- 1 - The ART DPS DI/O Preamp System TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction ........................................................................................... 2 Installation ....................................................................
- 2 - INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing an ART DPS (DI/O Preamp System ) - and congratulations: You now own one of the most versatile preamplifiers available.
- 3 - The D/O Preamp System also features ART Analog to Digital conversion system and ART Tube Technology similar to that of the ART D/IO . This ensures that when you are going from the analog preamplification to digital, your signal will be as warm and musical as you decide it to be.
- 4 - INSTALLATION The DPS may be used in a wide variety of applications and environments. In a rack - mountable, all - steel enclosure, the unit is designed for continuous professional use.
- 5 - CONTROLS & INDICATORS INPUT CONTROL The Input Control sets the amount of input gain of the DPS . Turn the control clockwise to increase gain and counterclockwise to decrease gain. You may control two ranges of gain with this control, +20 to +68dB and +0 to +48dB.
- 6 - Dynamic microphones should not be affected or damaged if they are plugged into a line where Phantom power is present. However, if the mic doesn't need it, do not use it. Some things are best left untested! PHASE REVERSE SWITC H The Phase Reverse switch is provided to rev erse the phase of the signal.
- 7 - We wanted to take the guessing out of the equation – and that is how we developed V3™. It’s simple, easy and it works really well. For example, if you are recording an acoustic guitar, V3™ has a preset that has been optimized for that instrument.
- 8 - DIGITAL LEVEL The digital level knobs control the input gain to the digital converters of the DPS™. The purpose of the digital level control is to get t he loudest possible signal into the converters before clipping starts to occur. The front mounted clip lights easily notify the user before digital clipping occurs.
- 9 - Typically, the higher the sample rate, the more accurate the digital conversion is - but frequently, one is limited by the digital recording system being used. Make sure that, when selecting your sampling rate, the digital recording system you are working with is operating at the same rate.
- 10 - C ONNECTIONS It is easy to interface the unit with a wide variety of equipment. The front panel houses 2 dual - purpose ¼” / XLR input jacks, and the rear houses balanced XLR ins and outs as well as unbalanced ¼” outs. Standard ¼” and XLR inputs and outputs make patching simple.
- 11 - XLR OU TPUT JACKS (REAR) The XLR Output jacks of the DPS are active balanced. You may use them in an unbalanced configuration without harm to the output circuitry. The XLR outputs can provide a hefty signal level (+28dBu) at a low impedance, so make sure that y ou do not overdrive equipment with sensitive inputs.
- 12 - Due to the wide bandwidth, A R T recommends the use of high quality, low loss, fully shielde d cabling for the S/PDIF Coax connection. Note that the S/PDIF out must act as a master.
- 13 - ¼ ” INSERTS (REAR) The DPS has 2 channel inserts that are routed just before the digital converters. The 2 female TRS jacks can be used to send the DPS’ analog signal to an external process ing device, and then return the effected signal to the digital converters.
- 14 - OPERATION The DPS is one of the most versatile preamplification systems available. Through use of the V3 technology, numerous instruments can be processed by the DPS . Simply mic the instrument (if acoustic), amp , speaker, or plug the instrument directly in to take full advantage of V3™ technology.
- 15 - Using V3 : The V3 presets have been voiced with the intent of being a starting point for the recording process. The key to good recordings is to conside r all the variables you will encounter during the process.
- 16 - WARRANTY INFORMATION Limited Warranty Applied Research and Technology will provide warranty and service for this unit in accordance with the following warrants: Applied Research and Technology,.
- 17 - SERVICE The following informatio n is provided in the unlikely event that your unit requires service. 1) Be sure that the unit is the cause of the problem. Check to make sure the unit has the proper power supplied, all cables are connected correctly, and the cables themselves are in work ing condition.
- 18 - Fill in the following information for your reference: Date of purchase ___________________ Purchased from ___________________ Serial number ___________________.
- 19 - DPS SPECIFICATIONS Dimensions 1.75”H x 19”W x 6.5”D Weight 5.5 lbs. Analog Input Connections Front: XLR (balanced) Rear: Switchable XLR (bal.

Un punto importante, dopo l’acquisto del dispositivo (o anche prima di acquisto) è quello di leggere il manuale. Dobbiamo farlo per diversi motivi semplici:
Se non hai ancora comprato il Art DPS è un buon momento per familiarizzare con i dati di base del prodotto. Prime consultare le pagine iniziali del manuale d’uso, che si trova al di sopra. Dovresti trovare lì i dati tecnici più importanti del Art DPS - in questo modo è possibile verificare se l’apparecchio soddisfa le tue esigenze. Esplorando le pagine segenti del manuali d’uso Art DPS imparerai tutte le caratteristiche del prodotto e le informazioni sul suo funzionamento. Le informazioni sul Art DPS ti aiuteranno sicuramente a prendere una decisione relativa all’acquisto.
In una situazione in cui hai già il Art DPS, ma non hai ancora letto il manuale d’uso, dovresti farlo per le ragioni sopra descritte. Saprai quindi se hai correttamente usato le funzioni disponibili, e se hai commesso errori che possono ridurre la durata di vita del Art DPS.
Tuttavia, uno dei ruoli più importanti per l’utente svolti dal manuale d’uso è quello di aiutare a risolvere i problemi con il Art DPS. Quasi sempre, ci troverai Troubleshooting, cioè i guasti più frequenti e malfunzionamenti del dispositivo Art DPS insieme con le istruzioni su come risolverli. Anche se non si riesci a risolvere il problema, il manuale d’uso ti mostrerà il percorso di ulteriori procedimenti – il contatto con il centro servizio clienti o il servizio più vicino.
