Operation
Starting up
The unit will energise as soon as power is applied to the IEC inlet; there is no power switch.
During the start up process the firmware application model number and version numbers
are displayed and the outputs are muted until the unit has completed its internal checks.
Once the start-up routines are complete, the unit is ready to pass audio. The DSP signal
path will be restored to the same settings as when it was last powered down.
Selecting a Factory Preset
The Coda Audio DNC260 series processors have a library of Factory Presets designed to suit
a range of applications.
Factory Presets contain some parameters that are fixed and hidden from view; the
remainder of the DSP parameters are available for user manipulation. The number and type
of hidden parameters is depended on the Factory Preset.
To recall a Factory Preset for a particular cabinet or system, press Recall and use the left
hand parameter knob A to scroll through the available Factory Preset locations (as indicated
by a box symbol after the preset number). Once the appropriate preset has been selected
press recall again, at which point you will be asked to confirm the action by pressing recall
for a third time. This is to guard against accidental recall of presets.
Factory Presets are locked so they cannot be over-written. The user can, however, store an
edited version of a Factory Preset in any free preset location.
Details of all the Factory Presets including output designations can be found in Appendix A.
Creating a Crossover
The Factory Presets are mono and stereo. These Base Presets are stored in locations 1 and
2 respectively. They can be used to develop settings for any loudspeaker. These presets are
locked but the user can name and store their own edited versions in any free preset
location.
