Dateq ONYX Manual
Dateq Onyx
The Onyx is a 6-channel mixer with a clear and uncluttered appearance. It is highly suitable for use
in -among other situations- conference centres, catering establishments, small discotheques and
hotels. A total of three microphones and nine line signals can be connected. Channels 1 and 2
both have gain and dual tone controls to improve speech intelligibility. There is an XLR connection
on the front panel to allow quick connection of an additional microphone. Channel 6 has a 'jukebox
input' which can be used to suppress the signal of channels 2-5.
The zone system makes it possible to retrieve two different signals from the unit. This means, for
example, that people in the front room of a complex can listen to a CD player while, in the back
room, a meeting is taking place via the same sound system. It is also possible to route a signal to
both outputs, so that, for example, a general announcement will always be heard. Each channel
has an A/B switch which can be used to route the channel concerned to output A or B (or to both).
Thanks to the built-in talkover circuit, announcements and/or paging calls always come over
clearly. This circuit, which is triggered by an incoming signal on channel 1 (i.e. it is voice-activated),
ensures that this signal overrides all others. The talkover's actuation point is adjustable, and the
talkover function can be switched on and off using a switch on the front panel.
The Onyx has two stereo outputs which are completely independent of one another. Each is fitted
with a triple tone control to allow precise acoustic correction. Master A has both balanced and
unbalanced outputs. This makes it possible to use long signal cables and to locate the (output)
amplifier for this group close to the loudspeakers. Master B has unbalanced outputs. The mixer
also has easy-to-read LED VU meters which show which CUE signal has been selected.
