Owner’s Manual
Effects processing and GEQs
The PRO Series contains six or eight mono Klark Teknik (KT) GEQs and seven effects
processors as standard.
The seven effects processors can be freely chosen from:
• KT DN780 reverb.
•Delay.
•Flanger.
•Phaser.
• Pitch shifter.
• SQ1 dynamics.
• Stereo 3-band compressor.
The six or eight mono KT GEQs can be patched into any output. There are many
patching options for the effects processors:
• Assign to any insert send/return.
• Assign to any pool, in or out.
• Assign FX out to aux return.
• Assign FX in to aux send (post-fade).
• Assign FX out to bus direct in.
• Assign FX in to channel direct out.
A Klark Teknik DN9331 RAPIDE motorised fader GEQ controller can be used with the
PRO Series. This unit provides rapid adjustments of the graphics with real hardware,
and not a mouse and screen. The graphic channel is selected either by the solo button
(solo tracking system (STS™)) on the PRO Series Control Centre or by buttons on the
DN9331 itself.
Audio physical connections
The maximum total number of physical analogue XLR connections possible on a PRO
Series Live Audio System is 288, plus the six local monitor outputs, talkback line out,
talk line in and talkback mic in on the rear of the control centre. The 288 configurable
connections can be any combination of inputs and outputs, in multiples of eight of each
type.
The maximum number of 288 configurable I/O can be increased up to 576 if a
combination of different types of I/O card used. The five available card types are
DL441, DL442, DL443, DL444 and DL452 (see Table 2 “Range of PRO Series equipment
supply” on page 14). Any three of these cards can be fitted directly into the rear of a
PRO Series Control Centre, and the remainder are fitted in the configurable I/O boxes.
All of the configurable I/O are freely routable on a scene-by-scene basis.
Surround capabilities
Theatres and broadcast have differing requirements for surround and both are catered
for in the PRO Series.
Conventional stereo and SIS™ panning is assignable on a channel-by-channel basis
(channel one can be in stereo, while channel two can be in SIS™), as follows:
• Stereo left–right routing to master buses.
• SIS™ left–right–centre routing to master buses.
