Specifications

8 | DANGEROUS MUSIC
6. SIGNAL LEDs
Feature: 8 signal leds reveal when signal is present at the summing inputs (11).
Benefit: Determine whether audio is passing into the D-Box for trouble shooting.
Tip:, If the signal lights are active and nothing is plugged into the unit, there is a DC offset present in
your system. Track it down and exterminate it.
7. PAN CONTROLS
Feature: The first six channels of the summing section are fed to the stereo bus in pairs (i.e. 1-2, 3-4 and
5-6). 7 & 8 have pan pots.
Benefit: The pan pots for channels 7 & 8 allow the placement of their signals anywhere in the mix and for
treating individual instruments. For example, assign both the bass and vocal track to a mono output
in the computer software. Now patch their signals into your favorite outboard gear like a BAX EQ
and then on into the D-Box’s sum inputs 7 and 8. Pan these up the center and you’re summing
with analog outboard. Don’t forget you can always strap stereo processors across the other pairs
as well.
Operation: First confirm that the desired signal is traveling to 7 or 8 and then adjust the pan pots to your liking.
Tip: , An important track like lead vocals or kick drum can benefit from having its own output.
8. VOLUME KNOB
Feature: The volume knob controls the level to the monitors from whatever source(s) have been selected (4).
Operation: Always begin with the knob completely counter-clockwise to avoid hearing loss and blown drivers.
Tip: , This knob does not affect the summing output.
