1 SECTION 1: DP-3 FIELD INSTALLATION

The Crown-Omnia DP3 Processor Card can be ordered as part of a new Crown

Broadcast transmitter, or it can be ordered as an upgrade for installation in a currently

owned Crown transmitter. In the first case we worry about installing the card. In the

second case you do.

Still, do not worry much. The DP-3 has been designed for straightforward, even easy,

installation into all Crown transmitters. “Easy installation” can be slippery terminology

when applied to complex technical items, but we think we can back it up here.

If you are upgrading a transmitter you already own, first of all let us congratulate you on

your decision to add the state-of-the-art audio processing of the Crown-Omnia DP-3 to

your broadcasts. Although we have been pleased over the years with the response we

have gotten from users of our basic processor design, we are very excited about the

addition of Omnia processing power to Crown transmitters.

The DP-3 adds many new possibilities to the sound of your radio. From Omnia presets

to your own personally tweaked signature audio, your broadcasts will never sound better.

PC control of the processing elements, along with programmable addresses for your

personal presets, give flexible new processing tools to every kind of user.

And even though we believe the DP-3 installation will be crystal clear and classic in its

simplicity, please take a few minutes to read through this chapter before proceeding with

the installation.
