PROEL DBA1CH Active Direct Box User Manual

1. Ievads

Thank you for choosing the PROEL DBA1CH Active Direct Box. This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient operation of your device. The DBA1CH is designed to convert unbalanced, high-impedance instrument signals into balanced, low-impedance signals suitable for direct connection to mixing consoles or audio interfaces, minimizing noise and signal degradation over long cable runs.

2. Drošības informācija

Please read and understand all safety instructions before operating the DBA1CH. Retain this manual for future reference.

• Barošanas avots: The unit can be powered by two internal 9V batteries, a 12Vdc adapter (not included), or +48V Phantom Power from a connected mixer. Ensure the correct power source is used.
• Akumulatora uzstādīšana: When installing batteries, ensure correct polarity. Remove batteries if the unit will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
• Vide: Do not expose the unit to rain, moisture, extreme temperatures, or direct sunlight. Operate in a dry, well-ventilated area.
• Apkope: Nemēģiniet apkalpot šo ierīci paši. Visus apkopes darbus uzticiet kvalificētam servisa personālam.

Figure 1: Front Panel Layout of the PROEL DBA1CH Active Direct Box. This image displays the various input and output jacks, including the DBA1CH Input, Link, Unbalanced Output, and Balanced Output (XLR). It also shows the PAD and GND LIFT switches, and the power indicator LED.

3.1 Priekšējā paneļa funkcijas

• DBA1CH Input (6.3mm Jack): Unbalanced input for connecting instruments or line-level sources.
• Link Output (6.3mm Jack): Parallel output of the input signal, typically used to feed an instrument ampdzīvāks.
• Unbalanced Output (6.3mm Jack): An additional unbalanced output.
• Balansēta izeja (XLR): Balanced low-impedance output for connecting to a mixer or audio interface.
• PAD slēdzis: Attenuates the input signal by +20dB to prevent clipping when connecting high-output sources.
• GND LIFT Switch: Disconnects the ground connection between the input and output to eliminate hum and ground loops.
• Strāvas indikators LED: Iedegas, kad iekārta ir ieslēgta.

4. Iestatīšana

4.1 Ierīces ieslēgšana/izslēgšana

The DBA1CH can be powered in three ways:

1. 9 V baterijas: Insert two 9V batteries into the battery compartments, ensuring correct polarity. (Batteries not included).
2. 12Vdc Adapter: Connect a compatible 12Vdc power adapter (not included) to the DC input jack.
3. +48V fantoma jauda: If connected to a mixer with phantom power, the unit will automatically draw power from the XLR output.

4.2. Pamatsavienojums

Follow these steps for a typical setup:

1. Connect your instrument (e.g., guitar, bass, keyboard) to the DBA1CH Input using a 6.3mm mono jack cable.
2. (Pēc izvēles) Pievienojiet Saites izeja to your instrument amplifier if you wish to monitor your sound on stage.
3. Savienojiet Balanced Output (XLR) to a microphone input on your mixing console or audio interface using an XLR cable.
4. Ensure the mixer's phantom power is enabled for the corresponding channel if you are using phantom power.

5. Lietošanas instrukcijas

5.1 PAD Switch Usage

The PAD switch is used to attenuate the input signal by +20dB. Engage this switch if you are connecting a high-output source (e.g., active bass, keyboard, or line-level output) and notice distortion or clipping at the mixer input. For most passive instruments, leave the PAD switch in the "Normal" (off) position.

5.2 GND LIFT Switch Usage

The GND LIFT switch helps eliminate hum or buzzing noises caused by ground loops. If you hear unwanted noise in your audio signal, try engaging this switch. If the noise persists or worsens, return the switch to its original position.

6. Apkope

• Tīrīšana: Ierīces ārpuses tīrīšanai izmantojiet mīkstu, sausu drānu. Nelietojiet abrazīvus tīrīšanas līdzekļus, šķīdinātājus vai vasku.
• Akumulatora nomaiņa: If using battery power, replace batteries when the power indicator LED dims or the audio signal becomes weak or distorted. Always replace both 9V batteries simultaneously.
• Uzglabāšana: When not in use, store the unit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, remove the batteries.
