LMS-D6 LOUDSPEAKER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The LMS-D6 is a compact and powerful DSP based audio-processing unit, ideally suited
for fixed installation applications, where it combines the functions of multiple
conventional products in a compact 1U high unit. To achieve this the LMS-D6 has 2 inputs
and 6 outputs, which can be configured in 5 basic modes: 3 x 2 way, 2 x 3 way, 4 way, 5
way and 6 way crossover. Each input has gain and delay. Each output consists of a high
and lowpass filter, 5 bands of parametric equalisation, limiter, delay, gain and polarity
controls. User memories are provided, and also a multi-level security 'lock-out' function
for all controls. The LMS-D6 is also available with optional AES/EBU inputs and outputs.
The LMS-D6 is designed for quick adjustment via easy-to-use front panel controls.
Features
Superb audio quality: carefully optimised double precision processing plus 40 bit
internal data path for exceptional dynamic range and sonic quality.
A flexible 2 input, 6 output multi-mode format featuring a choice of 3 x 2 way, 2 x 3
way, 4 + 2 way, 5 + 1 way and 6 way crossover modes with limiters.
Each parametric section provides +15dB to -30dB of gain at centre frequencies
between 20Hz - 20kHz with a wide range of Qs from 0.4 to 128. All parameters feature
fine resolution with 1/36th octave frequency steps, 0.1dB gain increments and 100 Q
settings. Any parametric section can be set for LF & HF shelving response.
Six high performance limiters are provided, featuring a wide range of control over
Attack, Release and Threshold parameters. The output meters shows headroom to
the limit threshold. The meter time constants track the limiter tim e constants to show
precise power usage.
Variable high and low-pass filters for each output can be set for 12, 18 and 24dB per
octave slopes with a choice of Bessel, Butterworth or Linkwitz-Riley responses.
Independent control over high & low-pass functions allows asymmetric crossover
functions to be realised.
Three velocity-sensitive rotary encoders provide a familiar and easy to use control
format with all filter information displayed simultaneously on a backlit LCD di splay.
Delay of up to 650mS can be independently set for each output with a minimum
increment of 2.6µS.
Comprehensive standard specification includes 20 user memories, and
Turbosound’s pre set memories.
The LMS-D6 provides exceptional audio quality with a full >110dB dynamic range,
high sampling rate and minimal filtering.
