Fig. 2.1: Control elements and connections

The LINE OUT XLR jack provides the signal with no

additional gain applied in order to connect another

loudspeaker, for example. The output signal is a mix of

both input signals. (See Chapter 4.2 for more information

on how to use several loudspeakers)

The B512DSP is equipped with a 2-band tone control. Each band

allows you to apply a maximum boost/cut of 15 dB, in its center

position the equalizer is set to neutral.

Use the EQ HIGH control to cut or boost the treble range

by 15 dB. The cut-off frequency is 12 kHz.
Use the EQ LOW control to cut or boost the bass range by

15 dB. The cut-off frequency is 100 Hz.
The B512DSP features a high-pass filter with a slope of

24 dB/oct. to eliminate unwanted low-frequency content,

such as pop sounds produced by hand-held microphones,

or rumble or wind noise when using high-sensitivity

microphones. The LOW CUT control adjusts the cut-off

frequency. If you want to use the B512DSP in combination

with a subwoofer, you can use the high-pass filter to

lower the bass range reproduced by the subwoofer. This

allows you to operate the B512DSP even without an

external frequency crossover. Set the cut-off frequency

to the highest frequency that can be reproduced by the

subwoofer.
The CONTOUR switch governs the dynamic contour filter:
SPEECH
Setting the CONTOUR switch to SPEECH (switch not

pressed) will optimize the frequency response for speech

applications. This ensures better intelligibility.
MUSIC
Setting the CONTOUR switch to MUSIC (switch pressed)

will optimize the frequency response for music playback.
The TIMED TURNOFF switch activates the automatic turn-

off function:
ON
When the switch is actuated (ON position), the automatic

turn-off function is active. The loudspeaker is turned off

automatically when it receives no signal for more than 3

minutes. As soon as a signal is received, the loudspeaker

is switched back on.

Power is supplied via an IEC connector. The matching

cable is provided with the unit.
Use the POWER switch to turn on the B512DSP. Before

connecting the unit to the power mains, ensure that the

POWER switch is in OFF position.

Attention: The POWER switch does not fully

disconnect the unit from the mains. To disconnect

the unit from the mains, pull out the main cable plug

or appliance coupler. When installing the product,

ensure the plug or appliance coupler is readily

operable. Unplug the power cord completely when

the unit is not used for long periods of time.

Use the LEVEL control to adjust the signal gain of the

MIC/LINE inputs. Before you connect or disconnect a signal

source to or from one of the inputs, please turn the

corresponding control fully to the left. Once the signal source

is connected, increase the volume as desired by turning the

control clockwise. Always make sure that the CLIP LED

does not light up at all or with signal peaks only.

Line-level signals:
Devices with high output levels (e.g. the outputs of mixing

consoles or CD players) only need little gain. In this case,

the LEVEL control will mostly be positioned somewhere in

the area marked LINE (left half of the control range).
Microphone signals
Low-level microphone signals need more gain. When

microphones are used, the control will be positioned in the

MIC area (right half of the control range).

We would like to draw your attention to the fact that

extremely loud sound levels may damage your

hearing as well as your headphones/loudspeakers.

Turn the LEVEL control fully to the left before you

switch on the unit. Be careful to select a suitable

volume at all times.

The CLIP LED lights up when the input signal level is too

high. In this case, turn the LEVEL control

to the left

until the LED goes out or only lights up at peak levels.
Use the MIC/LINE inputs (XLR connectors) for connecting

audio signals.
