The HK Audio DSM 2060 digital speaker manage-
ment system represent the current state-of-the-
art. Taking advantages of the latest advances in
analogue to digital conversion and digital signal
processing technologies the units achieve perfor-
mance levels that have only recently been made
possible.

1 Quick Reference

Guide

Display
The LCD displays preset and parameter inform-
ation. The default screen is shown after start up
and displays the number and name of the current
preset on the lower line of text. When navigating
around the adjustable parameters, other
information is shown.

Channel Select Buttons
The currently selected input or output channel is
shown in the top left corner of the display.
Pressing the channel select buttons scrolls
through the available inputs and outputs. If
operating stereo linked the channel pair is shown.
For example ‘CH A+B’ means both input A and B
parameters.

Edit Select Buttons
The name of the edit parameter page is displayed
in the bottom left portion of the LCD. Pressing
the edit select buttons moves through the
available parameter pages for the current input or
output.

Parameter Knobs
Up to three parameters (A, B, C) are shown on
the display. The parameter name is shown with
its’ current value below. Where appropriate, para-
meters are grouped according to function. For
example the parametric equalisation page shows
centre frequency, width and gain. Turning a para-
meter knob clockwise will increase the value of a
parameter, turning anti-clockwise will decrease it.
Turning a knob rapidly will cause the action to
‘accelerate’, so the value changes more rapidly.

Mute Buttons
The LEDs next to the mute buttons indicate their
current status. Pressing a mute button toggles
between the mute on and off.

Store Button
The unit has 45 preset locations. To store a preset
in a location, press the store button and use the
parameter knobs to select the preset location and
name the preset. Pressing the store button again
completes the task. Pressing any button other
than store during the process cancels the
procedure.

Recall Button
To recall a preset, press the recall button and use
parameter knob A to select the required preset.
Pressing the recall button again will activate the
preset. You will then be asked to confirm by pres-
sing recall once more. As with the store function,
pressing any button other will cancel the process.

Input Signal Indicators
The signal present LEDs operate at approximately
–40 dBu, giving a useful indication of even
relatively low input signal levels. The yellow LEDs
are intended to show nominal operating level and
can also be useful for setting system gain
structure. Clip LEDs warn the user of input over-
load and operate at +19 dBu.

Preset Store and Recall
These controls provide access to the 45 presets
stored within the device. Pressing the store
button allows the user to name a preset and
choose which memory location it will be held in.
Pressing store button again completes the
process. The Recall function operates in a similar
way, pressing the recall button allows the user to
select which preset they require, pressing the
button for a second time, then confirming, recalls
the new DSP settings.
Note that presets cannot be stored or recalled
when Secure mode is activated.

Channel Select Buttons
The currently selected channel is displayed on the
top left hand corner of the LCD. Pressing the
channel buttons scrolls through the available
input and output channels and finally through the
utility functions and back to the default screen. If
operating a stereo linked preset, the channel
name will indicate the channel pairing. For
example ‘A+B’ means both input A and B para-
meters. The name of the output will be shown
briefly at the top of the display when stepping
onto an output.

Edit Select Buttons
The currently selected edit parameter page is
displayed on the bottom left corner of the LCD.
Pressing the edit select buttons moves through
the available parameters for the current input or
output.

Text Display
Preset, channel, parameter and status
information is shown on the 2x 24-character text
display. In most screens the currently selected
channel is displayed on the upper line and the
edit parameter on the lower line. To simplify the
display and enhance security, some parameters or
parameter pages are omitted when not relevant.

Parameter Knobs A, B, C
Three velocity sensitive parameter knobs are used
to adjust parameters shown on the display. Up to
three parameters at a time are displayed on the
screen. The parameter name is shown above the
parameter value in each of the three screen
sections. The parameter knobs have a fixed
association with the screen sections; the right-
most parameter knob adjusts the rightmost
parameter and so on.

Output Signal / Limiter Indication
Two LEDs are provided for each output channel.
These show the signal level relative to the limiter
threshold. The green LED will light when the
signal is 6dB below the threshold and the red
warning LED will light when the limiter threshold
is reached.

Mute Buttons and Status LEDs
Each output has a mute button and associated
mute status LED. Pressing the button toggles the
mute on and off.
Note that the mute buttons do not function when
the Secure mode is activated.
