with the XLR to RCA adapters included with the DA11 to connect the DA11 to a preamp
with RCA inputs. This applies to standard XLR to RCA adapters and adapter cables.
- If pin 2 is “on” as indicated by the LED above the “pin 2” label, Pin 2 is active (has
audio signal present) on both the left and right output XLR connectors. If pin 2 is “off” as
indicated by the LED above the “pin 2” label, Pin 2 is grounded on both the left and right
output XLR connectors.
- If pin 3 is “on” as indicated by the LED above the “pin 3” label, Pin 3 is active (has
audio signal present) on both the left and right output XLR connectors. If pin 3 is “off” as
indicated by the LED above the “pin 3” label, Pin 3 is grounded on both the left and right
output XLR connectors.
- If either pin 2 or pin 3 is already “off,” setting the opposite pin to “off” will turn the first
pin “on” so that a least one pin is always active.
- If both pins are “on,” the output is configured for balanced operation.
- If pin 3 is “off,” the outputs are configured for “Pin 2 Hot unbalanced” operation.
- If pin 2 is “off,” the outputs are configured for “Pin 3 Hot unbalanced” operation.
- Dim. This function sets the brightness level of the front panel display. When dim is “on”
as indicated by the LED, the front displays are dimmed to approximately half brightness.
Diagram 1, Section 2- >PiC< Playback Image Control™ (Operating mode)
This section controls the stereo image in both the main (XLR) outputs and the
headphone output. It consists of the LED’s below the IMAGE legend and the two
switches labeled “wide narrow” and “narrow wide.” Please note that the switches are
active in both Operating and Setting modes. Moving the settings in the “wide” direction
increases the apparent width of the stereo image, and moving the settings in the narrow
direction decreases the stereo width (making it “more mono”). The left and right controls
are independent of each other, and can be used to alter the stereo image of asymmetric
mixes (true stereo recordings, for example) or adjust for asymmetrical speaker
placement. When both LED indicators are on “0,” the stereo image is not altered. Please
note that the perceived effects of these adjustments are very program dependent, and
may result in a change in acoustic level.
- When “Mute” is activated from the optional infrared remote, both IMAGE indicator
LED’s will go dark to indicate that the Mute function is active.
Diagram 1, Section 3- Volume Control (Operating mode)
This section consists of the VOLUME display and the “up/down” switch.
- Please note the up/down switch always controls the volume in both Operating and
Setting modes.
The VOLUME display has 4 possible types of indication, two in Operating mode and two
in Setting mode.
- It displays the volume setting during adjustment and for approximately 10 seconds after
adjustment in Operating mode.
- It displays “LE” at other times in Operating mode to indicate that the settings have been
stored in memory, and that the infrared remote functions have been “gated off” to
prevent accidental changes to the settings. Please see Determining the Correct DA11
Volume Setting for Your System for important information.
