The connections of the DDol are only suitable for further DDol or D xt. Do not connect any other
devices!
Start of operation
Connect the DDol to the central unit DCen32. The other DDol units in a chain are connected one after the
other. Only use suitable cables.
As soon as the DDol receives power from the central unit, it is switched on and ready for use. Basic settings -
such as the configuration of the language channels - are determined by the operator of the conference.
The units of the DIGIMIC system are connected by CAT5e cable or better.

Interpreter units DDol are not allowed to be mixed in a chain with other devices of the DIGIMIC family.
(The exception to this rule is the D xt.)
When the DDol is switched on, a status line appears in the display: " stablishing communication". After approx.
five seconds the display changes to normal operation.
Headphone
You can hear the audio signal in two ways - through the built-in loudspeaker or through the headphone/audio
headset. Connect any headphones (3.5mm) or your headset. Adjust the volume (Volume +/- knob). The
integrated loudspeaker is always active - set the LS to minimum to switch it off.
When the microphone is switched on, the loudspeaker is automatically muted.
Microphone
Connect a Brähler microphone or a headset. Pay attention to the notches on a microphone and screw it tight to
lock it in place.
No headset can be used in microphone mode. When a headset is connected, an attached gooseneck
microphone will be switched off automatically. When you want to use the gooseneck microphone,
make sure to connect a headphone with 2- or 3-pin plug, not a 4-pin plug of a headset. The same applies to the
7-pin DIN connector.
Press the microphone button to turn on the microphone. Press the Microphone button again to turn the
microphone off.
Depending on the takeover mode you have set, there are different options for you:
Microphone key and ring light up red: The microphone is open, you can speak.
Microphone key and ring are off: The selected channel is already being translated - you have to wait until the
channel is released.
Microphone key flashes red: You have made a channel takeover request and have to wait until the channel is
not busy anymore. Then your microphone will go live automatically.

Channel selector
With the DDol 32 channels can be transmitted – floor channel and 31 language channels. The number of
channels and their associated languages are defined by the operator on the DCen32 or by software. You can
access the floor sound at any time by pressing the Original button. The DDol stores five channels for listening
and three channels for translating. Press the R buttons 1-5 or the A-C buttons while turning the program knob
to program the desired language. If this is not possible, the corresponding channel on the central unit is
protected against adjustment.
The display shows the selected languages with abbreviations.

Operation
The DDol is designed for easy handling. All buttons are labeled - all settings are shown on the display. Below is
an overview of the individual buttons:
LS Press the "LS" key and simultaneously turn the "Program" knob to set the loudspeaker's
language channel. The illuminated button indicates an active loudspeaker. When you switch on
the microphone, the loudspeaker is switched off as well as any other loudspeaker at DDols in
the same booth. Use booth number settings from the DCen control menu to assign DDols to a
booth. All loudspeakers in a booth will playback the same language channel.
Use the LS volume knob to control the loudspeaker volume on each DDol.
Message Press the key to display messages. (Only in conjunction with the corresponding software.)

loudspeaker near the technician/operator as long as you press the “Call” key. (Function must
be activated on the central unit.)
Chair
Press "Chair" to call the chair of a conference. Your microphone will be routed to loudspeaker
located near the chairman as long as you press the “Chair” key (The function must be activated

technical support. (Only in connection with the brählerOS software.)
Auto relay Use the "auto relay" key to assign a relay input channel to each output channel. If the output
channel changes, the last assigned input channel is automatically used.
Timer Use the "timer" key reset the speaking timer. It starts automatically when activating the
microphone and stops when switching off. The timer display shows current time of day and
accumulated speaking time. The times also resets when the DCen is switched off.

the selected channel is shown on the display with "Mute". As soon as you release the key, the
microphone is open again.
Treble Turn the knob to control the treble level of the headphone sound.
Bass Turn the knob to control the bass level of the headphone sound.
Volume Turn the knob to control the volume of the headphone sound. The DDol is equipped with a
hearing protection system. High sound pressure level above 94 dBA
SPL
, that can damage your
hearing, will automatically be reduced in fractions of a second. Therefore, above a certain level,
the volume will not increase any further.
This hearing protection feature only works properly with the designated headset HS460. Other
headsets may have a different sensitivity and need to be adapted to the DDol.
In addition there is a warning beep sound, if the sound pressure level in average raise above a
given level of 80 dBA
SPL
for more than a minute. Reduce the volume level to avoid hearing
damage.
Original Press the "Original" key to return to the original sound (Floor).
