Mid may be adjusted by selecting Music, followed by
the Zone name (or number), and then setting the MF EQ
(±14 dB) in the Mid select box.

Rotary Control adjusts LF EQ
Numeric buttons select Zone
This adjusts the music low-frequency EQ in each Zone. The
equaliser is a bell filter with a centre frequency of 50 Hz.
The eight numeric buttons correspond to the eight Zones;
select the one to have its EQ adjusted.
The rotary control adjusts the LF EQ in the selected Zone.
The range of adjustment available is ±14 dB in 2 dB steps.
UTILITY
Bass may be adjusted by clicking the OUTPUTS tab,
selecting the Zone in the left-hand drop-down list, and
then setting the LF EQ (±14 dB) from the Bass drop-
down list in the EQ area. Click Send Output to

Input Gain

Gain +6dB
Rotary Control adjusts Gain
Numeric buttons select Input
The Input Gain function allows adjustment of the level of
each music input, so that sources with different output levels
can be matched in volume. This adjustment will affect the
audio level of the selected source in all Zones.
The gain control range is deliberately restricted to ±12 dB,
but it should permit input levels to be adjusted to suit most
sources. Should it prove inadequate, the output level of the
source should be adjusted instead.
Adjustment of input gain is not available for sources connected
via LE-1 and BE-1 remote input modules. The presence of
these modules at the Extension Ports is detected, and the
gain on inputs in use is then fixed at -6 dB. In the case of the
LE-1, input gain should be adjusted with the controls provided
on the input module itself; on the BE-1, which is normalised
for 0 dBu operation, the signal level will need to be adjusted
at the source.
The eight numeric buttons correspond to the eight line inputs;
select that to be adjusted.
The rotary control adjusts the input gain. The range of
adjustment available is ±12 dB in 1 dB steps.
A bargraph meter is displayed on the top row of the LCD. It
indicates input signal level; the gain should be adjusted so that
the deflection reaches the “target area” at the right-hand end,
indicated by horizontal lines.
Input Gain may be set by clicking the INPUTS tab,
selecting the Input in the LINE INPUT drop-down
list, and then setting the gain (±12 dB) from the Input
Gain
drop-down list. Click Send Input to transmit
the new setting.
Maximum Music Level

Rotary Control sets level
Numeric buttons select Zone
This menu function allows a maximum music level to be set
for each Zone. This is useful when audio amplifiers of similar
ratings are being used for each Zone, but different music
volumes are required in the various Zones. Once set, users
will not be able to raise the volume for a Zone above the
preset maximum either from a CDR-1 remote control in the
Zone or from the DCM1 itself.
The eight numeric buttons correspond to the eight Zones;
select that to be adjusted. The Maximum Level setting is
per-Zone
only; the function is disabled if a Zone which is
