Features

Consumer and professional audio compatibility — Input and output line level can be set to consumer (–10 dBV) or professional (+4 dBu).

Inputs — Six balanced or unbalanced mic/line on 3.5 mm, 3-pole captive screw connectors.

Outputs — Four balanced or unbalanced on 3.5 mm, 3-pole captive screw connectors.

ProDSPaudio signal processing — Features 32- and 64-bit floating point audio DSP processing providing wide dynamic range and maintaining audio signal transparency while preventing DSP signal clipping and simplifying management of gain staging.

Pro-grade hardware — Studio grade 24-bit, 192 kHz analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters sampling at 48 kHz.

Low latency DSP processing — The DSP engine supports a large array of concurrent audio processing within an audio channel and across multiple channels, while maintaining extremely low latency from input to output.

DSP Configurator software — Powerful, user-friendly PC-based software tool for managing all audio operations of the DMP 64. Enables complete setup and configuration of digital audio processing tools on the ProDSP platform, as well as routing and mixing.

Intuitive graphical user environment — The DSP Configurator Software features a Graphical User Environment with a clear view of all input and outputs, audio processing blocks, routing, mix points, and virtual routing in a single window. This allows a designer or installer to quickly view all audio activities without having to access multiple windows or menus.

SpeedNav keyboard navigation — SpeedNav enables user-friendly, keyboard- based navigation of the DSP Configurator Software without the need for a mouse or touchpad. Using keyboard navigation keys and shortcuts, a user can access any input or output, mixing points, and all audio DSP tools. Using only the keyboard for software access can help expedite audio system setup and commissioning while onsite using laptop PCs.

Copy and paste for processing blocks — To help speed audio system design and setup, parameter settings can be quickly copied between individual processing blocks or identical groups of blocks within the Graphical User Environment, using conventional cut-and-paste commands.

32 DSP Configurator presets — Using the DSP Configurator software, parameters for DSP processing, signal levels, or audio routing can be saved as presets. These settings can be saved for the entire system, or any selected group of inputs, outputs, mixing points, and DSP blocks.

Six digital I/O ports for remote control or feedback — Six configurable digital I/O ports are provided that enable the DMP 64 to sense and respond to external triggers such as mic activation and muting.

Dual matrix design — The DMP 64 employs a dual matrix design with substantial flexibility to rout, mix, and process audio input sources. A primary matrix routes each input to any or all four outputs. If desired, any of the six inputs can first be directed into a secondary matrix, which routes the inputs to four virtual buses before being mixed back to the outputs via the primary matrix. Virtual buses allow for inputs to be grouped together and then processed with the same DSP settings and parameters, simplifying system setup and control.
