CLEANING THE APPLIANCE:
Clean by wiping with a polished cloth slightly dipped with water. Avoid getting water inside the unit. Do not
use volatile liquids such as benzene or thinner which will damage the unit.
CONNECTIONS
Connections can be made with balanced/unbalanced XLR-
cables. Please only use good quality balanced cables to
minimize noise and interference. There are many different
possibilities but mainly the unit will be connected between the
output of your mixer and the different amplifiers in your
installation.
IMPORTANT: always test your connections to exclude any wiring errors!
Make sure all MUTE buttons (8) are on.
Activate the HF-outputs first: if your cabling is wrong, high frequencies will come out of your
subwoofers (but HF-units are still alive )

using CAT-5E (Ethernet) cable. Don’t for get to set the device ID’s! (see chapter “how to use”) You can
also use these connections to extend the PC-link to max 100m. On the PC-side you should connect the
supplied RS-485/USB converter.
16. BALANCED OUTPUTS: use balanced XLR-cables to connect the different amplifiers to the processor.
17. BALANCED INPUTS: use balanced XLR-cables to connect the processor to the output of you mixer.
SOME WORDS EXPLAINED
Maybe it’s a good idea to briefly explain some terms before we explain how this unit should be used.
DELAY ON INPUT
In big venues and for outdoor applications delays can be very useful to compensate the time lag between
individual speaker stacks. For example between the speaker stack near the podium and delay towers further
in the audience. The DLP-6 MK2 can introduce input delays up to 682,52ms or 235,07m!
DELAY ON OUTPUTS
Is used to align the individual components of a speaker stack with each other. For example you can have
mid/high cabinets flown and subwoofers on the floor: in this case the DLP-6 MK2 can compensate the time
differences with a delay, up to 2000ms or 688,86m, on each output.
PARAMETRIC EQ
A parametric equalizer is a very effective band-pass filter with adjustable gain, center frequency and
bandwidth. It’s often used to correct speakers, prevent feedback, eliminate unwanted resonances, etc. In
most cases a 5band parametric EQ is more than enough to adjust the sound to perfection.
HIGH / LOW SHELF FILTERS
Shelving filters are useful to restore the overall balance of high and low frequencies.
A low-shelf filter: passes all frequencies, but boosts or cuts frequencies below the cutoff frequency by
specified amount.
Example1: if the overall bass response of a
system is weak, you can use a low-shelf filter
to increase the low frequencies.
Example2: On the drawing a low-shelf filter is
used with frequency = 200Hz and gain set to
-18dB  all frequencies below 200Hz are
reduced by -18dB.
A high-shelf filter: passes all frequencies,
but boosts or cuts frequencies above the
cutoff frequency by specified amount.
Example: If your mix sounds a little harsh, you can use a high-shelf to reduce the high frequencies without
completely eliminating some frequencies, as would happen with a normal high-cut filter.

ENGLISH OPERATION MANUAL
SYNQ®5/96 DLP-6 MK2
HIGH-PASS / LOW-PASS / BAND-PASS FILTERS
A low-pass filter: blocks unwanted high-frequency signals.
Example: you can use a LP-filter at 150Hz to filter the input of a subwoofer.
A high-pass filter: blocks unwanted low-frequency signals.
Example: you can use a HP-filter at 150Hz to filter the input of a mid/high cabinet.
A band-pass filter: you can combine a low-pass and high-pass filter to obtain a band-pass filter.
Example: you can use a BP-filter at 1,2kHz and 8,0kHz to filter the input of compression driver.
LIMITER AND COMPRESSOR - DIFFERENCES
The main difference between a limiter and compressor is the compression ratio. A limiter uses a ratio of 10:1
to 100:1 or even infinite, while a compressor will use a ratio of 10:1 or less.
A compressor reduces the dynamic range (louder parts made softer, softer parts made louder) so it reacts
as a sort of dynamic volume control. Therefore it’s often used in radio studios.
A limiter “limits” the signal as soon as it reaches the threshold level. Therefore limiters are often used to
reduce peaks and protect your equipment (loudspeakers). The higher the compression ratio, the better the
protection.
HOW TO USE
Speaker management processors can tune your sound to perfection but in the hands of people with little or
no experience they can literally destroy the sound, and sometimes even the loudspeakers! So please
experiment and read a lot about their possibilities before you start using them, on the internet you can find a
lot of fine articles… Don’t say we didn’t warn you! 

PC SOFTWARE
Our personal favorite because it’s so much faster! The PC-software is so easy to use that it doesn’t need a
lot of explanation. If you are familiar with the use of all parameters than you can use it right away, we will just
give you some basic explanations. You can connect the DLP-6 MK2 in two different ways to your PC:
Via USB: This is the easiest way but the length of your cable is limited to only
5m. Use a standard USB-cable to connect the USB-slot on the rear of the
DLP-6 MK2 to one of the USB-slots of your PC.
Via RS485: This is a little more complicated but the length of your cable can
be extended to 100m. You will need the supplied RS485/USB converter (see
picture). Connect one side of a standard straight CAT-5E network cable to one
of the RS-485 connectors on the rear of the DLP-6 MK2. Connect the other
side of the network cable to the RJ-45 input of the RS485/USB converter and
insert it in a free USB-slot on your PC.
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE:
Very important: before you install the Windows®software you should install a driver to ensure the
USB or RS485 communication!
Part1 –installing the USB driver
AUTOMATIC installation:
First connect the DLP-6 MK2 with your PC (via USB or RS485) and switch the DLP-6 MK2 on.
Windows will detect new hardware and ask you if it can search and install a driver via internet: accept
this option. Windows will try to install the driver automatically. After some time windows will inform you
if it could install the driver or not.
Proceed with the manual driver installation if the driver could not be found and installed.

ENGLISH OPERATION MANUAL
SYNQ®11/96 DLP-6 MK2
MANUAL installation:
Don’t yet connect the DLP-6 MK2 to your PC!
The installation file for the driver can be found on the supplied CDROM or you can download it from
the SYNQ-website (see download section of the DLP-6 MK2 product page).
UNZIP the file and double-click the exe-file named “PL-2303 Driver Installer.exe” and follow the
instructions to install the driver properly.
To check if the driver is installed, open the Windows®
device manager and check if the driver is available, you
can also check which COM-port is emulated (in most
cases it will be COM3, as shown on the picture) To be
able to see the driver listed, you should connect the DLP-
6 MK2 to your PC and turn it on.
Remark: depending on the hardware inside your DLP-6
MK2 the drivername shown in windows can be different!
Part2 –installing the DLP-6 MK2 PC-software
The DLP-6 MK2 PC-software can be found on the supplied CDROM or you can download it from the
SYNQ-website (see download section of the DLP-6 MK2 product page).
Double-click the file named “DigitalSpeakerSetup_V110 SYNQ Audio.exe”and follow the instructions to
install the software.
Part3 –first time use
First connect the DLP-6 MK2 with your PC via USB or RS485.
The USB output of the PC will be treated by the software as an RS-232 connection. Therefore you will
have to set the correct RS232 port when you use the software for the first time:
Start the PC software. In the left upper corner you will notice the sign on the right, indicating
that the software is not connected to the processor.
Open the “CONFIG” menu and select the “RS-232” option.
Normally you should choose “COM3”. To be sure you can check the COM-port in the Windows®device
manager.
Open the “CONFIG” menu again and select “OnLine”: a popup window will open where you have to
select “DLP-6 MK2:2In6Out”
If the software can connect to the processor than you should see the sign on the right. If this
doesn’t work, you should also select some other COM-settings and try again to establish a
connection.
CHECKING THE SOFTWARE VERSION
Open the “HELP” menu and select the “About” option. In the popup window you can see the software
version and program build:

ENGLISH OPERATION MANUAL
SYNQ®12/96 DLP-6 MK2
USING THE SOFTWARE:
Keep in mind that the software is always connected to the processor so all parameters and settings you
change in the software are immediately sent to the DLP-6 MK2! This means that you have “live” interaction
with the audio of your audio system. On the screen you can see that the PC software has a very easy
interface with clickable icons.
You can click the icons to start your setup (start with the “Source” icons), you can choose a preset (“config”
menu, option “preset”) or you can simply load a custom made program to further tune it:
Program Manager
Choose option “Device Program Manage” in the
menu Program. the window “memory” appears.
This window allows you to send programs between
the PC and the processor and save/load them on
your laptop. These are the different options:
Store to device: used to store the current
configuration in the DLP-6 MK2. First select one of
the 30 memory locations before you press the “Store
To Device” button! You will be asked for a proper
name and if you are sure you want to overwrite the
current memory location in the processor.
Recall from device: used to recall one of the 30
memories in the DLP-6 MK2 and transfer it to the PC
so you can edit/store it.
Store to PC: used to store the selected memory (1
out of 30) to a file on your PC.
Recall from PC: used to recall one memory, stored
on your PC, and load it to the selected memory location.
Store all to PC: used to store the complete set of 30 memories from the DLP-6 MK2 in a file on your PC.
Recall all from PC: used to recall a file, containing a set of 30 memories, from your PC and send it to the
DLP-6 MK2.
Linking the parameters on inputs and outputs
In many cases the parameters of the in/outputs should simply be equal. To make life easier you can link
two or more in/outputs you only have to change the parameters of one in/output, the linked in/output(s)
will be set a the same time!

ENGLISH OPERATION MANUAL
SYNQ®13/96 DLP-6 MK2
NO LINKS SET INPUTS A&B are linked
OUTPUTS 1+2 and 3+4+5+6 are linked
Open the “CONFIG” menu
Select the option “Link Setting” window will open, similar to the windows shown above.
Set the desired links:
See the 2 example windows: on the right window you can clearly see:
oThe inputs are linked (Link1 = InA + InB)
oOutputs 1 + 2 are linked (Link1 = Out1 + Out2)
oOutputs 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 are linked (Link3 = Out3 + Out4 + Out5 + Out6)
Once you have set the links, press the “Set Link” button.
Please note: It can take 5seconds or more before the window closes, this in normal!
Adjusting the different parameters
Simply click the icons of the parameters you want to change, screens like the ones below will appear.
On top of the windows you have extra TABs that make it very easy to jump from one parameter to the
other.
Remark 1: when you key in the parameters you must confirm them with the “ENTER” button on your PC-
keyboard, otherwise the values are not saved!
Remark 2: If you have doubts about certain parameters, please read the previous chapters for more
information.
