INTRODUCTION

DATA

The Shure Model DP11EQ is a single-channel, digital signal processor that combines a comprehensive dynamics processor, two parametric equalizers, and a delay in a single, half-rack enclosure. The DP11EQ can function as a gate, expander, Automatic Gain Control (AGC) leveler, compressor, limiter, and no overshoot peak limiter. All of these features are accessed via the supplied Windows* software. You can connect a computer to set up the unit in a sound system, then remove the computer so no one can tamper with the settings when the unit is left unattended. The DP11EQ is designed for installed sound reinforcement applications: theater, conference rooms, meeting halls, houses of worship, etc.

Hardware Features

SCrystal* 20-bit A/D and D/A converters (Analog-to-Digital, Digital-to-Analog) for 104 dB dynamic range.

S48 kHz sampling rate for flat response to 20 kHz.

SHalf-rack space chassis allows rack mounting of one or two units in a single rack space with no sagging or bending.

SA SIGNAL presence and a CLIP indicator

SDYNAMIC GAIN meter.

SShure Link connectors for networking to other Shure Link devices, such as the models DFR11EQ and UA888.

Software Features

SShure Link Interface allows multiple units to be programmed with a single computer.

SIndependently driven, cross-coupled, balanced 1/4-inch and XLR outputs. Can be used with balanced or unbalanced inputs.

SElectronically balanced input with combination

1/4-inch and XLR connector. Can be used with balanced or unbalanced outputs.

SNo internal batteries. Settings and DSP program stored in internal EEPROM.

S+4 dBu/±10 dBV DIP-switch-selectable input and output levels.

S80 MHz Motorola* DSP56009 processor engine with full 24-bit internal processing.

SRS-232 interface for external computer control and firmware updates.

SInternal linear power supply eliminates the need for a cumbersome external power supply.

SSolid state bypass eliminates unreliable mechanical relays and switches.

SFour (4) processing blocks: pre-dynamics equalizer (EQ1), dynamics (DYN), post-dynamics (EQ2), and Delay.

SThe dynamics processor functions as a Gate, Expander, AGC Leveler, Compressor, Limiter, and No Overshoot Peak Limiter.

SThe parametric equalizer offers up to 10 filters

with adjustable frequency, up to 6 dB of boost or ±18 dB of cut per filter, 1/40 to 2 octave bandwidth.

SResponse Viewing. The dynamics and equalizer windows each have a viewer which shows the effect of the process on the signal.

SUp to 1.3 seconds of Digital Delay with temperature compensation option. Displayed in time and distance.

SDigitally-controlled signal polarity inverting for equipment that inverts balanced signals.

SFront panel lockout control to prevent tampering.

SStorage of multiple scenes to floppy or hard disk.
