Protect the power cord of your BEHRINGER INUKE NU3000DSP from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

Use only attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer for your BEHRINGER INUKE NU3000DSP.

Use only the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus for your BEHRINGER INUKE NU3000DSP. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

Unplug your BEHRINGER INUKE NU3000DSP apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

Servicing of your BEHRINGER INUKE NU3000DSP is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

The BEHRINGER INUKE NU3000DSP apparatus shall be connected to a MAINS socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

Where the MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device for the BEHRINGER INUKE NU3000DSP, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

Power on the BEHRINGER INUKE NU3000DSP amplifier by pressing the POWER button. The startup screen will appear on the LCD display.

Press the PROCESS button on the BEHRINGER INUKE NU3000DSP to move step through DSP screens.

Within each screen on the BEHRINGER INUKE NU3000DSP, push the SELECT encoder knob to toggle between Graphic Mode and Edit Mode.

In Edit Mode on the BEHRINGER INUKE NU3000DSP, turn the SELECT encoder knob to change parameters. Press the UP/DOWN/EXIT buttons to step through values and channels.

On the I/O (Amp Mode) screen of the BEHRINGER INUKE NU3000DSP, choose your signal path: BRIDGE, DUAL (Dual Mono), STEREO, BIAMP1 or BIAMP2.

On the PEQ screen of the BEHRINGER INUKE NU3000DSP, deploy up to 8 different parametric equalizer filters to shape your sound.

On the XOVER screen of the BEHRINGER INUKE NU3000DSP, choose up to 2 cutoff frequency crossover points, and up to 10 different filter curves for each output.

On the DEQ screen of the BEHRINGER INUKE NU3000DSP, you may deploy Dynamic EQ modules (up to 2 per stereo channel) to monitor designated frequency ranges within your signal. You may program the Dynamic EQ filters (band-pass, high-pass, or lo-pass) to boost or cut the designated range of frequencies based on your preferred gain threshold, including programmable ratio (Ratio), attack (Atime), and release (Rtime) parameters.

On the DELAY screens of the BEHRINGER INUKE NU3000DSP, you may compensate for phase cancellation problems in your system by altering signal phase (PHASE: 0° or 180°) and/or delaying the signal output (Delay: 0 to 300 msec) from designated channels to match up with sound traveling over distance (e.g., compensating for sound traveling outward from the stage to sound reinforcement speakers placed out in the audience).

Press the SETUP button on the BEHRINGER INUKE NU3000DSP to save or load presets, lock the panel and set a password, and control the LCD contrast.

To exit to the top-level iNUKE screen on the BEHRINGER INUKE NU3000DSP, press the EXIT button.

On the Limit screen of the BEHRINGER INUKE NU3000DSP, you may implement your own threshold (Thresh[old]), release (Rtime), and hold (Hold) settings using the built-in limiters.

The specifications for the BEHRINGER INUKE NU3000DSP are as follows:

The output power ratings for the BEHRINGER INUKE NU3000DSP are:

The front panel controls and indicators for the BEHRINGER INUKE NU3000DSP include:

Power switch, Gain controls (channels A and B), DSP section rotary push-encoder, Buttons for Process, Setup, Up/Down, Exit.

Indicators include Amber backlit illuminated gain controls for Power, Limit (per channel), and Signal (per channel).

The Digital Signal Processing (DSP) features for the BEHRINGER INUKE NU3000DSP include:

• Display: LCD 128 x 32, amber backlit
• Digital delay function (per channel): 0-300 ms
• Digital crossover function: 3 filter types, up to 48 dB/octave
• Digital EQ function (per channel): 8-band parametric, 2-band dynamic equalizer
• Digital dynamics function (per channel): Zero attack limiter (peak)

To perform Bi-amping using the BEHRINGER INUKE NU3000DSP in BIAMP1 mode:

1. Choose the BIAMP1 setting on the Amp Mode screen.

2. Run a 4-pole speaker cable with professional twist-locking connectors from OUTPUTS CH A to the subwoofer. (The subwoofer receives its low-frequency signal from Channel B using poles 2+ and 2-, while the middle and upper frequency ranges use Channel A via poles 1+ and 1-).

3. Set the subwoofer into BIAMPING mode.

4. Run a 2-pole speaker cable with professional twist-locking connectors from the subwoofer to the other speaker.

5. Go to the XOVER screen using the UP/DOWN buttons to set appropriate high/low crossover frequencies.

6. In Channel A#1, choose your high-pass filter type (HPtype: BUT6, BUT12, BES12, etc.) and set the cutoff frequency (HPfreq) to approximately 100 Hz. Deactivate the low-pass filter (LPtype: OFF) on this channel and set the gain level (Gain) to suit your system.

7. In Channel B#1, choose your low-pass filter type (LPtype: BUT6, BUT12, BES12, etc.) and set the cutoff frequency (LPfreq) to approximately 100 Hz. Deactivate the high-pass filter (HPtype: OFF) on this channel and set the gain level (Gain) to suit your system.
