Factory Presets
The DS1-MK3 has easily accessible factory pre-
sets for a quick setup which can then be refined
and adapted to the programme being processed.
These factory presets are grouped according to
their function:
De-Esser: Four applications for high-frequency
transients removal. Adjust threshold and cross-
over frequency as required.
Limiter: Three settings for loudness maximising
- experiment with the transfer curve parameters
for a programme optimised result. The last set-
ting uses the crossover to select the low-band
and applies a small gain, hence „bass boost“.
[More factory presets are in preparation]
To access the factory presets press the “menu”
key then “snapshots” and then the “presets”
key.

Dither
The DS1-MK3 is able to apply POW-R type dither
algorithms to avoid distortion when re-
quantizing from 24bit to 16bit or 20bit output
word length (see TECHNICAL DATA for dither
specifications).
To toggle dither on/off, press key D twice. To
see dither status refer to the status display (  ,
see Status Display p. 7).
Word Length
To set output word length, press key D and se-
lect the appropriate wordlength.
Setup
Press key D then chose the setup menu. This
leads to the menu where the type of POW-R
dither can be chosen (see TECHNICAL DATA for
dither specifications). Also selectable is:
Auto-Blacking
If auto-blacking is activated by marking the “0
IN  0 OUT“ option, dither will be turned off if
the input signal is zero As soon as the input
signal changes, dither will be turned on again.
This ensures that pauses between programmes
are still digital zero, even if dither is activated.
