even relatively low input signal levels. The 0 indicators are intended to show nominal operating
level and can also be useful for setting system gain structure.
A.1.3 Input Clip/mute Indicator
The input clip/mute indicator CLP warns the user of either input mute or input overload at
+19 dBu. The overload indicator will only come on when all other signal lights are illuminated.
If the other lights are off, this indicator shows a muted input state. Input mute is turned on/off
in the <IN> gain page.
This differs from the CLP indication, as this remains illuminated at all times whilst mute
is active.
A.1.4 Graphical Display
When the device is switched on, it will show the default screen. This provides a useful overview
of channel allocation and Drive Module presets. The screen contrast can be changed by pressing
the <UTIL> button to navigate to Screen and using encoder A will change the percentage;
this can also help with the viewing angle. In most pages the currently selected channel and
parameter information is displayed on the upper part of the screen and the parameter value
on the lower part of the screen.
A.1.5 Status Indicators
The OVERLAY indicator shows when there are parameters active on a group layer, which
the user cannot access through the front panel of the device. The NETAUDIO indicator
shows that a networked digital audio card is installed and routed (Such as Dante or AVB). The
ONLINE indicator has three states:
Off The unit is offline and not connected to a computer or network.
Flashing The unit is searching for an IP address, if the unit does not find an IP address the
unit will assign itself an IP address automatically and the indicator will stop flashing.
On The unit is online and connected with software. IP settings can be viewed or changed
within the <UTIL> pages.
A.1.6 Parameter Encoders
Three velocity sensitive parameter encoders are used to adjust parameters shown on the display.
Up to three parameters at a time are displayed on the screen. The parameter name is shown
above the parameter value in each of the three screen sections.
A.1.7 AES3 Active Indicators
The AES3 active indicators show that the AES3 input/output is active for that pair of channels.
AES3 transmits two channels down one XLR cable. On the DMS48 each pair is carried by
the odd number connector such as, 1+2 will be carried on XLR connector 1 and 3+4 will be
carried on XLR 3 and so on.
A.1.8 Mute Buttons
