ASHLY PROTEA DSP-1 OPTION CARD

When you add a Proteane DSP Option Card to your PE-Series amplifier, you have just
simplified system implementation for many applications in live sound, commercial sound
reinforcement and installations. Best of all, standard Ethernet protocol (auto or manual IP
configuring), a PC and Ashly?s easy to understand and navigate Proteane Software is
used to control everything.
Or, do it wireless! Proteane mobile is a software application enabling you wireless control
of PE-Series amplifiers and the DSP-1 and DSP-2 Option Cards for the PE-Series amplifiers.
Proteane DSP Option Cards use a SHARC 200MHz, 32-bit floating-point processor and
operates from 48 to 96kHz with a 24-bit AD/DA. Both the XLR and Euroblock versions offer
both analog and digital (AES3) inputs and two additional processed output channels to drive
additional amplifier channels. (One card will control two 2-channel amps!)
Proteane DSP cards have an extensive DSP library including: a full set of filter types for graphic,
parametric, notch and shelving equalization. Additionally, there are Bessel, Butterworth and
Linkwitz/Riley high and low pass crossover filters with slopes of up to 48dB/octave. For phase
correction, Ashly has included all pass filters as an option. Additional processing blocks include:
signal delay, compressor/limiter, gate, matrix mixer, signal generators (sinewave, white and pink
noise) and metering.
All DSP functions use a ?Click and Hot-Plug? user interface to place processor blocks in the signal
chain. This method allows you to select a processing block and place it wherever you need it in
your signal chain. The process is seamless and in real time, with no need to wait for your system
to recalculate or recompile its settings.
Remote control of the front panel attenuators, power standby/power down and recall of up to three
presets can be done using the contact closure terminals.
Installation is quite simple. Or, you can order your PE amplifier with the DSP Option Card factory
installed!

Full-featured Speaker Processing in a 1U Space
Speaker processing can be a complicated business requiring a substantial array of equipment, but the Yamaha SP2060 offers everything you need in a single rack space. This innovative 24-bit, 96-kHz digital speaker processor delivers excellent sound quality, an impressive variety of processing functions — gain, delay, PEQ, comp, crossover, limiter, and an all-pass filter for phase adjustment — and intuitive programming from Yamaha's DME Designer application running on a personal computer. It has two analog inputs and six analog outputs, plus two AES/EBU format digital inputs for connectivity with a broad range of systems. And if you use Yamaha Installation Series Speakers, all you need to do is select one of the many optimized presets provided for great sound with minimum measurement and setup time. The SP2060 is a compact, portable 1U unit that is ideal for live sound or installations.

With 12 inputs and 6 outputs and Ethernet control the dbx ZonePro? 1260 and 1261
are the newest members of the ZonePro? family providing a complete suite of signal
processing and control for Commercial Audio applications.
Designed to offer superior system sonic performance and flexibility, the 1260/1261 deliver
the highest quality tools available. Even the input and outputs connectors were chosen for
their standard usage and reliability. The ZonePro products offer Euroblock connectors for
balanced signals and RCA connectors for interfacing with consumer equipment often used
in commercial applications; there is also a simple analog input buss that allows inputs to be
sent from one unit to the next for unit and job scalability. The 1260 and 1261 provide every
necessary processing tool, from the input processing like gain control and EQ available on all
inputs to highly sophisticated and specific functions such as selectable paging microphone
processing including Gating, De-Essing, Auto Gain Control, Compression and Feedback
Suppression. The heart of the ZonePro products is the Routing module that provides of course
Primary Source Selection but also Source Ducking for Paging and Priority Override. The outputs
also offer a wealth of processing designed for commercial applications like our patent-pending
AutoWarmth? function that was co-developed with JBL to provide natural low frequency extension
at any signal level. Each output also offers EQ, Bandpass and Crossover filters, Limiting and Delay
for system optimization. With the ZonePro? every tool is at your disposal to maximize the response
of your system.
Beyond processing, the ZonePro? products offer multiple forms of control to further extend the
versatility of your system. From easy-to-use wall panel Zone Controllers for standard end-user
functions like source select and volume control to advanced system control including a built-in
Real Time Clock that can provide programmable system changes throughout the day or week.
For system setup and monitoring the ZonePro Designer software provides an intuitive interface
and a speedy setup Wizard for configuring and editing all system parameters. The addition of
Ethernet control means that not only will it work with standard network equipment, but it can also
be accessed from remote dialup locations or from wireless access points.
The ZonePro? 1260 and 1261 will take your Commercial Audio system to the next level with advanced
processing, versatility and control.
