Maximum rated RMS power of the speakers connected to D-Premier (Factory Setting: 240 W RMS)
This setting allows to prevent excessive power from damaging speakers.

Minimum impedance of the speakers connected to D-Premier over the whole audio bandwidth (Factory Setting: 6 ohms)
This value is used along with the maximum speaker power to limit the amplifier output voltage and protect speakers from excessive power.

Bandwidth of the amplified speaker outputs when either subwoofer mono output or preamplified stereo output is turned off. Full range: The music sent to the speakers is reproduced without any modification. Filtered (high-pass): The music sent to the speakers is high-pass filtered (according to the crossover settings available below) in order to remove unwanted low-frequency content. This can be useful on bookshelves that naturally suffer from inefficiency in the reproduction of low frequency signals.

Bandwidth of the amplified speaker outputs when either subwoofer mono output or preamplified stereo output is turned on. Full range: The music sent to the speakers is reproduced without any modification. Filtered (high-pass): The music sent to the speakers is high-pass filtered (according to the crossover settings available below) in order to remove unwanted low-frequency content. For instance, this mode can be selected to instantly move from/to a 2.0 to/from a 2.1 or 2.2 configuration.

Bandwidth of both subwoofer mono output or preamplified stereo output. Full range: The music sent to the subwoofer/preamplified output is reproduced without any modification. This is the recommended option for connecting headphone amps or active subwoofers with embeded filtering capabilities. Filtered (high-pass): The music sent to the subwoofer/preamplified output is low-pass filtered (according to the crossover settings available below) in order to remove unwanted high-frequency content.

Passive: on each unit, the music sent to the speakers is reproduced without any modification. Active: on each unit, a crossover is performed. The music sent to the left speaker is low-pass filtered while the music sent to the right speaker is high-pass filtered (according to the crossover settings available below). No phase inversion is performed.

Corner frequency of the above-mentioned filters. It is recommended to match this parameter with the low -3dB cut-off frequency of the main speakers or with the high -3dB cut-off frequency of the subwoofer, usually programmable.

Order of the above-mentioned low and/or high pass filters. The higher the order, the higher the off-band attenuation slope: 6dB/octave for first-order filters, 12dB/octave for second-order filters, 18dB/octave for third-order filters and 24dB/octave for fourth-order filters.

In Stereo and Multi-Room configurations (parameter below), swapped channels directs the left program of the source to the right speaker and vice versa, which can be useful especially when wall-mounting D-Premier to prevent crossing the speaker cables (Factory Setting: disabled)
In Bi-Amp and Dual-Mono, normal channel order corresponds to left channel output from the first D-Premier in the chain (the master, connected to the sources), and right channel driven by the second D-Premier (slave) (Factory Setting); swapped channel is the opposite: sources on the right amplifier, which may be useful to better match your room layout

Enabling D-Premier digital output allows to enjoy the built-in professional ADC and hybrid phono stage and digitally record analog sources, but also opens the door to multi-amplification beyond the Stereo mode (Factory Setting).
A master D-Premier is connected to the sources, receives the remote radio link, is in charge of a part of the amplification, and sends the current source and control to the first slave D-Premier in the chain; this second D-Premier provides additional amplification; future software release will enable more than 2 D-Premier in a chain.
Please pass the cursor over each configuration name for a detailed description.
Note: Some D-Premier with serial number below 100 and displaying BL 0.0 on the HDMI line, after a long-press then two short presses on the phase button of the remote, require a bootloader upgrade to run multi-amplification: please contact your dealer or support@devialet.com

runs a single D-Premier is standalone, stereo mode (Factory Setting)

plays the same stereo program on all D-Premier

provides a double output of each channel: one D-Premier supplies the left program duplicated on both its speaker outputs and the other does the same with the right program: this can be used to drive the low and the high drivers of a speaker with distinct amplifiers and cables and further reduce inter-modulation phenomena, especially throughout the cable, since the amplifier's figure is already ultra-low

tailors two D-Premiers to provide more power from a stereo program with even improved performance: each amplifier runs one program channel in bridged mode, and the speaker is connected between both active (red) binding posts

Input of the slave D-Premier connected to the digital output of the previous unit in a multi-amplification chain (unused in Stereo mode)
Coax 1 (Factory Setting) is recommended in dual D-Premier configuration.

Moving Magnet, high level output, low input sensitivity, no parallel adaptation (Factory Setting)
MC: Moving Coil, low level output, high input sensitivity, possible parallel resistive and capacitive cartridge loading

two-channel, stereo input (Factory Setting)
Mono: single channel cartridge: mean of left and right inputs is performed and sent to both amplifier channels

Maximum output RMS level of the cartridge: the amplifier gain is adjusted to make it match the maximum RMS voltage at the speaker output (Factory Setting: 5 mVRMS)
An excessive value requires to push higher the volume control and needlessly prepare the amplifier to high power demand, with slightly increased energy consumption and heat dissipation; a too low value leads to clipping of the most dynamic records

Resistive and capacitive parallel loading of MC cartridge (useless and disabled in MM): should match the cartridge manufacturer's recommendation to achieve optimal frequency response and overall tone balance
Loading is not available on the Alternative Phono input, hence mostly suitable for MM cartridge

De-accentuation curve to be applied: 1976 version includes an additional subsonic filter (Factory Setting: 1953)
This parameter can be dynamically changed if a button of the remote is assigned to this function - this is a startup value, or is fixed if no remote button is selected to change this setting

Adjustment of the left/right channel cartridge sensitivity unbalance: extreme positions -100% / Left corresponds to doubling the left input and muting the right input, whereas 100% / Right corresponds to doubling the right input and muting the left input, (Factory Setting: 0, no correction)

Sampling frequency of all analog inputs (shared parameter for all phono and line inputs)
Factory Setting 96 kHz is the optimal value, whereas 192 kHz provides an extended bandwidth at the expense of a slightly increased total noise

Volume value when starting D-Premier, and when changing source if Safe volume source change (below) is enabled (Factory Value: -40 dB; value below -20 dB highly recommended)

Lowers the volume to the startup value above if currently higher, when changing source, in order to prevent unexpected excessively loud sound from the new source (Factory Setting: enabled, highly recommended)

Delay since no program has been playing and no action on the remote has been performed before which D-Premier automatically lowers the volume if higher to a low-power consumption value and save more energy (Factory Setting: 5 min)
The display slightly dims to notify this and reverts to normal brightness when music is back or on any action on the remote; if reduced, the volume is not automatically restored for safety reasons (unexpected loud sound).

After the above low power delay has expired, a second timer counts before automatically shutting down D-Premier (Factory Setting: 30 min)
D-Premier has been designed to remove any source of thermal distortion and allow you to fully enjoy your music from the very first second.

Subwoofer enabled when starting D-Premier; available if Subwoofer Out is enabled and if global subwoofer operation is selected, not per source (Factory Setting: disabled)
This parameter can be dynamically changed if a button of the remote is assigned to this function - this is a startup value, or is fixed if no remote button is selected to change this setting.

Subsonic filter enabled when starting D-Premier; subsonic filtering removed the lowest basses, which prevents excessive membrane displacement of small speakers (Factory Setting: disabled)
This parameter can be dynamically changed if a button of the remote is assigned to this function - this is a startup value, or is fixed if no remote button is selected to change this setting.

Volume value when playing a source configured as Pass Thru; available if at least one source is configured in Pass Thru (Factory Setting: -15 dB)
This is used in A/V systems when volume is externally controlled.
Except in those configuration, built-in volume control is recommended for optimal sound quality and power consumption.

Maximum input RMS level: the amplifier gain is adjusted to make it match the maximum RMS voltage at the speaker output (Factory Setting: 2 VRMS)
An excessive value requires to push higher the volume control and needlessly prepare the amplifier to high power demand, with slightly increased energy consumption and heat dissipation: this is especially the case if you connect the earphone output of a portable player (whose output voltage is limited to protect your ears) without choosing the corresponding low value preset; a too low value leads to clipping of the most dynamic records.

Sampling frequency of all analog inputs (shared parameter for all phono and line inputs)
Factory Setting 96 kHz is the optimal value, whereas 192 kHz provides an extended bandwidth at the expense of a slightly increased total noise.
