Un bon manuel d’utilisation

Les règles imposent au revendeur l'obligation de fournir à l'acheteur, avec des marchandises, le manuel d’utilisation Solid State Logic X-EQ. Le manque du manuel d’utilisation ou les informations incorrectes fournies au consommateur sont à la base d'une plainte pour non-conformité du dispositif avec le contrat. Conformément à la loi, l’inclusion du manuel d’utilisation sous une forme autre que le papier est autorisée, ce qui est souvent utilisé récemment, en incluant la forme graphique ou électronique du manuel Solid State Logic X-EQ ou les vidéos d'instruction pour les utilisateurs. La condition est son caractère lisible et compréhensible.

Qu'est ce que le manuel d’utilisation?

Le mot vient du latin "Instructio", à savoir organiser. Ainsi, le manuel d’utilisation Solid State Logic X-EQ décrit les étapes de la procédure. Le but du manuel d’utilisation est d’instruire, de faciliter le démarrage, l'utilisation de l'équipement ou l'exécution des actions spécifiques. Le manuel d’utilisation est une collection d'informations sur l'objet/service, une indice.

Malheureusement, peu d'utilisateurs prennent le temps de lire le manuel d’utilisation, et un bon manuel permet non seulement d’apprendre à connaître un certain nombre de fonctionnalités supplémentaires du dispositif acheté, mais aussi éviter la majorité des défaillances.

Donc, ce qui devrait contenir le manuel parfait?

Tout d'abord, le manuel d’utilisation Solid State Logic X-EQ devrait contenir:
- informations sur les caractéristiques techniques du dispositif Solid State Logic X-EQ
- nom du fabricant et année de fabrication Solid State Logic X-EQ
- instructions d'utilisation, de réglage et d’entretien de l'équipement Solid State Logic X-EQ
- signes de sécurité et attestations confirmant la conformité avec les normes pertinentes

Pourquoi nous ne lisons pas les manuels d’utilisation?

Habituellement, cela est dû au manque de temps et de certitude quant à la fonctionnalité spécifique de l'équipement acheté. Malheureusement, la connexion et le démarrage Solid State Logic X-EQ ne suffisent pas. Le manuel d’utilisation contient un certain nombre de lignes directrices concernant les fonctionnalités spécifiques, la sécurité, les méthodes d'entretien (même les moyens qui doivent être utilisés), les défauts possibles Solid State Logic X-EQ et les moyens de résoudre des problèmes communs lors de l'utilisation. Enfin, le manuel contient les coordonnées du service Solid State Logic en l'absence de l'efficacité des solutions proposées. Actuellement, les manuels d’utilisation sous la forme d'animations intéressantes et de vidéos pédagogiques qui sont meilleurs que la brochure, sont très populaires. Ce type de manuel permet à l'utilisateur de voir toute la vidéo d'instruction sans sauter les spécifications et les descriptions techniques compliquées Solid State Logic X-EQ, comme c’est le cas pour la version papier.

Pourquoi lire le manuel d’utilisation?

Tout d'abord, il contient la réponse sur la structure, les possibilités du dispositif Solid State Logic X-EQ, l'utilisation de divers accessoires et une gamme d'informations pour profiter pleinement de toutes les fonctionnalités et commodités.

Après un achat réussi de l’équipement/dispositif, prenez un moment pour vous familiariser avec toutes les parties du manuel d'utilisation Solid State Logic X-EQ. À l'heure actuelle, ils sont soigneusement préparés et traduits pour qu'ils soient non seulement compréhensibles pour les utilisateurs, mais pour qu’ils remplissent leur fonction de base de l'information et d’aide.

    A time limited trial version of X-EQ will be installed during the Duend e V2.2 softw are update. This allow s X-EQ to be run in evalua tion mode, whic h means the plug-in can be used with full functionality until a certain number of samples of audio have been processed. At 48kHz this gives approximately 10 hours of continuous use for either stereo [...]

    6 4.1 An Audio Engineer ’ s Best Friend The equaliser is the oldest and the most popular sound processing tool. From the earliest days, its main function has been to correct or enhance sound by boosting or cutting certai n frequency ranges . Engineers have develo ped countles s equalisers for over 50 years and some of them became legendary and we[...]

For controlled generation of distortions we recommend using enhancers or any other specialised processors with proper built-in anti- aliasing technology . 4.4 Non- Linear Phase EQ Phase shift in equipment is probably one of the most misunderstood topics in audio. Phase shifts often get blamed for anyth ing [...]

    12 Peak Meter and Clip Indicator The wide meter bar to the left is a responsive peak meter which allows you to observe the exact input le vel at any point in time. A red clip light at the top of the meters indicates that three consecutive samples are at maximum which is taken to mean that the input is higher than 0dB FS and is therefore clipping. I[...]

Q in both definitions correct only for +6dB boos[...]

    Proportional 1 Proportional equalisers are recognised as being more ‘musical’ than Constant Q. Th e bells are wider be low +6dB and narrower above +6dB (or –6dB for cut). Proportional 2 Like Proportional 1 but with larger changes below and above +6dB peak (or –6dB for cut). P –3dB Proportional 3 Like Proportional 1 but with extra widened [...]

    18 6.3 Cut Filters Critical “Critical Damped” filters simulate a chain of passive analogue RC (for high-cut) and CR (for low-cut) stages fixing a behaviour similar to a series of RC elements in vintage analogue equipment. Bessel Linear Phase behaviour leads to no overshoot or ringing resulting from a sudden transition between signal levels. The[...]

    20 7.1 Serial Mode In serial (default) filter mode, the input signal is initially amplified or attenuated using the input gain slider and then passed to the input meter . It then enters the serial filter chain, has processing applied, and is then passed to the output stage, again with level control and metering. The Band Control section and Interac[...]

    As said earlier , the equaliser is probably the oldest and the most popular sound processing tool. Parametric EQ (PEQ) in particular offers maximal fl exibility due to direct access to all relevant filter parameters . Properly used, the PEQ is a very powerful tool and the best friend of every sound engineer in the battle for perfect sound but if mi[...]
