PE DSP

The Proteane-DSP cards are only for use in Ashly PE-Series (Protea Enabled) amplifiers. The DSP-1 and DSP-2 cards offer a wide range of digital features that extend the functionality of your PE-Series amplifier.

Installation

If the Proteane-DSP Option Card was ordered with your amplifier, no installation is necessary. If you are retrofitting it to a PE-Series amplifier that you own already, follow these steps:

1.Disconnect the amplifier mains as well as all inputs and outputs

2.Remove the 4 screws on the Standard Input card

3.Carefully pull the Standard Input card from the chassis

4.Remove the internal connectors from the Standard Input card

5.Reconnect the internal connectors to the Proteane-DSP Option Card

6.Carefully slide the new card into the chassis

7.Replace the screws, inputs, outputs and mains

You can now power-up your amplifier and use your new card. If you are not comfortable performing this installation, refer this task to an authorized Ashly service provider.

The Proteane software is on the CD shipped with your amplifier. Check www.ashly.com for software and firmware updates.

Features

Both Proteane-DSP Option Cards offer the same features, with different connectors. The cards provide both AES/EBU digital inputs as well as standard analog inputs.

Internal digital processing setup is accomplished via Ashly Proteane software connected through the 10/100 Ethernet connector. To maximize your investment in a Proteane-DSP Option Card, two additional “processed” output connectors are provided to drive additional amplifier channels.

Panel Details

1.Balanced Inputs – On the DSP-1, these inputs are standard female XLR connectors. On the DSP-2 these inputs are via 3-pin Euroblock grounded connectors.

2.Processed Channel Outputs – These connectors provide processed signal to additional amplifiers via male XLR connectors (DSP-1) or Euroblock connectors (DSP-2).

3.Ethernet Connector & Indicators – The 10/100 Ethernet connector interfaces with a Protea NE network, or computer if available. The indicators show network link and data activity. All DSP control is via this interface and Protea software on a connected PC.

4.Preset Recall, Remote Standby & Remote Level Control Connector – This connector facilitates hard-wired preset recall (as set in in Protea software), remote standby and remote attenuation control. See wiring diagram on the next page for connection and contact closure information

5.AES/EBU Input Connector – This connector accepts a standard AES/EBU digital signal at 44.1 to 96 KHz
