Owner`s manual

1. Powering the Deva

1.1. Insert a fully charged NP-1 type battery and/or plug in an external 12v DC

source to the 4 pin XLR power connector. The external source should be

between 10 and 16v DC, 1 amp. Pin 4 is +, Pin 1 is -.

1.2. NOTE – DEVA 5 is internally fused. The fuses are self resetting. If the fuse

trips wait approximately 60 seconds then re-power the unit (assuming of

course that you first correct the fault that caused the failure).

1.3. Turn the Power Switch on. Deva will automatically select either the internal

battery or external power. When external power drops below 9.5 volts Deva

will seamlessly switch to battery power. Deva will not charge the internal

battery. Neither will it drain it if it is running on external power.

2. Connecting the Deva

2.1. Analog Inputs:

2.1.1. DEVA 5 has 8 Analog inputs on standard 3 pin female XLR

connectors which are individually software selectable for either Mic

or Line level via the INPUT CONTROL button on the MAIN MENU.

2.1.2. Each Analog input has a digitally controlled analog limiter. It can

be turned on or off via the INPUT CONTROL MENU. The limiting

occurs before the Analog to Digital Converter to prevent any

possible digital clipping. Once a

signal is digitized it is impossible to

‘clip’ within the Deva because the Deva uses a Floating Point DSP

algorithm.

2.1.3. Deva also has an input available on Pins 5 and 7 of the Camera

Connector that can be used as a camera return feed for monitoring.

While 2 inputs are available on this connector, they are

summed to mono internally.

2.2. Analog Outputs:

2.2.1. Deva has 6 analog outputs available on the 25 pin connector.

Two outputs (from tracks 5 and 6) are available on the 10 pin

Camera Connector. Nominal output level at –20 dB reference from

clipping is –10dBu
