A good user manual
The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Klark Teknik DN360, along with an item. The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract. In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used. A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.
What is an instruction?
The term originates from the Latin word „instructio”, which means organizing. Therefore, in an instruction of Klark Teknik DN360 one could find a process description. An instruction's purpose is to teach, to ease the start-up and an item's use or performance of certain activities. An instruction is a compilation of information about an item/a service, it is a clue.
Unfortunately, only a few customers devote their time to read an instruction of Klark Teknik DN360. A good user manual introduces us to a number of additional functionalities of the purchased item, and also helps us to avoid the formation of most of the defects.
What should a perfect user manual contain?
First and foremost, an user manual of Klark Teknik DN360 should contain:
- informations concerning technical data of Klark Teknik DN360
- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the Klark Teknik DN360 item
- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the Klark Teknik DN360 item
- safety signs and mark certificates which confirm compatibility with appropriate standards
Why don't we read the manuals?
Usually it results from the lack of time and certainty about functionalities of purchased items. Unfortunately, networking and start-up of Klark Teknik DN360 alone are not enough. An instruction contains a number of clues concerning respective functionalities, safety rules, maintenance methods (what means should be used), eventual defects of Klark Teknik DN360, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the Klark Teknik service. Lately animated manuals and instructional videos are quite popular among customers. These kinds of user manuals are effective; they assure that a customer will familiarize himself with the whole material, and won't skip complicated, technical information of Klark Teknik DN360.
Why one should read the manuals?
It is mostly in the manuals where we will find the details concerning construction and possibility of the Klark Teknik DN360 item, and its use of respective accessory, as well as information concerning all the functions and facilities.
After a successful purchase of an item one should find a moment and get to know with every part of an instruction. Currently the manuals are carefully prearranged and translated, so they could be fully understood by its users. The manuals will serve as an informational aid.

Intr oduction The graphic equaliser is a vital component in any audio system. The entire signal passes through it and so any limitations imposed by the equaliser will compromise the performance of the whole system. For example, an indifferently designed equaliser may introduce severe phase distortion, noise and other anomalies related to centre fre[...]

DN360 Graphic Equaliser The Klark T eknik DN360 is a dual channel, 30 band equaliser of fering 12dB of cut or boost in 1/3 octave steps between the frequencies of 25Hz and 20 kHz. Filter Shape and Combining Action At the heart of any graphic equaliser is the bank of filters used to shape the signal response, and Klark T eknik utilise a proprietary [...]

The nature, shape and way in which individual equaliser filters combine, has a profound effect on the control provided by the equaliser and on the resulting quality of sound. The majority of applications within the sound reinforcement, broadcast and recording fields, require a smooth and continuous equalisation response curve in order to correctly [...]

Front Panel Functions The power switch is a two pole type, isolating both the live and neutral conductors. When the power is on, a red status LED lights. The input level control allows the system gain to be up to+6dB when in its fully clockwise position, and offers full attenuation in its anti-clockwise position. The scale switch bypass selects max[...]

The Use of Graphic Equalisers Equalisers may be used for corrective or creative purposes and the Klark T eknik DN360 is applicable in both live sound and studio applications. For studio use, a pair of 1/3 octave equalisers might typically be used to compensate for deficiencies in the control room acoustics and in this instance, the precision allowe[...]

In live sound applications, graphic equalisation is almost always applied separately to the stage monitor of foldback system to reduce the level of those frequencies that would otherwise cause feedback problems. These problems came about due to peaks in the frequency response curves of the monitor speaker systems, monitor positioning, and sound ref[...]

Equalising a Sound System When equalising a sound system you should always remember just what it is you are trying to achieve. T wo fundamental reasons for equalization are:- 1. T o increase the potential gain or power output of the system before feedback. 2. T o improve the naturalness or intelligibility of the sound system. In a space with poor a[...]

A good idea is to rotate the measuring microphone in a wide arc or circle round the measuring position and to see if any strong interactions occur causing large deviations in response. If necessary , move to another position. Also ensure that the ambient noise level is at least 6dB (preferably 10dB) below the signal level you are using. Having set [...]

Inserting the Equaliser in the Signal Chain The exact point of insertion of an equaliser into the signal chain will very much depend on the task in hand e.g. mixer channel / line input, group insert point, group output, auxiliary send or between another signal processing device and the mixer or power amplifier , etc. when using delayed out signals [...]
