DS33 DIGITAL SNAKE
DS3232 DIGITAL SNAKE
Options
When the DS3232 is connected, there are some options
that become available from the mixing console for the
DS3232.
Gain: The gain of the mic preamps in the DS3232 are
controlled from the mixing console. For the TT24, the
console V-Pot TRIM controls become GAIN controls for
the input channels using the DS3232 inputs.
Since the DS3232 mic gain control replaces the Digital
Trim control on the TT24, the Digital Trim control is
accessed from the V-Pots by pressing CTRL+TRIM at the
same time. The V-Pots indicate mic pre gain with left to
right continuously lit LEDs, and digital trim with a single
lit LED.

Digital Trim
Single-Lit LEDs
The gain for the selected channel can also be adjusted
from the Overview touch screen. The Digital Trim control
that is normally displayed is now replaced with a Gain
knob showing a readout of the amount of gain being
applied by the mic preamp. Note that the displayed
value takes into account whether or not the 23 dB PAD
is engaged. So what you see is what you get; no subtrac-
tion required (see, we’re always striving to make your life
easier!). The gain range is summarized below:
Mic IN (PAD out): +15 dB to +70 dB
Mic IN (PAD in): –8 dB to +47 dB
The DS3232 mic gain is also adjustable by turning the
channel V-Pot when “METERS” is selected in the V-Pot
Control area.
48V: Each of the 32 XLR inputs on the DS3232 are
equipped with 48V phantom power, which can be
turned on or off for each input. In the TT24 touch-
screen, the 48V phantom power button appears just
below the SOLO button.
PAD: There is a 23 dB pad on each of the 32 inputs of
the DS3232. Turn the pad on when using a mic with a
particularly high output level, or when connecting a line-
level input. In the TT24 touchscreen, the PAD indicator
appears next to the GAIN control. Turn the PAD on and
off by pressing either the knob for the GAIN control below
the touchscreen, or the Gain V-Pot for that channel (when
TRIM is selected in the V-Pot Control area). The bottom
red LED in the V-Pot lights when the PAD is enabled.
Note: The Gain, Pad, and 48V phantom power can also
be adjusted from the TT Control software application.
Other Nuggets of Wisdom
• For optimum sonic performance, the channel and
MAIN MIX faders should be set near the “U” (unity
gain) markings.
•
Always turn the MAIN MIX faders, GROUP faders,
and MONITOR knob down on the mixing console be-
fore making connections to and from your DS3232.
• When you power down your equipment, turn off
the amplifiers first. When powering up, turn on the
amplifiers last.
• Never listen to loud music for prolonged periods.
Please see the Safety Instructions on page 2 for
information on hearing protection.
• Save the shipping box! You may need it someday,
and you don’t want to have to pay for another one.
That’s it for the “Getting Started” section. Next comes
the “Features” section, with descriptions of every input
and output. We encourage you to take the time to read
all of the feature descriptions, but at least you know it’s
there if you have any questions.
