Section 2 - Getting Started
This section provides
an
introduction to the DP
/4's
many
controls
and
rear panel connections; a
conceptual overview of the system; a guide to selecting
DP / 4 presets;
and
a discussion of editing
various
types
of parameters. We suggest
you
read this section carefully - it will help you get the
most
out
of
your
DP /
4.

This jack
is
for connecting a guitar
or
any
high
or
low impedance
instrument
. This jack is
routed
to the
same
input
circuitry as the Input 1 jack located
on
the
rear
panet
and
is electrically
equivalent.
When
an
instrument is
plugged
into the front
panel
jack, Input 1 on the rear panel is
disabled.
2) Input Knobs - Signal/Peak LEOs
These four
input
knobs control the gain applied to the
input
signals. The
input
circuitry
is
designed to
work
with
signals
ranging
from -12.5 dBV to +18 dBV. Use this knob to set each
input
to
the
optimal
level for the signal
you
are feeding into it.
The
two
LEDs above each knob indicate the level of the
input
signal being fed into the Analog-to-
Digital Converters (ADCs). The Signal LED will light
when
a
low
level signal is present
at
the
input.
Note
that
extremely low level
input
signals
may
not
trigger the Signal LED. The Peak
LED will light
when
the incoming signal reaches -6dB below
the
ADC
clipping point. For
optimal level, adjust the
Input
knob
so
that
the
red
"peak"
LED flashes only occasionally. Note
that the
peak
LEDs indicate the levels of the
input
signals only
and
will
not
reflect clipping
in
the
digital processing stages.
3) Output Knobs
The four
output
knobs control the
output
level of each channel.
If
separate signals are being
processed
in
the
ENSONIQ DP
/4,
these knobs will control
the
"mix-down"
volumes. The
maximum
output
level is
+15
dBV.
