5.1 System description

FC-9 – DSP-System Controller (4 in / 6 out).
Automatic calibration function and integrated speaker
management system provide maximum protection for amplifiers
and speakers.
Digital DSP system controller with 4 inputs and 6 outputs,
especially for fixed installations, Fohhn Audio DSP, 19"/1HE
designer housing. Phoenix connections, 8 make contacts for
accessing presets. Automatic calibration function for all connected
amplifiers (computer-aided setup) guarantees maximum protection
for both amplifiers and speakers. Remote operation and monitoring
via laptop, 8-button wall panel available. Network-compatible.
Integrated Fohhn Audio DSP for each output channel with 10-
band parametric EQ, delay, variable high/low-pass filter, dynamic
processor with noise gate, 180° phase reversal and status display
for monitoring the temperature and operating time. Integrated
speaker management system with default presets for all Fohhn
speakers. Ideal for fixed installations.
Fohhn Audio DSP technology.
State-of-the-art DSP technology. Our digital sound processors are
integrated in all Fohhn amplifiers, new active speakers and the FC-
9 digital controller. The algorithms used and the precision of the
programming define DSP technology. Fohhn development engineers
have invested a great deal of time attempting to produce the
perfect sound. Fohhn began developing its own DSP technology in
2000 and Head of Electronics Development Bernd Nimmrichter and
his team have been consistently developing the Fohhn DSP concept
ever since.
Configuration
To configure the FC-9 the Fohhn Audio Soft V3 is indispensable. For
connecting the it to a PC the Fohhn-Net Adaptor NA-1 is necessary.
Make contacts
There are 8 available make contacts for accessing presets on
connected Fohhn devices, changing the volume in definable
increments and grouping any number of end devices into clusters.
Integration in media control systems
Compatible with media control systems. For example, all end
devices with integrated Fohhn audio DSPs can be operated by AMX
or CRESTRON media control units via the FC-9. Drivers for AMX and
CRESTRON are provided by Fohhn. Operation via 8 make contacts or
RS-485 protocol.
Integration of Fohhn systems into EIB bus technology. One
building, one concept, one system.
The 8 close contacts of the FC-9 Fohhn-Net Remote allow the
integration of Fohhn systems in bus technology, including all
operating comforts. The relay contacts in the distribution box
control the 8 close contacts of the FC-9 Fohhn-Net Remote and
make integration in other bus systems easier as a result.
Amplifier presets and ampliffier Automatic calibration function
CAS
The FC-8 must have access to the amplifier data (amplification,
maximum output voltage) in order to provide maximum protection
for your speakers.
The FC-9 gives you the option of storing the data of up to 100
amplifiers and then retrieving this data again when required. The
FC-9 can automatically calculate the corresponding performance
data for any amplifier. The measured values appear on the display,
can be edited if necessary and then stored under a separate name.
You can then load the stored data to all 6 output channels. Needless
to say, you can assign a separate amplifier to each output channel.
When an amplifier preset is loaded, the performance data is
calculated with reference to the speaker data and the multiband
limiter on the FC-9 is set automatically.
