DN9848 Key Features

1.INTRODUCING THE DN9848

The DN9848 is a highly configurable, digital electronic cross-over/loudspeaker management system comprising four balanced analogue input channels and eight balanced analogue output channels. Its unrivalled routing flexibility enables each output to be sourced from a single input, a pair of inputs, or all four inputs.

Each input channel features:

12 separately configurable, fully parametric equalisation stages that may be used for room equalisation

A programmable delay of up to 1000ms Gain control

Full range compression Each output channel features:

Configurable high and low-pass filters for setting the cross-over characteristics

Six stages of fully parametric equalisation that may be used to compensate for system or enclosure characteristics

Delay of up to 300ms on each output, mainly used for system time alignment Gain control and output muting

Full range compression and full range limiting

Dual all-pass phase correction sections, the first of which can be any of the filter or parametric EQ stages and can be adjustable in 5 degree steps

The cross-over filter may be chosen from the following types: 12dB/oct and 24dB/oct peaking (high-pass filter only) Butterworth (6, 12, 18, 24, 36 and 48dB/octave) Linkwitz-Riley (12 and 24dB/octave)

Bessel (12, 18, 24, 36 and 48dB/octave)

Channel programming can be performed directly from the front panel controls or remotely using the associated Stardraw software application or Smaart real-time analysis software (via the RS-232 PC Port or RS-485 COMMS connectors). If required, access to critical parameter menus can be password protected, e.g. to avoid unauthorised adjustments in hire installations.

Commonly used settings can be stored for repetitive use in up to 32 lockable System memories while varying show settings can be stored in up to 5 User memories. Also 99 Presets can be stored in non- volatile Flash memory, including up to 25 available Factory Preset cross-over set ups for commonly used Electro-Voice loudspeaker systems.

Klark Teknik has a policy of continuous development and may produce updates to the DN9848 host code. These can be downloaded to the unit via the front panel PC Port. To keep up with newest features and functions, please visit www.klarkteknik.com.
