Introduction

The SPL6 is an advanced audio level limite that sto es the sound level samples fo at least twelve

months. The sound level samples can be viewed using the inte nal web pages o exte nally sto ed

th ough automatic email. Othe impo tant data is also sto ed like powe ing up, sanctions o

possible f aud attempts.

Using the web inte face the SPL6 can be ead out and adjusted. The e is no sepa ate platfo m

depended softwa e equi ed. All use s can only view settings and logging. To adjust configu ation

settings an additional passwo d and license file is equi ed. TO connect to the SPL6 a compute o

tablet must be equipped with a netwo k connection. When connected to a netwo k o the Inte net,

the SPL6 can be emotely monito ed.

The SPL6 uses a measu ement mic ophone to dete mine the actual sound level. When

measu ement shows the sound level exceeding the maximum set level, it will educe slowly the full

sound spect um to the maximum allowed level. In multiband mode the SPL6 will slightly educe the

single f equency band befo e adjusting the full spect um.

With the special co elation detection the SPL6 detects exte nal noise pollution and can igno e fo

example applauding o sc eaming audience. This way the maximum sound level is always insu ed.

The special calende functions allow fo diffe ent sound levels du ing the day and yea .

Installation

The limite is installed in between the audio sou ce (a mixing desk fo example) and the speake

amplifie .

When calib ating the system, the powe amplifie has to be set to maximum output level. The

limite will educe the signal as much as needed. When used at nominal level the established

sound p essu e limit will not be exceeded afte configu ing the limite . Howeve if in any case this

should happen, e.g. When the mixe is used above the nominal level, the limite will automatically

adjust the signal to ensu e the sound p essu e level emains below the maximum allowed level.

Connections

The SPL6 is equipped with balanced audio in,- and outputs. This type of connection gua antees a

solid sound quality, even when long audio cables a e used. Afte the limite is installed the audio

connecto s a e cove ed to p event late adjustments. Removal of this cove will be egiste ed by

the SPL6. To e-activate the limite the key on the f ont is needed.

Microphone input

Connect the supplied measu ing mic ophone he e. The wi ing of the mic ophone can be

lengthened with standa d mic ophone cable. Pay attention to the pola ity of the wi ing. If

the mic ophone is w ongly connected it won't wo k. The limite will give an e o message,

and the volume will be ext emely educed.

The mic ophone should be installed so that it 'hea s' both sound f om the speake s as well

as the sound f om the c owd in the oom. The mic ophone can be placed close to the

speake s when the maximum allowed level is ve y low. This educes the effects of

backg ound noises.

Audio inputs

Balanced audio inputs. Pin 1 and 3 of the XLR connecto should be linked togethe when

the mixe only has unbalanced outputs. The mixe s' signal can be connected to pin 2, and

the g ound to pin 1.

Audio outputs

Connect the powe amplifie s he e. Connect pin 2 (signal) and pin 1 (g ound) when the

powe amplifie does not have balanced inputs.

UK DATEQ SPL6 manual Netwo k installation 9

External attenuator

This input can be used to educe the maximum sound p essu e level with an exte nal

potentiomete . The maximum sound p essu e level can be educed by connecting a linea

10kOhm potentiomete between pin1 and pin 14.

This can be useful to educe the sound p essu e level f om behind the ba . It is also

possible to automatically educe the sound p essu e level, fo instance when in the summe

some doo s a e opened.

Signaling

eduction signaling

An indicato to show that the limite has educed the sound p essu e level can be connected to this

output. This output has the same function as the eduction LED on the f ont of the limite (Audio

eduction).

Overload signaling

This output indicates an ove load somewhe e in the limite . This can be the measu ing mic ophone

o the audio input. This output has the same function as the ove load LED on the f ont.

Live OK signaling

This output is active as long as the limite is not in sanction mode. A solid-state elay, to tu n off

the powe supply of the live band, can be connected to this output. If the maximum sound

p essu e level is exceeded by a band, the limite will go into sanction mode and cut off the powe

supply automatically. Afte a p e-set du ation the sanction will be dissolved.

Warning signaling

Level OK

Safe sound pressure

These outputs give an imp ession of the actual sound p essu e level with espect to the maximum

allowed level:

•The wa ning signaling output becomes active, as soon as the maximum sound p essu e level is

exceeded.

•Level OK indicates that the sound p essu e level is below the maximum allowed level, but is

getting close (0...12dB span).

•Safe sound p essu e indicates that the sound p essu e level is well below the maximum allowed

limit (12dB o mo e).

These indicato s can be placed nea the disc-jockey, o the live band, to give them an imp ession

of the sound p essu e level.

External VU unit

This is the data connection with the optional SPL-D2 MKII display. The exte nal display can also

di ectly be connected to the SPL6. Fo this a ste eo 6.3mm jack cable is equi ed.

1. Key switch:

Afte emoving the cove lid, the key needs to be set to the blue position to eactivate the

limite . Afte eactivating the key needs to be etu ned to the ed position. The key switch also

esets sanction.

2. Display:

The display shows all impo tant values like system time, cu ent sound level in diffe ent values

(dBA, dBC, Leq and peak level) and the cu ent eduction. The display can also show the sound

level histo y, sound spect um, configu ation settings and calib ation date.

3. Status LED's:

•DETECT LED the SPL6 detected audio signal on the line input (-24dB o mo e),

•REDUCE LED shows the audio level is above the set maximum. The SPL6 educes the

output level,

•OVERLOAD LED shows an ove loaded signal p esent at the line o mic ophone input (12dB

above th eshold level),

•SANCTION LED shows the limite in sanction state. On f aud detection the limite will also

go into sanction state. The sanction LED will blink. Reset by time o eset key.

4. Cont ol:

The cont ol knob allows to switch between the diffe ent display views. It also allows to select the

special test mode, that tempo a ily educes the output level. This functionality is specially

designed fo monito ing agencies.
