• To access the Threshold parameter, press the GATE

switch until you see the menu, Gate Th. The Gate

Threshold can be set from –100 dB to 0 dB.

• To access the Release parameter, press the GATE switch

until you see the menu, Gate Rel. The Gate Release time

can be set from 50 to 100 % (equivalent to 2 to 15 sec-

onds).

Using the DELAY

The D3500 offers an on board Digital Delay for setting up

delay clusters in large venue sound systems. The Delay

can be set from 0 to 85 milliseconds. Setting the delay is

a simple procedure which can be accomplished by follow-

ing the next few steps:

• Press the DELAY switch so that the yellow LED is lit.

• Engage the effect by pressing the IN / OUT switch until

the yellow LED lights.

• Now, use the Data Wheel to select the correct delay

time for your application.

Using the ENHANCER

The D3500 has a unique digital Enhancer, which can help

sweeten a sound system, and at the same time, reduce

unwanted noise. The D3500’s Enhancer uses several

powerful algorithms to analyze the signal content and

then decide how to enhance the signal; based on that

content. If the D3500 Enhancer senses that there is music

playing with good high frequency content, it will slightly

boost these frequencies creating sweet and airy top-end

response. When the D3500 Enhancer sees that there is lit-

tle or no high-frequency content, it will slightly reduce the

high-frequency response of the system. This can be espe-

cially useful since often when the high-frequency content

is very low, or off, the only thing you hear is system hiss.

The Enhancer will recognize the noise and reduce it by

cutting the associated EQ filters automatically.

Operating the D3500

Once the highs return, the Enhance releases automatically.

Of course the D3500 lets you dial up just the right amount

of Enhancer for your project, so follow the steps below to

activate the Enhancer.

• Press the ENHANCE switch so that the yellow LED is lit.

• Engage the effect by pressing the IN / OUT switch until

the yellow LED lights.

• Now, use the Data Wheel to select the correct Enhancer

setting, from 0 to 100%, that’s right for your application.

Setting an EQ Contour Using the HP / LP

The D3500 includes digital High-pass and Low-pass filters

for creating quick equalization curve contours. A Hi-pass

filter, sometimes called a low-cut filter, is used to attenuate

the frequencies below are certain point. The HP filter pass-

es the highs, but cuts the lows. A Low-pass filter, some-

times referred to as a high-cut filter, is used to attenuate

the frequencies above a certain frequency point. The LP

filter passed the lows, but cuts the highs.

You can use the High and Low pass filters for a variety of

applications. Using the High-pass filter can be especially

useful in removing the low frequencies that can some

times cause stage rumble. If you have a lot of high fre-

quency system noise and hiss, you can use the Low-pass

filter to roll-off the high-end of your system. When equal-

izing a monitor system, you may use both the HP and LP

filters to roll-off the high and lows for a vocal eq contour.

Any good high and low-pass filters will allow you to

choose the cut-off frequency, and also, the Order, or slope,

at which the filter will attenuate. The D3500 let’s you set

the frequency at which the HP or LP filters cut from, and

they will also let you choose slope of either 6, 12 or 18 db

per octave.
