PWR-DSP1 User Manual 2.4 2.4.1 Feature description PWR-DSP1 Amplifier specifications The PWR-DSP1 is an amplifier with total of 2400W limit by its power supply. The following electrical specifications show the typical operating 2.4.2 Digital Signal Processing (DSP) The PWR-DSP1 amplifier is a plate amplifier with embedded Digital Signal Processing (DSP) controlled remotely over Ethernet networks. Real time/live changes of the settings are saved automatically inside the flash memory of the PWR-DSP1.
PWR-DSP1 User Manual 2.4.3 Audio Video Bridging (AVB) AVB defines a group of network protocols for the distribution of time synchronized and low latency Audio & Video streams over IEEE802 networks. By leveraging a combination of existing 802 network technologies along with standards specifically designed for the purpose, AVB technology lays the ground work for un-paralleled guaranteed media streaming over Ethernet networks. The overall concept of AVB is actually rather simple.
PWR-DSP1 User Manual 3 3.1 Setup guide Box content Box Content 1 x PWR-DSP1 amplifier module 1 x CAT5 patch cable 1 x Molex connectors + 2 inserts to be crimped to speaker cable. Startup guide Optional accessories available at webstore and required for operation PowerCON 20A NAC3FCA (Required for AC cable) M4 T Nuts (12pcs required per PWR-DSP1) to mount unit to your enclosure 3.
PWR-DSP1 User Manual 3.3 Connectivity 3.3.1 Network PWR-DSP1 requires at least one Ethernet connection for initial configuration of the DSP and AVB audio streaming. If AVB is unused, unit do not require an Ethernet connection once configured. A standard-straight through Ethernet CAT5/6 network is required for connectivity through a network switch. If your computer does not support autoswitching, use a crossover CAT-5/6 cable instead.
PWR-DSP1 User Manual 3.4 Step by Step guide The PWR-DSP1 is a powerful amplifier and could easily damage your system if incorrectly configured. Do make sure to follow these basic step by step instructions for your first time operating the product. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 3.5 Read the user manual and take the time to familiarize yourself with the virtual devices inside the software. Connect the amplifier to the you ethernet Network.
PWR-DSP1 User Manual Step5: With the software up and running, you’re now ready to configure your PWR-DSP1. 4 System Configuration 4.1 User interface overview The AVBStreamer Toolbox provides a simple user interface for configuration of the AVB and DSP setting of PWR-DSP1 units.
PWR-DSP1 User Manual - OFFLINE mode to be used when building a configuration for a “Virtual device”. You can save the configuration on your PC to load at a later time to an online device. Until ratification of 1722.1 standard, only DSP4YOU products will be recognized as part of the AVB tree. A firmware upgrade will provide discovery of other AVB devices in the future. In the mean time, It means that AVB streams can only be built among AVB devices of DSP4YOU (e.g. Dana server, Eline, Epower).
PWR-DSP1 User Manual 4.2.3 Audio settings Tab The PWR-DSP1 includes an embedded Digital Signal Processor (DSP) used to perform basic signal processing such as filtering, gain control, equalization, dynamic range compression and time alignment. In ONLINE mode (i.e. selecting an actual unit from the device tree) all changes are performed real time and automatically saved in the flash memory of the PWR-DSP1. Settings are automatically reloaded at next connection.
PWR-DSP1 User Manual 4.2.3.3 Source selection Either controlled from the switch at the back of the unit or from software, you can select the audio source between: Analog audio from the 2 x XLR connector at the back of the PWR-DSP1 Network audio from another AVB device on the network Note: Network audio (AVB) selection is only available for plug-in with the software AVB option enabled. 4.2.3.4 Input control The PWR-DSP has monitoring, digital gain and mute control .
PWR-DSP1 User Manual At any times during the tuning, one can easily mouse over the curve to provide a real time reading of the equalization at a certain point. Select from Peak, High Shelf, Low Shelf filters Band selection by radio button Select from Peak, High Shelf, Low Shelf filters 4.2.3.6 Matrix switcher At the center of the signal path is a 3x3 matrix switcher allowing to route the signal as required. 4.2.3.
PWR-DSP1 User Manual Filter type provided include: o Butterworth (BW): 6/12/18/24/30/36/42/48dB o Linkwitz Riley (LR): 12/24/36/48dB Cut off frequency ranges from 10 to 20kHz in 1Hz increments. 4.2.3.
PWR-DSP1 User Manual 2 simple sections: Talkers (source) on the left, Listeners (destination) on the right. Select one Talker (i.e. Source) from the Talker list and drag&drop it in the “Drop Talker Here” box. Repeat the same step for the Listener side (i.e. destination). The dialog box should now look like this: With the talker and listener selected, the next step in building a stream is to select the source channels from the talker channel section.
PWR-DSP1 User Manual 4.2.4.2 Delete a stream Once a stream is configured, the stream is listed in the Talker stream list (below the Talker audio channels), and is uniquely identified by the Listener’s hostname. To delete a stream, simply drag from the Taker stream list the particular stream into the garbage bin. To delete a stream, simply drag the stream into the garbage bin as shown by green arrow To configure a new stream with a new device, simply drag the Talker/ Listener into the garbage bin. 4.2.
PWR-DSP1 User Manual 4.2.5.2 Save configuration Once a configuration defined, you can save the DSP parameters to a single xml file. If your Windows OS is not configured to show file extensions, make sure to add a .xml to the file name as shown below. 4.2.5.3 Load configuration The loading of configuration will load all DSP parameters.
