6 | DANGEROUS MUSIC
Need to step between monitors to see if that distortion is emanating from the speakers or the mix?
[toggle mode] Or listen to one set for an extended period? [latch mode]
Need to say, “rolling!” over the talkback mic to the talent? [toggle mode] Or leave it open for a
lengthy discussion between the singer in the tracking room and the drummer in the control room.
[latch mode]
Operation: latch mode. If the buttons are pressed and released quickly, they will latch.
toggle mode. If pressed and held for more than a second, the function remains engaged until the
button is released.
Tip:, Be certain the talkback switch is not latched on when finished addressing the artist. For example:
To the artist “Okay, we got it.” To the second engineer “How are we going to get him to sing in
key?” Click. Oops. A talkback remote switch plugged into the jack on the rear panel (9) will not
latch, thus keeping this scenario from happening.
3B. SETUP BUTTONS (MONO, ALT SPKR)
Setup Mode: To enter setup mode press the mono and alt spkr buttons simultaneously (3). Both switches will
flash alternately indicating that the D-Box is waiting to set the input selection mode and the analog
input gain. To exit setup mode press one of the flashing switches. The D-Box is now reset and any
input selection mode and/or analog input gain mode changes will be saved.
Sum Switch: To monitor from up to three sources simultaneously (instead of the default single source), enter
setup mode (above) and press the sum switch (4). It will light up. Next, exit setup mode and like
magic, monitor a combination of inputs mixed together. When in setup mode, pressing the lit sum
switch (4) extinguishes the light and returns the D-Box back to normal monitoring mode. (i.e. one
input at a time.) So for example, monitor from the sum switch, analog switch and either the daw
or cd switch. (The digital switches will not combine).
Analog Input Gain: The analog input gain is factory calibrated for +4dBu sources. To accommodate consumer
and other -10dBV devices, first enter setup mode (see above) and then press the analog switch (4).
The switch will light and add 11.7dB of gain. Pressing the lit analog switch (4) while in setup mode
extinguishes the light and returns the calibration to +4dBu.
4. INPUT SELECT BUTTONS (SUM, ANALOG, DAW, CD)
Tip:, The Input Select section has two analog and two digital sources to choose from. The selected input
is sent to both the speakers and headphone amplifiers.
