KLARK-TEKNIK DN9340 HELIX À NICE

KLARK-TEKNIK DN9340 HELIX. Power-packed signal processor that can solve the most difficult sound problems. The DN9340 Helix EQ offers complete digital operation of an analog signal, with controls that are succinct. The first thing I noticed about the unit was the clean, clear, color display and arrangement of control knobs and touch pads. Navigation of the Helix is achieved through the touch pads initially, by deciding on the type of EQ or filter desired with the touch controls on the left side. Those controls are joined by several display lights that indicate the mode of operation the Helix is currently engaged in. There is also a bypass mode switch. On the right side of the display is the secondary touch pad, allowing for access to the parameters and additional functions, as well as storing and recall of up to 64 favorite EQ settings. Also incorporated into the touch control section is the Home/SetUp pad, which allows for instant menu access, as well as an escape from Store and Recall functions, in the event you get overwhelmed with the amount of functions at your disposal. Just below the right side touch controls are the three value/option controls that access the actual cut and boost, and frequency selection. Joining these controls on the right side is an attractive arrangement of LED meter stacks displaying the L/R input levels, the L/R output levels and the high and low-threshold level displays for the dynamic portion of the Helix. The Helix EQ is able to operate many functions simultaneously. For example, you can set the overall mains system through the use of the 12-band parametric EQ and then engage the 1/3 octave mode during performance for additional assistance and instant course correction. This can be done through the use of either the scroll and adjust knobs, or a sensitive touch pad just below each of 30 ISO standard frequencies on the 1/3 octave display. If that mode of display is not your fancy, you may engage the “Curve” display, which shows the actual shape of the waveform after the EQ is applied. Incidentally, you can scroll through the many functions of the Helix EQ and not affect the sound of the EQ until actually engaging that function.
