CHAPTER 1: Introduction

Product overview

Congratulations on purchasing the PSR1212, a highly advanced twelve-by-twelve digital matrix mixer with audio processing. It utilizes an internal macro language and 32 user-definable presets to quickly adapt to a variety of sound reinforcement and room-combining applications in auditoriums, stadiums, theatres, gymnasiums, hotel/convention centers, conference rooms, training rooms, and boardrooms.

The PSR1212 facilitates local and remote PC setup and diagnostics, logic outputs, and automatic gated microphone operation. Gating parameters for microphone inputs can be individually customized, while automatic gain control keeps the overall sound level consistent. Eight of the 12 channels can be configured as an automatic microphone mixer.

All microphone mixing parameters can be customized and any combination of inputs can be routed to any combination of outputs, with attenuation adjustments at each cross point. This allows flexibility in accommodating different applications and customer requirements.

Adjustments in routing, level, and other functions can be made through presets activated through a closure on the rear panel, an RS-232 serial interface, or a control panel through the RS-485 port.

The PSR1212 features eight audio processing blocks, each with 15 filters. Each filter can be configured as a parametric equalizer, high pass, low pass, CD horn, high shelving, low shelving, all pass, or crossover. This allows you to tailor the PSR1212’s audio response to optimize the audio quality and fidelity in a wide variety of venues.

The GPIO (general purpose input/output) allows switching among any of 32 user-stored presets. This gives you real-time flexibility to meet a variety of audio reinforcement requirements.

Network-based interconnectivity allows up to eight PSR1212s to be connected and controlled as a single unit, allowing microphone coverage in applications requiring up to 64 mics.

The PSR1212’s Macro Pro™scripting language allows the unit to function without the need for an external controller. However, it can be easily interfaced to the ClearOne Control Panel or XAP IR Remote via either of the two RS-485 ports. The unit can also interface with a PC or external controller through the RS-232 port.
