DL351 Modular I/O Operator Manual 21 Chapter 6: Operation This chapter explains the default screen. There are no operating procedures associated with the DL351 Modular I/O, as it is operated solely from the PRO6 Control Centre. Refer to PRO6 Control Centre operator manual (part number DOC02-DL3) for more details. Default screen The default screen appears after the unit has been switched on and has powered up. The following diagram shows a typical default display. 1 3 1 2 Company name and model of unit. Unit ID number. 2 3 Description of unit. Checking the CBMA/software versions You can check the CBMA and host software versions of the DL351 Modular I/O during normal operation. To do this, see "To view the CBMA version number" on page 18 and "To view the current host software version" on page 18, respectively.

DL452 digital in/out (AES/EBU) module; see "DL452 digital I/O module" on page 31. Details of how to replace a module can be found in Appendix D "Replacing An I/O Module". DL441 analogue input module The DL441 analogue input module provides eight balanced line (or mic) inputs. Its rear panel houses eight input XLRs, each with a check and a 48V LED. The line inputs may be used as simple unity gain inputs to the PRO6, such as insert returns. However, there is also provision for gain adjustment in 5dB steps from -5dB to +40dB. This allows very high signal levels to enter the system and means that the same hardware can be used for mic inputs, if required by the system. When used for microphones the input can also provide 48-volt phantom power. 2 3 1 2 Eight XLR analogue mic/line inputs. 1 3 Green check LED illuminates to show when a channel is selected on a console. [. . . ] In the master bay of the PRO6 Control Centre, move all of the monitor and master channel faders to the minimum position and mute all of the master channels. Power up the PRO6 components, such as the DL351 Modular I/O unit and the DL371 Audio System Engine unit. After the status indicator at the top of each GUI screen has changed to green (as shown right), switch on the speaker sub-system. Switch on the audio source and start playing the audio. [. . . ]
