CAUTION  
WARNING  
CAUTION  
When Installing the Unit  
When Installing the Unit  
• Do not expose the unit to rain or an environment  
where it may be splashed by water or other liquids,  
as doing so may result in fire or electric shock.  
• Never plug in nor remove the power supply plug  
with wet hands, as doing so may cause electric  
shock.  
• Use the unit only with the voltage specified on the  
unit. Using a voltage higher than that which is  
specified may result in fire or electric shock.  
• When unplugging the power supply cord, be sure  
to grasp the power supply plug; never pull on the  
cord itself. Operating the unit with a damaged  
power supply cord may cause a fire or electric  
shock.  
• Do not cut, kink, otherwise damage nor modify the  
power supply cord. In addition, avoid using the  
power cord in close proximity to heaters, and never  
place heavy objects -- including the unit itself -- on  
the power cord, as doing so may result in fire or  
electric shock.  
• Do not block the fan exhaust vent on the unit's rear  
and the ventilation slots on the bottom. Doing so  
may cause heat to build up inside the unit and  
result in fire.  
• Avoid installing the unit in humid or dusty locations,  
in locations exposed to the direct sunlight, near the  
heaters, or in locations generating sooty smoke or  
steam as doing otherwise may result in fire or  
electric shock.  
When the Unit is in Use  
• Should the following irregularity be found during  
use, immediately switch off the power, disconnect  
the power supply plug from the AC outlet and  
contact your nearest TOA dealer. Make no further  
attempt to operate the unit in this condition as this  
may cause fire or electric shock.  
· If you detect smoke or a strange smell coming  
from the unit.  
· If water or any metallic object gets into the unit  
· If the unit falls, or the unit case breaks  
· If the power supply cord is damaged (exposure of  
the core, disconnection, etc.)  
• When installing the unit in an equipment rack,  
observe the following instructions. Failure to do so  
may result in fire or personal injury.  
· Install the rack on a solid and stable surface.  
Then, secure it with anchor bolts or make other  
appropriate arrangements to prevent it from  
falling down or moving.  
· Use the screws supplied with the unit to mount on  
TOA's rack.  
· The AC outlet to which the unit's AC power cable  
is connected must have allowable current  
capacity over the unit's current consumption.  
· If it is malfunctioning (no tone sounds.)  
• To prevent a fire or electric shock, never open nor  
remove the unit case as there are high voltage  
components inside the unit. Refer all servicing to  
your nearest TOA dealer.  
When the Unit is in Use  
• Do not place cups, bowls, or other containers of  
liquid or metallic objects on top of the unit. If they  
accidentally spill into the unit, this may cause a fire  
or electric shock.  
• Switch off the power, and unplug the power supply  
plug from the AC outlet for safety purposes when  
cleaning or leaving the unit unused for 10 days or  
more. Doing otherwise may cause a fire or electric  
shock.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
TOA's D-901 is a 19-inch rack-mounted (3U high) digital mixer configured with 12 inputs, 8 buses, and 8  
outputs. It features signal processing functions necessary for sound systems such as feedback suppression  
and auto-mixing. All functional parameters can be set at the unit*. Settings can be stored in the unit's internal  
memory as "preset memory" and can be recalled using the front panel-mounted operation keys.  
* Can also be set at a PC using the setting software, which can be downloaded from our website  
"http://www.toa-products.com/international/".  
3. FEATURES  
• Acoustic feedback can be suppressed through simple operation.  
• Auto-Mixing functions (Ducker*1 and NOM Attenuation*2) automatically adjust the input signal volume.  
• Signals are digitally processed, ensuring high-accuracy sound parameter settings.  
• All settings can be performed at the unit using the LCD screen and setting keys and knobs located on the  
front panel. The settings can also be made at a PC using the dedicated software.  
• Modular construction permits flexible configuration of inputs and outputs, from 2-IN/4-OUT to 12-IN/8-OUT  
systems.  
• Up to 16 preset patterns can be stored in memory, which can be easily recalled from either the unit or  
connected external equipment.  
• An RS-232C port permits remote control of the unit using an AMX or Crestron controller, or similar external  
products.com/international/.  
• A protect function prevents accidental changes of front panel key settings.  
• The use of an optional D-981 or D-983 Remote Control Module, or an optional D-984VC VCA Control  
Module permits easy remote operation of volume control and preset memory recall.  
• The use of an optional D-984VC VCA Control Module permits the sound volume to be adjusted from remote  
locations using the faders or volume controls.  
*1 Automatically adjusts all channel gains in response to input signal level. (Refer to p. 38.)  
*2 Automatically adjusts the input gain of open microphones corresponding to the number of open  
microphones in the system. (Refer to p. 39.)

Notes  
Make sure that the power is switched OFF before attaching or detaching modules.  
To avoid failures due to static electricity, do not touch the parts or terminals on the circuit board of both the  
unit and module.  
Ensure that the module is installed and secured with screws in the correct position.  
Cover idle slots with the blank panels attached to the unit as shipped by the factory.  
Two silver slotted screws at the top and bottom of the front panel are handles used for module detachment.  
Never rotate them because they do not function as screws.

6. SETTING BASICS  
6.1. Setting Procedures  
The D-901's functions need to be set using the front-mounted keys and knob according to scenes of use. After  
connecting all external equipment, check the following, then follow the procedures below to set each of the  
unit's functions.  
Check to be sure that  
The required modules are correctly inserted.  
The power supply is correctly connected.  
The power indicator lights when the power switch is turned on.  
Step 1. Set which input channel signal is transmitted to which output channel.  
Because the factory default setting is made so that each input (1 12) is assigned to all outputs (1  
8) via the Microphone Bus*, when a microphone, or CD player or other music player is  
connected to an input, its signals are output from all output terminals by simply increasing the  
corresponding input channel gain. Make input-to-output re-assignment according to scenes of use.  
* Refer to p. 82, Block Diagram.  
(Refer to p. 41, Bus assignment settings.)  
This setting can be performed in either of two ways: On the setting screen display or by way of the  
front-mounted keys.  
Step 2. Set the input sensitivity.  
When the D-921E or D-921F is installed, perform this setting by displaying the setting screen.  
(Refer to p. 26, PAD Settings.)  
When the D-922E or D-922F is installed, perform this setting using its DIP switch.  
(Refer to p. 12 13.)  
Set the sensitivity so that the front-mounted Input channel indicator [SIG] does not light red.  
Step 3. Set the input channel gain.  
(Refer to p. 25, Input/Output Gain Settings.)  
This setting can be performed in any of three ways: On the setting screen display (two methods)  
or by way of the front-mounted keys.  
Note: When using the D-984VC VCA Control Module, perform gain settings as well for the input  
channel to be remotely controlled.  
Step 4. Set the output channel gain.  
(Refer to p. 25, Input/Output Gain Settings.)  
This setting can be performed in any of three ways: On the setting screen display (two methods)  
or by way of the front-mounted keys.  
Note: When using the D-984VC VCA Control Module, perform gain settings as well for the output  
channel to be remotely controlled.  
Step 5. Set individual functions as required.  
(Refer to p. 18, Setting Flowcharts.)  
Refer to the setting flowcharts for the appropriate setting method for the function to be used.  
When using Stereo Link, Grouping and Crossover functions, first perform the required settings  
on the Utility setting screen.

Note  
It is highly recommended that any changed parameters be immediately saved as preset memory on the  
Preset Memory setting screen. (Refer to p. 57, Preset Memory Save.) This permits the parameters of each  
function to be saved and protected, even if the power is switched off. All currently saved parameters can be  
recalled and reproduced when the power is switch on again. (Refer to p. 60, Initial Preset Memory Selection.)  
Settings need not be saved when temporarily setting or changing parameters.  
6.2. Setting Flowcharts  
All the functions described hereinafter can also be set at a PC using the dedicated software. Please access  
In the following charts, the Screen shift keys [  
] are used to move vertically (next screen display) and the  
shift keys [  
] to move horizontally between the solid line setting screen boxes ( ) . For movements  
within the dotted line setting screen boxes (  
corresponding pages.

8.11. Auto-Leveler Settings (only when the auto-leveler mode is selected in Section 8.9.)  
The auto-leveler function performs to keep the output level constant by suppressing the change of sound  
volume. Setting the target level (the constant level to be automatically adjusted to) and the maximum gain (the  
amount of gain to bring the lower level to the target level) automatically compensates for the input level. Note  
that setting an excessive amount of gain increases the input sensitivity, easily causing feedback.  
Note: No following displays appear when the compressor mode is selected.

8.13. Gate Settings  
The gate function allows the input signal to be passed,  
attenuated or cut depending on its signal level.  
[Example: Hysteresis parameter is set to +10 dB.]  
Input level  
Open  
The gate allows the signal to pass when open, and  
attenuates or cuts the signal when closed. The gate opens  
when the input signal reaches a level above the Threshold  
plus Hysteresis parameter (half the Hysteresis) as shown in  
the figure at right. Once open, the input signal must reach a  
level below the Threshold minus Hysteresis parameter to  
close.The Ducker function (p. 38) and the NOM attenuation  
function (p. 39) are controlled by the gate's open/close  
operations.

Mixing section.  
When a received signal exceeds the gate threshold level, the ducker function automatically attenuates all  
other input signals which are lower than that input channel in priority.  
This function operates in individual auto-mixing groups (previous page).

The NOM Attenuation function is one of the D-901's auto-mixing functions, and automatically adjusts

Auto-Mixing section.  
NOM is an acronym of Number of Open Microphones, and represents the number of microphones in open  
status (the number of input channels with open gates).  
The NOM attenuation function automatically adjusts the open microphone's input channel gain depending on  
the number of open microphones. The open microphone channel gain is attenuated by the gain set on the  
Utility setting screen (p. 61) each time the number of open microphones doubles. The use of this function  
allows an output level to be kept constant, thus helping to prevent feedback.  
This function operates in individual auto-mixing groups (p. 37).  
Note: When an input channel is set to OFF, the NOM function on that channel does not operate.

[Suppressing acoustic feedback with a simple operation]  
Step 1. Set the volume controls of connected external equipment to the state in which they will actually be  
used.  
Step 2. Activate the Auto mode on the Feedback Suppression setting screen. (Refer to the next page.)  
All filters (12 bands) that suppress feedback are set after they are initialized.  
Notes  
Auto mode cannot be initiated if the number of Auto mode filters is set to 0. (Refer to the next page.)  
Large sounds are produced during Auto mode operation.  
Setting takes about 1.5 minutes. (This may differ depending on the unit installation circumstances.)  
No keys can be used during Auto mode operation. Press the Setting knob to interrupt setup  
operations.  
[Settings to be performed as required]  
Step 3. Set the Dynamic mode or the number of filters on the Feedback Suppression setting screen, or  
perform individual settings on the Feedback Suppression Filter setting screen as required.  
Notes  
When the number of filters to be used for the Auto and Dynamic modes have been changed,  
reactivate the Auto mode.  
Take care when executing filter initialization, as feedback may occur.  
It is recommended that the Auto mode be reset when the equalizer setting value has been changed,  
because the feedback points may change.

12.4. NOM Attenuation Settings  
NOM is an acronym of Number of Open Microphones, and represents the number of microphones in open  
status (the number of input channels with open gates).  
The NOM attenuation function automatically adjusts the open microphone's input channel gain depending on  
the number of open microphones. The open microphone channel gain is attenuated by the gain set on the  
following setting screen each time the number of open microphones doubles. The use of this function allows  
an output level to be kept constant, thus helping to prevent feedback. Set each input channel to enable or  
disable this function. (Refer to p. 39.)  
This function operates in each of the auto-mixing groups, GROUP A through D (p. 37).

12.6. Protect Settings  
Operation misses can be avoided by protecting front panel-mounted key operations.  
Tips  
To make subsequent protections valid when the power is ON after the initial Protect function settings, save  
the configuration (p. 60). (However, if the Protection function is enabled in the way described below, the  
configuration save needs not be performed because the latest configuration including the Protection function  
settings are automatically saved at the moment of the key operation.) Settings are saved as system data,  
and setting status is maintained even if the preset memory is recalled.  
Control operations can be performed either by way of the RS-232C port or the remote control module even  
when in protection mode.  
Configuration can also be saved by pressing the Setting knob at this screen.  
When using the D-981, D-983, or D-984VC:
