SETTING UP THE D3500

Setting up your D3500 Graphic Equalizer is a simple pro-

cedure which takes only a few minutes:

1. Remove all packing materials (save them in case of

need for future service) and decide where the unit is to

be physically placed—it can be used free-standing or

mounted in a standard 19" rack.

2. Make sure the power to all mixers and amplifiers in

your audio system is off.

. The D3500 can be used either as an “in-line” device,

as an insert device (in conjunction with mixer insert

points), or in an effects send-return loop. The illustra-

tions on pages 19-21 show each of these typical con-

figurations. Choose the configuration that is best for

your application and then begin by making the D3500

input connections, using the XLR connectors on the

rear panel.

4. Next, make the D3500 output connections, using the

XLR connectors on the rear panel to connect your

power amplifier or active speakers.

. Plug in the supplied AC cord and connect it to any

standard AC socket.

. Press the rear panel Power switch to turn on the

D3500. Press the Filter Select switches in to activate

the equalizer.

Note: if you have the AI02 board installed, the audio signal

will be muted for approximately five seconds until the relay

power-on circuitry is activated (at which time you’ll hear a

click and the audio signal will be unmuted).

Navigating the D3500 Control

Before you move ahead into the many D3500 onboard

effects, you should become familiar with the front panel

controls and the various parameters that they can set.

The D3500 front panel switches are set up in groups relat-

ed to the function or parts of the operating system they

control. Some switches are placed individually, since they

are dedicated to a single function, and other switches are

arranged in groups since their functionality is related. The

D3500 function switch sections are arranged on the front

panel as follows.

First, is the BYPASS switch that enables

you to turn the equalizer and all effects on or off. Next is

the A/B switch that lets you compare the actual modified

program to the last program loaded or stored . Then you

will find a group of switches including LEFT, LINK and

RIGHT

which are used to assign the D3500's hardware

RIGHT which are used to assign the D3500's hardware RIGHT

controls to operate the Left, Right or Left and Right EQ

channels.

RESET is the next switch and it allows you

quickly clear any selected filters, returning them to the 0dB

Gain position. The next section is where you will find the

D3500’s powerful onboard digital loudspeaker processing

effects, which are controlled by the FBM, EQ, GATE, DELAY,

ENHANCE, HP /LP, LIMITER and IN/OUT switches. GLOBAL

gives you access to the overall system settings, and MIDI

lets you set up the device-to-device communications

including Samson Audio’s high-speed, D-Net protocol.

Finally, in order to save and retrieve your favorite settings,

the D3500’s LOAD and STORE switches allow you to access

the 100 on-board presets. The following sections of this

manual will detail each of the switches and their associ-

ated parameters. Instead of going from left to right, we’ll

switch up the order a bit for a more logical flow through

the system.

You should know this !

Some switches are capable of accessing more than one

parameter, so as you press the switch repeatedly you will

page through the available parameters. These include the

FBM, GATE, HP/LP, Limiter, GLOBAL and MIDI. For example,

the FMB switch has three

pages to

click though the param-

eters, Sensitivity, Feedback Hold, Feedback Release. You

can change the parameters of any of these functions by

using the large Data Wheel located by the main LCD dis-

play.

GLOBAL

The GLOBAL control allows you to set up the various sys-

tem parameters including the input option and mode.

The Global Switch Has Two Clicks!
