Read themanualCaution: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not remove the cover (or back). No user serviceable parts inside; referservicing to qualified personnel.Warning: To reduce the risk of fire electrical shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.DETAILED SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:All the safety and operation instructions should be read before the appliance is operated.Retain instructions:The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.Heed warnings:All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.Follow instructions:All operation and user instructions should be followed.Water and moisture:The appliance should not be used near water (e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, ornear a swimming pool etc..)Ventilation:The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its prosper ventilation. For example, theappliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings, or placed in abuilt-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.Heat:The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances(including amplifiers) that produce heat.Power source:The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked onthe appliance.Grounding or polarization:Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization means of an appliance is not defeated.Power-Cord Protection:Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or againstthem, paying particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from theappliance.Cleaning:The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.Non-use Periods:The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.Object and liquid Entry:Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.Damage Requiring Service:The appliance should be serviced by qualified service personnel when: -The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or -objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance; or -the appliance has been exposed to rain; or -The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or -This appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.Servicing: The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that is described in the Operating instructions. All otherservicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.Static processor for stage monitors 1

INTRODUCTIONThe SPR is a processor designed to operate in conjunction with the DS8, DS21S, DS15, and DS15RMicro Series, MC1 & MC2 optimizing equalization, filtering, protection and distribution of signals.Each channel features Vocal/Music switch making it possible to select the appropriate setting and thesubsonic protections best adapted to the type of signal.The position “Vocal” emphasize frequencies in the band “media” necessary. intelligibility and limit theresponse to the low frequencies.The “Music” position makes it possible to obtain a linear frequency response on the full bandwidth. Itcould be in particular selected when the speakers are in “side fill” configuration or for the stagemonitor used for instruments reproduction or “playback” application.A reverse phase switch and (“mute”) supplement each section. The balanced in puts and out puts onconnector XLR in conjunction with a ground loop cancellation circuit, make it possible to interfacequickly and without problem the SPR with any professional installation.Static processor for stage monitors 3

DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLSFRONT PANELEach channel comprises 3 keys :1) Vocal/music : This key, switches on a corrector increasing the harmonics of the voice and certaininstruments such as acoustic guitar, flute, saxophone, trumpet, etc. When this key is switched off, oneswitched on an EQ extending frequency response, while providing a low frequency protection.2) Phase (rev / normal) : This key switched on a polarity reverse intended to correct possible errors ofwiring or acoustic oppositions of phase.3) ON/OFF : This key makes it possible to cut or not the signal.4) Power : This LED indicates if power is on or off.The SPR can be left continuously under operation, there is no switch sector.REAR PANELInputs and outputs of the SPR are electronically balanced, the connectors are of type XLR 3 pins.The SPR uses a hum loop eliminator.If any hum or buzz occurs, it is not caused by a ground loop.The mains receptacle is at the EEC standard with the center prong connected to the ground.For obvious safety reasons it should always connected.The mains fuse must be replaced only with the same type and value.230 Vac 0.1 A TempStatic processor for stage monitors 5
