How can I set a safe listening level?

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to a higher volume of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

• Pay attention to the different levels in various recordings.

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Some common decibel ranges:

Level Example
30 Quiet library, Soft whispers
40 Living room, Refrigerator, Bedroom away from traffic
50 Light traffic, Normal Conversation
60 Air Conditioner at 20 ft., Sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, Hair dryer, Noisy Restaurant
80 Average city traffic, Garbage disposals, Alarm clock at 2 ft.

The following noises can be dangerous under constant exposure:

Level Example
90 Subway, Motorcycle, Truck traffic, Lawn Mower
100 Garbage truck, Chainsaw, Pneumatics drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers
140 Gunshot blast, Jet plane
180 Rocket launching pad

How do I connect a TV or monitor to the DA-X10PRO?

The DA-X10PRO has three VIDEO OUTPUT jacks, all of which output source video and/or decoded CD+G graphics to TVs and display devices. This enables multiple TV configurations for performer, KJ and audience viewing.

For each video connection, follow the steps below:

(a) Connect an RCA-type video cable from the desired VIDEO OUTPUT jack on the DA-X10PRO to the VIDEO INPUT jack on the TV or monitor device. Some TVs will require that you manually switch the TV to the VIDEO INPUT mode. Other TVs will automatically switch video modes when they detect a video signal from the video in jack. On most TVs the jack is labeled AUX or VIDEO.

(b) If the TV does not have a VIDEO IN jack you may connect that end of the video cable to the VIDEO INPUT of a VCR and connect the RF OUTPUT of the VCR to the TV ANTENNA INPUT jack.

(c) If there is no VCR present, you will need to use an RF Modulator.


How do I connect input source players like DVD or CDG players?

The DA-X10PRO has three audio/video input channels and one audio input channel, for a total of four possible input devices to be connected.

The AUX INPUT is for connecting a device with AUDIO output only, such as a CD player, therefore it only has stereo audio jacks. For the DVD, CDG and LD channels, in addition to the standard stereo audio jacks, there is also a VIDEO jack for connecting VIDEO output. For all color-coded jacks on the DA-X10PRO, the YELLOW jacks are for connecting VIDEO, while the RED and WHITE jacks are for connecting audio. If a particular device connection does not require a video connection, simply connect the audio jacks only.

For each device connection, follow the steps below:

(a) To connect AUDIO, connect an RCA-type audio cable (stereo) from the AUDIO INPUT jacks of the DVD, CDG or LD channels on the DA-X10PRO to the AUDIO OUTPUT jacks on the source player.

(b) For a corresponding VIDEO connection, connect an RCA-type video cable from the VIDEO INPUT jack on the DA-X10PRO to the VIDEO OUTPUT jack on source player, being sure the audio and video connections are to the same input channel on the DA-X10PRO and external source player.

While each input channel is designated with a device association (DVD, CDG, LD, and AUX), any compatible device can be connected to them (with exception to the AUX channel, which only has stereo audio inputs and no video). The device associations are for convenience only, and should not prevent one from connecting a device different from that of the designation.


How do I connect the DA-X10PRO to an amplifier, mixer, or recording device?

The DA-X10PRO has two pairs of RCA AUDIO OUTPUTS:

Pre-Out: This OUTPUT is for connecting the DA-X10PRO to a power amplifier.

(a) Using a patch cable with RCA plugs on one side, and plugs that match your amplifier’s inputs on the other, connect the RCA plugs to the PRE-OUT jacks on the DA-X10PRO, and then connect the other side’s plugs to the amplifier’s AUDIO INPUT.

REC Out: This OUTPUT is for connecting the DA-X10PRO to a recording device or secondary mixer.

(a) Using a patch cable with RCA plugs on one side, and plugs that match your recorder/mixer’s inputs on the other, connect the RCA plugs to the REC-OUT jacks on the DA-X10PRO, and then connect the other side’s plugs to the recorder/mixer’s AUDIO INPUT.


How do I connect microphones to the DA-X10PRO?

The DA-X10PRO’s microphone jacks accommodate unbalanced ¼-inch microphone plugs. Microphones with an 1/8-inch mini-plug can also be connected with an 1/8-inch to ¼-inch adapter.

(a) If the microphone cable is detachable, plug the XLR end into the microphone firmly till it “locks” into place.

(b) Unravel the microphone cable to prevent tangling and connect the ¼-inch plug in one of the DA-X10PRO’s microphone jacks.


What is the procedure for powering up the system?

(a) Plug the power cord of the DA-X10PRO into a 110-120V AC wall outlet, but do not turn on the DA-X10PRO yet. NOTE: The DA-X10PRO cannot be used with 220-240V power supplies. If improperly plugged into a 220-240V AC power outlet, the DA-X10PRO may malfunction, possibly to the point of system failure. In this case, the product warranty would become void.

(b) Turn on the receiver/amplifier, source player(s) and TV.

(c) Be sure your TV is set to receive video input from the VIDEO INPUT jack. (Some TVs use a VIDEO INPUT, AUX or CHANNEL 0 as a “dedicated” video channel). Check your TV’s instruction manual to see how it selects its video channel(s).

(d) Turn the POWER switch on the DA-X10PRO to its ON position.


How do I perform a sound check?

(a) Select the correct input on your receiver/amplifier. For example, if the AUDIO OUTPUT from the DA-X10PRO is connected to the CD INPUT on the receiver/amplifier, set its INPUT CHANNEL to CD.

(b) Set the MASTER VOLUME controls on both the DA-X10PRO and receiver/amplifier to approximately 25%.

(c) Set the DA-X10PRO’s MIC 1-2 and MIC 3 VOLUME controls to 50%, with the MASTER MIC VOLUME control at approximately 25%.

(d) Set the DA-X10PRO’s INPUT SELECTOR to the correct channel that a source player is connected to. For example, if you wish to play from the player connected to the DVD input channel, set the input selector to DVD.

(e) Start playback from source and ensure a connected MIC is on. You should hear the playback and your vocals when singing into the MIC.

How can I enhance the vocal image and work with external effects?

Working with Vocals Using External Effects Devices

Often, vocalists use external effects such as echo, repeat, delay, reverb and key control. As these effects do enhance the overall vocal experience, they can also considerably limit the signal’s sound quality. The Vocal Enhancer will be of help to clean up the vocal image. Depending on the effect and voice in use with the Vocal Enhancer, it is recommended to experiment with the different settings to find the best possible setting for the situation.

Enhancing the Vocal Image

The frequency bandwidth of most vocalists is approximately 300Hz – 6kHz. The DA-X10PRO can improve the range of sound so that vocals have a more natural and transparent sound by enhancing frequencies within that range. Even minute aspects of a vocal image can be emphasized without affecting the overall sound. Because every vocal image is different, it is best recommended to experiment with different settings to see which sound is closest to what you are seeking.

Enhancing the Vocals within Pre-existing Karaoke/P.A. Systems

If used with Karaoke and P.A. systems, for studio or live situations, the DA-X10PRO is placed either directly before the power amp or in a loop. The intelligibility and range of your vocals will be noticeably improved and the vocal image will become clear and transparent, even at low volume levels.

Use of the Vocal Enhancer will increase the speaker system’s acoustic performance and its ability to penetrate a room, particularly in places with difficult acoustics. The system may need less effective amplifier power, since the perceived level of volume level increases. Powerful and detailed vocal reproduction can thus be achieved in “weaker” sounding systems.


How do I use the Digital Key Control and customize Digital Echo?

Using Digital Key Control

Use the Digital Key Controller to obtain the desired musical key (± 6 notes, 13-steps). The Digital Key Controller indicators (± 6 and 0 indicators) display the selected pitch. To step up, press the left button marked “#”. To step down, press the right button marked “b”. To revert back to the original key, press the MIDDLE button.

Customizing Digital Echo Settings

When using Digital Echo, you can customize the effect by adjusting the Echo, Repeat and Delay controls. First set the ECHO level control to mid-level. Then customize the effect with the REPEAT and DELAY level controls. Repeat adjusts the interval repetition of the echo effect. As more Repeat is applied, more echo intervals will be heard. Delay adjusts length of each interval. As more Delay is applied, there will be more “space” between the starting and ending point of each echo. When the Digital Echo effect is customized, adjust the ECHO level control as you would a master level control.


How do I remove the vocal layer from a multiplex disc?

When playing a Multiplex disc, you can use either the CANCEL or PARTNER feature to remove the vocal layer from playback.

If you select CANCEL the vocal layer will be removed. To have the vocal layer return to the mix, select NORMAL mode.

If you select PARTNER, the vocal layer will be removed only as long as you are singing into a Mic. When Mic activity ceases, the vocal layer automatically returns. To have the original vocal layer return to the mix, select NORMAL mode.


How do I balance the microphone levels?

1. Set the MIC 1-2 and MIC 3 controls to their center positions.

2. Set the MIC VOLUME control to about 25-percent from its minimum position.

3. Make adjustments to the MIC BASS and TREBLE controls. It is recommended not to apply too much TREBLE as that can lead to microphone feedback.

4. Set the DA-X10PRO’s INPUT SELECTOR to a channel where the test music is. (For example, if you wish to play music from a player connected to CDG input, set the INPUT SELECTOR to CDG).

5. Adjust ECHO, REPEAT and DELAY settings to personal taste via the ECHO, REPEAT and DELAY controls.

6. Ensure that the microphone is on and start playback from the source. When singing into the microphone, you should hear the playback music and your vocals together.

7. Do a complete song, preferably with volume changes, to ensure microphone balancing is correct.
