2. സജ്ജീകരണം

Proper setup of the dbx AFS2 is crucial for optimal performance. Follow these steps to integrate the processor into your audio system.

2.1 അൺപാക്കിംഗും പരിശോധനയും

Carefully remove the AFS2 unit from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage that may have occurred during shipping. Ensure all components listed in the packing material are present.

2.2 ഫ്രണ്ട് പാനൽ ഓവർview

The front panel provides access to all operational controls and visual feedback. It includes the main LCD display for menu navigation, input signal meters for monitoring audio levels, a rotary encoder for parameter adjustment, and dedicated buttons for the Wizard function and channel bypass. The filter section displays active feedback filters via LED indicators.

2.3 പിൻ പാനൽ കണക്ഷനുകൾ

The rear panel houses all audio input and output connections, as well as the power inlet and a USB port for firmware updates. Each channel (Channel 1 and Channel 2) features balanced XLR and 1/4-inch TRS input and output jacks. A switch for selecting +4 dBu or -10 dBV operating level is also present for each channel.

ഈ വിശദമായ view of a single channel's connections illustrates the flexibility of the AFS2. Ensure that the input and output levels (+4 dBu or -10 dBV) are correctly matched to the connected equipment to prevent signal clipping or excessive noise.

2.4 ഓഡിയോ കണക്ഷനുകൾ

1. പവർ ഓഫ്: Before making any connections, ensure all audio equipment, including the AFS2, is powered off.
2. ഇൻപുട്ട് കണക്ഷൻ: Connect the output of your mixer or pre-amplifier to the INPUTs of the AFS2 using either XLR or 1/4-inch TRS cables.
3. ഔട്ട്പുട്ട് കണക്ഷൻ: Connect the OUTPUTs of the AFS2 to the inputs of your power amplifier or powered speakers using either XLR or 1/4-inch TRS cables.
4. Level Matching: Set the +4 dBu / -10 dBV switch on the rear panel to match the nominal operating level of your connected equipment. For most professional gear, +4 dBu is appropriate.
5. പവർ കണക്ഷൻ: Connect the supplied AC power cord to the AFS2's power inlet and then to a suitable AC power outlet.

3. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

The AFS2 is designed for straightforward operation, especially with its integrated Wizard function.

3.1 പവറിംഗ് ഓണും പ്രാരംഭ ബൂട്ടും

After all connections are made, power on your audio system, with the AFS2 being one of the last devices to power on. The unit will display a boot-up sequence on the LCD screen.

3.2 Using the Wizard Function

The Wizard function simplifies the initial setup and calibration of the AFS2. Press the illuminated വിസാർഡ് button on the front panel to activate it. The LCD display will guide you through a series of steps to analyze your audio environment and automatically set up the feedback suppression parameters. This process typically involves generating test tones and listening for feedback to identify problematic frequencies.

Follow the on-screen prompts provided by the Wizard. It will help you configure settings such as the number of filters, filter type (fixed or live), and overall system gain. The Wizard is particularly useful for new installations or when setting up in a new venue.

3.3 Manual Operation and Filter Control

Beyond the Wizard, the AFS2 allows for manual adjustment of parameters. Use the large rotary encoder and the മെനു/ബാക്ക് ഒപ്പം തിരഞ്ഞെടുക്കുക buttons to navigate through the LCD menus. You can manually adjust filter settings, recall presets, and monitor system performance.

• ഫിൽട്ടർ തരങ്ങൾ: The AFS2 offers various filter types, including "Speech" and "Music" modes, with low, medium, and high Q settings. Select the appropriate type based on your audio source.
• Filter Metering: The 24 LED indicators per channel visually represent the active feedback filters. When a filter is engaged, its corresponding LED will illuminate, indicating that a specific frequency is being attenuated to prevent feedback.
• ബൈപാസ് പ്രവർത്തനം: Each channel has a dedicated ബൈപാസ് button. Pressing this button will temporarily disable the feedback suppression for that channel, allowing for A/B comparison or troubleshooting.

3.4 Input Signal Monitoring

The input signal meters (LEDs) on the front panel provide real-time visual feedback of the audio input level for each channel. Aim for signal levels that illuminate the green and yellow LEDs consistently, avoiding the red "CLIP" LED, which indicates signal overload and potential distortion.

4. പരിപാലനം

The dbx AFS2 is designed for reliable operation with minimal maintenance. Adhering to these guidelines will help ensure its longevity and performance.

• വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the unit. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
• വെൻ്റിലേഷൻ: Ensure that the ventilation slots on the unit are not obstructed. Adequate airflow is essential to prevent overheating.
• പരിസ്ഥിതി വ്യവസ്ഥകൾ: Operate the AFS2 in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight, excessive heat sources, and moisture. Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations.
• ഫേംവെയർ അപ്‌ഡേറ്റുകൾ: Periodically check the dbx official website for any available firmware updates. Updates can improve performance, add features, or resolve known issues. The USB port on the rear panel is used for this purpose.

5. പ്രശ്‌നപരിഹാരം

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with the dbx AFS2.

5.1 ഓഡിയോ ഔട്ട്പുട്ട് ഇല്ല

• കണക്ഷനുകൾ പരിശോധിക്കുക: Verify that all audio cables (inputs and outputs) are securely connected to the correct jacks on the AFS2 and other equipment.
• Bypass Status: Ensure that the channel's BYPASS button is not engaged, which would disable processing.
• ശക്തി: Confirm the AFS2 is powered on and receiving power.
• ലെവൽ ക്രമീകരണങ്ങൾ: Check the +4 dBu / -10 dBV switch on the rear panel to ensure it matches the nominal operating level of your connected equipment.

5.2 Persistent Feedback

• Run Wizard Again: If feedback persists, re-run the Wizard function to recalibrate the system to the current acoustic environment.
• എസ് നേടുകtaging: ശരിയായ ലാഭം ഉറപ്പാക്കുകtaging throughout your audio chain. Excessive gain before the AFS2 can overwhelm its feedback suppression capabilities.
• മൈക്രോഫോൺ പ്ലേസ്മെൻ്റ്: Adjust microphone placement to minimize proximity to speakers and monitors.
• Filter Count: Verify that enough filters are allocated and active for the problematic frequencies. The AFS2 can utilize up to 24 filters per channel.

5.3 Display Issues or Unit Unresponsive

• പവർ സൈക്കിൾ: Turn off the unit, wait a few seconds, and then power it back on.
• ഫേംവെയർ: Ensure the unit has the latest firmware. Refer to the dbx website for instructions on updating firmware via the USB port.
