Main features
•
2 audio inputs and 4 audio outputs
•
DSP with 24-bit quantization and 48kHz sampling frequency
•
2 REMOTE ports to control the volume of the inputs or outputs (0-10VDC) from external devices,
such as WPm series panels

•
Processing:
o Controls of gain, phase, MUTE, etc., per input and output
o 8 pEQ (parametric filters) per input and 8 pEQ per output
o Butterworth, Linkwitz-Riley or Bessel crossovers on the inputs and outputs (up to 48
dB/oct)
o Delays on the inputs and outputs
o Compressor/peak limiter on the inputs (with make-up gain)
o Compressor/peak limiter on the outputs (with make-up gain)
o Compressor/RMS limiter on the outputs (with make-up gain)
o 2 LINK groups available to link output channels
o 1 LINK group available to link input channels
•
System templates for the creation of user setups:
o T1: 2 x 1 stereo way
o T2: 2 stereo ways
o T3: 4 mono ways
o T4: 4 mono outputs
•
Each system template automatically sets the operating and control mode of the channels and
their settings, including the LINK group they pertain to. Example: in a stereo setup, the settings
applied to a left channel output will be automatically applied to the output which is assigned to
the right channel, and vice versa (same LINK group)
•
User presets: 20
•
Editing names (labels) of inputs, outputs, presets and device
•
Locking with password protection
