FEATURES

OF

THE

CCM

SERIES

AMPLIFIERS

Many

of

the Front

and

rear

panel

Features

of

the

"DCM"

series

amplifiers

are

the

same

as

Found

However,

the

DEN

series

amps

are

monaural

(unlike

the

DCA

series

amps

that

are

stereo)

.

For

those

Features

that

are

the

same

as

Found

on

the

DCA

amps

we

to

the

appropriate

IN/OUT

-

This

button

(when

depressed)

will

assign

the

built-in

graphic

equalizer

"in

line."

This

means

that

uou

will

be

able

to

switch

between

an

equalized

and

non

-equalized

setting

to

compare

any

changes

that

meg

have

been

made.

If

the

amplifier

will

be

used

without

the

graphic

equalizer

function,

leave

the

switch

"out."

This

disconnects

the

graphic

equalizer

fron.the

circuit

and

its

Function

is

totally

eliminated

From

the

signal

path.

#6

GRAPHIC

EQUALIZER

-

The

graphic

equalizer

provides

a

graphic

representation

of

the

overall

levels

of

volume

at

various

Frequency

bands.

Instead

of

calling

each

band

"Bass,

Midrange,

or

Treble,"

each

band

is

listed

according

to

its

exact

Frequency

reference.

Therefore,

the

bands

are

listed

as

60Hz,

120Hz,

ESCHz,

500Hz,

1K,

2K,

LIK,

EK

&

16K.

These

numbers

refer

to

the

exact

band

in

which

uou

will

be

adjusting

the

volume

Cwithin

the

full

frequency

smectrum

,

Because

there

are

a

few

more

controls

than

Found

on

a

standard

(3)

band

equalizer,

setting

up

a

graphic

equalizer

may

initially

appear

more

difficult.

However,

at

this

point

the

best

way

to

set

your

equalizer

would

be

to

experiment

with

each

band

to

become

Familiar

with

its

respective

sound.

Set

each

of

the

bands

at

"0"
