3 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing the innovative UX8800 digital signal processor (DSP) from Eastern Acoustic Works. While designed with the fundamental principles of
3 . 1 UX8800 Description
The UX8800 is a
System Processor: The UX8800 functions as a
Loudspeaker Processor: The UX8800 functions to provide sophisticated,
In System Processor mode, the UX8800 provides a complete suite of
In Loudspeaker Processor mode, one can create up to four different EAW loudspeaker processors for specific EAWloudspeaker products or loudspeaker arrays. These are referred to as “Greyboxes.” This term comes from certain parameters not being user adjustable
The simplicity of the Loudspeaker Processor mode makes the UX8800 practical for entry level users and fast to operate for professional users. This function provides for a high level of system consistency while retaining all necessary user alignment controls.
3 . 2 Features and Benefits
•Multiple Mode operation – Allows use as standard system processor or as dedicated loudspeaker processor.
•“Greybox” operation – Complete processing presets for EAW loudspeakers provides ease of setup, consistency, and interoperability between EAW products and systems.
•Comprehensive and intuitive front panel control – Access to operational parameters making computer control unnecessary for simple and quick adjustments.
•
•Digital inputs
•EAWPilot software – Comprehensive software control of all hardware parameters.
•Gunness Focusing capable – Implements Gunness Focusing for specific EAW loudspeaker systems using the “Greybox” mode.
•All filter parameters are compatible with EAW’s measurement and modeling software - Allows the creation of advanced array processing.
•Advanced Greybox Limiting - Provides more robust driver protection and better sonic performance based on specific EAW driver and loudspeaker performance characteristics.
3 . 3 Networking Capabilities
Standard Ethernet protocol and cabling is used to communicate with and control the processor. Both audio and control signals can be transmitted between additional processors using the
