XW12a DN9848(e) P3000 0dBu V2_0
Output levels and limiter settings assume equal amplifier power to each passband with amplifier input sensitivity of 0dBu
Notes: DN9848e and DN9848 with firmware V4.01 and higher have the ability to toggle between Q and BW for parametric filters. DN9848
with firmware V3.05 and older only use BW, use attached conversion spreadsheet to convert. Do not adjust output filters, use input filters for
room and system tuning. DN9848 with firmware V3.05 and older has a maximum of 100ms release time for limiters. For these versions,
change Subwoofer and LF release times to 100ms.
