  DVA K5    Rev 1.2 cod. 420120232Q 
First switch on for line-array setup: 
The DIGIPRO G3® amplifier of DVA K5 is controlled 
by a powerful DSP. All the connections and controls 
are in the rear amplifier control panel: 
1 – Mains Fuse 
2 – Auto-range mains input 
3 – Mains (power) link output 
4 – Balanced audio input 
5 – Link audio output 
6 – Service data mini B-type USB port 
7 – DSP preset BCD rotary switches 
8 – Audio input sensitivity rotary switch 
9 – LEDs (Limiter, Signal, Mute/Prot, Ready) 
WARNING  
The fuse is factory set for 220-240 V operation. 
If it is necessary to change the fuse to 100-120V range: 
1.  Disconnect the speaker from any cable 
2.  Wait 5 minutes 
3.  Substitute the fuse with the correct one supplied 
Use only cables with Neutrik® connectors! 
a)  Once you have properly set up the desired line-
array configuration (see also the DVA K5 complete user 
manual  and  accessories  instructions  for  further 
information), connect the audio input (4). Connect the 
useful link output (5) to other DVA K5 modules, for the 
audio connection of all the line-array elements. Set the 
audio input sensitivity (8) of DVA K5 to 0 dB. 
b)  Check  the  rear  panel  reference  label  for  a 
proper  DSP  regulation.  In  this  label  you  can  find  the 
suggested position of rotary switches (7) for each type 
of installation (Speakers Coupling positions and High 
Frequency Compensation). These settings are the main 
acoustic  corrections  to  create  the  best  coupling 
between  the  elements  of  your line-array,  in  order to 
obtain the best coverage conditions.  
c)  Connect  the  power  link  (3)  to  other  DVA  K5 
modules,  to  link  the  power  supply  between  all  the 
elements of your array. Please note that the maximum 
linkable rated power and current depends on the first 
module connection conditions. 
d)  Connect  the  power  supply  (2)  to  the  first 
module.  The  related  “Ready”  LED  (9)  turns  on, 
signaling the proper power connection. Turn the audio 
input sensitivity  (8) to the desired level. The  “Signal” 
LED (9) start blinking at the presence of audio signal 
(greater  than  -20dBu).  Avoid  audio  distortion 
conditions,  potentially  signaled  by  the  “Limiter”  LED 
(9).
