SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS When using cables it must be ensured that the wire cross-section has been approved for the required power consumption of the device. All warnings concerning the power cords are also valid for possible extension cords. Unplug the device when it is not used and before each cleaning. To do so, touch the mains plug at the grip and never pull on the power line, otherwise the cable and the connector may be damaged, which can lead to fatal electric shocks. If plug or appliance switch are not accessible f.i. Due to installation, mains side an all-pole switch-off has to be carried out. When the mains plug or the device is dusty, if has to be taken out of service, the current circuit has to be interrupted all-pole and the device has to be cleaned with a dry cloth. Dust can reduce the isolation, which can lead to fatal electric shocks. Heavy dirt in and at the device should only be removed by a specialist. Under no circumstance liquids of any kind may get into sockets, plug connections or into any device openings or device slots. If it is suspected that - even minimal - liquid could be spilled into the device, the device must immediately be disconnected from the mains all-pole. This is also valid when the device has been exposed to high air humidity. Even if the device still seems to operate, it has to be checked by a specialist, if possibly isolations has been damaged by the liquid entry. Reduced isolations can cause mortal electrical shocks. No strange objects may get into the device. This is especially valid for metal parts. Should even smallest metal parts like staples and paper clips or rough metal chips get into the device, the devices has to be taken out of operation immediately and all-pole unplugged. Malfunctions and short circuits caused by metal parts can have fatal injuries as a consequence. The device and its connections have to be protected against lightning strikes. Only connect the device in off condition. Before the device is switched on, all faders and volume controls have to be set to zero resp. to minimum.

C GENERAL POWER-VOICE PV-DSP-4ACD.9.4.1 Automatic power mixer with two power amplifiers (1. AMP 400W and 2. AMP 100W), especially developed for uses in difficult acoustic buildings (architectural acoustics). The PV-DSP-4ACD.9.4.1 is used in places, where most of the other devices generate no positive results or where a complete „rack“ with system components would have to be built up to achieve a reasonable acoustic result. The 8 universal inputs are shiftable between MIC.- and LINE sensitivity by DIP switches. Each of the 8 universal inputs has shiftable phantom power and a HPF filter (100 Hz). The universal inputs are equipped with shiftable automatic microphone system (DSDF), DIGITAL SIGNAL-DELAY-FIELD system. The release of all recorded microphones is done automatically and is controlled and supervised by the processor system (DSDF). By the input matrix (DIP switch) „MAINSUM-1“ and „MAINSUM-2“ all 8 input channels can be allocated to the „MAINSUM-1“ DSP outputs 1 to 3 and „MAINSUM-2“ to the DSP outputs 1 to 3 and 4. All settings of the matrix, the DSDF system, priority- resp. conference programming are described in the further chapters. Besides this, the „POWER VOICE“ PV-DSP-4ACD.9.4.1 has the following inputs and functions: - Input audio matrix „MAINSUM-1“ and „MAINSUM-2“ - COMPRESSOR-EXPANDER function - DeEsser with FULL, SPLIT, AIR functions - USB PM3 player - 8 inputs to XLR (MIC.-LINE by DIP switch) - LINE input (LINE-9 IN) to Cinch - 8 x input GAIN control -10 input parametric EQ - 2 PRESETS - Digital NOISE-GATE and LIMITER (software) - CROSSOVER (an allocation of the inputs 1 to 7 to output 4, resp. inputs 8 to 9 to output 4) - calendar function (automatic shift to PRESETS-2) - RS 485 REMOTE interface for cable remote control, manual shift between the presets - 4 x 5 output parametric EQ, 4 delays, 4 volume controls and automatic feedback limiter (sum) - 4 DSP outputs, the output No. 4 can be configured as X-Over SUB output - 3 100V/speaker line outputs (2 controllable zones, AMP-1, 400W) and (AMP-2, 100W) - PRE-MASTER EQ output (balanced to XLR) - 4 x POST-MASTER outputs DSP (balanced to XLR) - PRE-MASTER input (balanced to 3-poled jack) - Connection for cable remote control INPUT PANEL PRESET (RJ 45) - INFO OUT PRESET 2 (control with 2 x contacts) for f.i. shift of additional speaker lines at PRESET 2 - Output RECORD for recording devices - System software EASY-MANAGER 2.0. All these setting possibilities provide an even more precise room equalization and best adaption to the room acoustics. Besides this, the mixing amplifiers have an additional speaker line with separate volume control and SOFT-START adjustable in the system (standard setting 5 sec.) for better speaker protection. The devices are suitable as desktop version as well as for 19“-installation.

1. CONTROL LEDs AUTOMATIC SYSTEM Green LED indications light when the automatic mic.-system allows an input signal. Should the input not be activated, the green control LED remains dark and the input remains closed. Please possibly consider the DIP switch position. 2. CONTROL LEDs PEAK Red LED indications light, when the input signal is too high and the input is overloaded. In case of override please change the GAIN LEVEL or DIP switch position (MIC.-LINE). 3. CHANNEL VOLUME CONTROLS 1 to 9 These controls (level slide controls) determine the volume of the inputs 1 to 9. Please consider the volume controls (limiter) in the display (settings 1-4 VOL, DSP) and the MASTER control resp. GAIN LEVEL potentiometer at the rear side. 4. LINE INPUT Line input (0 dB) with level slide control, LF and HF-EQ control for f.i. CD player feed etc. (front input). 5. DeEsser (basics) If a transmission of the human voice is carried out, it is often necessary for aesthetic reasons, subsequently to amplify or to drive the high frequency parts of the reproduction (approx. 2 kHz to 8 kHz) by means of an equalizer. Thereby the voice gets a more muscular sound or more presence. Also with pure speech transmissions thus a voice appears to most listeners more direct and attracts more attention with the same volume. A problem occurs with raising of the high frequencies of a speech transmission, as the voiceless sibilants (s, ss, ß, sch, z, tz) almost exclusively consist of such frequencies, they are reproduced disproportionately loud by amplifying these areas. This effect also enhances the often applied compression of the speech signal, as these tones indeed are felt as loud, but they are low regarding the technical signal level and can hardly be lowered by the compressor. Insofar a reproduction processed in this way sounds very unpleasant, as the sibilants strike disproportionally loud and very intrusive.

DeEsser 5. (5.2) DeEsser (Function FULL/Automatic) The De-Esser located in the amplification system in the system setting „FULL“ at first automatically separates the lower from the problematic middle and upper frequencies (in the frequency range 800 Hz to 8 kHz) and then compresses the last, whereby too loud sections are automatically lowered in the level (please consider the setting „ATTENUATION“ poti No. 5.3). Then both signals are mixed together again. The result is a present and well sounding reproduction of the human voice without obtrusive sibilants (s, ss, ß, sch, z, tz). In system operation of the DeEsser „FULL“ the yellow control LED will light up. 5. (5.2) DeEsser (function SPLIT/ BAND manual) By pressing the button „DE-ESS BAND“ the DeEsser is activated in SPLIT modes, the green control LED lights up. With manual setting of the DeEsser the lower frequency (start frequency) with potentiometers No. 5.5 has to be set. Above this frequency the DeEsser is active. EXAMPLE: With poti Ni. 5.5 the start frequency is set to the value 3 kHz, that means the frequency above 3 kHz is controlled by the DeEsser and the high-energy, obtrusive sibilants (s, ss, ß, sch, z, tz) are reduced for the value set with the potentiometer No. 5.3 (attenuation) (0 dB to -20 dB). IMPORTANT: To reach a better sound result above the 12 kHz frequencies, it is recommended always to work with active DeEsser and additional function „AIR“.
5.1 Operating mode control LED`s The green LED lights when the DeEsser is located in the „FULL“ mode, the yellow LED lights with operating mode „SPLIT“.
5.2 Selection switch „DE-ESS BAND“ (MODES: FULL/SPLIT)
5.1 5.2 5.3
By activation of the selection switch between „FULL“ and „SPLIT“ (band) the desired MODE TYPE can be shifted.
5.3 ATTENUATION By turning the potentiometer the desired damping of the (s, ss, ß, sch, z, tz) tones is set. The adjusted damping affects both MODE types „FULL“ and „SPLIT“ equally. The range of the drive is between 0 dB and -20 dB.
5.4 LED INDICATION (ATTENUATION)
5.4
5.5 5.6
The LED chain shows LIVE the current strength of the attenuation in the range of 0 dB (no attenuation, green LED lights) up to -20 dB (all LED´s light red).
5.5 FREQUENCY (start frequency) In the „DE-ESS BAND“ SPLIT mode the lower start frequency has to be adjusted. Referring to this, with potentiometers No. 5.5 you adjust the most suitable frequency, the attenuation of the sibilants by the DeEser is done above the set start frequency. IMPORTANT: In the mode „FULL“ the potentiometer „FREQUENCY“ has no function.
5.6 DeEsser AIR mode By pressing the button „AIR“ „modes AIR“ is activated and the green control LED lights up. Modes AIR has the effect that the frequency band above the 12 kHz is not affected by the DeEsser. To reach a better sound result above the 12 kHz frequencies, it is recommended always to work with active DeEsser and additional function „AIR“. “Copyright 2015, Phoenix Professional Audio GmbH, www.phoenix-pa.com“ Phoenix logo is registered at the German Patent- and Trademark office (TM) All brands are property of their respective owners.

Explanation of the function: The signal of the input 1 is removed from the group „INPUT 1“ by (programmer 1) and by (programmer 3) not forwarded to the group „INPUT 2“. The digital switching matrix located in the amplifier with the possibility for programming of the switching functions for preset 1 and preset 2 has no effect. Thus the signal is muted. No signal output to the internal amplifiers and outputs 1 to 4 is the consequence. The function allows the blockage of the inputs by the user of the system against an unauthorized use of the inputs.

1.- Expander justification 2.- ON/OFF switch 3.- Compressor justification
1.- EXPANDER FUNCTION: An audio expander takes action into the dynamic of an audio signal and opposite to the audio compressor it effects, that the signal which is compressed at the beginning of a transmission line is accordingly extended in its dynamic again. 2.- ON/OFF switch With the input channel switch „ON/OFF“ the compressor expander shift can be activated or switched to bypass. 3.- COMPRESSOR FUNCTION: An audio compressor belongs according to its type to the control amplifiers. It takes action to the dynamic of an audio signal and compresses it. The dynamic is the level difference between the loudest and the quitest point of an audio signal. The microphone signal (speech) is compressed, to „SMOOTH“ the complete dynamic course and therefore to make quiet passages more comprehensible (because louder), without making loud passages act too loud or unpleasant.
Useful information: The compressor system is most suitable for microphone signal decrease of the different lectors, by the signal compression strong, powerful voices are equalized with voices which show low energy.

SOFTWARE RANGE „NOISE GATE“ „Threshold“ The Noise Gate cuts signals under a determined, definable (-90 dB to -24 dB) level. Signals above this level, however, are passed through unprocessed. A typical use is the suppression of noise with low level. Thereby the controllable limit level (threshold setting) is adjusted directly above the interference level. Possibly existing noise is here suppressed, as soon as the master volume of the input signal falls below the threshold setting. If the master volume is above the TH-setting, indeed also the interferences are passed through, but covered by stronger wanted signals.

PROGRAMMING WITH FIRM-SOFTWARE EASY-MANAGER V2.0 SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING „LIMITER 1“ „Threshold“- „ATTACK TIME“ In the menu LIMITER 1 you determine by threshold setting (-30 dB to +6 dB) the changeover level, above which the effect of the limiter 1 starts. By level raise you let the limiter start later. In the menu LIMITER 1 you determine by ATTACK TIME the reaction speed of the internal shift to the input signal. SLOW - longer ATTACK time MIDDLE - middle ATTACK time FAST - fast ATTACK time. The longer the ATTACK time (SLOW position) is selected, the later the limiter effect starts. With longer ATTACK times the limiter more affects the average signal level and no more to fast and high peak levels. This causes a softer limiter effect and keeps the dynamic of the signal widely, however, cannot avoid temporary overrides due to fast signal peaks. Useful information: Longer attack times with percussive signals let the dynamic tone inset „PICK“ pass, without regulating the level down. A „KICK DRUM“ keeps with longer attack times also its „PUNCH“. Also with RECORDING resp. final mixing a little bit longer attack times will be preferred. To protect speakers from too high peak levels in PA-applications, however, short attack times are recommendable (FAST-setting). IMPORTANT: The LIMITER 2 can analogue be programmed like LIMITER 1 (LIMITER 2 for input group DSP IN2, inputs MAINSUM 2 group).

TIP: A minimum signal delay of f.i. 2 ms has a positive effect to feedback shortage. A signal delay allows a correct sound by delaying the acoustic signals in a way that also with speakers or amplification systems located far from each other no echo interferences happen. Our digital audio signal delay is constructed in studio quality circuitry-wise and uses widely the computionally process of the digitalized signal. It offers a very precise control of the delay times via very small quantizations of the signal delay. Useful information: Please select the favoured „PRESET“. Two PRESET configurations can be carried out for all programming processes.

A typical use is the suppression of noise with low level. Thus the controllable threshold level (threshold setting) is adjusted directly above the noise level. Possibly existing noise is hereby suppressed, as soon as the master volume of the input signal falls below the threshold setting. If the master volume is above the TH-setting, indeed also the interferences are passed through, but covered by stronger wanted signals.

PROGRAMMING LIMITER 1 „Threshold“ - „ATTACK TIME“ In the menu LIMITER 1 by threshold setting (-30 dB to +6 dB) you determine the transition level, above which the effect of the limiter 1 starts. By level raising you let the limiter start later. In the menu LIMITER 1 by ATTACK TIME you determine the reaction speed of the internal shift to the input signal. SLOW - longer ATTACK time MIDDLE - middle ATTACK time FAST - fast ATTACK time. The longer the ATTACK time (SLOW position) is selected, the later the limiter effect starts. With longer ATTACK times the limiter more affects the average signal level and no more to fast and high peak levels. This causes a softer limiter effect and keeps the dynamic of the signal widely, however, cannot avoid temporary overrides due to fast signal peaks. Useful information: Longer attack times with percussive signals let the dynamic tone entry „PICK“ pass, without regulating the level down. A „KICK DRUM“ keeps with longer attack times also its „PUNCH“. Also with RECORDING resp. final mixing a little bit longer attack times will be preferred. To protect speakers from too high peak levels in PA-applications, however, short attack times are recommendable (FAST-setting). IMPORTANT: LIMITER 2 can analogue be programmed like LIMITER 1 (LIMITER 2 for input group DSP IN 2, [MAINSUM 2].

Instruction manual ROOM EQUALIZATION
Thank you very much for deciding for the Automatic POWER- VOICE PV-DSP-4ACD.9.4.1 of Phoenix Professional Audio GmbH. To be able to use it correctly and to use all technical possibilities which offers the automatic mixing amplifier PV-DSP-4ACD.9.4.1., you have to carry out a room adaption resp. room equalization after the installation. To realize a room measurement, you need a measuring device. Minimum is here the NiniLink (Acoustilyzer) of Neutrik or a professional measuring software system. For a practical measurement the measuring microphone has to be positioned exactly at the place where later the audience will be located. By recording of „PINK NOISE“ to the Power Voice amplifier you measure with the measuring microphone the amplitude frequency response course.
Nr.1
If the calculated frequency response does not have the intended course, with room adaption filters (EQ) a correction by raising and driving of the frequency spectrum is carried out in determined areas.
ist Wert
Sol Wert
Repeat the measuring- and correction process until a favoured „linearity“ is generated (see drawing No. 2).
Nr.2
For reverberant rooms it is senseful to concentrate additionally to the equalization of low frequencies of up to 20 - 500 Hz. In this frequency range there is the biggest reverberation effect. It has shown that it´s senseful to be careful with the equalization. Here always the efficiency of the speaker and the amplifier should be considered.

Instruction manual ROOM EQUALIZATION
Equalization to suppress positive feedback
Microphone
Speaker
Pre-amplifier
Power amplifier
The positive feedback between microphone and speaker produces the so-called feedback, which always starts at the frequency where the transmission curve shows the strongest maximum. This can be attenuated by the automatic feedback limiter which is integrated in the MIXER like follows: At first you should reduce the parasitic frequency with the parametric EQ for a favoured value (dB) narrowband (OCT.). Then produce a feedback by raising the microphone sensitivity. Measure the occuring feedback frequency again and correct it with the parametric EQ.
The green curve shows the recommended reproduction curve for speech amplification systems. The automatic mixing amplifier PV-DSP-4ACD.9.4.1 (POWER VOICE) serie has 10 parametric input EQs and each output 5-point parametric EQ. Thus even acoustically difficult rooms can be equalized very well and the microphone sensitivity can be raised without parasitic feedback.
