrast preferences of the LCD screen to
compensate for different lighting conditions
that may be encountered within different
venues. Use the <SELECT> key to navigate
to the CONTRAST parameter to choose the
best setup for your system. Use the up/
down VALUE arrows to choose between: -10 to + 10 LCD contrast.

Limiter Units
In this window you can select between dBu
and Volt for Limiter units. Use the
<SELECT> key to navigate to the UNITS
parameter.

Metering
Users can set their VU metering
preferences here. Use the
<SELECT> key to navigate to
the MODE parameter. Use the
up/down VALUE arrows to
choose between Normal Fast,
Peak Hold and Slow Decay.

Temperature
This parameter is used to calculate the
speed of sound for converting delay times
into distance. Use SETUP Temperature to
adjust number of degrees and type of
temperature base. Use the <SELECT> key
to navigate to the TEMP and UNITS
parameters. Use the up/down VALUE
arrows to choose between –4.0 F to 140.0
F. The UNITS parameter lets the user
choose between Fahrenheit and Celsius.

Note: Sound travels at different speeds depending on the density of the

surrounding air it is traveling through. Cold air is denser than warm air
thus, travels slower than it would if the air was warmer. Temperature
can have a major influence with greater distances, particularly with
respect to widely separated speaker arrays surrounding the audience for
example. Temperatures might vary wildly between an indoor
environment and an outdoor evening environment for example.

V = 331m/s + (0.6m/s/C) * T

The speed of sound at room temperature is 346 meters per second. At

freezing temperatures sound travels at 331 meters per second. V is the
speed of sound and T is the temperature of the air. This formula finds
the average speed of sound for any given temperature (celcius). The
speed of sound is also affected by other factors such as humidity and air
pressure.

Editing
Editing mode is where the Edit Mode
(Standard Edit or Full Edit) is set. The
DSP 260 defaults to Standard Edit
mode wherein, input and output channel
parameters are appropriately linked.
(See page 50 for more.) In Full Edit
mode, no parameter links are enforced,
regardless of the configuration selected. .
Use the <SELECT> key to navigate to

Configurations of the DSP 260 COMPARE SELECT

The DSP 260 offers 7 pre-defined configurations. A Edit < >

configuration is a basic setting that includes the
routing of inputs and outputs, the function of the VALUE

outputs (Sub, Lo, Mid, Hi, Full Range) including basic

x-over filter settings, and different channel/ Setup Store Recall

parameter linking schemes.

The active configuration is defined by the selected program i. e., each program is
based on a specific configuration which is also displayed next to the program
number and program name.

Each output employs two X-Over filters that can be assigned to a variety of filter
types and slopes. Each output channel provides 5 additional filters which can be
used as parametric EQs, Low- / High-shelving filters, or Lo-Pass and Hi-Pass
filters, and also as All-Pass filters. In addition to a gain control for adjusting the
output level and a polarity switch, each output is monitored by a digital limiter
with adjustable threshold, attack and release.

DSP260 Standard Configurations
This chart describes the channel assignments and linking schemes of the different configurations available in the DSP260.
Channels and parameters indicated with the same colors are linked. When making a change to one channel or parameter this will also affect the linked parameter or channel.
A dashed box around a Lo-pass/Hi-pass filter combination in adjacent channels indicates that these filters are linked. Changing the filter type and frequency of the Lo-pass filter will automatically change the linked Hi-
pass filter on the adjacent channel and vice versa.
These links are only enforced while in Standard Edit Mode. When entering Full Edit Mode, all channel and parameter links are removed.
