IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Explanation of graphical symbols
The lightning symbol within a triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltages” within the unit’s chassis that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to humans.
Before using this product, carefully read the applicable items of the following safety instructions.
1. Keep these instructions for future reference. 2. Read these instructions. 3. Heed all warnings. 4. Follow all instructions. 5. WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock:
Do not expose this unit to rain or moisture. Keep water or other liquids away from the unit. Do not place liquid filled containers, for example
beverages, on top of the unit. Do not operate the unit while it is wet or standing in liquid. 6. Always operate the unit with the chassis ground wire connected to the electrical safety earth. Do not defeat the safety purpose of a grounding-type plug. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. 7. Do not use this unit if the power cord is damaged or frayed. Protect the power cord from being walked upon or pinched, particularly at the plugs and the point where it exits from the apparatus. 8. The unit is intended for use in a 19″ rack. Follow the mounting instructions. When a rack on wheels is used, exercise caution when moving the loaded rack to avoid injury from tipping over. 9. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
The exclamation point within a triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and service instructions in the literature accompanying the product.
10. Lay all cables connected to the unit carefully so that they cannot be crushed by vehicles or other equipment and that no one can either step on them or trip over them.
11. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way such as: Power-supply cord or plug is damaged. Liquid has been spilled into the unit. An object has fallen into the unit. The unit has been exposed to rain or moisture. The unit does not operate normally. The unit was dropped or the chassis is damaged. Do not remove top or bottom covers. Removal of the covers will expose hazardous voltages. There are no user serviceable parts inside and removal may void the warranty.
12. Use the mains plug as the disconnecting device and keep it readily accessible. If the mains plug is not readily accessible due to mounting in a 19″ rack, then the mains plug for the entire rack must be readily accessible.
13. An experienced user must always supervise the equipment, especially if inexperienced adults or minors are using the equipment.

DS100M Signal Engine
1.1 Intended use The d&b DS100M Signal Engine is a specialized 3 RU, 19″ rack mount audio processor with MilanTM audio networking as well as MADI audio inputs. In its base configuration, it provides a 64 x 64 level / delay audio matrix. Additional software modules provide dynamic source positioning and emulated acoustics functions.
NOTICE!
The device complies with the electromagnetic compatibility requirements of EN 55032:2019 (product family standard for audio, video, audio-visual and entertainment lighting control apparatus for professional use) for the environment Class B (residential). Acoustic interferences and malfunctions may occur if the unit is operated in the immediate vicinity of high-frequency transmitters (e.g. wireless microphones, mobile phones, etc.). Damage to the device is unlikely, but cannot be excluded.
1.1.1 Software Terms of Use The software modules installed on the device shall only be used to the extent intended/documented. d&b shall not be liable for any damage resulting from any other or non-conforming use. You may not decompile, copy, alter or enhance the software modules installed on the device or their source codes in any form. d&b will investigate any infringement of copyright or intellectual property rights.
1.1.2 Matrix I/O License models Depending on the running (active) license the following matrix inand output (in x out) sizes at the given sampling rates applies: 64 x 24 @ 48 kHz or 96 kHz 64 x 64 @ 48 kHz or 96 kHz 128 x 64 @ 48 kHz or 96 kHz

DS100M Signal Engine
1.1.3 Application The DS100M Signal Engine is a versatile tool for large and complex audio systems that are used to route and distribute a large number of audio channels to many different amplifier channels, break out rooms, loudspeaker zones or positions.
The DS100M completely integrates with the overall d&b system approach which includes loudspeakers, amplifiers, rigging, transport and the DS20 Audio network bridge, which interfaces between MilanTM audio networking and the AES3 inputs of the d&b amplifiers.
d&b audio systems including the DS100M are designed and optimized using the d&b ArrayCalc Simulation software and are controlled using the d&b R1 Remote control software.
The comprehensive input processing provides Gain, EQ, Delay, Mute and Polarity switches enabling the user to combine all types of input signals to create a mix of audio signals from a wide variety of sources. Extended processing capabilities are also provided on every output. The audio matrix with level, mute, and delay controls at every crosspoint is a very flexible tool to either simply distribute audio signals to the intended output or, if the crosspoint delay is enabled, to position audio sources in a distributed loudspeaker setup.
Note: Comprehensive information on the “Media integrated local area network” (MilanTM) is given in the d&b technical information TI 370, which can be downloaded from the related product page at www.dbaudio.com.

4.2 Rack mounting and cooling
Rack mounting The enclosure is designed to fit standard 19″ equipment racks or cabinets.
NOTICE!
When mounting the device into 19″ equipment racks or cabinets, it is strongly recommended that you: Always fix the device at its front AND rear rack ears
using appropriate rack mounting screws and U-washers, as shown in the graphic opposite. Alternatively use shelves fixed to the inner sides of the equipment rack or cabinet.
Cooling Thermal conditions are a vital factor to ensure operational safety of the device. The device is equipped with three internal fans that draw cool air from the front into the housing and channel the warm air towards the back of the device. Please ensure that adequate cool airflow is provided. Do not block or cover the front panel air intake or the vents on
the rear panel. If the device is installed in sealed cabinets (e.g. in fixed
installations), use additional fan modules with filters that can be easily replaced without opening the sealed cabinets. Do not rack up DS100M devices together with other devices producing additional heat with opposing airflow.

5 MilanTM/MADI interfacing
MilanTM/MADI interfacing
The DS100M provides MilanTM audio networking as well as MADI audio inputs within one device. This allows either MilanTM or MADI audio input sources to be processed correspondingly.
The DS100M processing provides a total of 128 possible audio input sources. To these input sources (divided into two blocks 1 – 32 and 33 – 64), you can assign corresponding blocks of 32 input sources to define from what input source (either MilanTM or MADI / Radio button in R1) the signals should originate.
Note: When using MADI input sources, either in combination with MilanTM input sources or pure MADI input sources, you have to apply the necessary clocking externally.
The assignment/mapping is performed in R1.
Example In the screen shot below, MADI input source block 33 – 64 is selected for the DS100M input source block 1 – 32 and MilanTM input source block 1 – 32 is selected for the DS100M input source block 33 – 64.
