Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of the QSC DCM Digital Cinema Monitor. This product
represents the state-of-the-art for cinema-based signal processing and monitoring functions in a single,
integrated system. Designed to compliment QSC’s DCA (Digital Cinema Amplifier) Series amplifier
products, the DCM optimizes loudspeaker performance while facilitating easy cinema sound system
wiring and configuration. To get the most from your investment, we encourage you to review this
manual carefully.
The QSC DCM provides a wealth of signal processing functions with the ability to copy and transfer
settings—resulting in fast system setup time in multiplex theaters where multiple rooms share similar
characteristics. Providing both monitor and crossover functions in a single unit, the DCM is capable of
simple crossover adjustments via a personal computer (PC). These modifications can be password
protected for tamper-proof system control.
Fast Setup with Easy Wiring
Your DCM takes advantage of the unique DataPort found on DCA Series amplifiers and thus greatly
simplifies system wiring—reducing installation and labor costs in the process. A single VGA-style cable
per amplifier contains two input signals, two return signals, power on/standby control, and two chan-
nels of load monitoring.
The included menu-driven, PC configuration software further enhances the DCM setup. This software
includes a database that lists the default parameters for popular cinema loudspeaker models. Com-
monly used configurations can be saved to disk, facilitating the easy transfer of settings to other DCMs.
Advanced Monitoring Control
In addition to the monitoring of your amplifier’s audio I/O, your DCM includes QSC’s exclusive “Load
Fault” detection feature. The DCM monitors for possible speaker system or wiring faults and notifies
you via LED Load Fault indicators.
