About this Ownerās Manual
This
Ownerās Manual
covers the DM2000 Digital Production Console.
All the information you need in order to operate the DM2000 Digital Production Console
is contained in this manual. Use the table of contents to familiarize yourself with the man-
ualās organization and to locate tasks and topics, and use the index to locate speciļ¬c infor-
mation. Before diving in, itās recommend that you read the āOperating Basicsā chapter,
starting on page 51.
Each chapter of this manual discusses a speciļ¬c section or function of the DM2000. The
Input and Output Channels are explained in the following chapters: āInput Channels,ā āBus
Outs,ā āAux Sends,ā āMatrix Sends,ā and āStereo Out.ā Where possible, these chapters have
been organized in order of signal ļ¬ow, from input through to output.
Functions such as EQ and Delay are common to all channels. Rather than repeat the same
information over and over, these functions are explained once in the āCommon Channel
Functionsā chapter, which starts on page 127. The āInput Channels,ā āBus Outs,ā āAux
Sends,ā āMatrix Sends,ā and āStereo Outā chapters contain cross-references to the relevant
sections of the āCommon Channel Functionsā chapter.
Conventions Used in this Manual
The DM2000 features two types of button: physical buttons that you can press (e.g., ENTER
and DISPLAY) and buttons that appear on the display pages. References to physical buttons
are enclosed in square brackets, for example, āpress the [ENTER] button.ā References to dis-
play page buttons are not emphasized, for example, āpress the ENTER button.ā
Display pages can be selected by using the [DISPLAY] buttons or the Left Tab Scroll, Right
Tab Scroll, and F1ā4 buttons below the display. In order to simplify explanations, only the
[DISPLAY] button method is mentioned in the procedures. See āSelecting Display Pagesā
on page 53 for details on all the ways in which pages can be selected.
